When a bad shot turns out ok--worm burner rolls for miles, slice or hook hits something and comes back to the middle, etc.

I have two for those shots: "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good", and/or "There's no picture on a scorecard - just numbers".

Maybe you guys should get more boring jobs and GO THROUGH all 19 pages like I did so you don't put "Does your husband play" for the 55th time. I think there's 5 pages worth of that one.
The only one I like that I will share is when you or someone's on the green but as far as could be from the pin "you're on the dance floor, you're just in the back with the fat chicks."

"My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my golf clubs for what I told her I paid for them."

Another I hear a lot when some really hits a miserable shot .... 'I wouldn't have it played it that way".

I got put in a group with a single I didn't know and the jack ass told me that... it was kind of funny actually.

My buddies call balls that get good hops off trees or just randomly good hops a "Dyke Hop" because we play with a guy whose last name is VanDyke and he gets every break.

He's very consistent and just beats it 230 right down the middle and the ocassional ball he hits miles into the woods falls right down in the middle of the fairway.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

Playing with one of those true course characters I hit a pretty long drive, his response was "I don't go that far on vacation"! Thanks Tinker.

I'm on vacation, playing with strangers, I hit a ball dead left. As a Red Sox fan I exclaim a "Mickey Mantle". Someone says a what? My response a dead yank!

I know a guy exactly like that is his name Jake? He will skip it out of the water five times and land on the green. Or it will be the smallest things and we just go nuts but we never admit it when we have 1 or 2

I'm considering calling a 3-putt par (or worse) after reaching a par 5 in two, an A-Rod. Great regular season, but chokes when it counts.

"Nice Drive, Nice 5!" - Usually said after making bogey on a par 4 from the middle of the fairway.

When someone has a nice swing, but can't play, we call them "Anna Kournikova" - Looks good but never wins.

After my partner leaves his putt short, I invite him to mark it with his lipstick.

"strategic lay-up", when your going for a par-5 in two and you end up topping it 100 yards down the fairway

"You're gonna need a blanket and suntan lotion, cause you're never gonna get off that beach, you jackass", every time i hit it in the bunker

"requesting permission for re-entry", when you sky your drive so high that it looks like you put it into orbit

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
