Golf Terms Part 1 Quiz

Golf Terms Part 1 Quiz explores the simple words that quietly carry the game’s history forward. An interesting anecdote from early tournament play shows that golfers once argued more about terminology than scores, especially when Par began replacing older local standards. As scoring evolved, terms like Birdie and Bogey helped players describe success and failure without lengthy explanations. Even equipment related language tells a story, including what is the name of the small peg the golf ball is rested on at the beginning of a hole, an addition that transformed how opening shots were played. Knowing these terms builds confidence and curiosity, turning golf from a confusing set of rules into a sport with a clear and engaging vocabulary.
