When they say ..... , what they really mean is ....

"This course rewards precise shotmaking" means "this goattrack is so poorly maintained that if your ball doesn't land in one of the couple of patches of decent fairway, you're screwed."

When they say the greens were "tricked up", they really mean they didn't putt very well that tournament......

"I caught a flyer..." really means I hit it thin and through the green.

"I can't believe that didn't sit down." Means I had no spin on that at all.

I thought maybe that's how it was spelled out east.

Some of the funniest I have seen are the caddy translations at the end of each chapter in Rick Reilly’s book, Who’s Your Caddy. Below is an example from the first chapter.

If the caddy says…

“So we go Yogi Bear on the last six holes and he goes Helicopter City with every one of his bats right there, straight into the Jacques Cousteau. Then he gives me the bullet, bang, just like that. Looks like I’m trollin’ at Westchester.”

He means…

“So, we played each of the last six holes in one-over par bogey. This made my player very angry and he began throwing each of his clubs in a whirling manner into the nearby body of water. This is the point at which he fired me. It appears I’ll be in the parking lot asking players if they need a caddy at the next tournament on the schedule, which is Westchester.”

"Right in the back of the hole" means "It's a good thing the hole got in the way or they'd have a 20 footer coming back".

My favorite was Brian's excuse of airmailing the green...."I guess I got it too pure." OMG!
