Finally a video that will actually help me break 80.
These are great tips! I can probably shave 5 strokes off my 109!
Lol
This guy probably says all this to hide the fact that he actually does cheat!
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Thank you for this VERY educational video.
Hahaha 80. If I get below 100 I think it's a fantastic day
Great tutorial. Just broke 75 for the first time with these tips!
Hahahahaha
Lmao
"Never play with someone who likes the rules of golf more than the game of golf"
@Hoa Tattis relax. Your not on the pga tour
He has the PGA hotline phone number and strokes himself waiting for a pro to break a rule so he can call in and report it.
@Hoa Tattis I'm sure you would love playing with this guy. You don't seem to have a sense of humor whatsoever. Don't be so serious, take the stick out of your ass and enjoy life and don't worry about how other people enjoy the game.
If you play in a tournament then by all means call other people out for cheating, if you are playing for yourself or with a few of your friends who gives a crap what we do on the golf course. I'm not going to care if my buddy foot wedges a ball a foot or 2 to a better lie. I'm not playing against him, I'm playing against myself and the course.
@Hoa Tattis Will you make sure my grooves are legal too? How do I find a groove measuring tool?
@Hoa Tattis Sweet! I also occasionally go over the speed limit too.
average person who sees the title: The Worst Ways People Cheat in Golf and How to Spot Them!
me an intellectual: Easy ways to improve your game by up to 4 strokes!
Why are you just saying things other people said
@@1millionsubscriberswithnov484
I just commented what came into my head dude. I don't know what to tell you. Lol
@@StrengthScholar0 well dont say anything next time
@@1millionsubscriberswithnov484 you seem frustrated. I hope you get through whatever is causing that frustration man. I hope things get better for you.
Have a great day man
@@StrengthScholar0 thanks man you have a great day also
I shave 8 shots off of my round by skipping one par 3... sneaky!
Sneaky sneaky
Riga Fraction LMAO ! "shave 8 strokes" by skipping a par 3. 🤣😂 This made my day and offered a useful tip.
Only 8 strokes, sure!
Thanks for the tip
Anyone who plants balls the night before is a true champion in my book, he's much smarter then me and deserves to win...
Lmao that’s what I was thinking. If anyone is committed enough to be dropping Easter Eggs the day before a round, they already won.
@@danielrehac4746 ever since I saw this video im constantly accusing my friends of planting balls.. also trying to master the bunker toss... hahaha
Once I heard that I cant believe this video is serious, it has to be comedy
Absolutely, I don't even wanna argue with somebody that committed.
There is nothing like playing 18 with the Easter Bunny.🐇
Wow!! I just bought a new 60 degree today.. You just saved me 90$ brother. I’m taking this thing back tomorrow after learning about the handwedge!
Thats too funny! Really enjoyed your humor.
Learn how to use a pencil wedge and you’ll be shooting in the 60s in no time
Can’t leave the foot wedge out of the bag either
Yeah, the handwedge is about 6753% easier to use than the 60° 😆
I use the last tip you said often!everytime before I play golf I sneak in the course in pitch black middle of the night and hide golf balls all around the course then pretend they're mine during the round. Highly recommend and definitely not a waste of time.
Lol, great comment
In my home course they'd be gone by the time I get there 😆 some little bastard that gets out of bed super early will just take em.
@@BirrDetonator1989 I don't see myself as a bastard. I'm just an opportunist who has almost 6 five gallon buckets filled with free balls.
@@acidwizard6528 two things can be true at the same time 😆
This guy must be a delight to play a round of golf with.
He cannot figure out why nobody wants to play with him
@@rds990
Maybe he should take up bowling instead.
@@steeloned hes seen some guys put extra oil on the neighboring lane so their ball doesn't move as much
I think this is only important if you’re a gambler.... because otherwise, who cares... He’s only lying to himself. This is when playing skins.
I play golf because I enjoy the company of my friends and I don't really give a shit what they do. I wouldn't play with Mr. Conspiracy Theory.
I’ve been a caddy for 6 years now and I can confirm the larger sized ball marker is a big tactic. I’ve seen guys cheat this way to get a better break or a more comfortable putt with thousands of dollars on the line. Kinda crazy how unaware people are of this
I use a guitar pick and give them to people I play with for this exact reason. The pick should always point center of mass and to the hole, the pointed end.
After my third 8 in a row, you're damn right i'm improving my lie.
