Lot's of pros have nicknames.  The Shark, The Big Easy, Lefty, The Hawk, and The Golden Bear.  My question is simple — what's your golf nickname or if you don't have one — what do you think it should be?

Mine would likely be something like

- Putt Pirate

- Shankapotamus

- The Hazard

Looking forward to seeing your nicknames.

My golf nickname would be "MaryBeth"...which is my wife's name.  I tend to leave a lot of balls short on the green and thus been dubbed with this name by my normal playing partners.

I leave putts short regularly as well and suffer the usual responses —

- Why don't you hit it with your purse next time?

- That was a good looking putt for a woman

ad nauseam

I used to have a HUGE sway so some of the comedians in my group used to called me Elvis. Don't currently have a nickname but as I have a tendency to play "army golf" I should be called Sarge. Left-right-left-right...

I don't sway anymore.

Yours in earnest, Jason.
Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie.

Sarge is a good nickname and as a hacker myself I know the left-right-left march very well :)

If you want to keep the Elvis moniker you could do a shimmy at set-up or simply say "thank you, thank you very much" after every good shot.

On my high school golf team I was called 'Hack Hack Plunk' cuz I wasn't a very good ball-striker but could get up & down from anywhere.

I'm new to golf and my usual partner has been playing for many years. I already play preeety close to as well as he does. So when I out play him he does call me by various nicknames, something like, "You a**hole". The name tends to vary from round to round.

I ran cross-country at a D2 school in college and they called me "PHAT" (pretty hot and tempting).  Mostly, it was because - although thin, I didn't look like a P.O.W. like most of them.

Phat Slice or Fat Slice is a good nickname.

      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.
