Don't you just love it when you call a shot and then make it..?
17th hole today, all square with CVG, and I have a birdie putt of about 30 feet. CVG has a 10 footer for birdie - with a shot!
On the way up to the green I casually said to Fragger " Think I need to make a putt here".
Sure enough, in it went, CVG missed so we went down the last all square where my birdie beat his bogey.

Anyone else like to call a shot?
Do you make it?

Done it a few times when it comes off, usually trying to move it around a tree. Often call it and then hit it like a wally.
 
When I get to a decent par 5 with my mates, I will sometimes proclaim "Gentlemen! I'm glad you're here today, as you're about to witness something extremely special"... Normally followed by a horrendous slice.

One day I will nail an arrow straight 320 yarder and they wont be laughing then.
 
My dad calls every single shot he takes which becomes very tedious to the point I have stopped listening! Every single chip is 'this is going in', and the one in a blue moon that drops we never hear the end of it!
 
Saying you have to sink a putt to win a hole isn't really calling a shot is it.

saying I'm going to hit a big high fade here with a 5 iron and hold it up in the wind on a 180 yard par 3 is;)
 
I remember years ago playing foresomes, me and my mate were down and running out of holes (I don't remember the exact score). Anyhow, I was playing the approach and I hit 5 iron so sweetly that I knew the moment it left the club that it wasn't going anywhere else but right next to the flag. I turned to him and told him he better not miss the birdie before the ball had even landed on the green. It stopped about 3 feet away and the knob missed it :D
 
I do Aimpoint and get the perverbial p*** taken out of me for fingers in the air, but it soon changes when you start holing putts.
