DG Superstitions

[KnightAce222]

The only thing I can think of when Hycard and me play is that we have to have all the pars 3's no matter if it's a 4 or 5 on that course. Now for luck HEHEHEH Sorry Hycard but the tree god's love me and hate you.

OH just send me $20.00 dollars for luck

Anyone reading this who doesn't put $20.00 cash in an envelope and mail it to:

Sidewinding
PO Box 27
Wier, TX 78674

will lose their favorite disc in the next week.

I'll put this to the test. I have at least 5 rounds scheduled next week - 4 at courses I've never played. The odds are in your favor, but you ain't gettin' 20 bucks.

ok, I played 2 rounds today at courses I've never played before and made it home with all my discs. 2 rounds yesterday at 2 different home courses, no lost discs. I've got a round Wednesday and a tournament on Saturday, 3 more rounds to put your superstitious scheme to the test!

It KILLS me to admit this...I lost my favorite disc. It was also the first disc I ever dyed, so it had sentimental value, too. Someone even offered me $30 for it once and I wouldn't let it go. And it happened the day I smugly stated that I made it home with all my discs. I didn't. I'm having serious problems coping with this. My whole game has gone to hell. Man, I wish I'd sent you my twenty bucks.

Talk about OCD: I have this thing about crossed or tangled chains when putting. If chains are crossed and not hanging freely, I will go straighten the chains before throwing my putt. Likewise, after sinking a putt, if the chains are not freely hanging or tangled, I will fix them before moving on to the next hole.

This hasn't helped my game. But I've always done it, and likely always will.

i can not focus on a drive if there is a rock or a stick on the tee box in fron of me. i feel like i will trip or something on it and i have to kick them out of the way. when there are leaves i sweep them away with my foot. my friends think its retarded that i clean it before i throw every time but it works for me so ooooh well

 

[33tango]

I don't think that's a bad superstition at all. And the rational behind it makes complete sense. Course it must be a pain to practice putting with only one disc.

I've seen putting a putting confidence video where they recommend just using 1-2 discs. It instills in you the belief that every shot "counts", because if you have a stack of discs you're practicing with then you just say to yourself it was a bad shot and throw another.

Yellow Discs are the most consistent performers.

I'm the same way...

I also do this and so does the guy I throw with on a regular basis. I would hate to call it a day because I twisted my ankle and couldn't finish the round or play another one.

I don't think clearing your driving path is a superstition, it's a safety factor!

That's funny, I have a similar routine with my tesicles.

wow, you can always count on sidewinding for a dirty remark, even when you wouldnt expect one.

Does this mean you have eight arms? Oh, you didn't mean tentacles? My bad!!

 

[Ishulebest]

I'm not really superstitious, but I once slept with my putter. I had a few Budweisers on a Friday night before my 3rd trny I had ever played in. Well, my wife refused to take me to the course in the middle of the night to practice putt, so I slept with my putter in order not to anger it.I actually played and putted pretty good that day.

After you hit a tree you must hug it or it will bring you 7 years bad luck.

I like this one, will try to get my group to start doing it. We have a starting tradition where we say "Two off of one" and that means on the first tee you throw two drives and pick which one you want to use. The thought being starting off a round with a good first hole will help you inmprove your round.

The guy who showed me the ropes was a big advocate of 2 off of 1.

What ropes? I've never seen any ropes at the courses.

 

[Legend KILLer]

When putting I have the tendency to wait til I feel inner peace and complete stillness before I shoot. I think I'll be cutting the 30 second rule quite often.

She was a kinky player.

 

[swellerdiscgolf]

I also need to keep my discs together / separated....all drivers in one slot, all mids in another, all rarely used in the last slot, putter in its side pocket. And all the discs facing the same way...rim side toward putter pocket.

I can't think of anything else, but I'm sure I'll have some eventually. I did have one when I bowled where I wiped my throwing hand on my pants before starting my approach, but I think these are more rituals than superstitions.

Ohhhhh!
