The following are all incorrect in any of their combinations:

green house
jazz house
back house
den house
golf house
house golf

nuclear missile/bomb
missile/bomb protesters
energy missile/bomb

green waste
nuclear waste
waste causing  
waste energy

jazz club
nuclear club
golf club

greenpeace
peace protestors
nuclear peace
civil peace

[Civil peace is certainly a used phrase, and presumably nuclear peace is, as well, but they're not an answer]

YES!
I think I have one this time!

back sroke
golf stroke
prostate stroke (I dunno, it sounds real)

if that isn't real, stroke causing or civil stroke? though I'm not sure if those are real either

No and no, though you're getting warmer (at least with one).

darn, stroke was all unique and stuff, I thought I had one there.

so if I try to work on both of them and I'll probably get one?

well, how about,
golf swing
swing jazz
and some other third one?

or if it was the idea of a swimming stroke like backstroke that was close, I have,

front crawl
energy front
nuclear front

I can't think up anything from the second one though...
