Popular Golfing Terms

So you think you know golf huh? Then you must know of these terms right?

Birdie, eagle, par, bogeys, draw, fade, hook, slice, pilot, shank, chip shot, low runner, high soft, and gimmie are all popular golfing terms. They may not sound very common to the average person, but to an experienced golfer, they are all part of THE lingo.

A birdie is when you make it in the hole one less than par. Furthermore, Par is when you make it in the amount of strokes technically allowed. A bogey is anything less than par, and a draw is when you naturally hit the ball to the left, whereas a fade is when you hit it naturally to the right.

If you’ve kept up this far then you probably know your stuff. If you’re a little lost; keep working on it!
