I try not to think about water at all. We have a hole where you have to leave your bag and walk back to the tees. I always used to put a second ball in my pocket just in case the first flew off into the woods. I stopped doing that too.

it all depends on how im swinging that day
crappy swing brings out the crappy ball

Never. It's like admitting defeat to me. I'm planning on making it over. Doesn't always work out that way, but I'm not giving up in advance.

Only if it is a test shot to see if I can carry the water to a certain point. If I am playing a planned shot then no.

Until January of this year, I did on every water hole because I had a block in my head that I couldn't get a ball over the water. But, something happened in January and I just started ignoring the water. I haven't used a water ball in any of my rounds in the past three months. I guess I'm not scared of water anymore. Now sand...that is a hole other thing

Wow, Never is leading the poll. I would have thought Sometimes would win by a mile.

Yes, all the time. A common belief states this puts negative thoughts into the gray matter upstairs. For me, I relax when hitting an older, beat up ball (or a less expensive one). Don't ask me why, I just know it works.

So why did you not vote? We have no (Yeas Always) votes. you would be the first.

I grab a cheaper ball if I have it handy. I've put plenty of brand new balls in the water so the pressure to play a good shot by teeing up a brand new zstar doesn't work for me. I just try to concentrate on the target not the hazard.

I have played a water ball on the first hole a few times. There is a creek right in front of the tee box that I've been know to blast my drives into and it sucks when it's a new ball. Sometimes I'll play one on the 9th, not so much a water ball but a combination of a water ball and don't play a yellow ball. If I drive it to the right then the yellow ball gets lost/hard to find in the other range balls that have made it out on the course. Then the approach is over water, even though I've put a lot of balls in the pond I don't worry about it too much since I've usually gotten 7 to 8 good holes out of it anyway.

I laugh at this because it's soo true.... The 2 guys I played with yesterday both hit their tee shots into the creek. Then on the 9th, yup, that was me hitting a fat 9'iron into the pond. Damn Painted Hills. They moved the 9 green back to it's normal spot. FYI. I did have my first back to back to back par holes ever. 6,7,8 then bogey 9. Would have par'd except that water ball.
