Some of mine:

1. White tees only - no writing on them.
2. Pro V1's only - no logo's.
3. I won't putt with another ball already in the hole.

What you got?

Don’t touch/move the ball unless it’s on the green.

Sometimes I'll fudge a stroke if I miss a tap in putt or if some obstacles (divot, etc) caused me to miss an easy putt. It'll eat at me for 2-3 holes tho until I eventually go back and score it properly. I'm just too honest I guess.

Also will sometimes bump a ball due to weeds or something in the fairway that shouldn't be there. Then I'll feel bad about it and add a stroke to the hole.

Birdie or par the first hole, "nowhere to go but down now."

Double or worse on the first hole, "can only get better from here."

Everytime.

I also say "well that was bound to happen" whenever I chip one in. Inside joke from a while ago and it stuck. Not really a superstition, more of a compulsion.

Must have at least one beer prior to tee-ing off.

Spare ball in my front right pocket. Must be same brand of ball, but different number.

Also, NO practice stroke on the tee. If I take a practice stroke, I inevitably will lose that ball on the hole.

chapstick...I always have chapstick in my pocket. I don't necessarily use it, I just have it. Brand doesn't matter either.

normally I will have two coins in my pocket, one in each pocket and if I miss an fairly easy putt I will switch to the other pocket/coin for the rest of the round

Cig always hangs out of the left side of my mouth while swinging. I'm right eye dominant.

Always play with #1's or #11's and must have 1 dime and 1 quarter in my pocket for marking. (Dime close to the hole, quarter further away)

A partner putting before me makes par and says so while I’m looking at a putt for birdie. It plants a seed on my mind I can’t get out.

I like one tee only in my right pocket. Nothing else - no spare ball. Divot tool in back right pocket. Mark my ball with a dot to the top right of logo, blue marker is preferred. Head cover stays off the driver until after 18 tee but 3 wood and hybrids stay covered. Prefer broken tees on par 3s vs full tee.
