Army Golf

From Brent Kelley,

Definition: A slang term, often applied as an insult from one golfer to another, that means a player is spraying the ball all over the course in different directions. The term stems from the Army marching cadence: Left-right-left. In other words, a golfer hits one shot to the left, the next to the right, and very few of them straight.
Examples: The Golf Guide hits a ball left and then the next one right - he's playing Army golf.
