What about the Son In-Law Shot Translation: Not exactly what you had in mind but it's OK.

When a playing partner tops one my favorite is "you looked up just as you lunged at it!" I know that one because it was used on me first.

My brother in Law says this on almost every hole........ "A Pitch & a Putt for Par" I look forward to the day when he starts hitting GIR.

'South America Putt' - A long putt that stops just short of the hole...all it needed was one more revolution.

"Nice shot"

When someone hits a ball well.

"Good putt"

When a putt goes in or is close from a long way.

"Well played"

When someone hits a good shot.

Condom shot - laying up on a doable distance

'Nice lag' - leaving it short on a short putt

Awesome - when I read all these contrived sayings that require a back story and that nobody would ever use on the course other than as a lead in to a bad joke, all I can think of is the sayings I like to hear - you just listed 3 of them.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

"Rondstadt-ed" - when my drive blew by you (Blue Bayou).

"Drop-kick" - hitting the ground before the ball on a tee shot with a driver.

"Ugly with t*ts" - a bad shot that ends up okay.

When I took up golf back during the last century, I was told that the only acceptable comments about another's golf shot are:

"Ball" and "Golf shot".

How can I say nice shot if I have no idea what they were trying to do with the shot?

That being said, when playing with my regular group, we say a LOT more than that.

Most of the better players don't even say the word "good." If you're commenting it's implied. All you'll hear among better players is:

"Shot."

"Save."

"Putt."

Occasionally:

"Good miss."

I guess coming them it would be the ultimate compliment eh?

Maybe I could shorten some of my terms to "bag" and "hole".

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

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
