“Ball-Sac Polisher” (or “BSP”) is both a noun and verb: it refers to a man who worships a scratch golfer or blue-blood regardless of his character; as well as his actions. The BSP
will seek the opinion of the most clueless scratch
player or blue-blood over that of an imminent authority on any subject at all including engineering, science, medicine and astrophysics; he
will buy unlimited drink and
food for a scratch
player or blue-blood in return for no more than an acknowledgement of existence, smile, nod or look of approval, without any expectation or possibility of reciprocation. A BSP is akin to a lapdog, sidekick, chump or
loser.
BSP is a term of
art coined in the 1990’
s by a doctor in Troy, NY, who noticed that many newly admitted public employment and other working class members to the city’
s country club (admitted when the economy caused the once exclusive country club to essentially be a quasi-public course) would do anything just to obtain the slightest acknowledgment or glance of approval from a scratch
player or long-standing blue-blood member. Scratch players and blue-bloods at The
CC of Troy have accepted the adoration and offerings of the BSP so eagerly that their symbiotic relationship has established the prevalent culture at that club, and a precedent for many others, which exists to this day.
