The best cheat is to have a high handicap and get extra strokes....

[@johnnypenso9574]

I'm not sure I've ever seen any of these. The ones I encounter most often are: 1. The three most popular I see are not counting all their strokes when the numbers get pretty high thinking I won't notice. Some golfers seem to have trouble getting above the number 5 sometimes. 2. Improving your lie in the rough. 3. Not counting the missed 2 footer.

[@joeylawn36111]

"You can improve your lie in the rough if you can roughly prove you're not lying" 😉😀

[@rdj3video]

“Rough” is subjective so sometimes I self impose “ground under repair” when it’s ball plugged in the mud or an area where it’s just dirt because the local muni course is too cheap to take the greens fees and invest in making that dark brown area green. I’m more accepting of mulligan off the tee (It’s a $500+ dollar driver so that crap shot never happened) than misremembering the missed “gimme” putt to where a golfer never has to own up to a 5 on a par 3.

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

Lol...my pop used to tell me he shot in the low 80's with his buddies. I thought he could play. Until we started playing and he revealed that they never counted gimmies. He thought if they give it to ya it's close enough don't worry about adding that in.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm never getting paid to play this game. If someone wants to hit off a lifesaver, or smear junk on their club, or throw a ball into the fairway instead of playing where it lies....

[@PipeScholar]

[@ricardofmartinez8693]

🤣🤣 well said

[@23dml]

Let me add to the ways people cheat.. Had a guy at our club cheat in this crazy way, that was kind of genius... except for the fact it's cheating.. He would walk up to the green as everyone is and just pick up his ball and not mark it.. he would kind of pretend mark it.. Then when everyone was marking theirs or chipping on, he would throw a penny towards the hole. Obviously he was secretive about it, but when we all would go to putt we would say where are you at? He would say oh right there.. A penny is not a great visual marker. When I started catching on is when we would hit our approach shots in and I knew I was inside his shot, and then all of a sudden he was closer to the hole.. Sometimes it would be 5-10 ft closer. His handicap went down fast. I finally told a playing partner one day and we all had caddies that busted him in a tournament.... CRAZY!!

[@terrythomas790]

And now hes handicapped

[@dawhoda1]

Damn you guys fell for a rotten one 😂

[@jabukufo]

I got called out for the ball-marking one once... I wasn't trying to get an advantage, it was a 30 foot putt, didn't expect to make it whether it was an inch forward or back, I was just laying it down close, because who cares. After getting called out I kicked the ball backwards a foot or so, then sunk the putt lol.

[@sludge8506]

Sure you did, champ.

[@rushintl1]

I used the Chapstick on the driver face and drove the fringe on a par 4 with wind behind my back. I promptly 3 putted.

[@andya2665]

I golfed with a guy once that used line up sticks for every shot. At first I was kinda mad but then I started feeling sorry for him so I let him because he was playing really bad. When it was over the guy said he shot a 70. Lets just say i had a good laugh when i got back to my car.

Garrett Rose or bogey when they had double bogey. A cheat doing that 3 or 4 times in the round can take mid to high 80-90 score to a low 80-90 score, big difference.

[@cliffhregis]

Thanks! You're a lifesaver!

[@deakdeagen938]

Please. While the things you mentioned are against the rules, the average golfer would not receive any significant advantage doing any of these things. Sure, they may move the ball two inches closer to the cup for their putt or may gain an extra five yards on their drive by using chap stick or a lifesaver but over an entire round, I bet these things would not make more than a 2-3 stroke difference, at best. Probably less for most folks.

[@BSPotter]

sounds like you are trying to justify cheating. 2 to 3 strokes is alot

[@kyleweir689]

Bryan Potter no, hes saying that people doing this to gain an advantage make themselves look like a jackass, because it's not going to actually give them much advantage. What's another couple inches on a putt to a high handicapper? What's another 5 yards on a drive to a high handicapper? Their handicap is high for a reason..

