Righto, so there are plenty of nicknames up on this forum and I imagine this thread has already been done but how did you get the names you use at ISG? – mine is fairly obvious…if I could play golf all day every day I would, and I wanted a name that had golf in it…how about yours?

My full name is Andrew Norrby.

From Norrby you get Nobby

Nobby Stiles was on the England football team that won the world cup in 1966 and had a great career.

Styles is just a variation :-)

I also get Stylsie and Stylesmanator :-)

Has a lot to do with the land of my birth. Someone used it many years ago & it just stuck.

I’ll join in here also and let you into the secrets of my nick – Ditty is part of a vietnamese sentence which means eff off quick quick (or similar…) It was my favourite saying and I got nicked with ditty. I also had the nick of nipper given to me by my dad when I was a kid – a common saying or name in the 50’s but mine stuck for many many years – I’m a fire officer and have “nipper” on the back of my helmet.

Years ago I was working at Golf Box when I met Jeff Brooks from Newman & Brooks Golf. He never called anyone by their normal name and straight away I became “Maverick”.

Fortunately, it’s followed me around pretty much ever since, as before that, I was called “bra”, from my full initials, and then just good old “BA” from around the time the A-Team ruled.

Brett

My usual nicknames are Mick or Ace but I thought Mick would be a bit boring and seeing as though I’m yet to get an ace it just didn’t seem right on this forum.

Boof just comes natual because my Dad always called me a boof head but a search of the Urban Dictionary (Urban Dictionary) has me thinking that a change might be in order lol Might change it ….

Cheers,

Mick

Edited: Took germ out because a search of the Urban Dictionary shows that germ doesn’t sound too flash either ..

Mine is easy too, ‘Franky’ from an old nickname given to me years ago and ‘B’ from the last initial, I’ve used the nick on many forums over the years and see no point to changing it now.

Mine was mysockshurt which is a fav response of mine (said in a spaz voice) when asked how i am. Changed it to socks as its just easier for people to type.

well mines pretty simple, my name is steve booth, s.booth. i was once afflicted with the shanks and someone said s stood shank. then one day i was playing and someone said that was a smooth swing and i got smooth booth or just smoothy.

My last names Sargent, the only problem in my family is that all the males obviously have the same name and if were all together at birthdays and such and have our mates there it can get confusing as were all known as Sarg :-)

My name is Leigh, and a few years ago me and my mate were listening to the radio at work. The dj on the radio at the time was ‘leighdog’. So it stuck.

Apparently I look like Finch from the American Pie movies. I won’t shag your mother, though… don’t worry.

People have been calling me Finch since the first movie came out… some people don’t even know my real name!

Aussie_Bomber

Not very imaginative Im afraid…. Im Aussie, my AFL team is the Bombers and as a Long Driver my obsession is hitting Bombs.

The guys on tour currently call me “Junior”, as I am the newest guy on tour and like to talk alot of trash to the big boys. Not a very intimidating nickname for a Long Driver! I did get called Jason (Zuback) Junior a couple of times but it was not in terms of his distance unfortunately, more for being an ex power lifter and still having large-ish arms…

Great Topic L4G… sorry I couldnt have a more exciting post… hahaha..

Mr Consistency was given to me by a mate who I play alot of golf with after I went around 24 holes straight (A full round plus the first six of the next) scoring 2 points. I can tell you that it is quite frustrating at times! But I don’t take the 2 pointers for granted anymore because I am currently struggling to make them at the moment!

A bad day on the golf course is better than no golf at all. :(

No one who ever had a lesson would have a swing like mine

Lee Trevino

So you’re Danish then? :)

1st name – named after my fathers brother who died at 18 of Meningitis
2nd name – Named after the Fraser clan (Scotland)
3rd name – Descendants from early settlers (convicts) in Dubbo.
Won’t post name as my dole forms are due and well you know the rest.

Mine is pretty simple but have only just started using it.

My first name is Warren.

I was in the military and my common nickname was Ando (last name Anderson) however one of my best mates and his daughters called me Wazzza (they really stretched it out). He died in Iraq recently so as a reminder I use Wazzza now.

I get called mulchy(a derivative of my surname) golf mates call me Scuffy (from the way I chip) or Stainless(can’t chip) and I gave myself this name as I was pulling my shots right and all the other good lefty names seem to have been taken.I can move the ball both ways ,I just don’t know when 8)

mine is a play on bagger vance

Mine comes from my favourite band and I use it for a few forums, not a real nickname at all just something I made up when I needed to think of a login.

My full name is Andrew Norrby.

From Norrby you get Nobby

Nobby Stiles was on the England football team that won the world cup in 1966 and had a great career.

Styles is just a variation :)

I also get Stylsie and Stylesmanator :)

I had a mate whose surname was Piles. Piles – rhymes with Styles – so after about 2 training sessions (soccer) he became Nobby! RIP mate.

I’m an Arsenal fan – so GoonerAl is easy to work out!

Whow Styles you an Arsenal fan as well. Great player Nobby watched him play probably 100 times in the 60s.

Whilst I am not green all of the guys at work called me Shrek as they said I looked like him and it has stuck ever since. The ‘sm’ at the end are the initials of my first and last name. :)

My last name is Wood and I yell Fore really, really loud.

Pretty obvious
But for the less soccer minded. Manchester United won the treble in 1999 never been done before or since. Mu car rego is also manu 99
