The terms used in golf are called "golf terms". You may have heard terms like up and down shot or double bogey. You may even have heard of the term penultimate day of a four-day tournament. These terms can be helpful in determining what you're talking about when talking about the game.
Up and down shots
While the terms "up" and "down" are often used interchangeably in the game of golf, the two shots they refer are not the same. Although up and down are often used to refer to short shots from off the green's green, they also apply to one-putts on the green. Up and down are most commonly used when a golfer makes a par. This is as valuable as an eagle.
Double bogey
A double bogey is, generally speaking, the worst score you can achieve on a course of golf. It occurs when you hit it in a way that will not make the hole playable. A double bogey on the par three hole is a sign that you could end up in a bunker, or deep rough. A better option is to play for the back of the green, where you will have more chance of landing on the green.
Double eagle
The term "double eagle" is an extension of the term "hole in one." A double is a score that consists of two strokes on either a par six or par five hole. A par three hole is nearly impossible to hit a double-eagle.
Day four of a four day tournament
The moving day is the penultimate game of a tournament. Participants attempt to rise up the leaderboard in order to be eligible for the final round.
Hollow-tining
Hollow-tining, a technique for repairing uneven golf greens, is used in golf. It is commonly used with top dressing or drag-matting. These techniques are designed to minimize disturbance to golfers. These methods are also a great way to speed up putting greens.
Yips
Although yips in golf can be frustrating, you can overcome it with the right attitude. Here are some tips to help. First, realize that this problem isn't unique to you. Even the most skilled golfers have experienced yips at some point. You don’t have to be an outcast. Yips can be caused either by performance anxiety, or technical issues.
