What's your favorite golf saying?

[GullLakeMi]

I usually say these about myself.

1. You are missing much closer now!
2. I think you have a problem with LOFT - lack of f'n talent!
3. That was a mother-in-law shot - I'm glad it's leaving, little fat and not going far enough away.
4. Same guy! (after a brilliant/terrible or terrible/brilliant shot combo)

[SnowbirdTom]

Second guy shoulda hit the first shot. (on #3 from the tee that splits the fairway)

[McMunch]

After taking 2 swings to get out of the sand- "That's a Hitler- 2 shots in the bunker"

 

After landing a forced carry over water- "That ball is dry like grand dad's scalp.."

 

After hitting a skull/ bad shot that somehow still finds the green- "That's a sister in law shot- you're on it but you shouldn't be.."

[Robert L.]

Every time I or my playing partner makes a decent shot, and it doesn't have to be all that good, I always say "That'll play!".

[signats]

Swing HARD!.........in case you actually hit it this time.

[Jraallen]

“Just don’t hit it in the water and you’ll be fine”

 

and 

 

“what’d you get?”

“a 5..ish”

[dan360]

I say 'oh no' a lot out there...

[st1800e]

It looked good in the air! 

[madeonecut]

Your playing partner(s) roll their first putt up about 3’ away. “ is this good”?  I always say “ I don’t know pick it up and taste it”

One i’d never heard that a buddy just said the other day…

 

That was a Wisconsin Stripper. A little chunky but she’s still dancing!

Creative!

[Llortamaisey]

When a player hits it close on a par 3 and his partner puts it inside him, we call that a Diddy. If he doesn’t, that’s a Meek Mill

[Swingem]

Probably my most used is "keep choppin".

 

Funny one I got from a caddie at Bandon, after leaving my first and second putts woefully short..."yer sneakin up on it".

[elwhippy]

One from our old secretary. Will I get there with a five iron Donald? Eventually.....

[596]

When my playing partner skulls one 120 yards and never leaves the ground..... "Nice putt" 

 

When my playing partner hits a nice shot... "What did you slip?" 

 

When I drive well past his tee shot...."Heard there's a new Walmart coming to town. Between my ball and yours".

 

This goes on for 18 holes!!   Goes both ways!  

[st1800e]

Match play, player A has a shortish putt for birdie, 3 putts.Player B chips in for par.

 

”Reversal of Fortune” 

[eddiebigeddie]

Several I've said or heard over the years...

I play with Homer Simpson alot..."DOH"

When a playing partner leaves a Putt Short..."Does your husband Play too?"

"Thats a Fairway...not yours, but its a fairway" LOL

 

Funniest one I heard a buddy say last year & now we say it all the time...Not PG (lipped putt)..."She had it in her mouth, then the kids walked in" 😉

[Texasaggie2016]

"Nice lag putt" as I proceed to leave a 4 footer short...

[Mych]

I like sprinkling in song or movie quotes.

 

Shank one and hit a house... "From the windoooooows... to the walllllls..."

Hit one that sails way OB... "I believe I can fly"

Hit one super fat and take a big divot... "Caaaaan youuuuu digggg it......" 

OB or Water ball... "Another one bites the dust"

 

Lots of others, they just kinda pop up in the moment.

I have honors...again. 

 

TKOD, The kiss of death 

Example: bird on first hole

 

You can't handle prosperity.

Example: OB drive following a bird on previous hole

 

You look great in men's clothing. 

 

 

 

For us when someone gets a birdie it gives them the opportunity to try to avoid the PBFU. 

 

The "post-birdie $^@% up"...

 

As in, my previous round I putted in from off the green for a birdie, and on the next hole (a short par 4) I hit a beautiful drive. Thought I'd avoided the PBFU until it took me 5 more strokes to get into the hole from ~60 yards.

Redemption awaits, when followed by the PFUB.

Today I heard a guy say the ball sat right down like an old dog next to the fireplace.

[hankj]

So many artfully turned phrases in golf.  Probably because of its long time popularity in English speaking places gifted in language.  

 

"A good walk spoiled" might be the most famous

[Rocky Ball-boa]

"You're on the dance floor, but nowhere near the DJ" if you're on the green, but far from the pin.

 

"Oh, look, my Thai friend - Pin Hai", when you land it, well, pin high.

 

"Dead sheep" (Still Ewe) when you miss a putt and are still outside your playing partner's

Figured the You Tube vid gave it away...

 

You hit a nice drive... next guy hits a Linda Ronstadt...

 

Blue by you...

 

or guy hits a nice drive and then you hit a Linda Ronstadt.  Blew by you (him).
