Ace
When a player hits the ball directly from the tee into the hole with one stroke. Also called a hole in one.
Address
The act of taking a stance and placing the club-head behind the ball. If the ball moves once a player has addressed the ball, there is a one-stroke penalty. Unless it is clear that the act of the player did not cause the ball to move on purpose. If the player addresses the ball and places the head of the club behind it and in doing this causes the ball to move, a one shot penalty does not occur in this case.
Aerosol
A player who rarely hits the ball in a consistent line. One who sprays the ball.
Aggregate
Refers to a score made over more than one round of play, or by two or more players playing as partners.
Aim
Generally, the direction in which your target lies and the direction you intend for your ball to go.
Air shot
A shot where the player addresses the balls, swings, and completely misses the golf-ball. An air shot is counted as a stroke. See also whiff.
Knock-down
A type of shot designed to have a very low trajectory, usually employed to combat strong winds.
Lag
A long putt designed to simply get the ball close to the hole.
Lay-up
A stroke played with a shorter range club than is possible in order to position the ball in a certain spot. This may be done to ensure a more comfortable next stroke or to avoid a hazard.
Lie
How the ball is resting on the ground, which may add to the difficulty of the next stroke.
Line
The path the ball is expected to take following a stroke. This is of particular importance on the green, where stepping on another player’s line is considered a breach of etiquette.
Links
A type of golf course, usually located on coastal sand dunes.

R&A
Since 2004 the governing body of golf throughout the world except the United States and Mexico, where this responsibility rests with the United States Golf Association (USGA). It works in collaboration with national amateur and professional golf organizations in over 110 countries. The R&A is a separate organisation from the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews which formerly performed this role.
Range Finder
A measuring device used to determine one’s relative distance to an object. In golf, they are most commonly used to find out how far a player is from the hole.
Redan
A hole that has a green which slopes downward and away from the point of entrance, typically the front right portion of the green, inspired by the original Redan hole on the North Berwick West Links, Scotland.
Release
