Or the Paula Radcliffe

Still,ugly but goes a long way

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

The 'clean' version of the 'sis-in-law' one is the 'son-in-law' - not quite what you had in mind!

Still,ugly but goes a long way

or the christine ohuruogu but i do struggle pronouncing that one so stick with Sally.

One that upsets my PP is i can often get my left and rights mixed up while calling a ball so it sounds like i'm calling the ball to go in the lake etc. well the think i mix it up :smirk:

Technically though, it aint no wood.

and irons aren't made of iron

My cringe phrase is "Never up never in" hate it!

 

[USER1999]

Great strike.

A good shot is a good shot, but a great strike is going into the trees, or OB.

 

[Imurg]

Not golf specific but the phrase "Nothing better/worse than...."
Believe me, there is always something better/worse........

 

[bluewolf]

When someone playfully shouts "FIVE", because "Fore", just isn't warning enough... Wind yer neck in fella..

Not read all the thread but played a "hitler" today.

Two shots in the bunker.

 

[Tiger man]

That's pin high! Then lands 15 yards short

Someone, who shall remain nameless, regularly exclaims how good a line he's hit the ball on....regardless of whether its 30 yards long or short.....

Umm, isnt steel made from iron? Albeit an alloy?

Cringeworthy phrases make for lightening a game that doesnt usually lighten itself.

Most of the oldies covered. Still get the "head up" know it all, usually off a higher handicap. Personally I'm not fussed if someone trots a hackneyed cliche out or not. Better than playing in stony silence. Sometimes I even find that someone making a sarky comment fires me up and I want to par the next just to shove a metaphoric two fingers up to them

 

[Sats]

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.

I'm so with you on this one, i normally retort that Mark Twain was a utter t***er

 

[Tiger man]

Care to enlighten me to the rest of this one?

Not sure weather to add this one as it did make me laugh. It's an updated Sally Gunnel.

the sister inlaw

you know you shouldn't be up there, but happy you are... Still makes me smile

I am in pain having to repeat this but for you..."golf is a good walk spoiled". Aaaaarrrgghhhhhhhh.

Not so much a saying but oft trotted out on course websites: "a par here is always a good score"