He made this video with all emotion. It's kind of intense
@@imissvainglory6216 must have just lost a skins game 😂
@@stevesawatsky lol if someone throws the ball that good from a Bunker they should be an actor
Love the “throwing the ball out of the bunker one”. Cracked me up. Sounds fun to do and see how long you can leave the throw before people start to notice.
Im an avid cheater and still shoot 130+ so everyone let's me off
Mdmchannel I’ve played 4 rounds of golf in my life and I’m under 130 lol
The first time I played 18 I was 120 you might want to quit😂
I've played 2 rounds in the last 2 years hit a 108
No one asked and no one cares
I wouldnt .. an ur shooting 130plus an ur cheating ...wtf lol
Cheaters must not believe in Karma, I'm too scared to cheat! I cheated once when I was 12, and I haven't been able to hit a fairway since.
Its called karma
It's called a slice.
more tennis players cheat with abandon than golfers in my experience...
So now the fairway is cheating you!!?
I don’t even touch another man’s driver! I fear that my woman...driver will abandon me right when I need her!
To be fair, fluffing up my shot on a muni course that hasn't been watered in 4 months, I don't feel bad about. When I'm hitting off dirt on the fairway 40% of the time I'm giving myself a fighting chance.
Nah suck it up and play it as it lays. Every golf course on earth has a course record.
@@jackjennings7221 I’m sure he’ll be ok dude
@@jackjennings7221 You must be fun to play with lol.
I mean if you're not playing for money or in a tournament you can use as many foot wedges and mulligans as you want as long as you keep pace. Just an expensive ass driving range at that point.
@@jackjennings7221 aaaand 90% of golfers on public courses never have the intent or skill level to even approach the record. So that point is a stupid one to make. If I pipe my drive down the middle and it comes to rest in some a-hole's divot that he/she didn't fix, I'm moving my ball backwards (not closer to the hole) so I can have a fair shot. I'm not being penalized for hitting the fairway. Same goes for a dirt patch in the fairway or a puddle. F that. Even if I was playing someone for money, I'd allow them to move it a reasonable distance not closer to the hole.
Most often people I’ve seen just miscount strokes- “pretty sure that guy had 4 strokes in the bunker and he ended with a par...”
just remember: if he recounts from a par to a bogey, that's a stroke penalty for improving his lie.
"Hunny I cant figure out why none of the guys want to play golf with me anymore'
"I guess it's because all my friends are cheats with no integrity." If you want to hit every shot perfectly, play Golden Tee. If you want to play golf, play it as it lies. WTF>
YES!
THAT’S what you do about a cheater, you just don’t play with him again... and it doesn’t hurt if you let others know. No need to be specific, just tell ‘me that, if they might be playing with so-and-so, “you might want to keep your eye on him, if you know what I mean”.
Dude, who the hell are you playing with?? Maybe get a new 4 some.
You've never been paired up with random people at the course?
We tried to get a New 4 some but your Mamma and her friends would not leave..
@@silvermediastudio who cares if your random group people cheat? It doesn't affect your score
@@silvermediastudio actually, almost never.
@@Hrybread reading comprehension?
If I paid my greens fee I’ll do what ever the hell I want out there 😂
I get a mulligan for every dollar spent.
A golfer ( say John) joined my club and claimed his handicap was 18.The club secretary did not bother to check, as the club where he had that handicap were not very helpful. Then someone else joined from that club,and he knew John. He was shocked when he learnt that John had claimed to be an18 hcp. because he knew he was a 13 hcp.He 'phoned a few pals to double check and they all said he was a 13 hcp.
Meanwhile John had won a monthly medal and was in the semi-finals of the Summer SIngles. So it's not just on the course that cheats will try and give themselves an advantage.
I think it takes more skill to throw the ball out of the trap than it is to hit it out!
Yah, I'd probably let go of the club and hang onto the ball.
It took practice but I've become quite proficient at the game of throlf.
Exactly! You won't have any backspin if you throw it out. I think only the worst golfers ever would try this one.
Actually seen a lot more guys cheating right in front of me ...taking unplayable by taking stroke and distance ( to make it more believable ) but not recording the penalty...how do they live with themselves??
Nope, after trying this a few times, I have reduced my score by 4 strokes per round. I am ready for the PGA after these tips!
I'm too busy focusing on my game & having fun to worry about "cheating". We're out to drink some beers & chase some golf balls. Who are you playing with & why?🤦♂️🤣
He made this video for pure entertainment why tf you care
This gave me some ideas, I'm going to start doing this. Thanks!
