When people find out I golf they always brag about how good they are. 90% of the time they are 5-10 strokes worse.

Why not just say about 100 and surprise everyone

I laugh but why not just let your game speak for itself

[1fairway2another]

never off the course. On the course i have been known to pimp walk around when i hole out from off the green or do something crazy.

That's a given. You hole out and you can prime time it all you want. You earned it

I think often times people brag as an attem

[saltrunner]

Often times people want you to know they are serious about golf or letting you know they love it ..  Not just in golf but in life we often think we are better than we really are or better than our past results have shown .. Often times this comes across as bragging ..

[Sean2]

No. Just not into it. On or off the course.

I love golf as well. I lean on underselling

I'm a very low handicap golfer, self made millionaire, corporate titan, and I enjoy yachting, combat shooting and ice climbing on the weekends when I'm not at one of my exclusive private country clubs that you couldn't afford, and even if you could they still wouldn't let you in.

So in conclusion, my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and their life is better than yours, damn right, it's better than yours, I could teach you but I'd have to charge.

Did Pepperturbo hijack your account?

[justasgood]

Nope, it is poor form.

BTW, I had an Ace yesterday. 126 yrd par 3 with my Volkey 51*. (yes really)

This is the most annoying thing about golf for me. I could literally moan all day

My girlfriend works in a pro shop so I see a lot of people come in and out and talk to her about their round. You'd think they were all tiger woods the way they go on. I work very hard on my game and practice hard everyday. I'd never If someone asked me if I was any good say yeah I'm a good golfer. I'm a 15 hcap for f##k sake. I find the people that are all talk are the ones that can't break 100. I've never met a scratch golfer who would go on about how good they are. I actually avoid my club on the weekends as weekend warriors frustrate me so much. They say 'yeah I can hit a ball' then shank 20 in a row on the range.

The empty can rattles the loudest.


Arrrrrrrrrr!!

And breath

Line up all the golfers who have NEVER, EVER bragged once in their lives, regardless of handicap, and you couldn't make a foursome.

Some are just worse than others.

OMG, I love reading your posts! By the way what is your hdcp at Augusta National?

[Kadin 25]

Meh, no bragging here. When I meet someone who is a "self proclaimed good golfer" I smile nicely nod my head and let them say their peace. I have found that this is a good approach in avoiding the "good" golfer from pulling out his tour issue tape measure to see who has a bigger club.

That's nothing. My family owns the patent on water. Yup H2 effing O.

Oprah does my laundry. Michael Jordan cuts my grass. You know how frivolous I am? I drive my hummer to the end of my driveway just to get the mail, and thats all i use it for.

I got 6 stock brokers, 14 doctors, 2 lawyers, 17 accountants, and 8 other lawyers to watch the first 2 lawyers. You know how rich I am? You know how much credit I got? I threw away all my platinum cards and I got a uranium card.

I drive a rolls royce pickup truck. I got the penthouse with the helicopter pad on the roof and snipers in the other building to make sure no one steals my helicopter.

Donald trump delivers my newspaper in the morning and I dont even tip him.

You forgot to mention your special ops training, master martial arts skills, several PHD's, your fine collection of Cuban cigars, and of course your hot wife who is the envy of all men..... but why start bragging now?

[Vindog]

I brag....about things I'm really good at.

Golf is NOT one of them.  I brag about how much fun I have at it maybe...most people like to play with me, I think.

[Waterboy]

Not about my golf game, but about the things the chicks dig:

My calculus skills
My nun chuck skills
My cross stiching skills
My ability to make the sickest pb and j sammich in the 7 collar counties

So I guess I do brag.

I try not to so I can avoid jinxing myself. However, there are times when I get one of my 3 GIRs per round when I will offer an autograph to my playing partners.

Full bottles are quiet , it's the empty bottles that make all the noise.

[MtlJeff]

Brag, no....answer questions honestly, yes

Just as annoying as bragging is the guy who is a +2 and says he isn't good. Just so someone will chime in and say "what are you talking about, you're awesome!"

That is the proxy brag. I hate braggers by proxy just as much as braggers

If someone asks me if i am good at golf, i'll tell them yes. That is not bragging
