What "sayings" do you use?

[DavidO]

Normally it's 'Did you see where that went?'...

 

[JustOne]

"Is it still me?"

 

[HawkeyeMS]

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

Oh yeah, I do say that quite a bit don't I

 

[Oddsocks]

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:

Everytime I hear bite I always think of Aztecs approach to the 18th at camberley last year, air mails the green, the run off must have hit the patio wall in front of the clubhouse and come to rest almost back on the green. He didnt say bite, it was a desperate plea to god, priceless!:rofl:

I'm guessing not after you got the shiny new Titleist bats today. How did the fitting go

Really good mate, will post tomorrow when I've rewritten it to be less Than 5000 words

I don't say much, but after I shanked a 4i just short of the trees today, and then couldn't find it, the air was a Bit blue. For 10 minutes. It was dark, no one about, but me, and I wasn't happy. Tourettes is nothing once I get going. Not happy, even now.

Why couldn't you find the 4 iron???

My favourite phrase - "Well done Dave - another three putt!"

 

[Imurg]

Normal expletives that can be heard Fridays at Aylesbury Park are..

"What's it doing over there?"
"Kick Left" or right and it always goes the other way
"That putt went uphill!"
"No-one likes to see that"
"Taxi" as a putt goes blistering by..
"I think you'll find that one" after a top from the tee
"Which hole are you going for?"
"Jeez, its down the middle" normally aimed at Fragger
"Well we really showed that hole who's Boss"

+ many many more...

 

[Oddsocks]

Imurg, taxi don't do some putts justice, often replicating a train horn makes the point ,uh more effectively , that " caution, express train approaching "

 

[connor]

"reload" semms to be said alot at the moment...

 

[richart]

I have been known to have the odd 'fism' on the greens. Feck it's still me.

 

[backwoodsman]

Going back to the ethos of the OP my saying whilst over the shot is "Just..... swing" at the appropriate rhythm. It's only after the ball moves that other thoughts are expressed.

But I do think at our place there must be a lot of birdwatchers - as half of them are always staring upwards shouting "tern, tern !!"

 

[DaveM]

Funny never talk or swear to/at myself on the course. May think it but never out loud. Maybe just "make the next one count" to myself sometimes.

 

[Region3]

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"

I'm guilty of "be the right club" even though I don't like it.

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:

Tiger Woods has to win the award for most futile use of the word 'bite' on a golf course... ever!

Other things I find myself saying...
"What are you doing out there?"
"Where's the wind?" (usually after I didn't allow for it but hit my shot wide by mistake)

 

[JustOne]

Probably the most common phrases in Sussex and Surrey are....


......... "is that another blob Smiffy"?


........ "go on Smiffy, pick it up".


........."are you hitting a provisional Smiffy?"


........."You knob!"

 

[Phil2511]

One we use is Be the Ball when it looks good in the air and you just want that ball to be the one that gets to the green and stay on target and be the ball close to the flag. Especially when we play superskins on our par 3 course.

 

[JustOne]

"Get there" is pretty common for me (normally under club thinking I can hit it miles) :angry:

 

[Phil2511]

Another one I forgot to say is "Get Down" when I hit one too hard to the green. Usually on a short pitch.

 

[Adi2Dassler]

I do think about my swing plane as I'm trying to get rid of the dreaded slice...'in to in' and 'tube of toothpaste' are my pre-shot thoughts.

followed by any combo of expletive already mentioned above.
