Just for conversation, It can happen any place but when it does, usually for me its in the tee box. I have seen and heard many do this many times. Every so often you may set up to address and you feel like something isnt right. Perhaps your too far from the ball, or too close, or your feet/legs dont feel like in the correct place. In other words whatever it is, you know it aint right, your not comfy and you know it. You should pull away and reset but you swing anyway as if its gonna be OK.
Its rare that you may get lucky and have a so called "good miss" but not usually. Usually you end up with a bad shot and you say to yourself and maybe outloud to your mates - " I knew it, I should backed off and reset".
Perhaps you dont want to take up time or perhaps you just think you can correct it while your swinging, or whatever the reasons, you basically lose a stroke or more depending on where the ball ended up. All ya had to do was reset but something inside just says "Naa , I'm here, swing anyway"
Is it pacience?, stubborness? ,not caring enough? You certainly wish you didnt do it. Then it may possibly happen again at some point later in the round or even a week later in another round. You remember the last time it happened and knowing you did it and the bad result but you still stubbornly manage to swing anyway like as if again it will be Ok and its not.
Its almost a bit humorous but its really not cause it costs strokes. It doesnt really get me angry but you just kinda want to knock yourself one for being stupid. Does it happen to you? I'm sure it happens to many, but do you reset? or sometimes still stubbornly swing anyway? And then wish you didint?
