I had the TV on in the background for whatever tournament is on and they just returned from commercial. I just heard it. Ian Baker Finch is caught using the "S" word. No, not that one but Sheepshagger. Who was he referring to? One of the Pros? Nick Faldo? David Feherty?

I'm probably pulling this right out of my arse, but I would think that an Aussie using the word "sheepshagger" would be referring to a Kiwi. Michael Campbell maybe?

By the way, thank you for this post and a new word for my vocabulary! "Sheepshagger" - I love it.

didn't hear it, hopefully no kids heard and were hurt

Okay, I'm watching the John Deere right now on my DVR, and at 1 hour in, coming back from commercial, Peter Oosterhuis was chuckling and Ian Baker-Finch says (I think)
"The toad"
and Oostie mumbles
something-something "that guy."

No worries. We say the same thing about people from Oklahoma.

Nice!

(apparently 'nice' is too short)

I did hear that when I was over there a couple of summer's ago. Funny I didn't know what it meant!

it may not be nice to call them sheep herders a sheepshagger but the reputation isn't unearned. i am sure the sheep from the early days of golf in scotland were greatly thankful for the invention of this game to take them away from the focus of intention.

Oh what's the big deal? It's just a word. I don't think anyone outside the US thinks it's a big deal.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
