Seinfeld and Golf

[Medic]

I am a HUGE Seinfeld fan. Have seen every episode several times. Earlier today I was telling a co-worker about my round Sunday and used a Seinfeld quote because it really fit what happened. And it occurred to me - there are other Seinfeld fans on here. And it might be fun to see how you could tie a golf experience into a description that includes a famous quote from a Seinfeld episode.

 

Here was mine BTW....

 

There was a storm off in the distance and it was moving in slowly as we made the turn. The course was right on the ocean and this was only making things worse as the wind kicked up sand and you could tell that the weather was really about to turn bad. The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli. So we pressed on and barely finished before the skies opened up and it started raining so hard you couldn't see a foot in front of you. We had to rush a bit and I didn't shoot my best finishing score but I didn't get soaked either.

 

For those of us who love both the game and the show this might be interesting. : )

George saying "Jerry , it's not a lie if you believe it".

I'd say that is used on the golf course alot when writing down scores.

[bscinstnct]

Ha! Thats a great one.

 

I use a Sein quote prolly 10x a week.

 

For golf?

 

"I think made a big mistake!"

 

 

 

[Neverfadeaway86]

I think the most obvious one is " is that a Titleist ? talk about a hole in one ! "

[elwhippy]

As a Brit I just don't get Seinfeld at all. Curb Your Enthusiasm is even more baffling. Cannot imagine either playing Golf.

[CrushSticks]

I just always think of Kramer bursting in with his clubs yelling, "I stink Jerry!"

Watch this.

My wife and I always joke about ," You don't want to get married, it's a man made prison!!! You're doing time!! You wake up, she's there, you go to bed, she's there, oh and when you get home and want to eat dinner in front of the couch..... forget about that.... you know why?? Because at dinner you have to talk about your day!"

Rimming out on a two foot putt reminds me of the Soup Nazi episode . . . "No soup for You!!"

[Break81]

You can also use "Giddy up!" for just about anything good in golf. A good drive, great putt.... multi uses over 4.5 hours.

Birdie on # 1 and " IM OUT !!"

Great thread. I played with a solid foursome pretty much during all of the Seinfeld years.

 

 

Any Greens Keeper or maintenance guy was referred to as “Cousin Jeffrey.”

 

 

A very close buddy (named Larry) and I would often scrap our afternoon sales calls and go play golf. When paired with another twosome, we always introduced ourselves as “Murphy and O’Brien.”

 

(Lost Larry to cancer last year, too young to go, I miss that guy).

[Ferguson]

When two putts were about the same length, "It's not you......................... it's me."

 

 

When paired with a weird guy that talked too much, "a little too much chlorine in that gene pool."

 

 

Putts left a mile short were called "Mulvas."

[Wriggles]

Love the Seinfeld shows. My pal gave me a few sport coats last year, vintage stuff from the 1960's. One is a summer houndstooth, a bit lighter than the Kramer "Dr. Van Nostrand" coat, though. I enjoy wearing it, while sporting the longer stemmed Bing's Favorite pipe. Too bad, I threw out my Dad's 1940's ties after he passed.

 

Bought the wife a J. Peterman summer dress (on sale) earlier this summer. (Yes, there is a J. Peterman catalog.)

 

A Festivus miracle!

Some people just can’t hit a blade... not that there’s anything wrong with that.

The new TM irons - "they're real and they're spectacular".

 

This thread deserves a "Curb" follow up.

No it’s Seinfeld, it’s Kramer telling Jerry after Jerry got engaged. Then Jerry says, “I think I might have made a very big mistake !”

Reminiscent of the Chinese Restaurant Episode (Cartwright and Costanza).

 

Was on vacation one time and made 6 tee times the week prior - all with the same person, all on the same course and all at the same time.

 

All was good until day 4. I went to check in and they said, we have no Ferguson on the sheet at 8:26, but we do have Fendelson. I replied, “Fendelson – is that even a name?” I explained that I made 6 tee times and they must have punched in the wrong name…yada, yada, yada - they said I had to wait for Fendelson to NO SHOW before I could take their tee time.

 

Confused, I walked out to my wife and the couple we were with and said, “they have no Ferguson on the list?” Then, over the speaker they asked for Fendelson to come to the pro shop. My buddy’s wife said, “who is Fendelson.?” I replied, I am Fendelson.” My buddy chimed in, You’re not Fendelson.”

 

We laughed our butts off.

 

 

Fendelson never showed and we took his time.

It was cold and wet on the course, and there was significant shrinkage.

[Togatown22]

Never imagined I'd 'like' so many Ferguson's posts! Well done man; some of yours are real gems that I might borrow!

 

Whenever a buddy hits a squirrely one (duck hook snipe, huge slice, $hank, missed tap-in, etc) one of us will mutter: "...and you want to be my latex salesman..." in that slightly disgusted tone.

 

Classic thread here!

[bscinstnct]

How long are you going to take to hit this &%^$# putt?

 

Slow player says,

Went to college with Seinfeld though he wouldn't recognize me now if he ran over me with one of is 100 Porsches.

 

When I lived in Upper Manhattan my home course was Van Cortlandt Park where Kramer penalized the MLB player for cleaning his ball on the fairway which caused the player to murder Pinkus the dry cleaner.

 

On a particularly bad day on the course this always works:

 

"Serenity Now!"

[tarheelsfan105]

almost a page in and no mention of Pinkus....

 

Spoiler alert...Genderson killed Pinkus after Kramer enraged him (Genderson) on the golf course..."poor widdle Pinkus"

 

Ha, just noticed that the poster ^ mentions this

[deetsal]

Must be in fairway, the longest drive walks up to his ball, puts down their bag, turns the the other players and gives the rest a (an) "hellllllloooooo". The farther you are out front the others longer and louder is the hello. "It's either me or the "hello, Jerry".

Lots of awesome replies here. Can't help but wonder which one of you is a "Mimbo".

Step off dude... LOL!

Not a Mimbo, but I have re-gifted a dozen golf balls.

Just recalled a personal incident, reminiscent of a Seinfeld episode, regarding the leather jacket. I had bought a nice brown leather jacket at some point. Before I had my cataract surgery, the Doc (also my tax client) prescribed contacts. (A year before my surgery.) Anyhow, the day I picked up the contacts, (Doc had installed a pair) I wore the brown leather jacket, with a dress shirt and tie. I go into a Wendy's later that day, for a to go hamburger, and the clerk, a girl, maybe around 30, really starts flirting with me. I banter back and leave.

 

I didn't wear the jacket again, until a brother in laws funeral. Initially, I wore a jacket and tie, but being cold that day, I went home to get a heavier coat, before going to the church hall for the dinner. The BIL was a biker, so I figured I'd wear the leather jacket.

 

The widow was elated I "wore the leather in honor of Ron" and others complimented me also. The old ladies just buzzed around like flies. Missus was amused by it. (She knows I'll never make the same mistake twice.) One younger lady, told me I was getting younger. It was really funny.

 

I'm usually the twisted, hideous freak, like Kramer in his outdated coat and tie. "Look away, I'm hideous."

 

That leather jacket got me "Jerry status."

 

Never underestimate the power of a leather jacket.

 

Silly, but true.
