Have you ever foozled, and if you did, would you be embarrassed? Personally, I foozle so frequently, I can no longer stop myself. What does foozle mean?

A. To bungle, especially a golf shot.
B. To drink heavily.
C. To strike or throw an object in anger.
D. To giggle uncontrollably.

If you need a hint, check out the cartoon up above. It should lead you to the correct definition of foozle, which is … A … to bungle a golf shot. My repertoire of foozling pretty much runs the gamut -

  • The top.
  • The push.
  • The slice.
  • The banana slice.
  • The shank.
  • The hook.
  • The duck hook.
  • The pull hook.
  • The skull.
  • The whiff.
  • The fat shot, or chunk.
  • The chili dip.
  • The thin shot.
  • The skied shot.
  • The worm burner.
  • The misread.
  • The underclub.
  • The overclub.
  • The green-side bunker explosion shot that carries 50 yards over the green.
  • The shot drilled into a nearby foursome.
  • The shot into the clubhouse parking lot.
  • The shot through a car windshield in the clubhouse parking lot.

Sigh. Well, it’s good to be versatile, I suppose. One thing’s for sure – few sports can match golf for colorful lingo. As we can see, golf has an abundance of terms for foozles alone – no foozling!
