Golfing Nicknames

[Khamelion]

Not the well known on the TV golfers, like Tommy 'Two Gloves' Gainey, but the nicknames given to the players at your golf club, be they given or humerous reasons or otherwise.

I'll get the ball rolling with a guy at my dads club, he's been given the name rigor, as in rigor mortis, as he's been timed at waiting over 20secs while at address before actually striking the ball and because of this it looks like he's fallen asleep.

any others?

 

[Rooter]

we have a mate called Duff Man (as in the Simpsons) you can imagine why he is called that....

 

[Mattyboy]

Compass - required when playing with me to find your way back to the fairway!:lol:

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I used to know a Pro called 'Jumping Beans' due to the way he marked his ball.

A club member called Enos was a right know it all.

 

[pbrown7582]

Was guy in society I played got the nickname Tonto,

 

[jimbob.someroo]

A very common one but apparently the juniors nicknamed a bloke at our club 'thrush' because he was an irritating ****

Perhaps a tad harsh?

 

[patricks148]

We've got a guy in our Roll up called the Viper!

He sticks his tongue in and out while playing shots, very funny

 

[cookelad]

Footwedge - I'll let you guess why!

That had me laughing out loud in the office.

Got to remember that one, as there are a few people at work who that name could be applied to.

 

[CMAC]

we have one called the Merchant! as in Merchant Banker! it's because he was a merchant banker in London all his career..........

/I've not really got into the swing of this have I

"Exocet" for the local no it all.
You can see him coming but do bugger all about it.

 

[Fader]

We've got quite a few at our club with nicknames though I can think of someone I want to use the term thrush on.

Magic, the guy has the pencil at the club.
2balls, goes into the rough playing one but when he marks on the green its a different name and number

 

[Deleted member 15717]

The Abortionist. Purely because of the action of his swing. It's horrific!

 

[Lollfred]

a member of our gang is called 'Ferret', he is ace at ferreting about in the rough and finding our mis-placed shots / balls ...

 

[shewy]

Played with a guy who had the nickname intercontinental!
He had a tendancy to go ballistic when hitting a bad shot.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Knew a Jimmy Riddle and a Tommy Gunn sadly for them the names had stuck with them from school.

Realised why a guy was nicknamed Nobby once when having a pee next to him!!

'Bigger and Better' must have been a bit like Excocet.
Whatever you had seen, done, eaten, made, driven or visited he had done it ...............

 

[mcbroon]

There's a guy at our place with the surname Longmore.

His nickname is Flymo.

 

[bluewolf]

A guy I play with has the surname "fiddler". We tried to nickname him Kiddie, but he really didn't like it and we haven't seen him for a while.

 

[Bratty]

We've got a Taps at the club, because he blows hot and cold.

 

[BoadieBroadus]

i play with a group who are bad for making up names for other members - simple ones like dave the c* (to distinguish from "nice dave") to the more descriptive "Mouth like a dog's arse" and a favourite, the "fully grown midget" who is actually 6ft but has a large head and looks out of proportion.
