I prefer the hand wedge out of a deep bunker where everybody else is on the other side of the green. Damn I'm good at sand shots...

At least you're honest about cheating.

I'm a fucking nerd - I enjoy practicing. When I lived in Michigan I would drive to the course 3x a week or so and take 1 hour for chipping and 1 hour on putting. I would put my ipod on and just do work - what I like doing and I do the same when I hit balls is I try to replicate the same shot with multiple clubs, so I knew the feeling and how to flight things when I had too.

I am way too Type A to actually enjoy it. On top of that the driving range is the most frustrating thing of all for me. Because, you see, I am the greatest driving range player in the world. I can warm up by hitting rocket after rocket, then go to the first tee and snap it out of bounds. After a bad round it's not like I can work it out on the range because once I get there I'm Tiger Fucking Woods.

It sucks.

I don't really worry about 2 footers because I hit them slow enough so that when I miss, I can kick it in with my foot and call it par.

I cheat.

There's times i cheat at putting. I straddle the ball instead of having both feet on one side. It's really accurate.

Everyone knows how important putting is. And it is easy to practice, just stop off at a green and have at it. Hell I do it with my tie on while driving home somedays. But face it, it's boring. So like most I play games to keep it interesting. Here is one I made up myself.

Pick 2 holes 50-70 feet apart, then take 3 balls and try to go up and into the first hole, then back to the second without 3 putting. You'd be suprised how hard that is. Here's the trick: You don't get to leave until the task has been completed. Aside from the obvious lag putting practice it really gets you used to those 3 foot knee knockers. If you've been trying for 20 minutes and need to get home, that last 3 footer will have a lot of pressure as you know that if you miss you have to start over.

I used to think these drills were silly, but don't anymore.

I was one of those guys who could backhand the 18"er's in, knock the 3 footers home firmly without really trying...on the practice green.

I found that it wasn't so easy under tournament conditions where every stroke counted. There were some two footers last summer that were the hardest shots I ever made. And yes, I missed at least one that was about a foot 1/2.

So, these drills help engrain the routine that is needed during those moments when it's not gonna be "automatic".

Play any tournaments? It's tough to do that when one of your playing partners is keeping your score and watching closely. And every stroke counts.

distraction of playing parters is key to good cheating.

A swift kick in the nuts and they have other balls to focus on.

Seriously though, I'm not good enough to play any tournaments, but I knew this guy that would put his ball marker in front of his ball when he picked it up to clean it, then when he put his ball back down, he'd put the ball in front of the marker. Cheating bastard.

He must think people are blind to get away with that.

Last time I remember cheating intentionally was with an old boss. His game had gone south along with his belly, and he was compensating in various ways: taking extra mulligans, foot wedges into more favorable lies, "forgetting" penalty strokes, etc. So a couple of times I kicked my ball to a more favorable spot...he saw me and raised all sorts of hell.

At that moment I realized cheating at golf wasn't worth it and just don't do it anymore.
