A Gentleman’s Lift is a golfing term and refers to when a ball lands in a difficult spot. The player can move the ball to a more favorable area without incurring a penalty stroke. One club length is the widely accepted distance the ball can be moved, although the distance can vary from player to player.
Mike: “Wow, what a brutal tee shot!! Why did I use my driver??? I never hit it straight!”
Jamie: “Why don’t you just take a Gentleman’s Lift?”
Mike: “What’s a Gentleman’s Lift?”
Jamie: “Pick up your ball from that terrible spot and move it to a better spot”
Mike: “But won’t I incur a penalty stroke for that?”
Jamie: “Not at all, that’s the beauty of a Gentleman’s Lift!”

A "gentleman's farm" refers to a property, typically of substantial size, owned and operated by someone who primarily engages in farming for pleasure and recreation, rather than for profit or livelihood. These farms often feature well-maintained landscapes, elegant country homes, and a range of activities, including livestock, orchards, and vegetable gardens.

Gentleman’s Good Game Otherwise written as GGG or Triple G: to predict an unsavory outcome based on someone’s ignorance to prior information/warnings; when the outcome is clear, but participants will continue for fun.
You would use this preemptively, when you know your chances of winning are slim, but only if any chance you had was thrown away by yourself, your team, or a teammate. You would not use this if the opposing team simply gains an advantage or outplays you; that’s just a gg (good game). It’s a respectful way to say you know you basically lost, but without giving up your hustle. After all, they could also fumble the game with the remaining time.
This term can be tossed out at any time, write a game starts, mid-game, or just before the game ends.
