The expression is "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." It means that unless you are exactly right, you are wrong. Being nearly right is not good enough in this case.
In the game of horseshoes, points are awarded for ringing the post with the horseshoe, but you can also score if you are less than a horseshoe's width from the post. If you are trying to kill someone with a hand grenade, it is not necessary to hit them with the grenade; you can still kill them if you are close.
