Golf Lingo

This blog is brought to you by frequent contributor/commenter Fives Timmy

Fans are known to shout out sayings once a Pro player has hit their shot, common shout outs like “TIGER” or “YOU DA MAN” or “GET IN THE HOLE” has now been replaced by new ingenious things like “MASHED POTATOES” or “BALONEY SANDWICHES”.  But for a sport centered on silence, fans aren’t the only ones talking to the air born projectile.  Players talk to that little magical dimpled ball and have other ridiculous sayings once it leaves the face of the club, as if that will have any impact on what the ball actually does.

Here are a few examples of some golf lingo, feel free to comment and add your own:

·         Bite!

·         Spit it!

·         Cut!

·         Go you son of a *&%#!

·         Hit the putt you Sally!

·         Grab an edge!

·         BREAK!

·         Come on wind!

·         Be the right club TODAY!!

·         Heads up, this could go anywhere

·         Right swing, wrong club

·         I’m pin high, if I just hit that straight that would have been perfect

·         Get up!

·         Get down!

·         Get legs!

·         Bite like Tyson!

·         Hit the hill!

·         Roll you bastard!

 

·         One Time!*

·         Release!

·         Stop!

·         Run!

·         Hit the pin!

·         GO, GO, GO, GO!

·         GET IN THE HOLE!

·         DISAPPEAR!
