Golf Dictionary - What
golf terms really mean
Eagle
- Unusually low score on a hole achieved
by a golfer with an exceptionally good drive
and one or two exceptionally good follow-up
shots, or by a golfer with an exceptionally
poor memory. See Hole-In-One.
Egg The ball, but only within
the context of putting. You can putt, broom,
or roll the egg, but you don't want to chip,
pitch, or hit it.
Elephant burial ground Collective
term for the huge mounds found on the greens
of certain golf courses. Where good scores
often go to die.
Elephant's
ass A poorly struck shot that is "high
and stinky." Usually applied to a popped-up
drive that is higher than it is long. An
elephant's ass might also prompt a comment
such as, "Except for distance and direction,
that was a good shot."
Equipment
- According to the rules of golf, equipment
is "anything that can be thrown, broken,
kicked, twisted, torn, crushed, shredded
or mangled; or propelled, driven or directed,
either under its own power or by means of
a transfer of momentum, into underbrush,
trees or other overgrown terrain; or over
the edge of a natural or artificially elevated
area; or below the surface of any body of
water, whether moving or impounded."
Etiquette
- The rules of behavior in golf. There isn't
room here for a complete list, but a few
of the more important ones are:
- Never
put tees in your nose.
- Never
sneeze into your glove.
- Never
concede a chip shot.
- Never
hold a ball for another player to hit.
- Never
practice drives against a backboard.
- Never
wear golf shoes to a dance.
Explosion
Shot - A shot in which, after a poorly
swung sand wedge fails to contact enough
sand, the ball flies off the face of the
club and the player flies off the handle.
