We've all been there, desperately shouting commands at our wayward, slicing ball heading directly out of bounds... What I want to know is your most used phrase while your golf ball is in flight...

1. When you fear you hit it hard and it will over-fly your prefered landing area
2. When you may have caught it a little fat and you think it will fall short
3. When your ball is hooking sharply out of bounds or towards the water hazard
4. When your ball slices towards a hazard or O.B.


1. Sit! (common, I know )
2. Hustle!
3. *to playing partner* "Give me another ball..." (Lee Trevino "You can talk to a fade but a hook won't listen." )
4. Hold! Hold! or Get Lucky!

Being such a hacker it seems I rarely have a chance to say anything while the ball is actually in flight. But I think 90% of what I say on the course starts with, "Mother" and ends quite a bit worse than that...

But in all honesty I think I have only gotten mad twice - Once on about my 7th attempt to get out of a bunker and the second time when I missed a short putt for what would have been my first par ever.

Oh wait, now I know what I say the most. "Mulligan!"

Since it's a well known fact that I NEVER make a mistake, these expressions cover the four scenarios mentioned;
1. Looks like the wind's got it
2. Looks like the wind's got it
3. Looks like the wind's got it
4. Looks like the wind's got it

That 'bout covers it

1. When you fear you hit it hard and it will over-fly your prefered landing area

Mine are pretty simple, really. I'm guessing here, trying to pretend I was in that situation. Here's what comes out:

  1. "Get down."
  2. "Get up. Bounce."
  3. "Quack."
  4. I can't say I've done this much in the past few years. I'm not a slicer. An overcooked hook is my miss.

funiest thing I've read this morning..:)

1. "Stop." 2. "God." 3. "F---." 4. "F---." but under my breath. to paraphrase..there's a funny comment in Rick O'Reily's book a few years ago..he was caddying for a guy at Augusta..the pro was talking to his ball in flight..then Rick decided to also "talk" to the pro's ball..the pro says to Rick.."Get your mouth of my balls."..gave me a chuckle.

Me neither... unless I lose concentration when going for a 'Big' one and fail to get the weight onto the inside of my back foot.

Thankfully this doesn't happen often, but when it does it's usually time to wave 'bye-bye' to the ball

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
