Donna Taylor and Brittney Boo are diving into one of their favorite things to teach \u2014 and one of the things beginners are most embarrassed to ask about: golf language.  Golf has its own vocabulary, and no one ever really explains it. This episode is your judgment-free, beginner-friendly guide to the words you hear on the course \u2014 and what they actually mean.  \ud83d\udca1 What Inspired This Episode This episode was inspired by one of Donna\u2019s students during a putting class. The student asked what the word \u201cspan\u201d meant and looked at Donna like she was speaking a different language.  That was the lightbulb moment: We assume people know these words \u2014 but no one is teaching them.  So today\u2026 welcome to Golf Lingo 101.  \u26f3 In This Episode, We Cover: Core Golf Course Terms *Tee box *Fairway *Rough *Green *Fringe *Pin \/ Flagstick *Break *Line  Scoring Terms (Made Simple) *Par *Bogey *Double bogey *Triple bogey *Birdie *Eagle *Gross score *Net score *A beginner-friendly explanation of what a handicap is  Swing &amp;amp; Contact Terms *Address *Loft *Clubface *Fat \/ Chunk *Thin \/ Skull \/ Skinny *Toe \/ Heel *Shank *Sweet spot *Tempo vs. rhythm  Putting Terms *Span *Mark *Lag Putt *Pace *Break *Inside the leather  Tournament &amp;amp; Social Golf Terms *Scramble *Best ball *Shotgun start  \ud83d\udcac Final Thoughts We want every beginner listening to hear this loud and clear: \ud83d\udc49 You are not supposed to know this language yet. Golf vocabulary is huge. It\u2019s weird. And it\u2019s full of traditions that no one ever explains. Give yourself grace, ask questions, and keep learning.  If there are words you still hear on the course and don\u2019t understand, send them to us \u2014 we\u2019ll happily make a Part Two.
