Arthur Scargill

golfing slang - a shot that is hit well but ends up in a very poor lie. Arthur Scargill was head of the National Union of Miners in the 1980's who lead a succession of strikes against Margaret Thatcher's handling of pit closures across the UK. It was a bitter struggle that the government eventually won.

Arthur Scargill - a great strike but a poor result.

"unlucky you ended up in that bush mate, that was a bit of an Arthur Scargill"
