Lot's of pros have nicknames.  The Shark, The Big Easy, Lefty, The Hawk, and The Golden Bear.  My question is simple — what's your golf nickname or if you don't have one — what do you think it should be?

Mine would likely be something like

- Putt Pirate

- Shankapotamus

- The Hazard

Looking forward to seeing your nicknames.

My golf nickname would be "MaryBeth"...which is my wife's name.  I tend to leave a lot of balls short on the green and thus been dubbed with this name by my normal playing partners.

I leave putts short regularly as well and suffer the usual responses —

- Why don't you hit it with your purse next time?

- That was a good looking putt for a woman

ad nauseam

I used to have a HUGE sway so some of the comedians in my group used to called me Elvis. Don't currently have a nickname but as I have a tendency to play "army golf" I should be called Sarge. Left-right-left-right...

I don't sway anymore.

Yours in earnest, Jason.
Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie.

Sarge is a good nickname and as a hacker myself I know the left-right-left march very well :)

If you want to keep the Elvis moniker you could do a shimmy at set-up or simply say "thank you, thank you very much" after every good shot.

Or tee off with a piece off fried chicken hanging out of my mouth.

On my high school golf team I was called 'Hack Hack Plunk' cuz I wasn't a very good ball-striker but could get up & down from anywhere.

I'm new to golf and my usual partner has been playing for many years. I already play preeety close to as well as he does. So when I out play him he does call me by various nicknames, something like, "You a**hole". The name tends to vary from round to round.

I ran cross-country at a D2 school in college and they called me "PHAT" (pretty hot and tempting).  Mostly, it was because - although thin, I didn't look like a P.O.W. like most of them.

Phat Slice or Fat Slice is a good nickname.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

      I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
