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.

"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.

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?"

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.

      That truly had me laughing. Thanks If anyone is interested Sun Day Red is live. I clicked on the hats, seem they are sold out. Shorts 130 bucks, shirts 120, everything seems to be sold out already, at least from what I clicked on. 130 for shorts, I'll pass.
