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

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

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

Nice!

(apparently 'nice' is too short)

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 Is the Best Way to Practice Alignment?

      By phillyk ·

      When it comes to set up routine in regards to alignment, I generally prefer my students to: 1) clubface, 2) chest and 3) feet. When the foot alignment happens before chest alignment, we tend to have issues.  I use this example often. I did an introductory flight for flight school, as a student gave me a certificate for it. As most new flyers are, I was staring at the instruments trying to be perfect. I was doing a 30 degree turn and didn’t realize the nose dropped. It had felt normal. The instructor said I had to learn what flat/level is in the air. Kind of a funny thing to say. He said to look at the horizon and nose and recognize their relationship, in order to determine level.  In golf, we see straight from behind the ball. But, when we set up to the ball, we lose what “straight” is. Have someone hold an alignment stick across your chest when you are in full set up and recognize where your lead shoulder is pointing in relation to your target.
