What you hate to hear out on the course?

What phrase really niggles you which you hear out on the course?

One of mine has to be "unlucky", especially when you miss a short putt.

I think unless it's hit a spike mark or a bald eagle has swooped down and stolen your ball then there was nothing unlucky about it, it was just a bad stroke applied to the golf ball.

After you hit a screamer don the middle on a blind tee shot, to then not be able to find your ball, and your partner says

"Well it looked good in the air"

Not related to humans at all but currently the pheasant on my course. Strutting around the course like they own it and screeching loud enough to wake the dead, normally just as you start the down swing. I had to wait for two to finish having a square go on the fringe of our 8th green last week.

And no, delicious or not, I'm not cramming a freshly slain pheasant into my bag.

Traffic!

You should not hear traffic from the golf course! That's wrong.


(I also hate hearing Fabian's voice as that means I got the short straw again!)

Bandit.

As applied to my playing partner more often than myself, but sometimes me also. If I'm a bandit and we just halved after 18 holes then by that rationale you are a bandit.

Hate hate hate the word, sour grapes. If someone plays below their handicap to beat me I'll shake their hand and say great golf, the last thing I'll do is stand at the bar and say "watch that bandit".

We tend to hear **** *** Stannard resonating across the course as the above plays out. I was on the 3rd tee and Mike was on the 7th green (about 60 yards away) and had clearly blobbed (not his favourite hole

That has been quite prevelent the last couple of weeks I'll grant you that. If you're talking about the medal last weekend, that was actually a bogey, what you heard was in response to a 3-putt with a hint of a hangover from the 7 I had just made on the par 3 6th :D
