I gather from a number of posts on this site that many of the active terbites play golf. I play at golf myself....not sure I can call it golf yet!

When playing alone I often get paired up with other players. Now statistically as there are apparently 64,000 terb members, it seems likely that in past years I have probably, unknowingly, played a round with fellow hobbyist (that's a round, not around). :D

It might be nice to have some sort of way of signalling that we are loyal terbites to one another. It would have to be subtle in a way that could be picked up by a devotee of the hobby but not by non-hobbyists who might want an explanation of our strange hand signal or turn of phrase.

Discretion would be paramount...as we might ourselves be playing with someone who shouldn't know about our sideline...This would rule out open comments such as "....are you into SPs or MPAs'?..." or inscribing the initials BBBJ on our balls (golf) or baseball hats! Introducing ourselves by our nicknames may also not be appropriate in some cases....e.g. Icanbreaththroughmyears, DATY Lover, Secret Touch, JuicyLucyPussy...etc.


Suggestions? Rude comments? Fire away!
 
you can tell a terb member by their paying more attention to the girl on the beer cart than the game.

no need to be caddy



Its the only fairway he knows, he's green in this area.


And don't even suggest a hole in one, he's more of a rough player.
 
I play with my cock hanging out the bottom of my shorts, so you would remember playing with me.

obviously you dont know the terb secret handshake

I guess a secret handshake is better than engaging in sword play


{PHNINE Interesting...we could organize a TERB golf day. 19 holes if you know what I mean? }

tie it into Kacy's party...have the non-golfers waiting at the 19th hole perhaps in the locker room :D

{fuji I suggest you put a red handkerchief in your back pocket or wear it around your neck. }

interesting idea. there is an organization of women called the Red Hats...terbites could be the red hanky soceity...

{papasmerf you can tell a terb member by their paying more attention to the girl on the beer cart than the game.}

I thought the terbite was the one in the beer cart with the girl!
 
How to recognize a fellow hobbyist on the greens.

Her will be the one letting hios putter hang out and he will be twirling it around and around when it is not in actual use.:D
 
interesting idea.. and a funny thread to boot. initially i was thinking maybe a terb-designed ball-marker but logistics of making/distributing is troublesome.. so maybe pick a combo of couple of off-the-shelf items - uncommon brands. secret handshake's fine too as long as no one puts it on youtube... ;)
