This article is based on some amateur golfers amusing themselves by imitating Tour Pros. These amateur golfers school you in how to adopt the Tour Player lingo, for example, you did not “get new clubs this season” … rather, you're “going through an equipment change.” And you're not “taking lessons” … you're “going through some swing changes” and you “feel good about where you are in the process.” Love that last one!

Get ready to watch the most stupid thing I have ever witnessed on a golf course. When a golfer's ball landed in a ditch just off the fairway and was lying under an alligator, what he did next took my breath away! 99% of us would drop another ball at the point of nearest relief, no closer to the hole, and move on with no penalty.
