Mysterious terms

[RangeMonkey]

There have been a few terms used in posts on here that I’m. It familiar with. There was just another, and now there’s enough mystery that I feel I need to ask... what are:

• LLs
• Blobs
• Scrambles
• Swindles

?

Blob - when playing stableford and you score 0 points on a hole

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

And what is “the general penalty”..?

 

[fundy]

Scramble is a format where you play as a team, you all drive, you pick the best one then all play from there. continue the same way and shoot -10 or better for the only time in your life

 

[fundy]

Swindle, or roll up, is a name for a group meeting and playing a non formal comp usually stableford where everyone puts a few quid in the pot which is divvied up by the winners

 

[fundy]

LLS not a clue lol

• LLs - Lucy Lockets - another term for a shank
• Blobs - When you can't score on a hole in stableford
• Scrambles - Texas scramble is a team event where you pick a persons shot and all play from that position and repeat until the ball is in the hole
• Swindles - Another term for a roll up group. Also sometimes referred to as greedies

Just had another one: “board comps”.

competitions, where if you win, your name is stencilled onto the winners board for that comp in the clubhouse, usually seen as "prestigious" or overrated depending on how you look at it

And what is “the general penalty”..?

Two shots (stroke play) or loss of hole (matchplay). It’s a term in the new rules as from 1 January 2019.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Scrambling as opposed to a scramble
Is your ability to make par not in regulation.

Par in regulation on a par 4 is on the green in 2 plus 2 putts.

If you put your 2nd shot in the rough, or a bunker and then chip close and hole the putt, you have scrambled a par ?

Board comps - when you have to play Monopoly or Scrabble instead because your course is waterlogged.

LLS not a clue lol

I suspect that may be LIs Loose Impediments

'board' is short for Honours Board

At my first club, NE of England, it was called a sweep.

The roll up or swindle on here confused me for a good time. I had no idea what people were talking about.

• LLs - Lucy Lockets - another term for a shank

I have only ever heard/seen this used by one person, which is SwingsitlikeHogan on here. I presume locket rhyming with socket is the reason.
