Golf sayings that get on your proverbials...

My pro is the professional at the course I'm a member of. My coach is the guy who I have lessons off.

What's the problem?

Because if a golfer rents the pro’s time for 1 out of the 730 hours in a month it smacks a bit of haughtiness to lay claim to him as ‘my pro’ instead of ‘the pro’

Actually haughtiness is too strong a word but couldn’t resist using it on a golf forum

Weirdly we all do it with certain professions but not for others
• My doctor
• My lawyer
• My personal trainer
• The plumber
• The call centre agent
• The binman

Actually is it a coincidence that those we want to display some kind of ownership over are the same ones with access to the intimate skeletons in our lives? Those same professions that see our flaws and weaknesses!

My Pro anyone? :D
 

I do tend to get shuffled around the ladies - but that is at the doing of our Lady Captains - so maybe the ladies find me acceptable company. Not sure I'll be asked to play foursomes by a Wentworth lady I played with in a four ball last week. On our last hole she rather caught it very heavy but it did make it's way to the front of the green. When her partner said - 'well it got there' my comment was 'rather shovelled though' got me a bit of a look - then a smile :) But I think I may have blown my chance of an invitation to Wentworth...

they know where to stand and don't use DMD's (worse tha a TV remote to them) so I expect they think of you as one of them:whistle:
 
I can't help saying to my regular playing partner 'good shot' if he thins a 100yd approach and it finishes near the hole. always said with a smile on my face though.
It's on the dance floor (green) is an odd expression.
Trees are 50% air. No their not in my experience.
