Just heard this yesterday:

That shot was a Janet Reno.

Not attractive but very effective!

I also use the quote when facing a 50' putt and no one believes it can go in, I just tell them, "The ball has to go somewhere.  Why not in the hole?"

 

[TourSpoon]

Sam Snead: These greens are so fast that I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow! 

 

[NeilV]

Lee Trevino - I spend that much time in the woods that I know which roots are edible.

[Bucki1968]

"So does your husband play golf?". Heard at least once a month in my group.

“Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots–but you have you have to play the ball where it lies.” -Bobby Jones

Similar to another favorite.  A player hits a drive WAY offline, then pipes his provisional.  

"Same player, more experience".

Hopefully this isn't repeat, I didn't read all 6 pages.  But I believe it was Arnie that said "the more I practice, the luckier I get".  

I meant to add an other one.  I don't know who first said this,  but after striping stroke #3 down the middle after the first drive was OB, the man said "same golfer, more experience".

You didn’t read all six pages, but maybe you could’ve seen two posts back? 😂

That was a Thurman Munson (or any other deceased New York Yankee). A dead Yankee. Any shot or putt pulled. Also heard at least once a month in my foursome. 

That's O-Be-Won-Kenobi.  Out of bounds (once a month also).

I hope the bugs have helmets - Lee Trevino referencing a low shot

I did see those and thought I had deleted my post.  But must not have hit the correct buttons.  OH well, just old I guess.
