I feel like I gotta hit a few just to get the muscles activated.

Yeah I get. that… not that I haven’t done it before. And I write this I ended up just going straight to #1 this morning and starting and shot one of my best rounds this morning with a 74. So maybe I should do that more often.

Not a routine but funny. Before Ft. Polk changed their nines, the first hole, now 15, there was a 4' long metal pipe shaped on a J but slightly askew, about four feet off the ground held up by metal legs. Hole at the top and the bottom was open just on the topside. There was a sign that said putt ball in the pipe before teeing off. Well, we pull up and there is a foursome of soldiers standing around the pipe putting in ball after ball and looking around confused. The pipe is used for who tees off first if the first hole is busy. Well, they thought it was part of the game. They just keep putting their ball in the pipe and stand there confused, probably about 5 minutes. I finally explain to Lucy that it's to see who tees off next. If your ball is next, you're up on the tee. No telling how long they been standing there putting in ball after ball. And yes, they had rental bags. CSB.

Hit on the cart girl. Never ceases to amaze me that some 70 year old fat arse thinks he's got a shot
Had a beginner buddy cringingly hitting on the cart girl and at one point said "Wow you have some nice titties." I was like dang Ronnie, really shooting your shot with the direct approach.
I guess dudes just think this girl is going to pick one lucky guy on the course and go out in the woods and let them hit it. Buddy, she's flirting because she wants a good tip, not because she's into you.

My only two quirks/superstitions:
1. I always use a tee on par 3s, but never my own and never a full one. I have to find and use a broken tee on the tee box (I only tee it up a centimeter or two anyway).
2. If someone else sinks a putt before mine, I don't want them to pull their ball out of the hole before I putt. I once heard it's good luck to leave it in; your ball will want to follow the previous one "home" into the hole. Silly, I know.

Two things
1. A guy spots the coin behind the ball which is normal but when he puts it back he puts the ball about and inch or so in front of the ball. Everytime. Has convinced himself he could’ve played college golf.
2. A good friend marks his ball using his putter. Just moves his ball out of the way the entire length of his putter.

I do that, too! Lay the club down 90 degrees from an imaginary line from the ball to the hole. put the ball at the end. When it is clear for me to putt, put it back in reverse.
Leaves the ball mark are completely free of coin, ball mark, tee, whatever is used to mark the spot.
