    Can we eliminate a word before the end of the year? How about if the term hash tag is banned right now. I have gone my entire life without hearing that term and now I hear it constantly on the radio, on tv and in conversation. That one needs to go!

    How about Jesus or God.
    Oh wait...we got rid of those a long time ago.
    Then let's get rid of Marriage.
    We should all just have "Partnerships".

    I have banned the word "cheat" from our shop. As in when my mechanic says: "I had to cheat and cut the frame on the tractor. But don't worry, I welded it back real good."

    Words and phrases and statements made by those in positions of power at clubs

    1/ At a high level
    2/ heavy lifting
    3/ as it pertains to...
    4/ matrix and metrics
    5/ moving forward
    6/ as it relates to
    7/ on the radar
    8/ take it off line
    9/ next level.

    The following is an email I received. If anyone knows what it means, please help me:


    "This is a document which was created in order to shed more light on the
    implicit knowledge held within the team at (club X).
    It is generally speaking a fixed document during the golf season, but does
    have some organic qualities in the off season."

    Regards

    I would like to echo this thought.

    Keep committee! I don't need a bunch of GM's and Owner's who think they are Zig Zigler coming up with new motivating terms for the meetings. I can hear it now, "Golf Action Team meets a 6pm Tuesday!"
