Talking to your ball...... and does it listen?

Mine actively ignores me out of spite....

That's balls

Not talking to it today but had a 12 foot putt that should have come from left to right so as it was travelling I was leaning almost at 90 degrees thinking that that would help it. Must have worked as it went in.

I agree, leaning is much more effective!
I sometimes try telling my ball to move left or right during its flight or to stop when I've thinned it for the umpteenth time. I reckon it's slightly more effective than when I call one of my dogs as she goes suddenly deaf when she spots a deer or a squirrel.

Ah, the thin is a waste of stress on your vocal chords. Thought I was Phil today trying to flop a shot over the bunker from the rough only to thin it and shout be lucky as it sailed OOB into the lane.

My favourite is "grow teeth and bite ball"

Balls don't have ears, but mountains do

I don't understand whats funny?

The alternative is hitting the ball then looking away? Is it not better to actually try and follow the ball after you hit it? Surely you will see where it lands, if its in the rough you might find the ball easier if you do!

I bet if you can find a ball rather than taking 3 off the tee you will score lower!

You could try hitting the ball and watching where it goes? No need to talk to it as well, I've found watching where it goes more than sufficient and a very effective tool to employ if you want to find it again after you've hit it.

Specify male golf balls when you buy them, they won't do what you want but at least you have some chance of them listening to you :thup:

Does "Oh s**t!!" count as talking to your ball?

If it does then in answer to the OP I would have to say yes, I talk to my ball quite often.

 

[Norrin Radd]

of course your ball dosent listen ,i mean ,you have just hit it as hard as you can with a golf club ,would you listen to someone if they did that to you.

I always talk to my ball, and my ball ALWAYS listens!









It just chooses to ignore what I ask it to do.
