Golf sayings that get on your proverbials...

[MadAdey]

Where do I start then?

"well out" No I over swung, quit on it and was lucky to move it 1 yard out of the bunker.
"that was unlucky" No, I missed the fairway by 10 yards and got stuck behind a tree, it was a crap swing and I was lucky to find it in the first place.
"it was a good line" No my ball has just lipped out and gone 3 foot past. If the pace was better then the line was wrong and I would have missed it by 6" on the low side, so the line was not good.
"you left a few shots out there today" No I hit 3 bad chips that cost me 3 shots, I didn't leave anything out the
"BITE, BITE, BITE" contrary to popular belief golf balls do not have teeth and if they did they would still not be able to sink them in after that 3w never got above 6 foot from the deck
"what did you hit there" I thought it was a little round white thing, Titleist wrote on the side, goes by the name of a GOLF BALL! Or did I hit something else by mistake......

TO be honest not a lot bugs me on the course and I just see this thread as a bit of fun, but the above saying always make me chuckle to myslf.

I like to say bite bite when I top a lob wedge 50 yards through the green. I could say a lot worse.

Ooooh, I just remembered this one....

"That's a par for 4 points" - This really should never happen - ever

I agree.

 

[Hobbit]

What's wrong with a par for 4 points? Someone played well, and probably well above their standard.

Its the 8 for a point that winds me up. A triple bogey gets a point?!?!?

When none golfers say 'it's a good walk spoiled' oh how I laugh

 

[NST]

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)

My boy goes to the same school as Sally Gunnell's children. When she married she didn't take her husbands surname. At last years school golf day, one of the dads shouted 'gone on Sally' after topping a driver down the fairway. Another in the group asked him to explain, so he said, not pretty but a great runner, you know like Sally Gunnell. The reply, that's my wife!

 

[Swinger]

I hate it when people refer to what it obviously a push hook as a 'draw' and when people refer to a shank as 'nearly a perfect shot'.

 

[Rumpokid]

"There for nothing"...High handicapper, hitting ball like low handicapper in Stableford...Grrrrr....

 

[Stuey01]

When someone thins one that never gets off the ground and runs and runs... "Nice putt"

 

[Papas1982]

Be the club & be lucky!

2nd is especially annoying as my bro in law appears to have a tree resistant ball!!

 

[Fish]

I'm taking a Gerry Adams

Gonna use my Michael Barrymore

Ahh this one I agree with. Usually said by people who don't take walks either....

Thing is mate they actually think it's funny & that no one as ever said it before.

 

[wrighty1874]

And they know damn well it's a 9!!

There's only one that gets on my wick......

'Was that an eight or a nine?'

UUUUURRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!:angry:

 

[BubbaP]

In the spirit of the thread, 'grinds my gears'

Okay maybe not a golf saying, but had not come across it until on here!

 

[Twin Lakes]

It was tough out there..................(The winner didn't struggle)

After being drubbed 5&3 and you've shot 2 over to that point, to hear him say,

'i just had one of them days'

he is lucky not to get a 9i in his skull........

That just seems someone trying to be nice in winning

Players do have "those days"

I can guarantee I'm not going to be nice enough to say 'I just had one of those days' - golf is a social activity - matchplay is war

And by the way I'll talk to my ball if I want
