Johnny Miller's Freudian Slip & Ladies of the Night

by Ryan Ballengee on Sep 9, 2009 11:08 AM EDT

Apparently, Playoff Pressure got to more than just Padraig Harrington - who is in line to win the Choke Artist of 2009 Award - at the Deutsche Bank Championship. It got to NBC Sports' Johnny Miller. Thanks to court for sending in this audio of a Freudian slip from Johnny as Paddy was playing the par 5 finishing hole.

Johnny, I gotta say that for a man who shot 63 at Oakmont to win the 1973 US Open, this is a disappointing moment.

Then again, maybe this is just a cute name for a hook.

As a pro broadcaster, Miller should have known better than to bring course-slang that’s a double entendre’ into the booth. But he’s human after all, and it is mildly funny.

If Johnny had anything other than his own book of slang golf terms – that might be a problem. A “goer”…a “chunk and run”…what the hell is he talking about ?

Don’t forget Bob Hope’s great book – “Confessions of a Hooker: My Lifelong Love Affair with Golf”

I just cracked up at this one – and wondered if anybody pointed it out to him.
