Terms you want announcers to stop using

Ball striker

 

Everyone on Tour is a good ball striker or they wouldn't be there!

[Vindog]

We have freedom of speech in this country, bruh

My answer is "He plays a game with which I am not familiar" when used for anyone other than the player it was originally said about.

[mukster]

A "five par" or "Four par" when refering to par 5s and 4s.

A "3 metal" instead of a 3 wood.

[PuttLeftHitRight]

creative

If Bubba were actually creative he would win

Not necessarily true. There are bad ball strikers on tour, they are called Great Putters.

Two winners who demonstrate this.

Boo Weekly - Great Ball Striker - Not so great putter
Sneds - Great Putter - Not so great ball striker

Maybe a Masters, or something.

[tembolo1284]

3 metal.

[RRFireblade]

Hmmm...just a few,

'Trap Draw'

'Power' anything, aka power fade. The ball doesn't know wtf your talking about.

'Metal'

'5 par'

[QMany]

Careful, Hank Haney may hear you.

[KYMAR]

Please, please please stop calling clubs "bats"
I really don't get annoyed too much by things like this But "he just choose the wrong bat there" grrrr it's like fingernails on a chalk board.

Are you listening Kurt Byrum?

[mgilly200]

Calling clubs "wrenches" I don't know why it annoys the crap out of me, but it does.

[duffer987]

Upon seeing the thread title I immediately thought of:

Trap draw & power fade

[corky]

Flat Stick...... it ain't

[stixman]

Did I post on this thread last year or am I having a deja vu experience?

[tityman]

double eagle

I'm American and if it's an albatross call it an albatross.

[Tipsy McHooker]

Trap Draw, and Johnny Miller uses "Juicy lie" and "Chunk & Run" way too much. I am not a Miller Hater either...like alot of golf guys, but he uses those 2 way too often. And Roger Maltbie should get a pair and occasionally disagree with Miller....he just says" you are right Johnny" every time. He is the Ed Mcmahon of golf announcers...."You are correct,sir/ yes, o' great one."

LOL! Truth!

[Sean2]

Sand iron
Trap draw
3 metal
Five par
Flat stick

My "favorite" line: "If he's got the line and the speed, this putt could go in."

[RRFireblade]

I think it's pronounced "Goff Shot"

Or...

"if it's the right club, this could be close."

"If it clears the hazard, he should be fine"

"If this stays on then he'll have a look at birdie"

"If the course firms up, it will get quicker"

"If this tie breaker goes on much longer, it will be too dark to see"

Apparently restating the painfully obvious is big part of being an announcer.

This one is for Morning Drive:


"Amateurs"

They must say it 100 times a day.

[SatelliteGuy]

I would prefer zero color commentary during the event... Just facts..

Save your cleverness and wisdom for before or after.... So I can change it...

[Fade to Black]

"He really wants this to go in"
