Drive for show, putt for uncontrollable, apoplectic rage.
Of course, that’s a good thing here, isn’t it? A birdie at least, right?

If the object of golf is to hit the ball as few times as possible, why hit it in the first place?

I do not claim credit for these, and note that some of them are in extremely poor taste, but various shots can be named.
Teeing Off
The Princess Grace - Should have used the driver.
The Princess Diana - Shouldn’t have used the driver.
From the Fairway
The JFK Jr. - Shouldn’t have gone over the water.
Around the Green
The Hitler - Two shots in the bunker.
Putting
The Rock Hudson - Looked straight, but wasn’t.
Generic
The Barbara Streisand - Ugly, but still works.
There are more, but these are all I remember right now. Feel free to add to the list.
Golf slang? You mean besides, “Goddamnit, mother-effing, cocksnorkling, fucking putter!!!”
I’ve always enjoyed my dad’s euphemism for a drive you’ve gotten under, that pops straight up and only goes about 50 yards.
“That’s an elephant’s ass; it’s high and it stinks.”
I’ve certainly hit a few Hitlers in my day.
The Jimmy Hoffa: Any shot that results in a ball that disappears in the rough and is unlikely to be found.
Is there one called the Sonny Bono?
If there is then I’ve hit more of them then anyone I know. I can hit a branch the size of a gnats ass from the middle of the fairway and have it land ten feet from me.
Now I don’t know if I should go golfing tonight or something else.
According to Larry David, you seem to be far from Acceptance
I haven’t been frustrated by a golf course in almost a year. I’m jonesing bad, man! Hitting balls at the driving range just isn’t the same.
