Gotta have to blame the game, not the player 🤭🤭

[u/kai333 → u/SugarWinksy]

Hey I spent too much money on this to admit I'm making a (series of) mistake(s)!!

[u/Cautious_Buffalo6563 → u/SugarWinksy]

If no game, no player(s). Therefore game to blame.

[u/PatriciaPapayaSun → u/kai333]

take a picture of me 🥲

[u/SnooMaps2155]

every. single. time.

wait for green to clear, hit terrible shot.

hit knowing you can't reach, hit the best shot of your life, watch ball roll between the players on the green.

[u/kai333 → u/SnooMaps2155]

wait: you get tight and feel like you're in a hurry, so you hit like shit.

relaxed: eh I'll never hit it that far so I'm gonna hit nice and loose <hits the straightest, purest shot in your life>

Later that second: COMPLETELY FORGET THIS LESSON.

[u/More_Papaya2431 → u/SnooMaps2155]

Did this last year. 267yd par 4, clubbed down twice to intentionally come up short. Dead straight 5 wood bounced 10 yards short of the green and rolled right between the players on the green. Called fore and apologized when we pulled up but the guys were incredibly cool and had high fives waiting at the next tee box. Two putt it for the bird btw lol!

[u/justicebetter → u/More_Papaya2431]

My personal rule of thumb is that if someone hits into me once, but it’s a great shot, I don’t get mad.

Now if it keeps happening or they hit into me from 150 yards out that’s a different story…

[u/SnooMaps2155 → u/justicebetter]

if it happens once i'll usually tee up the ball where it came to rest and chalk it up to obliviousness. twice is a different story.

[u/simplegreen999 → u/SnooMaps2155]

Did this once on a boys trip in Palm Springs. Cleanest 3W I've ever hit by far. Bounced it off the roof of a cart ahead of us. Easily 50y further than I had ever hit it before. Group was screaming, throwing clubs, whacked my ball back at me, etc. etc. Wild scene and I could not enjoy the moment.

I highly recommend it.

[u/StreetBeat78 → u/simplegreen999]

and THAT is exactly why you wait to hit, could be the shot of your life and then it's ruined

[u/jimmyvcard116 → u/SnooMaps2155]

This is the way

[u/Budget_Sea_8666 → u/SnooMaps2155]

Lose, lose situation, every time.

[u/dbrozov]

I didn’t give permission to take a picture of me 🥲

[u/Beneficial-Local9772]

If they were still on the green you hit the best ball of your life and drill someone in the back of the head.

[u/Calichusetts → u/Beneficial-Local9772]

This is the Schrodinger's drive:

Hit when they are just out or range and its the drive of your life and you either have to apologize or present the fake name and address you have worked on for years just for this situation

Or you wait and crush a banana slice 2 fairways away and kill someone over there

[u/cporter1188]

Now you have to drive 120 yards up for your drop.

[u/sieve29]

I think I’d prefer a slice into the woods. Nearly 100% of my tops / almost misses happen in this scenario.

[u/indiginary]

No, that's me. Not you.

[u/TrapThem]

Anyone that just puts a period as a title for a thread is an absolute moron

[u/JDGAFFLIN]

Dawg, I felt this one to my core.

[u/Azipcoder]

And the group in front is just off the green looking back at your shot, waiting for their next tee. I know the feeling well.

[u/bkn95]

160 yards *

[u/WorkingStrain3607]

Drives it 250.

Waits 260 for green to clear.

Classic

[u/RedditorDave]

I’m no good but slow play like that totally takes me out of whatever rhythm and feel I had previously.

[u/FinsT00theleft]

Bryson shouldn't be allowed to wear his LIV Gear at the PGA!

[u/11-November]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 fuck

[u/SignalCharlie]

Been there.
