  • You have an unorthodox swing -> Your swing sucks.
  • You have a smooth swing -> You swing like a "lil' girl"
  • Can we play ready gofl? -> You are slowing us down.
  • Nice shot! -> I can do one better.  Watch me.
  • Nice round.  It's been a pleasure.  -> Whew.  It's over.

Sometimes on a lousing outing, the  right side is what I hear. :-(

"you have honors"----> you are so..... slow, if you didnt win the last hole I already be teeing off while you are stilling dragging your butt from the last hole.

barely missed the putt then says you

"were robbed"------> you cant even buy a putt today. your stroke stinks.

I haven't played in weeks ---> I sneak out every other day for a quick 9, but my wife/boss doesn't know.

I prefer "other than the line and the pace that putt was perfect!"

But then again, what the hell do I know?

"You got screwed!" aka "I can't believe that didn't go in!"

Really means:

Quote:
"I'm such an a**hat for yelling 'great putt' while the ball was 10 feet out, and saying 'you got screwed' is a way of avoiding the obligatory apology and instead blaming it on some random magical force that knocked your ball offline after I made the comment."

On the green: "One time!" --> Just let this putt drop so I don't have to watch him 3 putt again!

"That'll play" --> we'll find your ball, but you're not going to like it

Sort of like "at least, it's in play" which means that was a 30 HI shot.

How long have you been playing golf?   --->  You look like you have been playing all your life and you can't hit s**t.

Nice set of clubs.  ---> If I spend that much money on golf equipment, I'd play better.

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
