"Nice "elephant ass shot ....HIGH AND STINKY!!!!" -when they pop their driver up high

My dad, when I was younger and couldn't get out of the sand used to stand by the bunker and yell "STRIKE 1! ....STRIKE 2!!!.... every time I didn't pitch out.....i would get sooooo mad, but would be laughing so hard.....uuuuughhh.

Back in College I heard Phil Mickelson had a tour nickname:

"Nothing sweeter in golf than the well executed layup"

usually said when someone can reach a par five on their second shot but elects for the lay up.

Holy Cow!! I can't believe I just read all 21 pages of this thread! Some great stuff in here.

Some sayings in my groups..

Is your p#ssy sore? ... leaving a putt short
A variation on the sister-in-law... "that's like f'ing your sister-in-law" - its all the way up there, but your not proud of it.
When hitting a low line drive off the tee, a friend of mine will scream "Run like you stole a chicken!!"

"She had it in her mouth and then her dad walked in" ... My all time favorite, for a putt that lips out after doing the full 180 around the cup

“You don't have the game you played last year or last week. You only have today's game. It may be far from your best, but that's all you've got. Harden your heart and make the best of it.”

~ Walter Hagen


"I'm trying to find the squirrel so I can shake his hand"

After hitting one into the trees, going to look for it, and a playing partner finds that it bounced back into the fairway.

good thread idea

a few i've used this year, my first serious golf in 20 years

SO BAD IT'S GOOD - rather self-explanatory. e.g. a slice so bad you're sweet in the other fairway, a skulled sand shot that skyrockets over the lip and lands close to the hole, a really pulled putt that goes in the hole cuz you're as bad at reading greens as you are at putting. sort of like 2 or 3 wrongs making a right.

JENNY CRAIG [swing] - hit it fat, then thin, then fat, then thin, etc

FATTY McFATS-A-LOT - you constantly hitting fat when you know better

[AHHH] F**K S**T P*SS D*MN H*LL - this is stolen from another golfer. Instead of swearing loudly or otherwise acting out after a poor result, say the five magic words very quickly and rather softly, conversationally, in an "oh well" + disappointed-again fashion. If you are known as a hothead a-hole, this juuuust might work for you to upgrade from "PSYCHO-BABOON" to merely "ANNOYING." It'll likely take some practice.

OH GOOD IDEA - SNEAK UP ON IT - This is a variation of the Alice putt. His 20-foot putt is 7 feet short, and so you validate his putt. "Oh good idea, dude, sneak up on it." Like that's the smart play, lay up really short on the putt and maybe the hole will let its guard down and he might accidentally make the 7-footer. In fact, he should probably lag the 7-footer to guarantee the 3-putt, cuz of how he's putting. Just get it close; baby steps, that's the thinking, don't get greedy. And the thing is, with tricky greens and no confidence, ninja-putting might actually be the way to go sometimes. The problem is so many golfers take this comment the wrong way! I'm just trying to help--really! I'm on your side bro!

crap i just had another one but i forgot

Golf buddy hits a great shot that gets a really cruel bounce: "Wow you suck!"

Buddy's putt agonizingly crawls all the way around the cup: "Holy crap, did you see that? How the hell did that stay out? I you putted that fifty times, I bet 49 would drop! That must really hurt!"

Like they say, if you can't kick a man when he's down, you'll never kick him when he's standing up.

My dad always says "well son, somtimes you just have to take your medicine."
When him or I are in the trees, with no way to get over, and have to punch out back onto the fairway. Cracks me up everytime, as I go for my impossible flop shot over a huge tree!

I played today with a married couple who were in their mid-60's. She used to teach school and said she never used cuss words because she didn't want to slip up in the class room. She duffed a shot and said "Ain't that a tutti frutti". Her husband translated : Ain't that a mother fu....

My friend turned around to us just before he pulled the trigger on his first drive and said with a smile "I'm going to do to this ball what I did to my girlfriend last night" I took the bait and asked him what that was?" He said he was going to drill it long and hard" I'm sure the laughter was heard all over the course.


When someone bangs one out of bounds, make the sound of a pump action shot gun (chick,chick) to indicate he will have to relode.

An Elton John = a big ugly bender that lips the rim
A princess grace = should have took the driver
A princess dianna = should have left the driver

On a putt that comes up short of the hole --> "Hit it Mary!!"

Great posts...going to have to use a few of these...here's a few a friend and I use:

Early Christmas Present- A poorly hit shot that ends up under a tree (usually a pine tree).

Abducted by Aliens- "It looks good, it looks long, it looks straight....it loo...where the hell is it!?"

"That's why they're sold by the dozen"- Said after losing a ball.

"Heeeeee shoots and scooooores!" - After sinking a really good putt, said in the voice of Mike Lange (Pittsburgh Penguins radio announcer)

"Juuuust a bit outside" - after a hook or slice, said in the voice of Bob Eucker

Two sayings we use on that drive that looks like a 9 iron, either and elephant's ass, high and stinky or a 300 yard drive, 100 up, 100 out and 100 down.

    • Great advice from Newhart. IMO unless there is a serious mechanical flaw most have the ability to will themselves to a consistent tempo.    
    • Be happy Tiger is not playing. 😄 Not that he gets as much attention lately as before, but focus on him has ground a lot of gears through the years.
    • 002: Do’s and Don’ts for Parents at a Junior Lesson | The Spin Axis Podcast - Golf Coaches Discuss Instruction Modern Techniques and Technology Episode 2 is out.
    • No. EE is almost never a matter of just willpower. Making the changes you need to make — at the right speed, the right way, etc. — can be a matter of willpower. The actual moves involved in EE? No. Most people EE because they must in order to hit the ball with the other stuff they have going on in their swings.
    • I've actually been thinking about this @iacas do you think this can apply to the left butt moving forwards and back to prevent early extension? Just force yourself to do it?   For the record - I often overswing when I feel the need to feel my left arm crossing my torso and against my chest. I stop the back swing when I feel the left arm totally adducted across the chest which is way too long
