Silly post I admit but I was in surgery yesterday morning for my knackered shoulders and now I have a few days off to recuperate and time to kill.
Anyway the orthopaedic surgeon who operated on me is an asian gentleman by the name of Mr H Shanker. Very nice fellow but I kept thinking what if he was a golfer! The clubhouse jokes would never stop.
 
A friend of mine in American was named Michael Putt and he was trying to get his daughter to play golf. Then she would have been "Miss Putt".
 
Reversing the situation, there's quite a few famous/notorious people who have the honour of having golf shots named after them. There's loads of them, but a couple of my favourites are:

Sally Gunnell - Not pretty, but runs a long way
Anna Kournikova - Looked good, but no result
Calista Flockhart - Thin, but looked OK
Dennis Wise - Nasty little five footer

There's plenty more.
 
My OP has been hijacked, I guess as it had no mileage in it.:o

Going with the flow does anyone actually use those comic shot description names listed when out on the course?
Only one I've ever used myself and heard used is 'Gerry' for a provisional ball (no explanation required) but going back a few decades, not these days though.
 
A tip to new golfers........don't try any of the above ' old jokes' if playing with experienced golfers as you will end up sounding like a right pratt.

eg I first heard the Hitler one in the late 1950's and it was old then.
 
Going with what the original post was about i know a few. We have two Brothers at Nairn call Bunker and there were a couple of guys at Tain. One was Billy Duff and Bobby Shanks.
 
Joe was a model husband. He worked long hours for a large accounting firm trying to make partner and get as much business and revenue as he could for the firm. Trying to stay fit, Joe religiously went to the gym two nights a week, and he plays golf every Saturday.

His wife of two years was happy he was such a determined man, but she wanted him to relax more. She decided to surprise him and take for his birthday to a local Gentleman’s Club one evening. When they drove up, the parking valet at the Club opened the door for Joe’s wife. He then went around and took the keys from Joe.

“Nice to see you again, Joe.” The parking valet said.

His wife wondered, “Joe, have you been here before?”

“No, haven’t ever been here. That guy goes to the same gym I do.”

They get a table up front and the waitress brings Joe a bourbon and water. “Here’s your usual Joe, what would your guest like to drink?”

Joe’s wife orders a wine, then says, “How did she know you like bourbon and water?”

“She’s a bartender at the golf course and knows that’s what I drink, sweetheart.”

A dancer comes up to their table and rubs her breasts in Joe’s face while mussing his hair with both hands and says, “Hi Joey, you want your usual lap dance tonight?”

Joe’s wife is fuming and grabs her purse and storms out the door. She waves a taxi down outside. Joe follows her and just gets into the taxi before his wife can slam the door on him. Joe begins pleading with his wife explaining the dancer must have mistaken him for someone else. He begs her to understand. Joe’s wife is going bezerk, yelling at him non-stop. She’s using every four-letter expletive known to man. Joe continues pleading when the taxi driver turns around and says, “You picked up a real bitch this time, Joe.”
