"you lifted your head then", or "you saw it before you hit it".. What the hell does that even mean?

Those or loser buys the beers. Lucky i like buying beer.
 
The Sally Gunnell one is very old now and should be never uttered again.

We get a variation of it here based on Liz McColgan. Even including the story about her husband which is especially odd considering the very public court case she went through.
 
The one winding me up at the moment is.....
If you could hit it straight you'd be off single figures.

3 different PP have said that in the last two weeks and it winds me up every time.
 
Someone once asked me what the "turf interaction" was like with my new irons. I told them to Foxtrot Oscar.


If anyone said gaming to me relative to golf, I would react violently.
 
"Did you see it down?" - no sorry mate, the forest got in the way!

"FISM"
 
What do you play off? Oh yeah, no these clubs are for single figure players you wouldn't be able to hit them! :confused:
 
Not Sayings as such but ..

Bite , bite ... Dude you just bladed a 3 iron , even if it had teeth it wouldn't bite ..

Go ball . Go Ball and then in same sentence when ball did go .. sit now sit sit sit ..
 
The worst for me is the non golfer saying, repeated by everyone I have ever met who does not play golf when they hear that I do: "Do you know what Mark Twain said about golf?......" Every time and they always think they are the first ones to quote it.

As far as golfers go I have to agree with the stableford excuse of score followed by x number of blobs.
 
One of the regular one's when discussing courses:

"the Brabazon has a handful of iconic holes but other than that isn't that inspiring"
 
"Good effort" means that you tried but it didn't quite work. So it's actually not much of a compliment.
I find myself saying this all the time- I can't help it
