GOLFSPEAK TRANSLATION
Looks Like I’m stuck on the beach. I have gotten stuck in a sandtrap/bunker.
You’re in the cabbage now. You are in very thick rough.
That ball’s dead. You are in a position from which you are unable to reach the green.
Well, that’s an elephant’s ass. That shot is high, but not very long—and it stinks.
What a goat farm! This is a very poorly maintained course.
Stop being such a golf lawyer. Stop constantly telling me the rules.
You left it right in the jaws. You came just short of the cup.
Now I’m leaking oil. Now my game is really falling apart.
Don’t overcook it. Do not hit your shot too hard.
You’re in throw-up range. Your putt is close enough to make, but long enough that you will probably miss it.
You burned a few worms on that one. You have hit a very poor, low shot.
Get up on the dance floor! Get up onto the putting green!
You’re in the soup. You are in a water trap.
I’m headed for the chopping mall. I am playing a terrible round.
Nice banana! That certainly was a big, looping slice!
I fried that egg. I buried that right in the bunker.
I think I’ll use my knife. I think that I will take that shot with my one iron.
You whiffed that one. You missed the ball completely.
I think I’ve got the yips. I doubt that I can sink short putts.
I guess it’s just the rub of the green. You only have a certain amount of control.
