Golf Slang: "On a rope"

Golfers refer to their "go-to shot" as the type of shot they are most comfortable hitting, especially when they are a bit nervous.

A "blow-up hole" refers to a hole where you shoot a much higher score than you generally would for that hole.

A "flat stick" is a common golf jargon that refers to a player's putter (a type of golf club). A putter's face is relatively flat, unlike other clubs.

"Drive for show, putt for dough" is a common phrase in golf that highlights the importance of putting in golf.

Grounding the club is when you set up to a shot and your club touches the ground behind the ball. This is not allowed in the bunker or hazards.

When someone plays a "dead hands shot", it generally refers to a short game shot where they use as little wrist action as possible.

"You're away" is golf slang which means you are the furthest from the hole and it is your turn to play.

A play on words, the "foot wedge" is where a golfer who dislikes his/her lie kicks the ball to a more favorable position. This is not legal to do in golf.

When someone has "soft hands", that means that they have great feel around the greens and are good at chipping and pitching.
