> Never phased by missing the green, as I usually comment to my wife, my playing partner, as it's "**just a chip and a putt** (away from par)". I say that so much, and often convert, that even she's saying it now. Or when I complain about being off the green, she'll say something like "what's the matter, remember "it's just a chip and a putt"!!

 

My good friend who I grew up playing with in high school, was given "Pitch and a Putt" as a middle name by a guy we used to play against since he did it so often...His first and last name also started with a P.

[Pete O'Tube]

Instead of saying the sh..k word, I use 'Chinese Hook'. Because saying sh..k just encourages more of them to suddenly appear.

One time, a buddy--who was NOT trying to needle me--said, "Just a chip and 2 putts from there." And we all paused and looked at him. Then all started laughing. It was a candid, inadvertent insult about my short game. Of course, the rest of the round, there was a lot of "Just a chip and 3 putts from there for you..."

[BogeyUh_FindsaWay]

The opposite of "just a chip and a putt", I have a buddy that if he hits a good approach when we play a match and he tries to act like the hole is decided, I just say "you can 3 putt from anywhere".

[Birdyjuice]

My wife and i played with an old man once, he fatted a wedge so bad and immediately yells "Oh Fat Titty". We were on the other side of the fairway in our cart, we looked at each other and started busting out laughing. A hole or so later and he does it again "Oh Fat Titty" and then a third time. The only thing is, on the third time we were close enough to hear that he was actually saying "Oh fat city". So now a chunk is affectionately known as a "fat titty".

"BERMUDA!!"

 

Many years ago, a buddy and I decided we had enough of Winter and did a last minute late February weekend skip off to Bermuda to play a few rounds in some warmth. We found CHEAP accommodation (not so easy to find anymore) and air fares and off we went. First round was about an hour off the plane at the Par 3 course at what is now I think The Fairmont. In the Pro Shop there was a small index card stuck to the counter. It read something along the lines of "If your ball lips out more than 90*, it defy's the laws of physics since all of the ball was in or above the hole, therefore that putt counts". We had a good chuckle with the guy and off we went. Wouldn't you know that almost immediately within 3 holes we had 2 lip outs between us.

Next day it was off to Play at The Belmont. They didn't have a similar sign,though. Sometime during that round I had a real lip spinner... In my state of disbelief I yelled "BERMUDA!!!" and it has kind of stuck since then.

 

(Oh, we don't count them these days- it's just fun to yell "BERMUDA") We've kind of had a lot of fun with it these days- A putt that is less than a 90* might be a "BAHAMA", one that just bobbles on the edge as it goes by could be a "HAITI!".

 

So if you're playing on a public course on Long Island and you hear "BERMUDA!!!", now you'll know why!

Let'r rip. Don't chili dip. (I think I invented that one)

Lately I've been playing with a couple buddies and we have this ongoing joke that if one of us its a poor shot, one of the others will say, "That'll play". In other words - no breakfast balls - get your butt out there and hit it again...

Me and my buddies call a thinned shot that goes skimming through the fairway a "worm-burner"

When my dad or brother are bragging about a good shot or needling me about a bad one, I'll sniff the air and say, "that's funny, I don't smell anything, but I hear a bunch of bull$h!t."

[Polly509109]

One of my buddies after hitting a bad putt, will say”how’d that stay out”. An when he makes one... he usually says that was just a waste of daylight boys!

[DLev45]

Two shots that land right beside each other - "I haven't seen two balls that close together since my morning shower."

Two shots in the same bunker - "are we/y'all talking orders from Hitler?"

Putt blown 10 feet past the hole - "played with the finesse of John Henry."

Straight at the pin, but short of the green - "straight as my pecker and just as short."

"You know why they call it golf? Because (insert 4-letter expletive here) was already taken!"

Player still out after a stroke - "That's a USGA shot - You Suck, Go Again."

For those shots where you end up way better than you should, like a skulled wedge, or topped drive ... 'sister-in law' (because you know you shouldn't be there)

ill never forget the 1st time we played with a new guy years ago who is now in our regular group and we were looking for my tee ball in the rough...he was in a different cart and he rides back and points to ball and says “ you’re fine. It’s sitting up like a wedding d**k.”

[averysdad]

And how could I forget FUAB...when you go bogey or worse on a hole right after you had a birdie on previous hole. F**k up after birdie. ?
