Calling Shinnecock Hills "Shinny"

For some reason this really gets on my nerves. You see it mostly from the print golf journalists as opposed to the TV guys. I mean, are they too lazy to type out the extra nine letters? Is it to sound hip? At next years Masters are they going to be talking about the extra length added to "Gussie?" Now get off my lawn.

Just be thankful that they don't call it "the c0ck"

Be more thankful they don't call it "skinny"...

Okay, youda.

I pointed this out 2 weeks ago when "someone" posted "Shinny" twice in one sentence. In that case, I think he was trying to make it sound as if he was familiar with the club, maybe trying to "give the impression" he had played there.

It's text talk.

That's kinda lame, I agree

Maybe it is shinny? What kind of grass do they have ? Is this New York slang ? As in “ hey yo Tony , Youse Eva play ova at shinny “?

Isn't a "shinny" a pick up hockey game? Greens should be slick then.

I love the threads we get during majors, because we get to learn a lot about what all of our members hate

What are the chances that the guy who called it ''Shinny'' twice in one sentence also wears mandals and may or may not have a man bun?

Pretty low, I'd imagine.

Yeah, Im thinking like 80 to 1.

Almost as annoying as those calling Baltusrol "Balty" a few years back.

Course nicknames be like,

St. Andrewski

Pebble Beachinator

McGusta

Pretty please with ice cream on top don't use these nicknames.

I'm goin full on Chevy Chase in Fletch and callin it Shinnycocktoastin.

Nobilo puts a lot of emphasis on the trail end of ShinneCOCK ... that is disconcerting

Probability is high. I repeat, probability is high.

By the way - played at a public track two weeks ago. We got a golf cart with a bent front wheel - it had a terrible "shinny" at higher speeds.

Why would anyone pass up the opportunity to say c0ck as much as they want this weekend? I know I won't. My CPS (or cocks per sentence, for the layman) will be at an all-time high.

Not for nothing, but the club’s official twitter handle is @shinnysHills.

It sure is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinny Essentially a casual pick-up game with no pads/checking. However, I'm not sure how this translates to this weekend..?

Sounds like a headliner at the jiggly room ; )

Im guessing @therealS.c0ck was taken?

Odds this thread goes more pages than the St. Jude thread?

Shinnecock Hills was officially founded in 1891.

Twitter was officially founded in March of 2006.

There is a good probability that "Shinny" is a relatively new term coined by those who prefer to type than talk.

Yes, and hairspray gets ink out of dress shirts.

I’ll be that guy.

I wouldn’t call it Shinny out of respect for the native Shinnecock people and their burial lands upon which the course is built.

Not trying to be PC or anything - you can call the course what you want - but I’ll err on the side of being overly respectful vs not.

by the way it's not the US open, traditional name was the National Open.

Shinnnyyyyy
