All golfers talk to their golf balls. Some do it loudly, others softly, some keep it inside. Some talk to everybody's golf ball. But what to say? How to best communicate with the placid white sphere?
I've put together some of my favorites. Please add your own in the comments section -- I will add it to the list and give you credit.
Enjoy! -- GolfTipEditor
- "Get legs, get there." A chip or putt that is struck too softly, that needs to roll faster to get to the hole.
- "Hit something." A chip or putt that is going too fast and needs to slow down.
- "Get down." A ball that is hit too hard, sailing beyond the target.
- "Come back." A push or a pull that you would like to see hook or slice back on target.
- "Be right, be the one." The ball looks good in the air.
- "Bite." The ball lands farther than you intended and you want it to stop fast.
- "Get up." the ball might not carry as far as you wanted.
- "Kick right (left)". A shot is off target but with a good bounce could end up OK.
- "Get through it." The ball is sailing through some sparse trees and you hope to not connect with any wood.
- "Sit up." Your shot ended up in the rough and you want a decent lie for your next shot.
- "Get outta there." The ball has gone where it shouldn't, and you hope for a kind bounce out of the trouble.
- "Dance for me." You want the ball to hit the green with backspin and "dance", so you end up near the ball mark.
- "Come on down." A long, downhill putt that is struck softly and takes a long time to get to the hole.
- "One time." The putt looks good, like it will surely go in the hole.
- "Stay dry." You are dangerously close to a water hazard.
