Saturdays league prompted the posting of this:

From my growing collection: Tree & wood terms.

Pinball: when a disc bounces from one tree to another.
Catching bark: your disc hits a tree.
Woody: a person who has had his run of tree hits.
Chainsaw: a heavly wooded hole.
Spike Jones: we have a tree at one course that has very sharp thorns.
Several discs have been retired from thorns.
Texan chainsaw massacure: this is a golfer who during a hole sees more
trees and brush then he likes to.
Barkn' up a tree: when a players tee throw lands him in front of a
large tree, causing a difficult lie.
Window: with lots of trees, it is a opening witch your disc can travel
safely.
Threadn' the needle: a throw where your disc goes though a narrow path
created by trees.
Pines: any joke refering to tar (& baseball) or sing Neil Young's
"Needle and the Damage Done"
A Sandy Point: a course/hole with lots of trees. Sandy Point is a
resort in northern WI the course is ALL woods.
Bushwacker: a persons lie is right smack in a bush with no windows.
Rake job: a lost disc in leaves. Fall leaves. Orange disc. 10
minutes to find this guys disc.
Buck rub: just like deer, a tree that is worn down in one spot, from
discs.

Anyone with some more to share?

And what about "Taco?" --disc that slams into a tree right off the tee
shot, bending it sharply. followed up by "you want some refried beans with
that taco?"

Boy do I know that one! But if it lands bottom side up, it's a
"bathtub".

"Sybil" - a disc with 'split' personalities!
"Woodpecker" - obvious definition.
"Chiggernooga Choo Choo" - when you land in the REALLY deep stuff.

There is the "Odd Job" disc that hits somebody. From "Goldfinger" - often
a verb as in " Wow that yank nearly Odd Jobbed me!".

I don't recall seeing "MAC" on the list is in Mid Air Collision (if it's
bad) or Mid Air Correction (if it's good). I always wear my good luck Mac
cap (Apple logo) when playing lumberjack courses.

I believe spaunch would describe all these throws and scenarios.

In quite a few areas down south here, the term shoole/shool/shule
(pronounced like school, except without the hard "c") is used for the
"really deep stuff".

"Aww, dammit.. that wanker is DEEP in the shule."

"Chernobyl lunch meat" was a term used by my husband and his friend Mike
Carrier.

Scary!

More, or less, Woody terms:

DBR- Dirt Bag Roller, which refers to a shot that turns over and hits
right of the pin (for a righty backhand thrower) then takes a kick or
shallow roll back toward the pin yielding a makeable putt from a yanked
drive.

Kiss - when a MAC (mid-air-correction) re-directs you close to the pin.

Deep jungle - obvious.

They're a lumberjack - said to state the obvious, but best followed by,
"but they're OK" to try and make the poor dope feel better.

Good Shot - Never ever say this while Geoff Lissaman's disc is still in
motion. Trust me.

Local's Route - Said when a shot misses the fairway but somehow finds it's
way through many branches and ends up near the pin.

Had Eyes - I usually use it for a shot that looks like its headed for a
tree a ways down the fairway and you can tell before its even halfway
there, the more literal amongst us might use it to describe the situation
above where a shot makes it through a bunch of close branches.

Doing the rest of us a favor - used when a shot breaks off a branch during
flight.

It's pretty interesting to me, finding out that golfers all over the
country are
describing their shots in almost identical ways. Up here in the land of
pay golf,
people that try the "local routes" succesfully are also said to have
"season passes" When someone makes it through the tightest, thickest,
nastiest bug-
infested part of the course, after you pick your jaw up off of the ground
you
usually end up muttering something like "he must have just bought his
season pass."
When a shot magically dodges trees in its path, seemingly controlled by
some higher force, that person usually got flight instruction from "LUKE
SKYWALKER"

If you catch wood with a shot early in the A.M., would that be considered

"Morning Wood"?

My two novice friends and myself (barely a novice) have a particular term
which can be used for almost all of our shots:

Awwwww, nice try though!

Still love the game
