What oft repeated phrase or idea gets on your nerves?

[Scotty1140]

"That putt was left all the way"

If they missed on the left, then yes, it was obviously left all the way.

[kellygreen]

The "mind-virus" that really got on my nerves while Tiger was going through the worst part of this most recent swing change was:

[i]Tiger's done. He's an 'old' thirty-_____. Now's the time for the young guys. They aren't intimidated by him. [/i]

[chiguy]

Agreed on the whole, "players aren't intimidated by Tiger anymore" phrase. Sure, he's not as much of an imposing figure as he once was, but you can't tell me they are no longer intimidated by the guy. I'm sure the best of the rest still fear him. Maybe not like they used to, but they still do.

[KMeloney]

When a pro is chipping from a spot just off the green near the hole: "He's trying to make this one..."

Thanks for clearing that up.

"Metalwood" irks me to no end, too.

[Tim Meitner]

"Smoke in the sky and fire in the air...."

"better than most"

"this is makeable" no sh**!

[Stretch]

Player swings so far right the club almost hits his back ankle. Ball crosses well left. Announcer, almost inevitably: "Yeah, he came over the top on that one."

[avrag]

Any mentioning of the FedEx Cup Standings prior to August 10th.

[Gotblades]

"That being said..."
"Having said that..."
"At the end of the day...."
"It is what it is..."
"I wanted to reach out to you..."
"Vertical Market..."

And many, many more.

not if theres a 2 foot break lol

[that70sshow]

I got tired of hearing about Brandt Snedeker's "pop stroke" over the last year or so. I dunno why, but every time I hear that term, I get irritated.

[Shrapnac]

"Rickie Fowler looking stylish as always."

I've come to the conclusion that golf announcers are color blind.

Good golfer, seems like a nice kid but fluorescents should be used sparingly.

Ball falls off the tee. Someone says "that's one".

[bscinstnct]

Chase it down the line

3 metal

Baby draw

Little cut shot

[TMadigolf]

I think NBC is the worst with the little phrases...

"Less than driver"
"This just earlier"
"It grabbed the hosel"
"I was putting this putt earlier on"
And the one that makes me grind my teeth the most is them using the word "some" as a qualifier of distance
" this putt from SOME 40 ft."
" this shot plays SOME 20ft uphill"
" this putt is gonna break SOME 4 ft."

I get a good chuckle durring the broadcasts

"Sand iron"

[MizzyMan]

Baby fade and Baby draw. Saw that yahoo Hack on GC where they were hitting off concrete. Says he he hit a little "baby fade". Damn thing went dead right. I've hit shanks that went straighter.

And also "these young guys aren't intimidated by Tiger anymore". Yeah, we'll see. When his swing sucked and he was injured, maybe so. Watch 'em wilt if he's leading at Augusta on Sunday.

Ye Yang wasn't intimidated, neither was Angel (twice) nor Trevor Immelman nor Zach Johnson. All pre injury.

But Yeah there will be some that still are, and they have no business in competition fwiw...

[TMadigolf]

Oh just thought of another one that drives me nuts. "He's not afraid to go low". No kidding, 1st off that's the point, 2nd it's not like someone's gonna rough 'em up if they do dare go low.

[mukster]

"inferior equipment"

[Brock Savage]

I haven't heard it as often this year, but not very long ago a lot of announcers (like IBF) liked to use "paces" as a unit of distance, as in, "The hole is just four paces from the edge of the green."

That drives me nuts, because I have no idea what he means. If he means yards, why not just say yards? A pace can not only vary from person to person, but even worse, when it is standardized, it can either mean 30 inches or five feet.

[Dpavs]

On putts that roll 2 feet by the hole...

"Not enough pace (speed) on it"

I wonder if it ever occurs to them that maybe he just missed or misread the freaking line?

[PedronNiall]

Discussions about the adjustment period for new equipment regarding a certain 20-something golfer.

Commenting on Keegan Bradley's "intensity"; the man would be a serial killer if he weren't golfing, that much seems evident.

They say paces all the time on the ET coverage. Actually a decent bit on PGA broadcasts as well.

I can't stand Gary Koch. Maybe in his shoes I would have stayed up all night thinking of something to say over and over drowning out my colleagues when Tiger was about to hole a dramatic shot, but I'm not him.

You'll have to describe (a link?) the cabbage patch dance since I have no idea what that is. Speaking of cabbage, why don't you go over to the overrated foods thread and trash people for having opinions there too.

[Vindog]

I didn't care about the "better than most" until they replayed it every damned chance they could plus made it a regular part of the cutaway montage.

uggh

[Geo]

For me, there's two biggies (three if you count "irregardless"). Firstly, [b]any[/b] words that come from the gallery. And secondly, the phrase, "it is what it is."

[DigDugDig]

"That was a great [b]GOLF[/b] shot"

"Lean-in trap draw"

[lumberman2462]

I hate it when players say, "I just have to play my game."
