There's no longer a whole lot taking place within the international of golf this week... And it's now not simply within the seasoned world. Whether you have fun Christmas or not, there are family celebrations of various sorts happening all over the international... And New Year's Eve is coming up in less than every week. It's hard to find time to squeeze in some holes.
But we're all still thinking about golf, aren't we? Even if we can't get out and play because relatives -- or perhaps a couple of feet of snow -- are visiting, we can still dream about it. Well, I found something that could help you sound better next time you tee it up with your friends.
I found Golf Magazine's new Golfer's Dictionary. You can check it out at this link; it contains 45 slang terms you may or may not have heard. Here are a few of my new faves:
- Abominable Snowman noun a 9 on your scorecard, worse than a snowman "8"
- Alec Guinness noun a shot that’s O.B. Wan Kenobi
- Amelia Earhart noun a tee shot that looks great taking off and then just disappears
- Captain Kirk noun a wayward shot that goes where no ball has ever gone before
- Christmas Present noun a ball that lands under a tree (definitely a cool term!)
- Concheat verb to concede a putt that your buddy has no chance of making in exchange for him conceding a putt that you have no chance of making (e.g. "They concheated their 8-foot putts.")
- Cuban Putt noun putt that stopped just short of the hole (i.e., needed one more revolution)
- Get the Waitress verb telling your approach shot to “Check, please!”
- Men’s Warehouse noun when your partner sticks his approach (i.e., “You’re going to like the way you look”)
Best of all, next time I go all Linda Ronstadt on my partners, I'll be sure to gloat.
