Scumbagging.

I have just now decided that I will forever use the term scumbagging instead of sandbagging. It's just a little more apropos.

A "Hozel Rocket".  I can't say or type the commonly referred to term for this shot for fear of bad karma.  Anyone that has ever experienced a bad case of the hozel rockets knows what it is.

"A Quacker" = a duck hook

"A Chili Dip" = hitting it fat and the ball barely going anywhere, like you were dipping chili with a ladel

When you take a big divot and a long solid piece of turf ends up laying in the fairway we call it "a beaver pelt" because it is so big it looks like someone skinned a beaver and left it laying there on the ground.  (the turf was different in the mountains and this happened.  in Florida, it just flies into a million pieces and you fill the hole with sand rather than replace the divot)

When someone would take a big divot we would say "throw a tater in that hole" or "are you digging a well or hitting a golf ball?"

A buddy of ours had a particularly difficult day hitting into the trees and after the round we said "He spent more time in the woods than the boyscouts of America"

A different round that same buddy hit into more water than any human in history.  When it was over we said "He put more balls in the water than the men's olympic swim team."  After that round I told him if I were ever stranded in the dessert, I didn't want a divining rod or any other instrument to find water.  Just him, a driver, and a Titleist and I'm sure he would strike water within a minute.

That course was so difficult, I lost a ball in the ball washer.

There's so much water on that course, your caddy is Bill Dance.

The greens were slicker than frozen owl snot.

Just for the record (*looking up in the sky*), I wasn't the one that said "The S word"...so don't blame me.

A golf buddy of mine back home refers to it as "a low push" out of fear of saying the word.

That ball is Mahatma - (Gone-Di). Usually a huge high slice. Although, we pretty much just say, that ball is Ghandi. That shot is fat as the chicks you used to lay at ______ high school. I have "this one" for par. Usually a long way from the green. Never gets old.

When someone nails a putt that's going well past the hole, we yell "hit a house" or "spin back".

When someone hits an approach that is obviously not going to be anywhere close to the green we say, "Well, you took the green out of play."

When someone plays a chip shot with no finesse whatsoever, we say "you have the touch of a blacksmith" or we call them "Shaquill No Feel."

A horrible shot followed by either a thrown club or swearing - "Well you don't see that much on tour."

Variation: Whenever I hack up a hole & finally hole out for a triple - "I'm still waiting on that tour card to arrive."

Zip, we all know that if you had a better attitude, practiced more, believed in yourself, and really, really wanted it, that card would come. And when that day comes, Mark Stephenhagens for everyone!

Whenever I see a horrible shot, sometimes I mutter, "That's going to be a hellova par from there!"

LOL. I think I'll start a thread - 'Hi everyone! I'm 54 years old and a five handicap and I'm going to make the tour!"

For my Golfing buddies, and me it is any reference to Flowers or Plants. For example, A missed Putt, would be "You got to plant the seed if you expect it to grow". Or for someone deep in some woods, one would say" If you prune those tree’s now, it will be so much more difficult to get out of there next year".

"Look at the pretty Flowers" or "I see Flowers" always gets mentioned when driving out to play, and you first see your first glimpse of the course.

"I saw Flowers today!" is the best though. That’s when we see Flag sticks on a green for the first time in April, meaning winter is over, and it’s time to play! Any reference will work.

This originated about five years ago when I went out with one partner in particular, and we got to play on one of the 18’s at Tunxis Plantation. We were the only player’s allowed out on that course that morning, since they had a shotgun tournament beginning at noon, and the grounds keepers were busy getting it ready. He’s a much better player than I am, but unfortunately he was having a really bad day. Mid round he hit one of his lousiest shots of the day. Throwing his club to the ground and after saying a few "choice" words he turns to me and says, "Did you see that?"

(Of course I did). But from where I was standing, he was directly in line with a huge manicured garden planting behind him, and all I could muster was " Richie, I was looking at all the pretty flowers…" And for the rest of that round and many rounds afterwards, silly remarks have been made. It was really great day, and many afterwards.

I’ll toss one out to The Sand Trap members, anybody recognize it?

    • It's really hard to argue against the Tiger Woods 2000 swing.  I like Rory's swing. And, I've always liked Joaquin Niemann's swing. Although, if I tried to mimic Niemann's swing I'd probably end up in traction for 2 months. I was kinda bummed when he went to LIV cuz I almost never see it anymore.  At the other extreme, I can't look at Bryson when he plays. Even if it's very effective, it's coyote-ugly to watch.  I'd rather watch Charles Barkley than Bryson. ....  
    • Thank you for that information,I would have loved to see him in person
    • I think he was always kind of like that - he hit it off the planet relatively frequently throughout his career. I saw him play a couple of times. One time at Walton Heath in the European Open. He was playing the 13th on the Old (dogleg right par 5) and his drive had gone through the fairway and found a patch of grass in the woods there to the left (the woods have now gone). He had an opening to play back to the fairway. Maybe 25 yards to reach the fairway and 65 yards to run through the other side. He was maybe 230 yards away from the green, but the trees made sure that was not a viable option (at least that's what I thought at the time). He pulled out a pretty long iron - probably a 3 and gave it a full blooded thrash. I watched this ball come out straight for about 40 yards and then it just turned hard left, but stayed in the air (still not sure how he did that). He started the ball at a point that must have been 100 yards right of the green and hooked it basically that whole 100 yards and the ball wound up on the front of the green.  Shotmaking he was pretty much peerless. Not sure his swing was ever technically solid. Flowing and fun to watch yes, but not one you'd want to copy.  As to the question, I have heard a few people suggest that Mickey Wright had the best swing ever. Frank Nobilo had a pretty sweet looking one. Bruce Lietzke's was pretty cool - he managed to maintain PGA Tour playing rights with basically little to no work on his game - got to be a lot said for that.
    • A lot of us on this forum are hyper competitive, we just know not to break things that don't belong to us! that is why I stated "a person with a poor attitude grows up with no consequences" it is not all entitlement.
    • Yea, it is a cult following. Especially with the YouTube golf personalities using them. They did great marketing in a space that not many other golf clubs are getting into yet. Especially for putters.  I tried them out at Golf Galaxy before; I can't stand them look of them.
