fatshot A fitting tribute from The Golf Channel. About 8 minutes worth...be sure to watch it all the way to the end....great ending!! https://www.golfchannel.com/video/golf-central-life-hall-famer-peter-alliss
Doug heard the meaning of "hit the ball Allis" on leaving a putt short on the Paulson show on Sirius radio yesterday. It seems Peter was playing Arnold in a 60's Ryder cup match and P A left a putt short and hence---hit the ball allis
Weirfan Doug yes indeed it does. The common golf misconception = many incorrectly think it is to mean Alice is gets corrected on golf forums every so often. It came up on FGI a few times .
ode Yep assumed it was Alice......we have a buddy who is notorious for leaving it short so my regular group uses his initials when leaving a putt short. You **'d it😂.
Weirfan ode there are some other sexist and no longer appropriate golfisms used for leaving putts short ...."buckle that bra strap" " does your husband play" " hit it like a man" etc
Weirfan ode with some of my buds it can be too 🙂 especially on a few of the drunken boyz golf weekends I attend
