But we're all still thinking about golf, aren't we? Even if we can't get out and play because relatives -- or perhaps a couple of feet of snow -- are visiting, we can still dream about it. Well, I found something that could help you sound better next time you tee it up with your friends.

I found Golf Magazine's new Golfer's Dictionary. You can check it out at this link; it contains 45 slang terms you may or may not have heard. Here are a few of my new faves:
- Abominable Snowman noun a 9 on your scorecard, worse than a snowman "8"
- Alec Guinness noun a shot that’s O.B. Wan Kenobi
- Amelia Earhart noun a tee shot that looks great taking off and then just disappears
- Captain Kirk noun a wayward shot that goes where no ball has ever gone before
- Christmas Present noun a ball that lands under a tree (definitely a cool term!)
- Concheat verb to concede a putt that your buddy has no chance of making in exchange for him conceding a putt that you have no chance of making (e.g. "They concheated their 8-foot putts.")
- Cuban Putt noun putt that stopped just short of the hole (i.e., needed one more revolution)
- Get the Waitress verb telling your approach shot to “Check, please!”
- Men’s Warehouse noun when your partner sticks his approach (i.e., “You’re going to like the way you look”)
Best of all, next time I go all Linda Ronstadt on my partners, I'll be sure to gloat.
The photo, of course, came from the golf.com article.
