Over the course of any given round, I may utter some phrases that drive my wife nuts. I will list them with their true meanings and the reasons my wife can't stand it when I say it.
1) "Heads up"
Actual meaning: pay attention to this shot, you might be in the line of flight if I miss hit it.
Her interpretation: Hey, watch me, for I am about to hit a great shot.
2) "This could go anywhere"
Actual meaning: Just exactly that, the shot could go just about anywhere since the ball is sitting on hard pan, there is an embedded rock right in front of the ball, I am behind a tree, the ball has mud on it and I have to carry the pond in front of me.
Her interpretation: Yeah right, you will probably make a miracle shot. Just hit it.
3) "This shot is no picnic"
Actual meaning: It is a very difficult shot and will be no fun to execute.
Her interpretation: Yeah right, you will probably makea miracle shot. Just hit it.
4) "This is a great hole"
Actual meaning: It is a well designed hole.
Her interpretation: You mean its hard, right?
5) "How can they put this pin here? This pin placement must be illegal"
Actual meaning: it is placed on the edge of a 3 ft. ridge and it you miss long it will role off the front of the green, leave it short and it comes right back to you.
Her interpretation: Just putt the thing, that is where they put it today.

OMG, my teammates must think I'm insane, cuz I was chuckling with glee while reading these.
I can soooo see Joan saying these, and my responses would probably be the same!
