What "sayings" do you use?

I'm a bit of a commentator talking to my ball all the time, I've been known to say "Perfect" or "That's a ***** great shot the moment the ball leaves the club face. Playing foresomes I once told my mate not to miss the birdie putt as soon as I hit the ball, I can still remember the look on his face when it landed 3ft from the pin.

I also tell people that they don't paint pictures on scorecards when they get away with a shot

I'm more use to hearing the dulcit tones off f*** off Stannard resonating around the hallowed turf as you miss another green or hit your coustomary shank per round.

Personally I just tend to talk myself through the shot and probably do it alone and in company although I'm not sure. I know we have a guy we nickname Tourettes as he can't manage a sentence on the course without an expletive usually about his game
 
Normally I say... "I wish I could shoot 10 shots under my handicap
The H/C at the bottom of my post is a bit of a false one ATM. Due to work commitments at the weekends I didn't get to play any comps over the last 4 or 5 months so the H/C has never dropped. Ive got a few comps planned over the next few months so that my H/C is more realistic by the time the big comps come around.
 
When I play foursomes I always tell my partner not to bother walking forward when I am driving, as I either will not reach him, or he will be playing 3 off the tee.:o
 
Normally mine is, "where the f*** is that going ??"

I'm not a fan of the "be the right club", "be right baby" after or good shot, or, after a bad shot, "hit it wind", "come round now"
 
Another saying that came in handy whilst playing a Texas Scramble with Swinger. 'Don't think I will bother driving this hole' after he had hit another bomb 300 yards down the fairway.:whistle:
 
Played on my lonesome this morning. A particularly strange round with a 4 over front 9 and a 2 under back 9.. However, when I got into the clubhouse, one of the guys who was playing a couple of holes in front asked me if I knew that I was chatting to myself all through my pre-shot routine.. Looking back now, I realized that I regularly use a couple of sayings to build up to the swing.

Anyhoos, what, if any, do you use??

if a guy playing 2 holes in front of you heard your comments, are you sure you were just "chatting" ?? maybe you were releasing more tension than you were aware of and perhaps should make an appointment to see someone soon.

anyway - my usual comment is "another bl--dy Scargill - good strike, poor result"
 
I only talk to myself after a bad shot. I never ever go 'Woohoo', 'Awesome', I'm the man' or 'Yeah!'. The odd 'be right' when it's in the air might slip out but that is for the benefit of the ball. I do, however tend to talk a load of rubbish in the bar afterwards.

I think that he saw me speaking to myself rather than heard it.. I hope so anyway..

I don't talk to the ball after the shot either, I do however lean in the general direction I want the ball to turn.. Usually right....
 
The guy I was playing with last week kept saying "bite!" on every feckin' shot he hit apart from his drives... it got so irritating in the end I thought we might as well include those too... in a bizarre twist of fate he didn't appear to see the funny side...

:rofl:

:rofl: cracks me up how often people shout "sit" at a ball they've thinned a country mile through the green !

But when you've used your handicap by the 6th hole in the medal you'll resort to anything
