Golfisms – A Comprehensive List

We’ve all used them at one time or another to describe a golf shot, situation or event. Golfisms are sometimes raunchy and tasteless, but they usually bring a little humor to the game that we all can use, especially after hitting one of the unfortunate shots that precede them. We’ve scoured the internet, asked our Facebook and Twitter followers and been to golf course 19th holes around the nation in an effort to compile the most comprehensive list of golfisms we could find. Here’s what we came up with. WARNING: Many of these jokes are not politically correct! You’ve been warned.
