I've searched for a complete list of slang terms for golf scores and can't find them listed anywhere.

Like, "hockey sticks" is a 77.

"Snowman" is an 80. I guess it could be 88 as well.

"Trombones" is a 76.

Anyone have the complete set?

Wow. We're really making some progress here.

It's been more than a year, and one contribution.

So here's a couple more, and maybe someone else will be able to add more.

I was originally looking for full round scores, but individual scores as well will do. My two new additions, a 10 is a Bo Derek. A 9 is a hangman.

A couple more before bedtime.

"shot my temperature..." 98

less specific--"radio station"--anything from 88 to 107. Usually around 98-105.

For us a snowman was just an 8, for obvious reasons. 88 might be a snow couple. Kinda like the blizzard though.

Phoenix in July is any score above 100.

The Sahara in July is any score above 125.

Room temperature on the front means you'll probably be better off to stop counting strokes on the back.

A condom = a miss-hit that's safe but didn't feel right.

A tit-licker = a shot that opens up the hole.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
