If a struck ball comes to a lie in casual water, the golfer may lift it and drop it in a dry spot that is no nearer to the hole without taking a penalty. Balls that are chili dipped usually travel no more than a few feet. If the green is not in a straight line ahead of the tee, the hole is called a dogleg because it's shaped like a dog's leg. Fried egg - A fried egg is a golf ball that lands and become partially imbedded in a sand trap. Hazard - Any obstacle on the golf course, such as sand bunkers, grass bunkers, lakes or ponds, is a hazard.
Players take a penalty stroke if they ground their club in the hazard.
This means they cannot touch the grass, sand or water with the club face before making a stroke at the ball. Par - This is the score expert players are expected to make on a hole. Par allows two strokes on the putting green. So, if a hole is a par 3, players are expected to use one shot to reach the green and two putts to put the ball in the cup. Save - Scoring a par on a hole after missing the green and landing in the rough or in a bunker.
