nope; it's a clear indication that a player is more concerned about the club he's used/using than the result on the scorecard :swing:

Yes I will. I was asked on Sunday why I was using a 3i off the 12th - I said it was because I was not comfortable using my driver. It helps that I was also able to stick it 240yds down the middle

If someone started announcing what club they're going to use before they pulled it from the bag I'd think they were a bit of a knob!
If they announced what club they were going to use after they'd pulled it from the bag I'd think they were an even bigger knob as I can see what club it is by looking at it!

This, come to think of it I have never come across anyone who announces their shot or club of choice

I don't say anything about the club I'm about to hit, why would I?

A work colleague has recently started playing the odd round with us. He always asks what club I'm hitting on the Par 3s,if I say 7 he'll say 9. If I hit 8 he'll go PW.
7/10 he's about 2 clubs short of the green or hit a massive slice because he's tried smashing it

Neither do I.
Why should I want to provide a running commentary on my club selection?

Pull from bag, grip it, rip it , job done .
I don't know what I say, or even if I do. Mind you the big head is usually a give away I'm about to hit the driver

Played Royal Dornoch recently and was playing with 3 Americans from Texas, one of them stepping up to a par 3 says "this is my 180 yard club, I step up to the tee with a hybrid which I hit a bad shot about 30/40 yards the previous hole and said "this is my 30 yard club" Hank says ( yes that was his name) " gee I didn't think you English had a sense of humour"

What I'd say depends on context and sentence - usually and commonly it would preface an Anglo Saxon term!

This for me too.
I would always say "my driver" or "my 9 iron".
However, I would only say if asked.

I don't say what club I am using, but if I did I would say "my" or I might say to myself "its a 7 iron from here"

I joined in really to discuss and hopefully correct some of the utter tripe that is being spewed forth by the yes campaigners in the referendum thread.
inbetween laughing at their blind faith I spotted this interesting thread on golf.
As a 'pretty good' golfer of over 10 years I'm having trouble understanding the point of this 'discussion'. Apart from answering a fellow player during a friendly game I dont think I have, nor ever heard of, anyone 'announcing' their chosen weapon.
very strange practice indeed unless you are an attention seeker, or American.
after the referendum I might come back but it will depend if all the topics are as riveting as this one.

I have played with a few people like that, obsessed with hitting less club than everyone else.
