Wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the Aflac commercial above... but I remembered it when I first started working on the project and thought it might end up useful... haven't figured out how yet though lol

Handicap: A numerical representation of a golfer’s playing ability.

Par: The number of strokes per hole it should take a player to sink the ball in the cup. Holes measuring up to 250 yards are called par threes; from 251 to 475 yards are par fours; and any hole above 475 yards is considered a par five.

Ace: A hole-in-one. Hitting the ball into the hole in one stroke.

Regulation: When a player’s ball is on the green in one shot on a par 3 hole; 2 shots on a par 4; or 3 shots on a par 5.

Birdie: A score of one less than par.

Eagle: A score of two under par.

Double eagle or Albatross: A score of three under than par— a very rare occurrence.

Bogey: A score of one over par.

Double bogey: A score of two over par. Generally shortened to “a double.”

Mulligan: In casual play only, a “do-over” shot made to replace a poorly hit shot, taken without counting the stroke toward the score.

Fairway: The center, short-mown portion of a golf hole in between the teeing ground and the green.

The green: or putting green, is the culmination of a golf hole, where the flagstick and hole are located. Getting the golf ball into the hole on the putting green is the object of the game of golf. Every hole on every golf course in existence ends at the putting green.
