golf terms really mean
Valleys
On
an undulating green, the relatively flat
areas between mounds. The
most famous valley is the Valley of Sin,
located on the eighteenth green at the Old
Course, St. Andrews, Scotland.
Vardon
Grip - The almost universally used golf
grip, in which the little finger of the
right hand overlaps the forefinger of the
left. Its invention is attributed to the
legendary golfer Harry Vardon, a true innovator
in the game who also developed an over-the-neck
muzzle grab for dislodging a ball from the
jaws of a dog, a one-armed stranglehold
for persuading recalcitrant golfers to re-compute
the totals on their scorecards, and a two-handed
throat grasp for throttling a caddy.
Victory
lap The circle a putt makes around the
rim of the cup before falling in.
