Its all up to me now so I need excuses

[leftylucas]

OK, so I have researched the best shafts and driver heads, sought out the best irons for me, tweaked my wedges and got the elusive putter that gives me a great confidence when standing over it. I searched for the right combination in a ball for spin and distance for my swing speed. I then went to see Don at Artisan and had him check my equipment for lie, loft, length, flex etc... Now what????

I feel ready for the new season and I am heading for central Florida on the 23rd. BUT WAIT, it seems I have eliminated all my excuses for playing mediocre golf. What do I do now!!!! I need excuses that are unrelated to equipment, C'mon guys give me some of your best, my golf buddy will be floored by my vast inventory that you guys give me.

"I lifted my head"

[Indio]

- I play for the love of the game, not to be perfect (like some people)
- I just play for the exercise and hitting it to the left and then to the right gives me more exercise
- you take this game to seriously
- I play better with real (or serious or goood) golfers
- I take on the persona of my FC
- I am playing the way I was taught, was the teacher wrong?
- I don't want to scratch my new equipment
- I was told that my games feeds off my playing partner, if you would start playing better it would help elevate my game
- I play better with leisure golfers

Just a few that came to mind

[Gropper]

"Was that a Camera Click in my backswing?"

[Skiddlydidly]

[jeffc]

the ball doesn't fly as far at sea level

[mpare]

It's the damn shoes.

[Kilroy]

Gravity must be stronger in this region.

[LBlack14]

I just suck, plain and simple!

[ironmaster15213]

Try "damn sunspots!!! every time those spots and solar flares start acting up it changes the earths magnetism and I can't keep these irons on line", That's got to be good for a couple of strokes while your opponent is figuring out if your insane or just pulling his leg

[LobWedge]

"It's that time of the month."
"How do they expect me to hit off these fairways? The grass is way too short."
"Fn rental clubs!!"
"No wonder my yardages are all screwed up, I thought we started on the back 9!"
"That breakfast burito's not sittin' so good."
"I forgot my Q-Ray bracelet back at the hotel."
"The sand in these traps is a lot different than the stuff back home."
"I've only ever seen bermuda grass on TV."
"Golf Digest said this dogtrack was worth the trip. I guess they haven't been back here in a while." (save this one for a really nice course)

[jonf]

I prefer the classic "I would have felt bad if I beat you by too much"

[The Saint]

I've had to pee since that last 5 holes
This GPS is not picking up the right satellites
I'm not used to these fairways

[Chieflongtee]

I'll play better when reincarnated. Curling here I come.

[Kilroy]

That's a new tree. Must have planted it last week. (after hitting a 100 foot oak)
They’re paying me to landscape today. (after hacking a bush)
el Nino
Why does the weather have to be so perfect?
That bird distracted me..... well, it's not there anymore. It flew away.
I was hexed by a gypsy.
I’m still recovering from the weekend.


That's the last time I'm showing you how to shank it.

[Baxter]

Damn Grips- I should have regripped these clubs yesterday like I wanted. But no, she had to go shopping....

Do you have a extra glove this one's worn and is slipping.

I forgot to change balls, this one is cut..

Do you have any extra spikes..I lost a few and I'm slipping on my down swing.

[Strangebrew]

- The pin placements are just nasty today
- Think I'm in love with the cart girl... can't get her off my mind
- I've only played this course on my computer
- These slice-proof tees are defective
- Can't stop thinking about the fight I had with my wife
- These pants make me look fat
- These aren't my lucky socks
- The tag on this shirt is digging into my back
- This wind is coming from the east, not the west
- Trying to inflate my handicap for the club tournament
- Playing a round with my boss soon and wanted to practice loosing convincingly
I once played with a guy that complained about the squirrels and chipmunks being too noisy (seriously, wanted to re-putt at one point as they broke his concentration)

Like I used to tell the kids when they were young... "You can want whatever you want..."

Its good to know that you were just as hard on your kids and you are on us kids in here You are a fair man Charlie Brown

[Kilroy]

My other favorite line was from my dad. "If you need to know right now, the answer is no."

Parents of young kids take note... these two lines will save you much grief I assure you. Try them, you'll like them!

That's why they went west

[Kilroy]

She came back , but we are getting off topic no?

[Indio]

She came back , but we are getting off topic no?

They never wander far for long

I don't see it as being off topic, its an excuse for poor golf performances

[BogeyGolf]

crap, I forgot I play Right Handed, not left.

[ScooterB]

Golf? I thought we were playing FLOG, and the higher score wins...

[leftylucas]

I am now well armed to easily justify the worst shots on the course. Some of these excuses are priceless!!
