Comical put downs from your partners

[joma1108]

Was playing golf with a couple of lads i didnt kow but were good company that had sayings for everything, but the two that stuck in my mind after hitting two seperate shots that shouldnt have worked but did

Skimmer along the ground 200 yards - Sally Gunnell - ugly but it can run

Push left hit a tree shot forward and landed on the edge of the green - thats a sister in law, you shouldnt be up there but you are

put a smile on my face, are there any other Colloquialism that bring a smile to your face

 

[fundy]

The one that always seems to get to people is "thats a really good shot for THAT swing"

 

[joma1108]

Ah one more that the guys in my sweep say when im short of the green with my second (that drives me mental)
'Do you want me to hold your handbag next time you hit to the green nancy'

 

[garyinderry]

when i leave a putt short, or run it by the hole a bit with a bit more work to do before its down. my brother says,

"theres a bit of chicken left on that bone!"

 

[Mattyboy]

Theres a list of these somewhere on here. My fave is a Dennis wise - A dirty little 5 footer.

I spoke to a mate the other day and asked him how he played? His response - 'Well I got on 15 greens - which is more than the greenkeeper did when cutting the holes.....'

although all these can come back to bite you later in the round. THEY ALWAYS DO!

shaking hands at the end of the game he says "thanks for the company at least"

oh and the occasional skim accross the water that gets met with "oh a barnes wallace"

If your playing partner leaves a putt short, as they are walking towards the ball we'll say "You've dropped something." They will then look behind and we'll say "It's your handbag."

Another one would be, "Next time you should use the Prada and leave the Gucci at home."

Love the handbag ones!

An Elton John putt, a big bender that licked the rim.

That is absolute quality, laughed out loud when i read that.

After a poor tee shot I often throw out - to be fair you had an awful lie.

Gets him every time.

hehe, like that one

One I use a lot if my m8 duffs one I'll congratulate him with "At least it's closer than it was". The stare I get back could turn you to stone.

[Doon frae Troon]

I could beat him playing with a gumboot and an orange.

Another for after a putt is left woefully short.

"Does your husband play as well?"

 

[Ian_S]

"Your problem is you're standing too close to the ball..... after your shot"

And of course, "still yours I believe" after their putt is still further away than yours.

The classics are the best - I always like to use the Sally Gunnell one as well

 

[joma1108]

HA HA, i need to write some of these down so i can get my own back on the sweep as i tend to get the old leg pulled on occasion.

although i started the thread reminnded me of the story of the american standing on the first tee at St Andrews, puts one to the right and OB, in America we call that a Mulligan he says to the wee scots caddie, "what do you guys call it"

" 3 aff the tee" was his reply

I really hope thats a true story :rofl:

One of my regular playing partners has a horrendous snap-hook that comes out to play now and again, as do I.

He's a golf nut and practises all the time, always "working on" something.

He hit one of his snap hooks off the tee so far it was stupid. One of the other lads piped up "Was that that draw you've been working on?".

We were absolutely helpless. Used every time, for everyone now aswell (with fade substituted as necessary)

 

[Imurg]

The one taht can be heard time and time again when we play is ....

"No-one likes to see that"

 

[MKDave]

Haha some beauties on here!!

My mate and I played with his father in law and when my mate left his putt short on the second all I heard was

"caught that one in ur fanny did ya?"

Really made me laugh and we use it all the time now!
