Jul 25, 2019 · The lingo used on and off the course doesn’t make it seem any easier. However, learning golf terminology helps you pick up the sport even faster. Rams Hill has compiled a list of the most commonly used golfing slang to use as a future cheat sheet the next time you play a round or watch a tournament:
- (760) 767-3500
- Ace
- Albatross
- Approach
- Approach Shot
- Army Golf
- Barkie
- Birdie
- Bogey
- Bunkers
- Carts
An ace is a hole-in-one. This is a term you would love to hear while playing a round of golf. Many golfers will say, “I’ve never had an ace,” this means they are still looking for their first hole-in-one.
Scoring a 2 on a par 5 is an albatross. The albatross is incredibly rare, and if you are talking about this, you may even be talking to the local newspaper about your experience. Three under par on a single hole is very difficult to do.
The approach is the area just short of the green where you can find shorter grass. Some may call it the fringe, but many golfers will say they landed their shot right on the approach. “My 7 iron came up short, but it was right on the approach setting myself up for an easy chip.”
An approach shot is your shot to the green. This is intended to land directly on the green, so you can set yourself up to make a putt for birdie (hopefully!).
Army golf is when a golfer hits a ball to the left and right of the fairway. Let’s say your tee shot is pulled left, and your approach shot is pushed right. You may tell your playing partners, “I’m playing army golf.” Of course, this army golf is meant to resemble a marching soldier, but it’s not a quick way to shoot lower scores.
A barkie is a rare one where your shot hits the tree and then hits the green. My husband had one of these the other day, and we are still trying to figure out how it happened. If you are someone who bets money on golf, you may put a few extra dollars on a barkie; they are hard to pull off.
A score of one under par on a hole is a birdie. Birdies are a great score that help players shoot low.
A bogey is a score of plus one on a hole. If you made a 5 on a par 4, then you made a bogey. Golfers typically want to avoid bogeys so that their scores stay lower.
Bunkers are sand traps. They can be located on the fairway or around the green. Golfers may say, “stay out of the fairway bunker” as they see their tee shot headed towards it.
We all know what golf carts are. However, you may have someone setting up a little match, say, “let’s play carts.” This can be confusing at first, but all they mean is that the golfers sitting in the carts together are partners.
