“Crazy” can be a wide range of things... a superstition, a routine, a practice method... anything that’d you’d tell a non-golfer that’d make them think “that’s pretty out there” because they just wouldn’t get it. We all have them - let’s hear ‘em!
Mine is I keep small areas of my back yard at different lengths to practice hitting wedges out of different lies and lengths of grass. My yard is Bermuda, so I keep one small area lush and longer to hit out of the thick stuff, and another really short to hit off of a tight lie, then the rest at a normal length for regular shots. My friend, who is a non-golfer and a landscape architect, thinks it’s ridiculous and drives him crazy when he comes over, and I love it. As long as my wife is cool with it, then not stopping it anytime soon! As I’m sitting here typing this on my patio watching my 21 month old son run around and hit golf balls, I just looked at the corner of my yard and thought “hmm, my tight lie area is looking a bit shaggy, better shorten that down soon..”
Runner up: if I hit two bad tee shots in a row using the same tee, I’ll throw that tee out and use a fresh one on the next hole. No idea why, have done it for as long as I can remember.
