Room 101

The Scottish Shot was always the chip and run shot with a jigger,
Putting from off the green is a Texas wedge.

Shank has never been referred to as a Scottish shot as it is a well known fact that Scotsmen never shank.
 
any shout such as mashed potato, get in the hole etc etc

offenders should be put in stocks at the entrance to the course with unlimited amount of rotten fruit & veg available for all to throw at the complete douche that shouted it!

All televised aswell :)
 
The Captain pulling rank & pushing in, then playing really slowly whilst using a belly putter.
There, that should cover it.

Slime.
 
Not the weather as such but Forcasts, knowing that I can see sunshine out of the window now but there is no chance of me playing at the weekend because the Forcast has told me that we are going to have snow.
Why did you have to tell me that on Thursday i could have remained completly ignorant of the fact untill at least friday night. :(
 
I have traced the source of my 'scottish shot' transgression to my recollection of chapter three of the excellent 'Great Golf Debates' by Messrs Ellwood and Bissett. Apologies for any upset caused by my misuse of the term. It won't happen again ;)

Did you read that far ;)
 
Driving Ranges. They clearly give the likes of me too much confidence that I then take to the course and royally screw up my round with a 100+ score on the card. What I'd give to have a 'real' driving range with real grass to play off of to stop me hitting every ball like a pro... ;)

Played this week at a course that had a beautiful grass driving range. They had just moved the rope forward so we were hitting off lovely fresh shortish dense turf- like a really nice first cut. Even my nemesis 3 wood was launching off it wonderfully.
Then we went out to the closely cur fairway and had a reality check!

Golf is game of manners, tradition and etiquette; precise mechanics and perfect timing; hallowed swathes of dune land and hushed cathedrals of pine. From the very spot that Vardon, Jones and Hogan have stood to face the challenge of the greatest game a player sets himself on the tee, totally immersed in his bubble of concentration. The gallery waits. A Major trophy at stake. A Jug, a jacket, a silver cup. A slow coil then the sudden release of power, as the club sends the shining white ball on a beautiful parabola into the sapphire blue sky towards the green velvet of the fairway. The Golfing Gods above smile their approval.

And some idiot shouts "MASHED POTATO".
