Thanks for all of you who gave me your favorite golf superstitions. Your
input will help make my next article more full.

Any more golf superstitions?

Also, what do you get out of following certain superstitions and rituals?
Thanks for the input.

I bet the next person that has to hit out of that bunker really appreciates
your stupidstition. Why not put them in your bag so they don't hinder other
people? That would be some of my luck. Plug a ball in the bunker with one
of your damn pennies setting in the way. What about it guys should we get
the USGA to adopt a new rule saying you can remove one of Jeff's pennies or
just mug him in the parking and make sure he doesn't make it to the first
tee with pennies in his pocket.

I think the Penny is an obstruction, not an impediment, so you can move
Jeff's stupid Penny anyway. Of course, this doen't really excuse this
ignorant practice.

Please stop this practice. You should never leave your trash on the
course. Find somewhere else to leave your damn pennies.

I start every round with 2 dimes in my right front pocket and 3 tees
in my back right pocket.

Hmmm......I'll definately admit it's not the brightest thing to do,
HOWEVER, I don't throw handfulls of coins in every bunker I pass. Alot of
times I don't even have pennies in my pockets at all (I hate the
buggers!!). If I happen to have one....I'll toss it in the nearest
bunker....that's it. Jeez...I never really thought to much about other
people hitting my stupid pennies out of the bunker. I shall stop this
practice RIGHT NOW!. Now can any of you golfing "saints" suggest a
replacement?

Hi, Jeff...you want to get rid of those pennies and keep your (perfectly rational, if your ask me) superstition intact? Chuck those
pennies into a jar in your locker at the club. When you get enough of 'em, take 'em to the bank and ask them to roll them for you and
donate them to Planned Parenthood (my personal choice). The golf god will smile upon you for your good deed and those
dumb bounces will bounce smart and those lipped putts will drop. Trust me on this.

Jeff, how about throwing them into a water hazard. Oh, by the way, don't
forget to make a wish.