Thanks for the great and informative video...
These tips will surely help improve my game!
I’ve been playing for 25 years, competitively in school...I’ve never heard of any of these. Why do I suddenly feel like I’ve been getting hustled for decades?
jason starek - I see the lie improvement ALL the time. I always call it out, “don’t forget the penalty strokes” or you can admit defeat now.
@@TexasGolfer I used to play with some guys occasionally that always wore cargo pants...and not one of them could hit a ball straight...yet no matter how much they sliced the ball off the tee...they always found in just off the fairway...claiming they got a lucky bounce.
Later...in a tournament...one of the players in the 4 some noticed something suspicious and told the Marshall. It was then that they noticed that his cargo pants looked strange and they found a sleeve sewn into the pants leg with a tab that the player could pull, from his pocket, to drop a new ball whenever he needed to!
@@larryd4352 Wow, incredible, what's the point of playing just to cheat anyway...
@@MrMunchies2x I guess it's because we always played "Skins" and and we all put $20 up and depending on how many people were playing...usually about 15-20 people playing...if you won a skin...you could make $$$$. So, I guess why they decided to cheat.
If you aren't playing for money who cares.
One time my dad and I were playing a round. He ended up in a tall bunker. He hit the top of the bunker three times and the ball kept rolling back. I watch him pick it up and throw it at the green.
I almost pissed myself laughing.
No I didn't call him out on the cheating. We were just out having a good time. :)
Finally - a golf video that actually improves my score!!! Thanks MrShortGame!
Thanks for the tips to improve my game!
My buddies can't seem to do basic math after shanking their way to the hole. Score?....uhhh, that was a par.
Golf is the game where you shout four, hit six, and write five.
Water twice, 3 shots around the green and still par on a par 3 😂 I've got a mate like that
@Truth Well, if it was on a par 3, that would be feasible: one shot to the fairway (score = 1), another one to the water (score += 2 = 3) and the 3 they putted, ending up with 6.
Truth Oops, actually, I forgot to count the green shot. I added two shots for water but none fire the green. Still feasible, given that the relief would be in the middle of the course, so no need to go to the fairway. Though I believe it’d be easier to improve your putts...
I have one friend that can’t count past five.
you gotta watch out for the guy with his hands in his pockets constantly playing with his balls.
Sure don't want to shake hands with him.
Hell, I do that and I don't even golf. Lol!
never play with a guy who golfs and engages in pocket pool at the same time.
I'm a really casual golfer just getting back into things, this video was hilarious, I'll have to start using some of those tricks! But for real, nice video & thanks for sharing!
Learned a bunch in this, will keep my eyes peel now.
4:08 - Patrick Reed 😂
Peter Costas just did an interview in which he called out dear Patrick for serial cheating. He said he isn't alone.
Sand man
@@anguswall9353 I call Patrick Reed "Sand Castles", that's my name for him.
Imagine having the balls to do it on camera, national TV.
Hahaha, that guy, that guy.......... Patrick Reed
I don't like the guys who pick up a 4 or 5 footer as a "gimmee".
During casual rounds, we play inside the putter grip just to speed up play.
Molon Labe u talking about inside the leather of the putter?
Isnt it like the unwritten rule of golf to only have playing partners dictate that?
unless you're playing for money, who could possibly care?- and its got to be a lot of money
or the guy who takes the shot, misses but doesn't count it because it was a "gimmee" anyway...smh
Thanks for the tips and tricks! Lol always trying to get better
Thanks for all these tips it'll really help my game!!!
My friends aren't that bright to do most of these things
😂😂
That's an oversight on your part.
@@steeloned or is it 🤔
imagine actually caring this much lol would not be able to play with this guy
I have actually found some cheater balls on the golf course sucks to be them cause I kept them karma is a u know what doesnt pay to cheat
@@dawgnation4700 no you havent. They're definitely just balls that were shanked and/or lost
New to the golf game. And this was a great video. 👍 Very entertaining. I think a day of lessons from you would be a very enjoyable/memorable experience. We'll done
Im learning so much on how to lower my scores. Thank you
I had a friend of a friend that we used to play with who would always accuse me of cheating because I watch my ball like a hawk. So I had him mark my ball on the first tee and beat him by 15.. How sweet it was
Golfing with certain people sheds a lot of light on their character. I play with people I work with, and if I were to see this kind of behavior, the information it gives me about them is priceless off the course. If I can't trust them at golf, would I trust them with other matters?Honesty and integrity are important characteristics of a person, and if someone is cheating at golf, he or she clearly lacks both. I would rather have a high score and self-respect than a low score and no self-respect.
