My FiL say unlucky if someone hits a bad shot or misses a putt. He even complains about his own bad luck.
He doesn't like it when I point out it wasn't bad luck it was just a crap shot ?

That's quite common, I find myself saying it sometimes. I think because watching someone miss a straightforward putt is super awkward so you have to fill the silence somehow, ha.

Or try the eternal favourite " No-one likes to see that".

Despite the number of posts about how quick you should be able to play a round of golf, the slowest rounds of golf you will play are at Forum meets and events.

This comes back to my...let us say....irritation with a lot of golf etiquette. Another guy I used to play with years ago would say "shot" when you hit your drive. As long as it wasn't so bad it killed somebody on the next fairway that's what he said. Of course it was a shot. Most people tend to say something to everybody when they hit their drives. I try to resist this type of etiquette. If it is just a boring ol' decent strike I quite often don't say anything.....and sometimes you get "the look" if you don't say something. My attitude is if you hit a good shot....I'll say something. If you hit a crap shot.....you'll get anything from nothing to "uh oh"......."that's not where you really wanted to hit it".....or of course the famous laughing out loud at such a terrible shot.

The necessity of conversing with playing professionals 500 yards away by screaming mashed potato and get in the hole at them should be a requirement when purchasing a ticket for an event
the car park is one of the biggest factors in how well the course should be rated
and being a "full kit w..ker" while spectating - added points for a folded glove in the back pocket
golfers hate a full English to begin the day and ham, eggs & chips post round

One of my friends has started saying "nice pick up" when I hit a shot. What the hell does that mean? I guess he can use this phrase for every shot that wasn't a fat/thin/shank, even if the ball has sliced off into the trees. Inane.

Probably said by a golf-influencer on Youtube.
Does that include golf shoes (with metal spikes) and fully clothed in one brand with matching cap to finish it off
That’s dedicated full kit w..nkery.

It is important to ring the 'We're clear' bell as loudly and for as long as you can to ensure that everyone across the golf course is fully aware,
