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.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
