Golf superstitions

[stefanovic]

Today is Friday 13th, so I wouldn't go out with 13 clubs in my bag or wouldn't want to mess up hole 13.
Just kidding, but as I'm red green colour blind I wouldn't play with a red tee or ball because I can't spot them in the grass.

13 of the Most Ridiculous Golf Superstitions (businessinsider.com)

 

[RichA]

I'm generally an even numbers guy but, for no logical or sensible reason, always feel more confident holding an odd numbered iron.

 

[nickjdavis]

I don't like playing with balls numbered 2, much prefer 3,4 then 1.

 

[Oddsocks]

Never use a second hand ball off the first tee in a comp or match.

 

[Imurg]

Although I do use them from time to time i don't like looking down on a ball with a black number..
Give me a red number ...

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I have a few little habits, preferences and playing practices I adhere to whilst playing - but thinking I don’t really have any superstitions - as in things that if I do or don’t do might result in my experiencing misfortunes.

 

[Dando]

Never use a second hand ball off the first tee in a comp or match.

but you’ll use a pink castle tee and senior flex driver shaft? ??‍

 

[Pathetic Shark]

Only two for golf. My ball marker is whichever Tampa sports team I support has won the most recently and a small leg kick after each birdie.
Beats some of the ones I had during my baseball career.

 

[jim8flog]

I hate having a birdie on the first hole (although I do not deliberately miss).

 

[Backache]

I've studiously avoided eagles and albatrosses my entire golfing life.

 

[fat80b]

I’m not superstitious in any way but I always find someone else’s pitch mark to repair if I have a birdie putt.
Some kind of Karma thing where if I do a good thing then I’ll get to make my birdie putt !

 

[Orikoru]

Always make sure I change my shoes in the car park.

 

[FuzzyDuck]

I won't play a ball number higher than the par of the hole.

 

[BiMGuy]

No superstitions as I’m not ?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

None. My golfing inadequacies more than make up for any bad luck I may get not following my superstitious rituals

 

[patricks148]

Birdieing the first hole at Nairn in a comp, usually means that it's downhill from then on?

 

[Canary Kid]

I guess I’m dull … I don’t have any.

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

Whenever possible, I like to have my golf bag behind me when playing a shot, especially teeing off.

 

[IanM]

Can't think of anything......

 

[Deleted member 23270]

I always put my socks on before my shoes.
