Nowadays, thanks to Urban Dictionary, people like to create words and sayings that “capture the moment.” There is no denying that half (if not more) of these sayings are absolutely ridiculous and stupid, but nonetheless, are very entertaining. So, in hopes of helping you keep up your social status, we at The Tour Sauce, have decided to provide a list of modern golf slang and their meanings:
