Translation = “I GOT A BIRDIE! I GOT A BIRDIE! This is going on my CV.This post was updated in January 2022, and will continue to updated throughout the year as more bags are released and we get the chance to test them. On leaving an Eagle Putt just short: “Hit it for God’s sake!” Translation = “Having hit my ball straight into a bunker from a great height, I was hoping to defy physics and get lucky with a perfect lie.” On getting a plugged lie in a bunker: “I can’t believe it’s plugged…these new bunkers are such a joke!” Translation = “ I started that right and with my usual 40 yards of slice and there isn’t a golf course on earth I’d score well on today.” Translation = “I GOT BACKSPIN! I have no idea how I did it but I GOT BACKSPIN!”Īfter slicing another one into the trees: “This is a drawer’s golf course.” Translation = “Absolutely buttoned it, couldn’t hit it any better and after waiting for the green to clear for 10 minutes I need an excuse…quick!”Īfter hitting the ball 50 yards short of the driveable par-4 in winter: “I’d have got there with a bit of run in the summer the fairways are so soggy!”Īfter pitching it 40 feet short of the hole with 1 foot of backspin: “I was really hurt by the spin on that one.” Translation = “I couldn’t care less what you do for work but four hours is a long time not to talk to someone.”Īfter hitting the ball 50 yards short of the driveable par-4 in summer: “That gust of wind came out of nowhere!” Translation = “I really don’t want you to find this golf ball…can’t I just have the hole?”ĥ0 yards up the 1 st fairway after teeing off with someone you only just met: “So what do you do for work then?” While trying to help your matchplay opponent find their golf ball in the tall rough: “You’d have to stand on it to find it in this stuff.” Translation = “I can’t read greens to save my life.” Translation = “I just can’t hit a driver.”Īfter a 10 foot putt misses the whole by a mile: “How the hell does that putt break uphill?” When explaining yet another snap hook into the cabbage: “I just can’t hit this driver. Translation = “He outplayed me all day, fully deserved the win and I can’t putt for toffee.”Īfter hitting an approach shot into the trees at the back of the green: “I got a massive flyer.” When explaining your matchplay loss to the team captain: “He just couldn’t miss a putt.” Translation: “How the hell did he just knock it past me?!” When the “big hitter” who’s obsessed with how far he hits it gets outdriven for the 1 st time in the round: “That came so far out of the heel I almost missed the ball!” Translation = “My par down the last was the first one of the day I only hit two fairways, missed most of the greens and couldn’t hole a putt to save my life.” When you’re in the clubhouse explaining your most recent + 0.1: “I played well, I just didn’t score.” When you partner misses a tap in for a half down the 18th: “Hard luck.” Translation = Golfer 1 – “I hope you hack it around and run out of golf balls.” Golfer 2 – “And I you.” When shaking hands on the first tee: Golfer 1 – “Play well mate.” Golfer 2 – “Yes, have a good game.”
TIME TO GOLF AND STUFF HOW TO
Translation = “I have no idea how to hit bunker shots.” When your matchplay opponent holes a 10 footer for a half: “Well in.”Īfter your playing partner takes three shots to escape from a bunker: “There’s no sand / too much sand in this bunker.” To clear things up a bit, we thought we’d knock up a little glossary of things golfers say and what they REALLY mean!
Some golfers talk the talk even when they aren’t walking the proverbial walk and most of the time the golfing jargon that comes out of their mouths certainly isn’t 100% honest. It’s fair to say that, while on the course, golfers speak a language that would be unfamiliar to pretty much everybody else on the planet a language that can only be learned through years of toiling away on the fairways, trying to get a ridiculously small ball into an even smaller hole!
