Eagle - A hole this is played in two strokes under par.
Tee - The specifically designed area from where the first shot is played from each hole.
Fairway - The short grass located between the tee and the green. It is much easier to hit the ball out of the fairway than anywhere else.
Rough - The grass that surrounds the entire fairway. This grass is taller and thicker than the fairway, making it more difficult to hit out of.
Green - (putting green) The area designated around each hole where putts are played. This grass is much shorter than any other area across the course.
Hook - A shot that (for a right-handed golfer) curves sharply to the left. Although this shot may sometimes be played intentionally, it is very difficult to control.
Slice - A shot that (for a right-handed golfer) curves sharply to the right. Again this shot may sometimes be played intentionally, but it is very difficult to control.
Mulligan - This is a replay or do-over of a previous shot. Although it is not allowed in tournaments or professional standards, it is sometimes common in casual rounds.
Handicap - This refers to a numerical calculation of a golfer's playing ability. It is used to ensure that all golfers have an even chance of winning in competition.
