Nice on!
There are lots of English words (or variations of them) used on the golf course, but nice on! is my personal favourite. It can be heard all over the course, as any shot that results in the ball finishing on the green is met with a hearty cry of nice on!.
This is ok if you’ve just nailed a 4 iron into the heart of the green, but it does have a tendency to wear a little thin. Especially when your fluffed chip shot just about manages to trundle onto the putting surface, miles away from the flag, and is met with an enthusiastic bellow of nice on! from your playing partners.
