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".

A bad day on the course is better than a good day in the office.

When someone leaves a putt short:
You'll get it next time, Bobbit (John Bobbit)

I also call bogey's "Muggsy"...for Muggsy Bogues.

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."

[Blades4me]

When I'm not play'n well I'm "floging", which of course is golfing spelled backwards.

[DocWu1948]

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

[steelernation]

My all time favorites are "nnnaaaa nnnnnaaa nnnnnnaaaaa" when a very long putt is made



always brings a smile......

I think this place is restricted, Wang, so don't tell'em you're Jewish

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.

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.

[Quinn07]

"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.

[Old1964]

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

[CoVrt]

golf partner is half irish...when he gets a lucky break i say "wow, the kid really is irish"
"good ball"
"striped"
"sick putt"
"dialed" for good yardage

[saevel25]

"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
