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.

That is true.

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!

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.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
