I do. But I've yet to figure out what language it understands.

Of course I do... but it never listens...  I think it's deaf!  :-)

Of course! Doesn't everyone? Although, I usually have to apologize for what I called it. I forget that it is not the ball's fault.

Definitely find myself talking to the ball after hitting approach shots. Funny enough, I don't talk to it much off the tee or on the green. Typically, I don't realize it.

Of course Josh!  Someone has to sweet talk that little ProV1x to just go to it's HOME!

I do, but I tend to talk to myself more often. Where Phil called himself an idiot at the US Open a few years back, I usually give myself a sarcastic, "Nice shot genius". However, unlike my ball, I usually hear it and bad shots start compounding exponentially.

i talk to the ball the ball mark. my putter. my driver. i think i need a caddie so i don't seem like a crazy person. hahahahaha

Only when it starts to fade towards water.  Even then, I know it won't listen as it fades into a slice.  Desperate times, desperate measures.

No, i don't talk to the ball. I just hit it ;)

I've never noticed myself doing it, but apparently I talk to my ball on most shots.  After being told I do, I notice it all the time.  It seems like almost everyone does it.  So how about you?

Do you talk to your ball?

Do you realize you're doing it?

This question has to be one of the best yet. Yeah, I talk to my Pro V1(s). Most of the time, it's during approach shots. Some off of the tee. Sometimes it listens, but then, sometimes, it thinks it's a little funny hiding behind a tree or wanting to go for a swim with the fish. 

I really don't know why I do it though. Good question.

I talk to my ball, yell at my ball, give my ball the silent treatment, anything to get that little white dimpled sphere to go where I want it to go. Usually with little effect. While I continue to talk to my golf ball, I am convinced they do not listen.

I have also been know to talk to my putter, which is a love/hate relationship. I have even locked my putter in a closet for a weekend to discipline him. Believe it or not, this actually worked and he began to make more putts after that.

Of course I talk to my ball, my driver, my hybrids, my irons, my putter. I have putters and wedges that have been banished to the dark basement because they don't behave.

 

I don't talk to the ball and my buddies know I don't like them to talk to it either.   I guess it goes against the idea of letting go of the outcome and just focusing on what you can control. However it is fun to listen to others yell at the ball, most of the time to no avail. Cheers!
