★「OK」と言われても入れようとする人。
ゴルフに対して真面目な人が多いです。
「雨の日は雨の日の練習ができる」
と雨でも決してキャンセルをしません。
★「OK」と言われたら、素直に受け取る人。
一番多いタイプです。
★「OK」と言われたのに、打って外してしまい、
慌てふためく人。
まあ誰にでも経験のあることです。
★「OK」の声が掛かるのをじっと待っている人。
結構多いです。
スコアを気にする上級者の方に多いような気がします。
友人からは
「タイマーの前でじっと終業ベルが鳴るのを待つサラリーマンか」
と言われがちです。
★毎回、「OK?」と積極的に周りに確認、
もしくは、促しをする人。
会社とかのお偉いさんに多い感じがします。
ただ、そういう方は他人にもすぐにOKを出しがちです。
★ボギーパットを打ってちょっと外し、
「OK」と言われて「ボギー」とスコア申告する人。
初心者の方にちょくちょくいらっしゃいます。
稀にそれが正しいと思って
何年も通してきたという豪快な方もいます。
★何も言わず、何も言われないまま、
ボールを勝手に拾い上げ、OKパットだったとしてしまう人。
統計上、10万人に1人います。

この日からですね、ブログを毎日更新していこう
と思い始めたのは。
読む方々のことは知りませんが、私はこのブログを
書くことにより、いろいろ調べたり考えたりします
ので、やってみてよかったなあと思ってます。
Classification of OK putts by opponent: How to put it depends on the opponent
*In Japan, concede is said as OK.
★ People who try to play even if they’re told it’s OK.
Many of these people are serious about golf.
They never cancel even when it’s raining, saying things like, “I can practice on rainy days.”
★ People who accept it without hesitation when they’re told it’s OK.
This is the most common type.
★ People who are told it’s OK, but then they hit the ball and miss, and then they panic.
Well, everyone has been there.
★ People who just wait patiently for it to be said it’s OK.
There are quite a lot of them.
I think it’s more common among advanced players who care about their scores.
My friends tend to say to me,
“Are you like an office worker who sits in front of the timer waiting for the bell to ring to end work?”
★ People who actively check with those around them every time, asking, “Is it OK?”
Or urging them on.
I feel like this is more common among big shots in companies.
However, these people also tend to give others the OK right away.
“OK?”
Your ball isn’t on the green yet.
“OK?”
You missed it and your ball is still on the edge of the green.
“OK?”
That’s why your ball is still the farthest.
★ People who hit a bogey putt, miss it slightly,
and are told it’s OK, and then declare their score as “bogey.”
This happens quite often among beginners.
In rare cases, there are bold people who believe that this is the correct way to putt,
and have been doing it for years.
★ People who don’t say anything or receive any guidance,
and just pick up the ball and call it an OK putt.
Statistically, this happens to one in 100,000 people.

It was from this day that I decided to update my blog every day.
I don’t know about the people who read it, but writing this blog makes me research and think about various things, so I’m glad I tried it.