It's said that Arnold Palmer would always play golf with someone before he would do business with them. Great way to size up a person's character.
I bet you narc on your co workers for taking 5 extra minutes at lunch.
@@santay1991 So you cheat at golf and feel it's okay as long as you don't get caught? I don't care how long coworkers take at lunch as long as they don't lie about it.
Playing for money and playing for fun are two different things. I don't think any less of my golfing buddies if they improve a lie now and then when we don't wager on the outcome. I'd rather score a little lower and enjoy myself than worry so much about all of golf's nit-picky rules
One of the smartest men in business what does that tell you. Most guys are hacks anyways. People hate being called out and the GC is the place to do it in life and in golf! Stop playing with pussys!
Thanks for the tips, gonna try some of these new methods 🤔🤣
That bit about spitting on your club before a chip near a bunker and taking a few practice strokes to get sand on the clubface is something I never would have thought of. I want to try it.
That actually sounds like a crazy form of strategy I never knew was a thing
Heh! The best score improvement tips you've posted by far!
That's given me some great ideas!... Many thanks Matt.
“You gotta watch out for that guy moving the ball in the bunker. Not other guy chucking ball out of the bunker. That guy is a nutball!” 😂
Thanks for the tips MrShortGame Golf. This will help me win some comps.
Great vid, some very helpful tips, that’s gonna help shave some shots off my score....
People not using their true Handicap is the biggest cheat in golf
I was in a club tournament and played to an 18 at the time. Match play and the guy I was paired with told me "I just told them I was a bogey golfer". He ended up shooting -1 after 5 holes. Crushed my spirits. Oh, he did this twice on two different courses (2 course tournament).
Bingo!
manipulating the handicap is just f'ing wrong
Sven Johannson It is all about ego. I could not count the times someone would say they had a single digit handicap on the first tee. And after double bogeying every hole, would have excuse after excuse and say, I have never played this poorly. It’s all about the ego.
Sven Johannson I especially love those vanity handicaps! I’m happy to take your twenty if you think you’re a scratch golfer and don’t break 80.
These are great ideas thanks for the tips
Awesome insights Mr. SG.,😀📣🤩
Guy “ate” life savers while he played. Green in summer, tan in winter. Spit it out, role the ball on top, perfect lie.
Yeah, I've played with that f$#%er. I took his candy out of his bag while he was in the restroom and crunched on about five at once on the next tee. The look of terror/anger in his eyes was awesome.
Obviously not the same guy, but you get it.
What are Life Savers?
@@JeffJefferyUK Life Savers is a type of hard candy that looks a bit like a donut so it works a but like a tee if you put your ball on it
@@locke474 Ah, I see now. They look much like our fruit flavoured Polos (more famous in the mint version) we have in the UK.
Why do i get the feeling this guy has done all of these tricks.
And you forgot the green lifesaver trick.
He has another video with that one and a couple others.
I was waiting for the green life saver 😎
Am I the only person here who's never heard of the lifesaver trick before?
Lime in summer. Butterscotch in winter. 👍
Funny I just posted that before reading comments... dude got DQ'd from the club championship for that one
I have been playing golf for 20 years, played in college, and I have never even knew or thought about the 24 hour night before ball placement. When people cheat I play with, I believe in golf Gods, I end up wiping the floor with them. It comes back to bite them later. Great video.
I know this is from 2 years ago however I loved it so much that I’ve just subscribed. Can’t wait to watch more content. 👍😎🇦🇺
Forgot the classic replay/count after the putt. "1, 2, 3, & this was 4. Par."
Never really watch all your stuff but occasionally watch some but this morning I've been binge watching your channel and have come to the conclusion that you're a really good person so I think I'll watch more
7:28 "...but in the morning when the grass is wet, it's gonna 'dew' it itself..." haha I see what you did there.
Thanks for the tips, I like the Sand trap tip...Perfect for me, I always hit those just before the green 170 yards out!
Have you ever seen the green life saver trick? If you play with a person who “snacks” on life savers beware cause some people put the green one under their ball on the fairway and when they hit it the life savour just looks like grass when it comes up
Genius...I laughed so hard. Pretty creative
That throw out of the bunker... man, I am sooo naive... I had no idea!
