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?

the rare birdies I make are usually followed by an ABFUS.

[Philip Gawith]

Most of them are in pretty poor taste for a family site:
-  A "mother-in-law" refers to an ugly shot that has got to the green ("up there, but it shouldn't be");
- A "Sally Gunnell" is a rather cruel reference to a Olympic winning UK athlete who is not the greatest looker, and is used for an ugly shot that runs like hell.

[Brad Klein]

As a Mets fan, I am always reminded of how cruel sports talk can be when someone hits a "Thurman Munson" - a dead yank.

[Jim_Coleman]

   I have two:
       "Son in Law"  -  Not what I had in mind, but it will do.

       Observation:  "I've been in more bunkers than Eva Braun."

"Lewinski" - a putt that was all lip, no hole

[mike_malone]

 Playing at Portstewart in late 90's---hit a 3 wood 20 yards in the air that rolls on dried turf onto the green 200 + yards away---- caddie says  " That's an OJ!"  

   Pause for effect     " Got away with it!"

[Rob_Waldron]

The "Mongolian Reversal" occurs in match play when you suddenly lose a hole that you thought you would definitely win. This can happen when your opponent makes a long putt and you three putt.

A saying often heard on the courses in the Philly area is "Get Go". That putt slid left right from the get go.

"The stump" was a term used often in Florida. The Stump means that you have honors on the tee. Such as "Nice birdie pards, we finally get the stump back."

[Mike_Golden]

Here's a few:

Venezuala for a putt that stops just short of the hole-'one more revolution'

Dionne Warwick-a pulled or hooked drive from #9 at Lake Merced that winds up on I-280 South-'next stop, San Jose'-Andy Pettitte hit 3 of them consecutively the day I played with him a few years ago (of course, they were sliced since he's a lefty).

and, finally, the most politically incorrect one of all time, even worse than the OJ (and one I made up):

Sonny Von Bulow-a putt that is 'sleeping but not dead'

[Scott_Burroughs]

Marv Albert:  A shot with a lot of bite

Aiming Fluid:  Alcoholic beverage consumed while playing, often purchased from the...

Quench Wench:  beer cart girl

Captain Kirk:  A shot that goes where no man has gone before

Johnny Cochran:  A shot that must be played from such a terrible lie that only O.J.'s lawyer can save you

[Tony_Chapman]

FISO - F***, I'm still out.  

Chinese shot - "Way long."

[Dave Kemp]

"Slip a ritz under that"  meaning the ball should be marked to be putted out instead of being a "gimmee"

A score of 10    is called a moose.  Put your thumbs to each side of your head and wiggle your fingers to indicate 10 strokes.  You should get the picture.  

A score of 7 is sometimes called a hockey stick here in Canada.

[Daryl "Turboe" Boe]

The Lewinski mentioned above we call a "Prom Putt" for the same reason all lip and no hole.

When a friend runs a putt way too hard into the back of the cup that pops up in the air and falls in..."Nice putt Shaq!"

When your friend is teeing up his third ball after hitting two into some bad situation, remind him of the name for the third ball...
"The first ball is your ball in play....
The second ball is a provisional...
do you know what the third ball is called?

... that's a sleeve!"

[Tim Taylor]

I'm fond of song lyric/band name references. Here are a few of my favorites:

A bold shot that just barely avoids trouble is a "Molly Hatchet" - (reference their classic song "Flirtin' With Disaster")

A short putt missed to the right is a "Salt N Pepa" (everybody remembers their 1980s hit "Push It Real Good", right?)

I've got more. My wife tells me I will only speak in song lyrics by the time I'm 50.

"Sonya" from an Irish caddy. Not very pretty to look at but will run a long way.

Named after Ireland's long distance Olympic runner Sonya Sullivan

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

To a ball that does a three sixty and refuses to drop.

"She had it in her mouth and her mother walked into the room."

[Rob_Waldron]

A ball not quite within gimme range is "Just outside the friendship circle"

[Kyle Harris]

Junior Prom: All lip and nothing in the hole.

[Rick Baril]

"Japanese hook"  (a Slice)

[Kyle Harris]

Cary,

That's a whole other list that the caddies at Lookaway developed.

"Heard on the golf course, but not in the bedroom."

[wdaspin]

"Condom shot"

It's safe, it just didn't feel very good.

[James Bennett]

"adolf Hitler"

two in a bunker!

[egundeck]

A popped up tee shot is an "elephants rectum" - high and stinky
