A Little OCD - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**weaddercaps** · 10-16-2009, 09:11 PM

GG's post about her OCD got me thinking about OCD on the course. This may be more about superstition than OCD, but I've met people that have to be wearing only one brand from head-to-toe or can't play unless each club is in it's proper place in their bag. What about you - do you have a bit of OCD when you're golfing - rituals that you can't play unless you do them?

**kiosokkn** · 10-16-2009, 09:48 PM

I can't play if my hands feel even a little slippery. Cord grips took care of that though. I can't take a swing till my shirt is sitting properly on my left side, specifically in the shoulder and collar area. I have to have a hat on my head.

**hLabXZlK** · 10-16-2009, 10:43 PM

Feels weird to me to be golfing without a hat. My golf game is always better when I wear my white shoes.

**repldoinfo** · 10-16-2009, 10:47 PM

I can't play unless I'm wearing my white skort. Just can't swing the club properly with out it.

I don't need anything special to play. With or without a hat, no special outfit, clubs can be a mess. Doesn't matter to me.

There are so many things wrong with that. First it's a golf skirt and second white belongs on a tennis court. White shorts are fine for golf, but not white skirts.

**PapsEdisa** · 10-16-2009, 10:57 PM

I just go with what looks cool and my bag has 14 holders and not having a hat on annoys be I can live with it

**MadMark** · 10-16-2009, 10:59 PM

My obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) I suppose with golf is that all my irons need to be the same brand, and model. From 2i to LW everything has to be the same, make, model, grip, shaft....... I have two really nice, playable, off brand clubs that won't make into my bag on a steady basis for this reason. Plus they don't help my scoring that much anyways.

Woods are another story. I mix, and match those all the time.

I can't read your mind Harry. Did you have a point to make?

To paraphrase a John Lee Hooker song,

"Tan legs, white skort, 'bout to drive me outta my mind."

Have to have a white glove and white tees other than that nothing out the ordinary.

But can I wear a white skort after Labor Day? So many questions.

Who care about his point. Did you see Paula in that skort and socks.

I know I'm a pig. I can't help it.

Bogey - I find it unlikely that white is your best color.

What are you trying to say?

**Yinekol** · 10-17-2009, 01:10 AM

Harry +1: Knee socks!

**Fruriourl** · 10-17-2009, 03:07 AM

My clubs are divided into three sections: woods, irons, and wedges. Each section has to be from the same manufacturer.

When I arrive to the golf course my clubs are pristine, when I leave the golf course my clubs are pristine. I clean them after each shot using a Groove Tube.

**medifastwoman** · 10-17-2009, 03:14 AM

For some reason I am never happy with the tightness/looseness of my belt when I play golf.

**eladiopsislab** · 10-17-2009, 04:51 AM

I have to have my clubs organized exactly the same before, during and after playing. I have the 9 through 3 irons in the bottom divider, the SW, AW and PW the left middle divider, putter in the right middle divider, and the 5W, 3W and driver in the top one. They have to be in that order as I carry or push my clubs around. If any of the shorter irons isn't pushed down all the way and looks longer than a longer iron when in the bag, I need to rearrange that divider immediately.

Nope, no OCD here.

**Tjfyojlg** · 10-17-2009, 07:57 AM

I have a particular way I organize my clubs as well. Mine is not so much OCD as prudent behavior born of losing a club out of my favorite set. I can glance in the bag and see if they are all there since they are all in their proper place.

**ImmimiFruff** · 10-17-2009, 09:33 AM

I think he just did! hehe

And what a good point it was! Well, other than the picture with the socks!