[@deakdeagen938]

Yup. That's exactly what I was saying. Evidently, Bryan is not very familiar with the game of golf. And, no Brian, 2-3 stokes is not a lot.........to a high handicapper, their score ends up being 102 instead of 105. A mid-handicapper, an 81 instead of an 83. To a low cap/pro, maybe, but most (if not all) would not stoop to these silly tactics.

[@kyleweir689]

x Boochie I can see a mid handicapper being advantaged with their mates, but most mid handicappers aren't going to need to stoop to this... Ya this other guy doesn't know a thing about golf and scoring lol

[@golfingandfishingmylifeawa978]

Bryan Potter is right... 2-3 strokes is a lot to any player, especially in competition. A 103 compared to a 101 doesn’t sound like a huge deal but that could be the difference between a net 73 and net 71 for a high handicapper playing in a handicapped event... I bet their opponent would really think it’s a big deal if they played by all of the rules and shot a net 72.. With that said... the only infraction in this video that I actually see happen fairly often is the ball marking. The real top 3 cheaters to look out for are 3) those who can hit into the deepest of woods and never lose a ball. I’ve played with some real magicians who can turn a brand new white ProV1 into an old yellow Callaway then make par with it. 2) the players that just flat out lie about their score - did you think we didn’t see that fluffed chip? 1) The sand baggers... it’s amazing how many 12-14 handicappers I know that can shoot 73-75 every time there is some money on the line.

[@vinnyd6346]

jason lovering don't hit a ball that you are not 100 percent sure is yours. its absolutely ok to pickup a ball to identify it so long as you're announcing your intent. but even without all the rules, you don't feel embarrassed for hitting someone else's ball?

[@BeachBow]

You're playing with the wrong caliber of golfer! LOL! I've seen the ball marker trick. One of my favorites is moving your mark out of someone's line and failing to move it back. Mostly that's just a mistake, but I have called a couple of guys on it. As long as there's not $$ on the line, I really don't care what they do. But when there's a bet, I watch like a hawk.

[@jacobjarvis8403]

Thanks for the tips

[@jonlanier_]

Well, those are interesting. But the number one (#1) way of cheating is, always keeping a clean unhit ball in your pocket. When you pick up your ball from the green, switch the clean unhit ball for the ball you are about to putt.

[@jacksonnierode1848]

this isnt cheating in highschool, you just have to call the ball

[@definitelynotlebronjames443]

When I’m playing for fun with my dad or the Sunday afternoon round I’ll do the lifesaver trick out of the rough or long second shots just for a laugh, but all tournaments I compete in i would never. Cheating takes the fun out of the game because the goal is to beat yourself, if you cheat then your cheating yourself in the long run.

[@frankpalancio8471]

Thanks for the chapstick tip..I'll try that next time

[@DareToShine]

The lifesaver trick had me dying. Might try this out just for kicks.

[@Zerpersande]

I play on a Public course in Japan and ball marks abound. If I have a long putt, and there is a ball mark or cleat mark right in front of my ball, I’ll move it right or left to avoid the mark rather than spend time repairing it. Don’t get me wrong, I repair marks. I have a greenskeeper size Spider Divot tool on a golf shaft. I’ll repair 10-15 ball marks sometimes. But there are times when I’m more focused on putting.

[@Branner1968]

I've seen a great variation of the marked ball cheat. My playing partner caught our opponents partner doing it. The guy would approach his ball and then, like a magician, throw his marker ~ 1 foot closer to the hole. He was so good at it I never noticed it. My partner pulled the guys partner aside and had him observe. He then put his arm on his shoulder and said, "So, the question that lies before you is this, do you say something, or do I"?

[@laurencegoulty3196]

I think the biggest cheat is people who just can’t count

[@frankc8916]

Never seen the life saver used as a tee but have seen it used in a similar way to the lip balm.

[@rblogan3]

I was thinking along the more realistic ways people cheat like moving their ball out of a divet on the fairway or "forgetting" about that third shot they took.

Not counting their extra stroke when they hit out of bounds or in a water hazard. Hitting off the "T" for the second time because their first T shot sucked but not counting that first T shot because their second one was better. Moving their ball for a better lie...I could go on and on!!!!! I hate it, but in reality they are only hurting themselves.
