After you've been playing for years you hear most of these, but I have to admit that "condom golf" was a new one for me. I'll be using it. I hit the ball pretty long so when someone suggests that I not go for the par 4 in one, I tell them that I'll play that way when I get old (I'm 50+).

Btw, I have never heard anyone say "nice shot Sally" but that appears to be big in some regions of the country. By me, it's usually Alice (Aliss).

Favorite: When you hit a really good shot and someone says "golf shot"

My favorite I've heard from a pro was Greg Norman - who told his amateur partner after making a good shot - "welcome back to the clubface ball."

Like many, "never up, never in" is my least favorite cliché - yeah and never by and never off the f&%$ing green, dragging your sorry a$$ back to your bag to get your wedge. How about that?

The one most of my buddies have been throwing around lately which drives me nuts is the whole Michael Breed "galf" thing. It usually gets old by the turn.

"Ohh Steve, cmon, hit the damn galf ball!" *everyone chuckles*

"Should've booked our tee time through galfnow.com" When waiting on the first tee.

or the occasional voice mail "Hey! It's me Joe! I'm gonna go ahead and go to Galf now.com and book us a tee time to play some Galf!"

I usually lol, but at this point it's getting old fast.

Agreed... My favorite was hearing a guy after missing yet another 10 footer, he said " dammit *name* your wedge keeps writing checks your putter can't cash!"

The big dog gets more golfers into trouble than every other club combined. Most people should leave the big dog on the porch.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
