Lanto Griffin is superstitious when it comes to golf balls.
The 31-year-old pro recently took No. 5 golf balls out of his rotation and it’s paid off. Here’s why.
“I’m superstitious in the fact that if a golf ball number, if it’s working for me, I run with it,” Griffin said in the latest edition of Quick Hits. “So fives and sevens lasted for a while this year and then I ran out of sevens so I had to use a six. I think I wasn’t playing that great so I threw some sixes in and I think I shot 5 or 6 under so then now the last two weeks I’ve been using No. 6 ball instead of No. 5. So five came out of the rotation.”
But it’s not just golf balls.
Griffin, who won his first PGA Tour event at the Houston Open in October, is also superstitious about shoes.
“If I play well with a certain type of shoe, I’ll run with it for a while and if I have a couple bad rounds, they come out immediately and I’ll have a new style.”
In the latest edition of Quick Hits, Griffin also reveals what he’d be doing if he wasn’t a professional golfer and his favorite club in his bag.
