- “The hosel is the part of the club that connects the head to the shaft.
- “A divot is the chunk of grass you take on your full swing,” Paige continued.
- “Hitting it fat means you took too much grass, and hitting it think means that you didn’t take any at all.
- “Mashed potatoes is what you scream on a golf course when you want to be the most hated person there.
- “A draw is a shot that moves right to left. A fade is a shot that moves left to right.
- “A hook is a shot that goes farther right, really far left. A slice is one that moves left to really far right,” Spiranac concluded.

Paige Spiranac asked people to comment with their favorite golf term or slang
Naturally, many Twitterers complied with her request.
Favorite golf term = chili dip. When you hit a chip shot fat. I’ve always thought this was like when your tortilla chip breaks as you’re dipping it in chili.
And (have to be that guy) technically a sandie is getting up and down from the trap FOR PAR.

There’s also “this guy” (and he wasn’t alone).
“Awesome, Paige. But don’t forget there are left handed golfers who would differ with your definition of draw, fade, hook, and slice,” he tweeted.
Whip cream on 💩- when you have a terrible hole and chip in or make a ridiculously long put.
