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.

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

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?"

      PGA Makes Changes and Adopts My Change I Wanted for Years

      By jxdama · Posted

      I  had to return to boast  just a  bit. Everyone  knows  i thought  this  is  how the Championship should  be decided. Match play is far  better than stroke  play to determine a  champion and  its  much closer to most sports  playoffs. Lose and you are  out.     Promotion, relegation and match play: PGA Tour unveils radical new structure The PGA Tour has revealed its planned changes to its competitive model, schedule and playoffs, changes that will be more substantial than any in the Tour's half-century-long history. How will the PGA Tour series wrap up its season? The current PGA Tour playoff format consists of three stroke-play events, concluding with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Starting in 2028, the Tour's playoff system will feature match play, and will rotate through various courses. Further details will be revealed at this year's Tour Championship next month.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By gestate0560 · Posted

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?

      PXG Brand

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..

      PXG Brand

      By DewSweeper09 · Posted

      Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By DewSweeper09 · Posted

      I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
