Part Deux

• Unleash the Kraken– swing as hard as one can with the driver (often with poor result) *see waffle housed*
• Waffle Housed- scattered, smothered and covered (hashbrown options). usually associated with hook. example: smother hooked
• Kenobi- as in out of bounds/OB.  “that shot went kenobi” Obi Wan Kenobi
• Brosnan’d- as in good shot, nice trajectory- “I Pierced that one”
• Skulled– hit poorly, low on the face of the club. Poor result. Opposite of Brosnan’d

 

• Flush/Flushed- to hit a shot in the sweet spot or center of the club face
• Skins game- typical wager for a round of golf amongst friends. All sorts of colorful variations to add more confusion when tallying skins at the end of the round. see below:
• Greenie- having your shot end up closest to the hole in a skins game. typically on par 3s, but can also be implemented on par 5s. Then you must validate
• Validate- to win a greenie in a skins game,  you must get down in 2 putts or less. Example: hitting it closest to the hole on a par 3, then 2 putting for par, you’ve  validated. 3 putt for bogey? No greenie for you

• Sandy- getting up and down from a bunker in regulation. Used in skins game
• In the screws- to hit a shot in the center of club face. to really hit it well
• Maximum “maimage”- to really hit a drive hard, with all you have
• Smoked- usually associated with driver. hit the drive very far, bombed it, unleashed the Kraken, tattooed it. could also refer to a well struck iron shot
• Sunday Best– As in I hit that ball as far or as well as I could
• Apple sauced- double crossed your swing- trying to hit a fade and you hit a hook. Criss cross apple sauce
• As seen on TV– what you say to your playing partners after an amazing shot you execute
• Goat hump– loss of tush line and/or spine angle during one’s downswing. Can often result in next “shot” on the list
• Shank– the WORST term on list. hitting the ball on the hosel of the club, usually associated with iron shots. example: an 8 iron intended to go straight around 140 yards. instead travels 20 to 30 yards at basically a right angle from where you are aiming. Akin to nails on a chalk board. Salt on an open wound. “7 out” at the craps table (if betting pass line). Not a shot you EVER want to hit. Not even allowed to be vocalized during a round.
