Golf Sayings that make you cringe

[Liverbirdie]

What if you hit a great shot, can i follow it up with "wow Liverbirdie, you've got game today!" ? no? Ok..

I'm only interested in game pie.

One

 

[delc]

TV commentators (especially Americans) who state the blindingly obvious, e.g. "He'll want to make this putt"!

As Bob mentioned I hate hearing "It's still you"

Other thing I hate is "its too wet for buggys"

Hate "too wet for buggies" ?! Sorry that's confused me

 

[Slab]

Hate "too wet for buggies" ?! Sorry that's confused me

Who really wants to walk in this heat?

Anyway very often the green to tee distance is ridiculous and buggys almost mandatory so I hate finding out we have to hoof it (its happened about four times in three years and its getting on my nerves

 

[Spear-Chucker]

"3 metal". No, its a £$%&*%# "3 wood" and I'm about to bludgeon you to death with the aforementioned instrument. Butch Harmon, I'm looking at you.

 

[Del_Boy]

Double eagle gets on my tits. The old septic's have contributed a lot to the world but not this, it is albatross not double eagle

 

[drewster]

Still you (ewe)!

Bless you Derek, I know what it means , it just makes me cringe. I think Wayne Riley said it on commentary the first time I hear it years ago and since then the world and his dog think it's funny to say "dead sheep" followed by "still you....get it ?"

So it's not really a golf saying as such then ?! Hence the confusion

In a similar vein when reading in various press (normally beeb website) " 'Out of form player' seeks return to form at 'next big tournament' " - Really you mean said out of form player doesn't want to continue hacking round at the back of the field?

Technically though, it aint no wood.

 

[Spear-Chucker]

Technically though, it aint no wood.

Can only agree on a technical level, daft not to, but I think its more of a cultural thing - nefarious as that type of thing is though

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

So which popular golf sayings you here from people make you cringe

Ill start with

38 points with x blobs

Purest form of golf

They don't bother me in the slightest and I know I am as guilty as EVERYONE else in trotting them out.

:thup:

Hate it when someone says, fairway metal......... or metal wood........

 

[Foxholer]

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.

And there's Sonia O'Sullivan for the Irish - at least for the first part!

 

[Hobbit]

I've got several I trot out on a regular basis. I love their cringeworthyness, which is all part of the banter.

Its only a game.

 

[NorfolkShaun]

Great putt if you wanted to be halfway

True

I think the likes of "Dennis wise" and "sleeping with the sis in law" and even Sally Gunnell are part of the cheesy banter

 

[Bazz]

Anyone care to help me out with the Sally Gunnell expression?

topped shot is which goes flying along the fairway 'ugly but a good runner'
