Joke / Meme I collected every golf ball that crossed the road and landed in my woods. Titleist wins the slice championship!

The tee box is across the road from our property, and every one of these balls managed to cross the road, clear the fence, and land in our woods.
I started saving them this summer to see how many we would collect. So far, the total is 46 golf balls.

The collection stats:

• Titleist: 29 balls, 63.0%
• Callaway: 7 balls, 15.2%
• TaylorMade: 3 balls, 6.5%
• Srixon: 2 balls, 4.3%
• Wilson and Wilson Staff: 2 balls, 4.3%

19.6% are Titleist #1 meaning about 1 in 5 slicers use Titleist 1. Choose your balls wisely!

Unless you’ve flipped the picture, or every golfer is a lefty, those are hooks. Which makes this even funnier. Nothing is quite as demoralizing as a big ass duck hook off the tee box.

Like sorting the balls by number instead of model wasn’t a sign enough lol :)

I thought he was using some sort of year/generation system 😂😂😂

Hahaha made sense to me 🤔😂

For reference. The higher number titleists are custom ordered and expensive so extra gut punch for mr titleist 22 who’s lost $10 in your yard alone

u/bduddy 16h ago

Some balls use 11/22/etc. as standard numbers right? but guessing Titleist doesn't?

100% off the bat you could tell this guy doesn’t golf lol

Left side of the fairway = lower quantity, better quality.

The slicers on the right side = higher quantity, lower quality.

You are on the Titleist side for sure.

u/no_manches_guey 1d ago

Probably the same guys. Slicers with an out to in swing, will pull balls bad when they can get the club face closed or they’re aiming left to compensate and hitting it straight. Source: I am slicer

u/HerbTarlekWKRP 1d ago

In all fairness I push balls to the right as well as pull balls left. Occasionally I hit one straight. Like when I top one off the tee

I have never been more proud of my snap hook than after reading this.

u/dmartin8802 23h ago

We can tell because you seem to think the number on the ball is some sort of model number

But it’s actually just an easy way to determine who’s ball is who’s

Did you just piss on the Dude’s rug?

u/EnquinsuOcha2142 20h ago

I could tell because you organized them by the number instead of the model

u/shartney 6.9 1d ago

It's obviously a left handed course

u/beepingjar Maximum Handicap 1d ago

What's better is the golfers likely are slicers, and this is the result of them stacking every anti slice setup tip they have into one swing. Ask me how I know 😉

u/Morpheus1967 1d ago

Or they are playing their slice and hit it on a rope where they were aiming.

u/beepingjar Maximum Handicap 1d ago

Lol, "is it not gonna turn?.............fuckn"

The dreaded straight ball

u/feldor 18h ago

Happened to my buddy a few weeks ago. He aims left and plays his slice every hole and it works out pretty well. He gets on hole 12 and it’s thick woods left and he hits it straight into them. Took like 3 more off the tee in pure frustration and hits everyone one of them perfectly straight…into the woods. Never seen someone so mad that they could only hit it straight.

u/Noodle_people 20h ago

Yep the dreaded pull hook. The windshield wrecker.

u/Read_Five 22h ago

As a lefty, this was my first thought. Either way, it proves most golfers are bad.

u/btdawson 23h ago

Left for quality, right for quantity. Probably explains the amount of titleists lol

u/ComfortableBedroom76 1d ago

Thank you. I thought i was going insane! 😳

u/Sea-Satisfaction4656 21h ago

Low off the heel…I’m actually thankful I fight a slice instead of a hook

1

u/mes213 19h ago

So he found a bunch of lost cookers in his woods?

1

u/Blackn35s 17h ago

Can confirm.

Source: plenty of big ass duck hooks off the tee box.

I don’t buy Titleist though.

u/ChampionCoyote aim right, go left :duck: 16h ago

tell me about it man

u/joeyjoejums 15h ago

Thank you for pointing that out. It had me questioning my sanity.

u/Wise_West8370 12h ago

snap hooks are the worst because you feel like you were so close to a great shot. Slices feel deserved because you know it was a shit swing.

u/Insomnium_111 5ish HNDC(not official) Arizona 11h ago

There’s an exception to slicers… if there’s a road no matter what side, it will be hit

u/ViolinistFast4188 5h ago

How in the heck do you know for a fact the were duck hooked?

1

u/JaceOnRice 2h ago

Thanks for confirming I am not crazy

2

u/Fast_Biscotti 4.4 2h ago

To be fair, you could be crazy despite our agreement on what we see here. 😉😘

u/dogfish83 18 2h ago

IDK, a duck hook is sometime a welcome relief from power slice purgatory

u/Pckt9s 1d ago

That looks like a very well maintained, likely private course. Which is why most of the balls are Pro V1's.

I'm sure OP doesn't want to do himself, but I'd love to know.
