A noonan- a pressure putt

Closely Mown area- fairway height or less, used for preferred lies


In my Circles we call the lip outs that you call Mother in laws, "Monica's" ---all lip and no hole, although that is kind of crude and not everyone stoops that low.

Putts that go straight in are then "Wilt Chamberlains" ------ dead center.

You have to make par from the bunker for it to be a Sandy. But that is not particularly creative, just kind of standard.
