my name's daniel, and i have a passing resemblance to john goodman, so a lot of my friends that i play with call me "big dan" after his character in "o brother where art thou?" i don't really feel one way or other about it, i don't suppose.

My nicknames are 'Golf Tan', or 'The Cannon'. 'Golf Tan' is because, of course, I have a pretty mean golf tan. Forearms, neck, and below the knees are nice and tan. Upper arms, torso, and my upper legs are so white, if you stare at them for more than 15 seconds you will be snow blinded.

'The Cannon' because I can blast it out there pretty good, but also have a temper if I play pretty bad

I like Tim Herron's nickname. I've always liked the guy. I also like The Golden Bear (Jack Nicklaus), Fluff (Jim Furyk's caddy. I love Jim Furyk), and Lefty of course. (Phil Mickelson)

Throw in there The Walrus (Craig Stadler), The Squire (Gene Sarazen), Boom-Boom (Fred Couples), and El Nino (Sergio Garcia).

The worst nickname is Alice, whenever a male's putt ends up significantly short. Unless you're talking to a certain "golf monster," in which case calling him 'Alice' is perfectly acceptable.

Haha, I think 'Alice' is the best. Especially when you're playing with two older guys who are always on each other's cases and constantly calling each other that. Hilarious.

Zinger - Paul Azinger

Ha, someone beat me to it!

Definitely my favorite golf nickname is "The Boss of the Moss" !! Worst nickname is probably "the big wiesy" (i'm hoping still that its a joke or it doesn't stick)

I believe that a good "golf name" is as important to golf as any piece of equipment and since I believe that Tiger's is the best.

A "Tiger" is an animal that takes no prisoners and "Woods" is a particular piece of golf equipment so that makes for a great combo in a Golf name.

So I have chosen for myself the golf name of Elephant Irons. It fits rather well since I am over 300 lbs. I even have a hat and golf towel with the name on it.

My brother has since adopted the moniker of Buffalo Balls.

Wow I can't believe noone mentioned "The Walrus". Of course now he looks more like John Goodman.

lol, I think you were just comparing him to Mike Holmgren, not John Goodman.

Wasn't Craig Perry called Popeye

I was given the name Banny Rooster because I never really stop moving. That has been shortened to Rooster or Brooster.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

As a Seahawks fan, I feel obliged to observe that... Huh, Mike (The OTHER Walrus) does do a mean John Goodman.

Gah, what a dunderhead mistake I made. I just did a search for him real quick to get a picture. I thought the one on the right was him with a shaved mustache. My bad.

padraig harrington's, "paddy", is probly the worst nickname on tour.

Not really a nickname... it's his name. Like calling John "Johnny".

No one's mentioned "Lefty" yet.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
