When your opponent hits a bad shot (or putt) bringing you back in the hole it's a  Jesse Jackson"keep hope alive"

[Jim Thompson]

Ok a quiz:

Leaving a birdie putt short is like 'a faint heart never wooed a woman'...

I'll start a new one... being Danica'd, or being outdriven by the woman in your 4some.

[Gerry B]

an english mulligan- which is 3 off the tee

the love grass - which is fescue or other tall grass - heard this term for the first time from a caddie at Lahinch after an errant tee shot- i asked why they called it that to which he replied - no matter where your ball ends up you are f**ked

newfie layup - dribbling a tee shot so badly that it does not make it past the front tee box - you have to be Canadian to appreciate this one

[Tony_Muldoon]

Blonde Bombshell


said in admiration for a good drive, as in


.....a fair crack down the middle.

[Mike Vegis @ Kiawah]

Bipsic -- short for "Ball in pocket, sitting in cart."  This usually happens after quoting Roberto Duran -- "No mas."

[Scott_Burroughs]

Mike,

I've heard BIPSIC as "sulking in cart", which usually
followed a Captain Kirk or a snowman, etc.

[RJ_Daley]

Did you ever hit one of those towering tee balls that just seems to stay up there in the high wind currents forever, and you are trying to work it into the right position while the wind is uncertain, not too strong, a bit crossing, but not exacty consistent from one direction.  While the ball is in long flight, you love it, you hate it, you love it again, you go through about 5 stages of emotion hoping for a good outcome when the ball finally comes down and settles.

What would you call that?

How about a Mucci-Paul?

[RJ_Daley]

Have you ever heard a pro pleading for a shot to "get into the bunker"?  I'd call that a Naccarato...

[Jason Topp]

My new ones:

Sutton Bay - golf in the snow
Minneapolis - golf in the rain

[RJ_Daley]

My course is a Donner Pass party - had severe winter kill...

His playing status is FAOSIC - freezing ass off, sitting in cart,
or
he made a Sutton Bay Hartman - snowman 8 on the card.

[Brad Tufts]

When your ball goes off the planet, you have hit an AMF....."Adios Mother F***er!!"

and a favorite of a college buddy of mine....when the ball curves around the hole, then balls in the other side, it's a "backdoor no baby"

[Rob_Waldron]

Jim Thompson

Are you going to post the results of your quiz???

[Jim Thompson]

Sorry for the delay Rob.  Thanks for bringing it back up.

Answers-

Jedi Master-  A ball that is an O.B. one.

Anna ball- A putt that goes about six feet past from the anabolic steroids.

Neil Diamond-  After being hit, all you can say is "Come back again."

Hillary- A ball that is more than a little to left, ussually needing some type of aide.

David Duke- A ball struck so far right it's offensive.

Piglet- A ball which balloons on "a very blustery day"

Panocha- A short putt, from the Spanish term.

Livingston- A ball found out in the jungle.  Dr. Livingston I presume.

Honey you don't look fat after the baby- A very tough lie.

Pavin Special- Killed off the tee but only goes 230.

Tootsie Roll- Famed for the left eye dominate putter, who after striking says repeatedly, "to the left, to the let,"

Ayatolah- From the phrase - the Ayatolah of Blockarolla!


Cheers!

We call our occasional mulligans Nixons as in: we deny it ever happened.

[Marty Weinberg]

Today my opponent was lying 7 and reached down to pick up his putt and I  told him, in that I am from Kentucky,  that his putt was a "KFC"(there is still a little chicken on that bone) so he putted and made it for a "snowman"(an . On the next hole I had an "Otis Elevator"(up and down) because I drained a "Nelson Rockafeller"(dead in the hole). There is so much of this type of "lingo" on the golf course,e.g. "Linda Rondtstat"(blew by you), "Rock Hudson"(looks straight, but goes both ways), "Bob Barker"(come on down) , etc.  What is your favorite?

Get Ed Baker to respond.  He's got a million of them and you've never heard of any of them.  How about a cart hummer

How bout a Sinn Fein for a provisional ball.  Referencing the political wing of the Irish Provisional Army (IRA) or Provos.  Of course Sinn Fein is often shortened to Shinner making the connection even more obscure.

Ciao

For a drive not hit off the sweet spot but manages to get good roll and distance. "It was ugly, but had big t*ts !"

[Allan Hutton]

F**k You!

a.k.a Fescue.

[Paul Carey]

When your opponent plays a shot and is still away:

U.S.G.A.: "U Suck Go Again"

[Mickey Boland]

A shot hit off the heel.  An Oral Roberts.  A "heeler".

[Rob_Waldron]

Paul

Did you get that from the ladies at the "Gyle?

How about a dyslexic read of a putt when you read it to go one direction and it goes the other direction.

[Steve Wilson]

Heard this one a long time ago

[Mike_Cirba]

A "Duran" - Any short game shot knocked well past the hole referencing the "Hands of Stone" of the legendary boxer Roberto Duran, not our friend Lou.

[Stuart Donald]

We have a few that relate to the desert golf we play and the game called Safari.

Dophin - last person in the water
Ferret - chip in (must be performed with a chipping instrument)
Snail - in the desert
Golden ferret - chip in from the bunker
Bear - last person in the rough
Snake - three putt
Spotted Mongoose - shot played with one foot in bunker
Scorpion - last person in the rough
Par from trouble like water or desert is called negation and saves you money
Birdie from trouble is called reversal and reverses the money

Several more associated with this game that cant be repeated or have lost the origins and are just accepted as the norm...

Sounds good when you analyse the game afterward
