Golf sayings that get on your proverbials...

Sorry but I hate all those little sayings like 'a Sally Gunnell' or an 'Adolf Hitler'. They are not funny, sound totally forced and everyone has heard them all before.

Also dislike the use of 'not stylish but effective' as I thin one onto the green (even worse I now find myself saying it every now and again)
 
I really grates when, after you've clearly caught it heavy, your playing partner suggests perhaps you under clubbed.

Well that could be the 'Sister-in-law' shot or the 'Giggsy'! Or, the cleaner version: the Son-in-law shot - not quite what you had in mind! Heard a new one on Sunday: The Bernie Madoff - Plenty of green and a great lie!

:whistle:
 
"game" as in " I game Mizuno "

Also found out recently that telling someone to "take their time." Is the most broken rule in Amatuer golf

Definitely 'I game...' , 'what do you game' or any derivative - It's just so bleedin' annoying. I assume it's an Americanism?

The rest don't bother me much as long as it's well intended, or more importantly a bit of banter between friends.


Yes, most definitely this.

Yep.
 
"that would have been perfect if..." - Well it didn't and it isn't perfect! Might as well say "that would have been perfect if I'd hit a decent shot".

"Fore" (at nothing more than a raised voice whilst watching a ball drift OB 300 yards away)

"good weight" at a putt that finishes 7 yards left of the hole.

"golf shot"

"what bats are you using? / nice bats"
