| Word/Phrase

Definition
|
| Fan
|
To miss the ball completely. The air moves, but nothing else does.
|
| Fat, hit it
|
To hit the ground behind the ball first so that the shot has no spin and does not achieve the desired distance. Results often resemble an elephant's ass.
|
| Flop shot
|
A high, delicate shot that travels only a short distance and then rolls very little once it lands on the green. Essentially, it is flopped onto the green.
|
| Flub
|
A terrible shot. Putt, chip, pitch, drive&mdash
|
| Four-jack
|
To take four putts on a hole. Only tolerable for those who can drive the green on a par five. When asked how he four-jacked a hole at the Masters, Steve Ballesteros replied, "I miss. I miss. I miss. I make." Well said.
