(also "dancing, on the dance floor") safely on the green with an approach shot
Example: Well, you might not be close to the hole but at least you're aboard.

(also called a "hole-in-one") a score of 1 on a hole -- holing the first shot, or tee shot, on a hole
Example: An ace or hole in one is usually made on a par 3, but occasionally it happens on a par 4.

(also called "set up" or "address position") the position that the player assumes when preparing to make a stroke
Example: The address position is one of the main keys to consistency in golf.

(also "back side") the last 9 holes (10-18) of an 18 hole golf course
Example: She played much better on the back nine than on the front.

the rearmost edge of the hole from the perspective of the player
Example: I thought I had missed the putt, but it fell in the backdoor.

(also sometimes called "juice") reverse rotation on the ball
Example: A ball that is struck below it's equator with a lofted club will usually have backspin.

the backward movement of the body and club (away from the ball and target) in the golf swing in preparation for the downswing
Example: If you can get to the top of the backswing correctly the downswing will almost happen by itself.

deep rough or vegetation off the fairway
Example: I decided to take an unplayable lie when I saw the cabbage my ball was in.

(also "caddie, looper") someone who carries a players bag of clubs and/or assists a player with advice and the details of play
Example: She asked her caddy/looper to help her read the putt.

(also "wave up") common practice at some courses (usually on par 3 holes) where the group ahead (group A) signals for the group behind (group B) to play their shots when group A reaches the green rather than waiting for them to finish the hole (it is done in an attempt to improve pace of play) -- also could be when group A wishes for group B to play-through at any point on the course
Example: Call up/wave up the group on the tee; John has to look for his ball and it may take a while.

(also "green, putting green, putting surface, dancing, aboard") 1. the putting surface 2. on the putting surface, though perhaps not as close as you'd like
Example: Wow, that will be a tough putt, but at least you're on the dance floor/dancing.

(also "dead hand shot, dead-handed shot") a technique in which the hands hold the club with very little tension and do not move much, if at all, in relation to the arms, typically used to create soft shots with less spin than usual
Example: He hit a dead hand/dead hands/dead-handed shot to try to get the ball to stay near where it landed.

(also "overall weight") the total weight of a golf club (see also "swingweight")
Example: The dead weight/overall weight of clubs is different than the swingweight.
