Golf Glossary pt 3

swinggolfballBold - This usually describes a putt that has been hit too hard, and therefore goes well beyond the intended target. It may also be applied to a shot that carries away too far.

Bowker - This is a pool shot that rebounds back into play after striking something such as a spectator, a tree or another unhelpful object.

Brassie - This is an obsolete name used to describe a 2 wood, as it originally had a sole plate of brass.

Break - This involves making less than a particular score. Examples are breaking par, breaking 100, and so on. This term is also used to describe what direction the ball roles in based on the slope of the green.

Bulger - This is an obsolete wooden club that was pair shaped and had a convex shaped face.

Bump and Run - This is the same thing as a chip and run.

Bye Holes - These are the holes that have remained un-played because the match has already been decided.

Card - This is the score card for a golfer.

Carpet - This is a large area covered by grass, such as the putting green or the fairway.

Carry - This is the length of travel that the ball takes through the air before it eventually makes contact with the ground.
