starting with the a’s
Many sports have their own vocabulary and golf is no exception. Learning golfing terminology can be like learning a foreign language at times.
“A” Game: | A golfer’s best game which is executed on a regular basis. |
Ace: | Hitting the ball into the hole in one swing of the club. |
Afraid of The Dark: | When the putted ball refuses to fall into the hole. |
Airmail: | A golf shot which travels a considerably longer distance than planned. |
Albatross (aka Double Eagle): | This means a score of three strokes under Par, which as you can imagine is very rare. |
All square: | Tied score in match play. |
Army Golf: | Like a marching rhythm: Left-right-left, in the game of golf it means hitting the ball out of bounds to the left then to the right the next time. |
