Pronunciation - Golf words

[RJRJRJ]

Pro tip: Whenever im not sure how to pronounce a brand name (or any other name for that matter), I go to youtube and look for a video from the manufacturer or one that features a rep/authority on the word and listen to how they pronounce it.


And based off this, its Loo-poled.

We don't call a #1 Wood, a Driver Wood/Metal, it's a Driver.

Thanx for the

When you hit the "Big Dog" or whatever you call it, you are going to drive the ball.

How are you driving the ball today?

I am going to try to limit my three putts. I am going to avoid three putting.

Seems there are lots of "ings" in our game that don't apply in the Queen's English but we still use them. Heck, we even add "ing" to the word game - "What are you gaming there?"

I cannot imagine trying to learn American-English. Seems we make things up as we go along.

Lagavulin? Auchentoshan? Laprohaig? Balvenie?

Pretty sure I butcher these when ordering. Any help is greatly appreciated.

All fabulous whiskies for sure, and I just finished 3 fingers of Lagavulin.

The whole thread brings to mind and expression:
You can tune a piano but you can't tune a fish.

I find it hilarious when people I know pronounce Titleist "t**-leist" as in "t**" and "heist" with an L. I'd go on to say that most people from Finland think that's the way you pronunce it.

We used to jab a kid that called an Odyssey Rossie a "Rose-y" putter not a "ross-y." Haha. Also heard a few say "Scotty Camera-oon." Like the country Cameroon or the pastry. Also, it is "Title-ist" not "Tittly-ist." I think guys just like to say t**.

I say Shricks-on, Nip-on, an Mee-Yur-uh. That dang XXIO though, I say "X-x-I-o" but I know it can be said, like "Zecks-ee-oh" or something.

Alas, it's been hashed out before. http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/105349-pronunciation-of-manufacturer-names/

My wife married a man, not a pushover.

I would do far worse in that department by being submissive and subservient, she prefers fire not obedience.



Besides...

What's the worse that happens... I don't lose out on 3 minutes of sleep and I feel that much more refreshed for my 6am Tee Time...

Somewhat golf related, but over here people pronounce Nike wrong most people call it "Nike" as you'd call someone Mike.
