What is your best/worst tour pro mannerism?

[MarkT]

Just for a bit of fun (and to share on the website) what do you do on the course, or away from it, that is a giveaway that you (on occasion) act like a tour pro?

I have plenty of previous here...

eg clacking my wedge on the back of my shoes on the way out of the bunker
repairing my pitchmarks with a maximum of three twists
having my glove perfectly arranged in my back pocket, with fingers protruding, when putting

 

[Imurg]

I have been known to re-scabbard my putter - a la Miguel - after I've sunk a long putt..sadly it doesn't happen that often.

 

[MarkT]

I've also been known to do a little comedy Chi Chi when holing a (six foot) putt

 

[Oddsocks]

My standard is the wedge tap on the shoe when leaving a bunker, it just makes sense.

I have been known in the past to do a Sergio but club repairs and replacements are expensive so I toned that down.

Not shouting fore. ?

 

[fundy]

posting utter garbage in a pretend feud on social media

sadly i dont get paid multi millions for such garbage as a few have recently

There is nothing about my game that any pro would recognise!

 

[Slab]

When the shot warrants it I will acknowledge the 'gallery'/doff cap/wave/point to random spectator with wry smile etc etc, after holing a long or difficult putt, particularly if its for birdie

You guys can decide if that comes under best or worst pro mannerism

 

[Imurg]

I'm not sure many Pros do a Fraggeresque "That's a Par" in a high pitched squeaky voice every time they get one..
Would be fun if one of them did.....

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Probably nothing more than the glove in the back pocket although I did do the Tiger point at the hole as the ball dropped on a nice 20 footer on the 14th yesterday

As above ?

Club twirl after a flushed drive or iron shot

 

[HeftyHacker]

I don't take my golf overly serious, especially woth mates, so I have quite a few that are all done in jest (until that horrifying moment you realise you've done something without a hint of irony). Off the top of my head.

- The doff of a cap to a non existent gallery.
- the hitch of the trousers to pick the ball out of the hole.
- the (gentle) drop to the knees after holing out on the 18th Green to celebrate winning my first Swingers Club golf day.
- driving the ball over a stretch of water and holding both arms aloft à la Bryson at Bay Hill. Albeit mine would more likely be an 80 yard pond.
- Kevin Na walk in, usually to watch it slide past the hole.

Unfortunately thats where any resemblance to the pros begins and ends.

Must be clear I would never do these in a club comp or if any of my PPs were submitting scores etc.

I spit and swear a lot

...and I don't have any bad ones

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I will stare hard, unbelievably and accusatorially at my (imaginary) caddy when my meticulously considered and ‘perfectly’ hit wedge shot drops 20yds short and into a green-side bunker.

Surprised he remembers what to do with so much time in between ??

 

[Slime]

After a horrid shot I'll look at the ground, where the ball had been, with utter disgust because the ground was obviously to blame.

 

[MarkT]

On a bad day I also like to faux slam the bunker as if to suggest there wasn't the right amount of sand in there

 

[patricks148]

Players spitting, more of a US thing, except Sergio maybe.

 

[Beedee]

I'm another one that waves to the crowd when I play an unusually good shot.
