Depth Charge - a putt that is lagged ever so softly down a slope towards the hole, allowing gravity and the angle of the green to work the ball towards the green rather than the force of the putt itself.

Dawn patrol - The golfers who are the first to play each day, so named because they start their match around the course at sunrise.

Perhaps the term comes from the smooth surface and relative flatness of the green, to convey the joy that accompanies finally making it to the green.

Chili Dip - when a chip or pitch shot is hit a much shorter distance than intended/expected.

Cabbage - any type of thick or tall grass, typically found off the fairway or behind the green.

Rest assured that in the vast majority of instances, if a golfer is yelling this word, the final result will indeed 'bite.'

Bite - The insane golfer is often found yelling this word at a ball that is too stupid to know that a bladed lob wedge should not travel 160 yards.

'Snowman' is an acceptable substitute on par 4's.

Beagle - Term used to describe a score of double par on a single hole.

Example: 'Doug's approach shot fell short of the green and into the beach.'

Beach - (aka: 'sand trap' or 'bunker') any hazard on the golf course consisting of sand.

Example: 'I hit driver, 3 wood and then airmailed the green with my wedge.'

Airmail - a shot that carries completely over something.

Albatross - (aka: 'double eagle') a score of 3 under (less than) par.
