Hot take:
When people ask what par is on a hole before announcing their score is a tell and they aren’t actually counting their strokes

You know its bad when you have to take off your shoes to finish counting…

When the “just put me down for bogey” hits

I got a double bogey because the pattern’s so complicated.

Scorekeeper: “What did you shoot there?”
Golfer: “was that a par 4 or 5?”
Scorekeeper: 🤨

I think it’s funny watching people count their strokes. Just work backwards not forward. it’s also the easiest way to catch mistakes/lies. “I got a bogey.” “Well. you 3 putted and had a chip so no you didn’t.” 3 putt + 3 to green = double if we’re not missing any real bad shots in-between. Basically putts plus GIR +/- is all you need. If it’s harder than that it better be triple plus.

That one shot was three shots?!

When I started out I had a small counter clipped on my hat. As I got better it’s easier to count my strikes without an aid.

My memory for strokes improved dramatically once I started thinking about how many strokes I’m laying, instead of where my next shot leaves me strokes-wise.

Usually when I get asked the question “Hey what did you end up with on that hole?”
– I mean I was somehow laying 4 before I saw the Fing Fairway!!!! So than the sand was 5 (as I notice my friend laughing and I grab the scorecard)
“Hahahahaha”
-I mean I’m more surprised that you can count to 12 (laughing) give me a beer!

My oldest brother stands on the green, after he puts in & counts his strokes by pointing to the places he hit from.

Just count your beers and multiply by 3 to 4, easiest way to keep score.

I get my golf shirts at Dan Flashes because they have really complicated patterns that throw off the games of my party.

I can count and picture every shot I make for probably a month after I play golf, even with multiple rounds played in that month. How someone can’t count their strokes on a hole is beyond me.
