Course Language
Southern belles and Canadian golfers have something in common - thanks to their legendary politeness they don’t always say what they mean.
When a belle says “Bless your heart," what she really means, but is too polite to verbalize, is a show of disgust: “Oh my word! Darla’s showing again, that’s her eighth baby, oh bless her heart."
Canadian golfers may be too polite for outright trash talk on the course, but here’s a handy guide to what they’re really telling you.
1. Wow, you drove the green = Damn, when did you become a scratch golfer?
2. Is that a new driver? = Are you trying to buy a better game?
3. Guess I’m up again (strides into tee box) = Guess I’m still top dog.
4. Should I go ahead and hit? = Speed up will ya, you slow playing ninny!
5. How far do you usually hit your driver? = You should probably lay up.
6. Have you ever taken lessons? = Bro, you could really use some lessons.
7. I think the beer cart girl has a crush on you. = Stop hitting on the beer cart girl.
8. Sure, you're fine to hit driver here. = No way you’ll get through that dogleg.
9. It might open up over there. = That ball is a goner.
10. I play better after a beer. = Drinking makes my double bogeys feel like pars.
