Alright newbie golfers, it's time to learn a couple of things that some of your more experienced golfing friends might be afraid to discuss with you. We were all new to the game at some point, so this is going to be for your benefit. Keep in mind, I'm not laughing with you, I'm laughing at you...wait, flip that the other way around. Some of these are just lessons you'll learn as you play more, but not knowing correct golf terminology makes you look like a real goofball. Let's dive right in.
1. I scored a 128 today - It's not "I Scored". You weren't out trying to buy drugs. The correct way to say it is "I SHOT a 128 today, but I hit a bunch of 300 yard drives"....get this one right and you'll up your Golf IQ a ton.
2. Bunkers vs. Sand Traps - Even experienced golfers use the term "sand traps" to refer to the sandy pits of hell that take most of use 3-4 shots to extricate ourselves from, but the correct phrase is "bunkers". The term sand trap is not listed in the official rules of golf. Listen to the pros, they'll always call it a bunker.
3. Get some shoes - If you're going to play on the big boy courses, please break down and get yourself a pair of golf shoes. Not only will you notice a difference in your traction and balance, but you won't look like someone who has no business being on a golf course. If you need cheap shoes, I have an offer code you can use at Austad's Golf to save 10% at checkout. Use Code 25253 at Austad's Golf.
