➛ Birdie
A score of one stroke under par on a single hole. For example, finishing a par-4 hole in 3 strokes is a birdie.
➛ Bogey
A score of one stroke over par on a single hole. It is a common result for casual golfers.
➛ Eagle
A score of two strokes under par on a single hole. It is rarer and harder to make than a birdie.
➛ Fairway
The short, neatly mown stretch of grass between the tee and the green. It is the ideal place to land your shot because the ball sits up well.
➛ Bunker
A hazard filled with sand, often placed near greens and fairways. Players use a wedge to hit the ball out of it.
➛ Putter
The club used on the green to roll the ball into the hole. It has a flat face and is the most used club in a round.
➛ Caddie
A person who carries a golfer’s bag and gives advice on distances, club choice, and the course.
➛ Driver
The largest club in the bag, used to hit long shots from the tee. It is designed to send the ball as far as possible.
➛ Green
The smooth, closely cut area of grass around the hole where players putt. It is the final stop on each hole.
➛ Tee Box
The area at the start of each hole where players take their first shot. Players place the ball on a small peg called a tee.
➛ Divot
A chunk of turf that is torn up when a club strikes the ground. Golfers are expected to replace or fill it in.
➛ Mulligan
A friendly do-over of a bad shot that does not count on the scorecard. It is not allowed in official play.
➛ Scorecard
A small card used to record the number of strokes taken on each hole. It also shows the par for each hole and the total score.
➛ Wedge
A short, angled club used for high shots that land softly, such as chips and sand shots. It is used to get out of bunkers and play close to the green.
➛ Clubhouse
The main building at a golf course, where players check in, relax, eat, and often gather after a round.
