Here is a continuation on the golf term glossary that we have been working on for a little while now.
Collar - Speaking strictly, this is the edge of any sand trap, though it is a term that is also used in order to describe the fringe area around the surface used for putting.
Condor - This is a triple eager that is four below the par on a particular hole. It is an extremely rare occurrence simply because it requires that a hole in one be hit on a hole with par 5 or greater.
Control Shot - This is a shot that is played while putting emphasis on obtaining accuracy, and it is generally hit with less than the full amount of power. This term may also be described as a controlled shot.
Course - This is the entire playing area used for a round of golf or a golf match. It typically comprises either 9 or 18 holes, and each of the holes has a green, a fairway and a teeing ground.
Course Rating - This is an evaluation that is placed on a course based on its difficulty in comparison to other courses and it is expressed in strokes as well as in decimal fractions for a stroke. The course rating is used for the purpose of computing player handicaps.
Cross Bunker - This is a bunker that crosses a fairway, and it is typically both long and narrow.
Cross Handed Grip - This is an unorthodox style of grip where the left hand is played below the right hand.
Cup - This is another word for the hole.
Cuppy - This describes a lie where the ball is sitting in a depression that is shaped like a cup.
Cut - This is the highest score that is going to allow a player to be able to continue within a tournament. The cut is typically determined following the initial 36 holes out of a 72 hole long tournament. If the player shoots this score or lower, then he is said to have made that cut. Shooting a higher score than the cut is to have missed the cut.
Cut In - This is described as hitting an approach shot with backspin, precisely, to a pin that is well protected.
Cut Shot - This is a high and soft shot that stops nearly immediately upon hitting the green.
Dance Floor - This is another name for the putting green.
Dead - This describes a shot that stops immediately upon landing.
Dead Ball - This is a ball that falls so close to the hole that there is absolutely no doubting that it will be put in during the next putt.
Deuce - This is a hole that is achieved in only two strokes.
Dimple - This is an indentation on a golf ball allowing for it to fall straighter and farther. Dimples are typically round, but some may actually be polygonal in shape. The average ball has between 300 and 500 dimples.
