Favorite Golf Sayings

[9wood]

Someone once said to me, "give golf a try, it's challenging"

To which I replied; "yeah, but so tossing a tic tac in a shoe box at 100 feet

Here is a rule I made up - Good golf clubs won't help a bad golfer

I would enjoy reading sayings from the rest of you.

"Two things that don't last very long: dogs that chase cars and golfers that putt for pars."

[Ernest Jones]

I've always been partial to referring to the bunkers as cat boxes.

That's an ABFU....  (After Birdie F Up)....    <-- not my favorite & not my saying...   I prefer "birdie run!!!"

I do like the cat box or litter box for sand traps though... after all, there's nothing but sh** that comes out those things...

I use the term, "PBFU", post birdie F up.

Actually...  one of them is my swing thought sometimes...   I stole this one from that show "Flashpoint" - a show that is about a Strategic Response Unit dealing with hostage situations....

Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast ...

Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast....    yeah, it actually makes sense for me.  You don't have as much tension in your arms etc.  It helps me in pressure situations and reminds me to stay smooth...  My tendency under pressure is to overswing sometimes...

My dad always says this to me on every tee box, "Take your time, keep your head down, I'll watch the ball for you." Ha, ha, ha. I don't know why he insists on saying it every hole but he does.

After 18 holes with my buddy, John, we finish the round by saying, "It's been a slice of heaven."

After a few bad drives I utter under my breath, "Swing slow, and watch it go."

And, of course, as a very long putt approaches the hole, I use the Ty Webb quote from Caddyshack, "N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n."

In reply to someone coming up well short on a putt:

Womans day is tomorrow!

"90% of that tree is air. Yeah, but so is a screen door."

[imsys0042]

"90% of that tree is air. Yeah, but so is a screen door."

I've said this a few times to that. "I'm 2/3 water, but you don't see me splashing down the drain"

[deadon500]

after a good hit  -- that ought to work

after a bad putt by me or others  -- fiso   f***  im still  out

[ghalfaire]

My favorite is a quote from Bobby Jones, "golf is a game that is played in the 5 inches between your ears".

[ron273]

I like a quote I heard, I think it is from Bob Rotella: "play the shot you can, not the shot you want.

[dennyjones]

If I hit the fairway, "Hey diddle diddle, hit it down the middle".

If I leave a putt short, it either has lace on it or I'm Alice

If I putt and I'm still away, it's still a "U za".   U za still away.