I kind of want to try it just to see if I could do it. Looks difficult 😂
Thanks for the tips
No idea how I came across the video. I don't know anything about golf, but you kept me interested in the video 💯
I love the straight forward honesty, "If you can't tell if it is uphill or downhill, You got problems." LMAO
Never knew about most of these. Thanks for the tutorial.
One of my buddies does that. On a par 5 you heard him shooting trees a few times and in the woods the whole time, but finally got to the green and he would yell "par" shot. Also he grounded his club in the bunker to get mostly good shots until recently when we gave him a subtle refresher. Also he rarely lost balls, but rather found most of them. Over a decade of plays he only got beat a half dozen of times. We know how good he is, he never seem to get over his driver the whole time. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
Was on a high school team with a guy who would do some of these at practice when we played our daily 9 holes but we just ignored it. Sad thing is he was one of the better players on the team and didn’t need the extra help and practice rounds were just for bragging rights anyways. I never witnessed him doing any of it in High School Tournaments but we did have a local summer league for ages 17 and under and you had to keep a close eye on him during that and I hear nowadays guys in the regular money matches have to keep a close eye on him around the greens. Again, this is a very talented player who owns the course record with a completely legit 59. Blows my mind.
Who would play with guys like that? Me, I play for fun not money.
actually it is still fun
Watch this tons of times and love the tips! However sorry if someone else mentioned it before....did the flight at the back almost hit you at the 1:59 mark?
Awesome video. I want to try that sandy sand-wedge trick.
I used to hack around in the Summer with a few mates and there was one that took cheating to a new level. He would drive the ball way to the right and miraculously his ball would turn up 30 yards to the left of where he hit it. He would never lose a ball. On one occasion we found his original ball on the way back playing on a parallel hole. We didn't take the game very seriously but he was clearly taking us for mugs. We didn't bother playing much after that. He used to cheat at squash too.
In my experience people who shamelessly cheat like this will be untrustworthy in other aspects of life. The same fella ran his own financial services company for a while and had to close it owing money left right and centre.
Cheating at something as minor as golf means they're cheating at LIFE
Stay far away...
Lol this guy just improved my golf game by like 8 strokes. I’m not ashamed 🤣
Thanks for the ideas bud
I just ordered a Frisbee to use as a ball mark. Thanks for the advice.
I've seen the OB trick of having a speedy cart and be on the way down the fairway before the last guy's ball even lands. The problem was his first ball popped out and he didn't know it before dropping a second and claiming it as his first shot. That was awkward.
I wish you hadn't given me the idea of sanding my iron before chipping around the green.
Honestly the worst thing you could ever do while playing. Have you ever seen a pro play a shot with a dirty club face? If it's not illegal then they would all do it. The reason they don't do it is because it makes contact inconsistent and takes away the grooves from imparting spin on the ball
I don't see how that's cheating nor do I see how it would help either. Lol.
@@andrewcarey3153 wrong, pros fill their groves all the time, not like in this video but fill them with grass during practice swings, its an old school trick that works very well, Arnold and Lee did it all the time to take spin off...
let's see...I think I'll use my hand wedge...
Stephen Henley 😂
Or my F wedge
Love the sand trap toss technique. I will definitely remember that one!:)
Lmao. “I heard it hit a house! Its on the street!”” Hhaha
Are we talking about wagering on golf?..cuz if not..i couldnt care less what someone does to cheat..im there to enjoy the game..if i shoot 106 or 74..i have fun
It's more fun to shoot 74 pal....if you think I'm lying then try it for yourself sometime 👍
I'd rather shoot 106 and be out playing golf then have a productive day at work
you have clearly never come close to shooting a 74, its much more fun (so I've heard) hehehe
OMG!!! One of the best videos you have posted and I’ve seen on TH-cam, I couldn’t stop laughing at the “planting the ball 24hrs before” Oh here I am, wtf I heard it hit a house or a person” OMG I’m in tears
Thank you for teaching me how to be better at golf
Great tips I'm going to take to the course.
Dude I’m definitely gonna use the sand wedge throwing one!! Thanks
This is the kind of guy you “accidentally” run over their ball with a cart. Give him a good foot wedge out of bounds 🤷🏻♂️
🤣🤣🤣
Lol, the good old foot wedge is my favorite club in my bag 😂
why, because he's watching you cheat and ready to call you on it?
