Shot terminology.

Posted by: user53582 | Mon 2nd Mar 2009 19:36 | Last Reply

I just read Drew Boyd's, "Hole in one blues" posted 8/12/2008, where someone calls a shot a "mole shagger" and also a mention of a "Sally Gunnel". My brother-in-law came up with a new one on me few weeks ago, a "prostitute shot". not very proud of it, but it did the job!!!

love these

Sally Gunnell - Its ugly but runs a long way

Paula ratcliffe - Bit better looking, runs further, then goes s*it at the end

Adolf Hitler - 2 in the bunker

A Fidell Castro putt - Just one more revolution needed.

a Russell Grant - Fat Iron

Pavarottis Jumper - A massive top

I like this one: -

Osama Bin Laden - Everyone knows where it went but you can't find the bugger anywhere

My favourite is the one named after Chris Perry... The Wet & Wild!!

I don't think an explanation is required

 Some of my lob wedges can be extremely anorexic or obese. Some golfers with terminal slices can be classed as a Damien Hirst ie can't draw. Those of us who have not mastered the short game can be categoried as the pop artist Adele ie likes a chip or two.

 Hang on a minute mine were all my own work, granted they're not as funny as Chris Watmore's.

This was actually said on air during the US PGA

US PGA Commentator - 'One of the reasons Arnie (Arnold Palmer) is playing so well is that, before each tee shot, his wife takes out his
balls and kisses them ..... Oh my god!! What have I just said??'

 classic

I need help thinking up a saying for this shot. I'll set the scene, a 75 yr old scottish man standing on the 2nd hole at the PGA, Belfry when a playing partner thins his wedge shot & hits him straight on the arse!!!!
