G56788 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I have names for certain golf shots as a way to mentally trigger a swing feeling or visualization. For example, a “buzzsaw” is a wedge shot that requires more acceleration than normal, like in thick rough (I visualize the grooves cutting the bottom of the ball like a saw blade). Or if I need to hit a giant slice, I think “hair salon” (because it’s a SuperCut). Does anyone else do this? What do you call your shots?

Tom the Golf Nut Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Basically, I have three. Up, up and away. That is for a drive that I want to go high to cut a corner and go over trees (Tee up higher and swing up). The other two are nice and oh crap. cnosil and G56788 1 1 Quote Driver, TSi 1 S Flex 3 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 7 Wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 Hybrid King Tec MMT R Flex Irons, Tour UST Recoil 95 R Flex (6 - Gap) Wedges, Snakebite KBS Hi- Rev2.0 54* & 60* Agera 35" Ultralight 14-way Cart Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple, one is a "dammit", then there's the "not again!", and the tried and true "what the hell?!"... I have other "names" for shots but those are best left imagined rather than expressed.

Some of these sound like the names of the shots that I visualize my opponents hitting. Tom the Golf Nut and Bobbers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found it interesting that with all the vile words out there the very worst thing a golfer can say ... is their own name. Blocking a drive on 18 OB and onto the range calls for a What a POS!?!?! or F**K ME!?!? But no ... just a disgusted utterance of your own name.
