Another one (not original - I think it's stolen from Lee Trevino): "The best balls I hit all day was when I stepped on a rake in the bumper!"

Might have already posted this one... but when you crush a tee shot and your partner does not, as you go toward his ball you say, "Hey, did you know they were putting a new WalMart in here? First timers always take the bait and say, "no way... where?" And you say, "Between your ball and mine." Pretty heartless. When you are only a little bit in front you can say, "hmmm... only a sunglasses Kiosk." Sooner or later it will flip and you will hear all about the new WalGreens or such, to which you say, "Naw, just a Quickie Mart."

When a poor golfer makes an OK shot: "Well, I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while".

When you completely miss the ball: "I caught a FISH - F#@& It's Still Here".

Chipping in or making a long put for 8+: "That's like winning a gold medal at the Special Olympics".

Ones that I have coined, "what a hitter" it is a reference to "Martha Gooch" on the movie "A League of their Own", when ever a terrible looking shot pans out well.

And the "Forest Gump" or "box of chocolates" , nicknames for a club in the bag that gets random results every time I use it.

Playing hockey, is putting more than 3 times

Boomeranged it, a horrible slice

I am sure there is more....

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

Haven't read the entire thread and I'm sure it's been said, but I love when someone comes up way short on a putt asking "does your husband play golf too?"

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

Hmm, what can I add that's new.....

On a big drive .... "That's my Linda Ronstadt shot 'Blew By You!' "

Also on a big drive ... "Did you get lucky this morning?" and the response has to be "Not at our age".

And when your partner kicks your ball back after you get on in six ..."I hate to see a grown man cry".

That one was OBPLHA (pronounced OhBee-PaLosHa) -- meaning "Out of Bounds, Probably Lost, Hit Again."

The Special Olympics must not mean anything to you, but it might to the competitors.

That is a tasteless joke, just sayin'.

You are right. A lot of tasteless stuff gets said on the course that should probably stay there. I should have left that one in the bag.

When your buddy hits a worm burner or skys one, but still ends up in the fairway, and he is bummed, I will remind him to:

"Never belittle a ball in the middle!"

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 sometimes say "Crude- but effective"

No harm done. I have a handicap daughter and that is something I never thought of before.

I didn't want to go through all 18 pages, so if this has been posted already, my apologies...

Putting whipped cream on a pile of $hit! (making a long or difficult putt or chipping it in after a hack job in getting the ball on the green)
