I have to admit, most of those already posted are pretty darned funny ... definitely worthy of stealing and using! Thanks!

Here are the few I use:

Somebody leaves a long lag putt about 8' short: "Boy, there's some pizza left it THAT box!" Alternate: "...some chicken left on THAT bone!"

Somebody blocks one right over the trees and it's still going right when it flies out of site: "I believe you've finally sliced one completely off the PLANET!"

We've always referred to a skulled line-drive iron to a green as a "Dave Winfield," who was known as a line-drive hitter in baseball.

Whenever my brother hits a bad tee-ball, his vocal reaction is: "Crap! I think I just broke my driver!"

My home course has a lot of 'naturalized area' with very tall grass. We call the stuff "happy grass," because when you're in it you ain't HAPPY!!! Usually you come out with 2 balls, neither of which is your ball!

He's playing "Zipper Golf." One left, one right ... all the way to the green.

Dropping a 10 footer for a double is: Putting lipstick on a pig!

Heard a new one this morning. A guy in my group had a chip from just off the green and chunked it a few feet. One of the other players quipped "Loft!" The player looked at him bewildered and asked what that meant. He says L-O-F-T, Lack Of Fu@#ing Talent. We got a kick out of that one.

"Same guy, just a little bit older."

This is used when someone hits a tee shot O.B, then re-tees and proceeds to stripe one down the middle. Meaning- he's a little older (read: wiser) and therefore hit a better shot. Always thought that one was clever.

Good stuff!

New to the board and enjoying the content.

We use one that I expected to see here. For a putt left short, "put another quarter in your purse"...(or a couple of quarters as needed).

  • 2 years later...
A golf partner of mine who's a police officer and has some anger issues, puts the ball in the water EVERY time at one certain hole. It's going to happen regardless of his tee shot, 100 yd approach, 60 yd doesn't matter. He will continue to drop at that spot and attempt to put one on the green. So now as soon as the ball is in the air and heading towards the kiddie pool I go ahead and say, "Take the drop Roy." He will hit at times 6 balls to make it over. That has to be a mental thing on that hole, he is at least a 10 hdcp.

    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
