Golf sayings that get on your proverbials...

That could get expensive if i am gaming my new big dog, sally gunnell up the first, take my strimmer into the jungle after the second, a hitler from the bunker to 3 stab on the short stuff with a brazillian thrown in and a drop of lipstick. Is a fist pump OK when i knock it in for 6 for 2 points?

:rofl: What 'track' you 'gaming' your 'bats' at?

pray tell, forsooth what #1 had replaced your #1?
 
"Where the f*** has that gone?"

Really winds me up. I know it's my fault my balls gone god knows where, but it still annoys me.


PS Some of theses have really made me chuckle !!!!
 
Maybe I'm mellowing but to a large degree all of these banal clichés pass me by. They are hackneyed and just trotted out almost like some form of golfing tourettes. As long as the rest of the conversation during the round is convivial I'm happy. For me, the thing that does wind me up (but is fortunately relatively rare amongst those I play with) is the guy who won't help you or your partners look for a ball in the rough
 
Just waiting for the first time I hear one of a foursomes pair mess up and declare 'my bad'. I will surprised if it will be any of my regular foursomes partners - I am highly selective over who I play foursomes with (my partners are less so).

The expression 'my bad' is a truly awful corruption of our language that should be eradicated by a thorough stamping upon whenever heard uttered.

Just leave a cheque payable to Help For Heroes, and we will fill in an appropriate amount.:thup:

I am worried now, I agree with you.:eek:

They don't worry me, and often are said because you can't think of anything else to say. I might try telling partners after a poor shot, that it was absolutely .... (insert appropriate word) shot, and probably the worst shot I have ever seen. They may feel better than me saying unlucky, or well out etc.:whistle:

Relax, 'pull down your pants and slide on the ice' From M*A*S*H, so pants mean trousers before any of you get arrested.:)
 
None of these things bother me.

I heard a new one yesterday if fact....

Paddy - Hmmm, bit of a son-in-law there........

Me - don't you mean a sister in law, as in you're up there but you know you shouldn't be?

Paddy - nope, a son-in-law - "not quite what I was hoping for."

:)
