There are different variations of this that aren\u2019t too bad and are fine to let slide. If you really want to cheat on the greens (or watch for someone else cheating) then here\u2019s what you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #1:<\/strong>&nbsp;Mark your ball by putting the ball marker in front. Most people will put the marker behind the ball but if you see someone marking their ball from the front then there\u2019s probably something up. You should be using a bigger ball marker to get the best results out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #2:<\/strong>&nbsp;Pick up your ball and clean it off. Everything is pretty normal up until this point and there\u2019s been no cheating. Once your ball is nice and clean you\u2019ll want to place it back in front of the marker. You\u2019re now an inch or so closer to the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #3:<\/strong>&nbsp;This is where you\u2019ll want to take another read of the green. Mark your ball again by placing the marker in front of your ball. Pick your ball up again and give it a cleaning. Place it back in front of the ball. You\u2019re now 2 inches closer to the pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chapsticking The Driver<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve probably seen in baseball where the pitcher will have some sort of gel on their fingers to help them grip the ball better. The same thing can happen in golf. Using something like chapstick on your clubface will actually reduce a lot of the spin. When you have less spin you\u2019ll have fewer hooks and slices. Here\u2019s how you can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #1:<\/strong>&nbsp;Put a bunch of chapstick on your lips. It might look a bit weird if you\u2019re rubbing chapstick on your fingers so you\u2019ll need to make it look as natural as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #2:<\/strong>&nbsp;Rub your finger over your lips and put some of that chapstick on your clubface. It\u2019ll help you hit a straighter shot and is a pretty sneaky way of cheating, Try it for yourself or watch for one of your buddies doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Life Saver Tee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The final thing you can do, and this one is pretty slick, is using a green Life Saver (the circular candy) to tee your ball up in the fairway. If you\u2019re on a Par 5 and you want to get there in two then having your ball on a tee will give you a better chance of getting there. The candy is green so nobody will be able to see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #1:<\/strong>&nbsp;Take the green Life Saver out and drop it on the ground. It\u2019ll look kinda funny if you try to set something down so make it look as natural as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #2:<\/strong>&nbsp;Pretend you\u2019re picking up twigs around your ball and cleaning some mud off. This is completely fine to do and nobody will suspect a thing. Quickly nudge your ball so it sits on the Life Saver. Stand over the ball and take your swing as usual. It\u2019ll be slightly elevated and much easier to hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it. These are some of the more unique ways I\u2019ve seen or heard someone cheating. I\u2019m not telling you to cheat but if you have someone who\u2019s always dishonest on the course then you\u2019ll have to even out the playing field a bit. If you\u2019re not a cheat then just keep an eye out for someone trying to pull one of these tricks out of the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me know your thoughts and any questions you have.
