Just because it sounds nice, doesn’t mean it is
Good bogey
What it really means: No, really, a bogey is good for you.
You might ACTUALLY have a swing there
What it really means: Unfortunately, it’s still your swing.
SMART play to lay up
What it really means: The only play with those toothpick arms.
The great thing about YOU is that you play for fun
What it really means: I stopped updating your scorecard an hour ago.
Good contact
What it really means: At least you made contact this time.
Don’t worry. You can HIT
What it really means: You’re not reaching them in a million years.
Nice lag
What it really means: No one expected you to get it there.
Right line
What it really means: Wrong speed, wrong stroke, wrong club, wrong course, wrong day.
