I’ve heard the usuals, like ‘gimmies’, ‘the tips’, and phrases like ‘grip and rip’ and ‘big dawg’ for the driver. But I was wondering what are some others you’ve heard or use amongst your playing partners that others probably aren’t familiar with, like unique names for the beer cart, or the marshal, or fast greens, etc.

And I was wondering if there’s a specific term for for a single player who is asked to join a group? Or what about when a ball is hunting the flag stick on approach shots, or a putt that looks good before it goes in? What about golfing apparel— any names for flashy shirts, bags, hats, dresser, etc.

Lastly, a question for women golfers: have you ever heard lingo that’s only used by girls?