@Jeff The pencil wedge is very effective too!
Every course record about to be CRUSHED , thanks to this video!
In the morning when it’s wet, it’s gonna “dew” it itself. Very clever, MrShortGame. Very clever
You just CHANGED MY GAME😎
We all have range finders, but one time we’re playing for money (2 vs 2) and the guy in the other cart shoots the yardage on a par 3. He yells out ,”it’s 175. “, me and my buddy don’t bother to check, we fly the green. i range it from the green to tee box. it was 165. 🔥🔥
He was clever but the mistake way your fault.
Lol!!! I do the same type of thing to my buddy. He tries to gauge his club choice off what I use on par 3’s. So I’ll pull my 9 out, put the head cover in my pocket and then grab the 7 head cover and throw it on the tee box before I hit. The guy has over hit every par 3 for almost 5 months now!!!
motoxguy7 bruh. Don’t use iron covers.
Gavin Johnson i can’t stand listening to them bang together.
motoxguy7 hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I caddied at a country club through all of my teens, I've seen a few of these. The poker chip move is a classic. The taking a practice swing right behind the ball (while facing perpendicular to the shot) in an effort to clear some rough from behind the ball is another one I saw a lot. They pretend they're looking for other people in the foursome but really they're just cheating. Fluffing a ball sitting low in the rough is common. Ground under repair drop, doing it incorrectly or doing it even when it's clearly not or was marked months ago but has since been repaired. LOL There are a bunch.
At my club we use the "ground that SHOULD be under repair" rule (hey, the place is only $300 a year). Cheating? I call it course management.
Oh. I almost forgot. The one I've seen is, using a small unobtrusive marker, when bending over to mark the ball, toss the marker a few feet closer to the pin, and then pick up the ball. Works especially well if you can get to the green ahead of your competitors.
You forgot the guy who always carries a towel with hm on every shot. When in doubt on finding his ball, he hides a replacement in the towel.
I’m not so sure the sand on the club face is clever. One oversized pebble on the club face is more likely to hurt you than help you.
Thanks man!
I don't really play golf I just hit the golf ball outside and have fun but I really do appreciate that you explain it in simple terms and don't go all PGA tour on people that don't know golf
None of this matters until you get into tournament play. The rest of the time they're only cheating themselves.
Seen some of the things you've shown at my local golf course and one I know guys do is they register the wrong score for the games they play and the reason behind it is when they play in tournaments they get place in higher handicap class and beat the guys that actually belong in that class. It's very dishonest of them.
The odds of beating your handicap by more than a few strokes is very high and should be suspect.
Yeah! I know a few SandBaggers like that! I don't really understand their motivation? For me, my goal above all else, is to have the lowest handicap at my course. I'm a 5/6 now and the best is a 4 Hdcp. My goal is to get below that 4! There's 1 particular individual at my course, and he's in the top 10 best, but in league play, he'll always hit 1 or 2 out of bounds on #9, to keep his league hdcp up. I'll take Mr.Shortgames advice next season and get in his head a bit by alluding to the fact that I am on to him.
Steve Lemieux , cheats end up with a handicap they can’t play to.
Yep...in Texas...we call it "sandbagging"....turn in much higher scores than they really shot. Then when the big tournaments come around..these guys who are really 5 or 6 handicappers are playing in the 4th flight...for guys with an 18 and over handicap. Then..they have two of the greatest rounds of their life...so when all the other guys are within 2 to 3 shots of their handicap....they shoot a gross 77....and with their 20 handicap...their net score is a 57. Yeah... it's happened in tournament or two I have played in...and you know they are sandbagging.
@@larryd4352 There are a couple guys that always win the annual best ball tournament at my home course. If one of them hits it close the other mishits it badly and takes a high score. Pads the handicap nicely. But I don't care, I just avoid them. I don't like people cheating.
Just adding their score is difficult for most. "I got a 5." ":Wait wut?"
Great video, laughing out loud!
Iv been playing for 3 years with the same group,some bet £20 a round,iv seen two of them with two balls on the ground claiming one us not there’s,when it has their markings on lol on is off 3 and I see him drop a ball from his pocket and claim he found his ball lol just cheating them selves,I play golf for enjoyment and happy to say I’d rather have a good round that’s fair,when I have a bad round I move on I can’t cheat,your only cheating yourself at the end of the day,good video
