I need an official ruling on breakfast balls

Breakfast balls are valid if you shoot over 80 consistently

Which i do 🤣

I'm with you, extremely valid. We ain't on tour out here

I’m a 4 handicap and me and all my buddies consistently take breakfast balls on the first hole. There’s no asterisk if you take one either, it’s just normal. You were 100% in the right Nicky

You can do whatever you want. But if you do take a breakfast ball or two, and a favorable drop, it’s not good form to brag about what you shot.

I don’t think that 100% of the time people use breakfast balls, but using one doesn’t completely invalidate the entire round. Agree with other comment that it should be if you have no warmup A random mulligan on hole 8 bc you hit a shit drive absolutely is very bad taste and not something any golfer should do It’s not a habit I would get into but absolutley no beef you still had a great round

It's super simple if you're able to warm up and hit the range no breakfast ball if you're basically starting the round cold straight after work or out the car yeah breakfast ball

If you don’t keep a handicap who cares. If you do, then every stroke counts. This my first year keeping an official GHIN but I’m a 7.5

I don’t keep a handicap. Closet i come to that is posting my scorecard whether i play good or bad

Soon you’ll get to the point where you’re breaking 90 then 85 then 80 and then it’s worth it. Seeing those points shave off the hdcp is a helluva feeling. Keep it up Brodie

Do what you want on the golf course with your ball in a non competition format. So much focus on the stupid things instead of the things that impact everyone like etiquette and pace of play.

Two off the first always. Unless it’s a $ match.

Breakfast balls are fine if you’re not showing off your scores or pretending your score is accurate for clout.

Bahahahaha you got caught 🤣🤣🤣 knew this was coming. You didn’t hit a breakfast ball that shitty and shoot an 85 in your third ever round. Sorry man

+1 handicap, breakfast balls for all, if you don’t use it, then you have a travelers, make golf fun

No range before = Breakfast ball Pros spends hours warming up. We should be allowed one swing after hopping out the car 5 minutes before tee time

If there’s a range and you hit the range then no breakfast ball, if not then you get a breakfast ball.

You can take a breakfast ball buddy, but don’t go on social media and brag about making a birdie on said breakfast ball. That is the issue here

Did you hit the range prior to the round. Breakfast ball is legit if you are basically going car to tee but if you did some range work beforehand you can’t use the breakfast ball

If you’re posting a “come play 3 holes with me” type shit and you’re marking down a birdie and not addressing the breakfast ball at all, I think that’s crazy. Cause you are 100% trying to make yourself look better than you are. Put it in the video, put a note with *, something

Rarely do it myself, but I always make sure my friends know it’s an option. Rounds of golf cost too much for anyone to start the round with a shitty shot. Worth mentioning that we are casuals and don’t hit the range before either

If you don’t let your boys hit a breakfast ball in a causal round then I hope we never play a round together

If it’s stated and everyone in the game gets one….bet. If you take one and no one knows, no good. I love the ole Bteakfast Ball, shit I love a lunch ball. DM for details on the lunch ball💯

Range first = No breakfast ball No range time = breakfast ball

A breakfast ball is simply restarting the round

3 things, pussy. 1) don’t use breakfast balls. They’re not gonna make you better 2) if you do feel the need to hit a “breakfast ball,” you’re hitting 3 and a provisional. 3) don’t be a bitch and play your first ball. I’ve birdied several times after topping on off the tee.

Breakfast ball is only okay on the 1st hole tee box. I treat it as I hit a bad shot so I’m quitting this round, but now I’m going to start over. Any other time during the round is just cheating with a mulligan

Not as many people take breakfast balls as you think. If you break 90 from 6500 you should stop taking breakfast balls. It’s up to you though. You’re the one playing and posting. Did it really feel like a birdie?

Our rule is “if you take a breakfast ball, then you must play the breakfast ball no matter what” so even if your breakfast ball is worse than the initial tee shot you must play it. Makes people way happier with their first tee shot and most don’t take a breakfast ball.

Only narcs don’t do breakfast balls on hole one. You’re in the clear. Birdie ✅

Breakfast ball first hole Front and back 9 mulligan Golf is for vibes

The rule is: no warm up at the range before, breakfast ball. Warm up before the round, no breakfast ball

Breakfast balls are fine if everyone’s honest about it. Most people are just trying to relax and have a good round, not qualify for the U.S. Open.

Our group the rule is you get two off the first, but can defer to the second nine (hole 10) if you want to play your first ball.

as long as you aren’t playing for $, nothing wrong with a breakfast ball off 1 tee. i wouldn’t even be mad if you put that score in your ghin app because you are only fucking yourself over by pushing your handicap lower than it is.

We all suck at golf. Gotta have breakfast balls

It would’ve been better content if you included it, announced it as breakfast ball and restarted imho. The worst golf creators lie about how good they are and this is borderline doing that. I’d prefer to see you go thru the growing pains of golf

Golf Hardos will tell you it’s cheating , but this is America . And in America if you hit a bad tee shot on hole 1, you get a goddamn breakfast ball .

“Some dude caught me fucking up and taking a stroke penalty but I went ahead and shot an 86 but I actually didn’t shoot an 86, but then posted it like I didn’t take a breakfast ball, but I did”
