Caddy Dictionary, Lingo, & Golf Terms Defined - U

UNPLAYABLE LIE – (n) a declaration where a player moves their ball, according to certain guidelines, incurring a penalty of one stroke.

Golfers sometimes declare this when their ball is inaccessible or impossible to advance with a club.

Liars can also use this term when confessing for why they got caught.

EX: When a golf ball nestles into a nook of tree roots, more times then not, a golfer has to declare an unplayable lie. If you are witnessed fondling your player’s balls, unplayable lies are really all you have to work with.

UP & DOWN – (n) when a player gets the ball into the hole in two strokes beginning from off the green’s surface.

In golf, most shots that go up and remain on a green are rarely followed by a shot that goes down.

Rare masters of the up and down make boatloads of money and turn their opponents red-faced.

EX: A bad ball striker can make up for bad shots by mastering the art of the up and down.

UPHILL LIE – (n/v) when a ball is sitting on an uphill surface or when a lie is difficult to get away with.

In golf it is one of the easiest lies to hit though ironically in life it can be a difficult fib to pull off.

To master the severity of a mounting untruth one has to temporarily loose sanity and believe the lie being told.

Sociopathic golfers can master almost all fibs and most probably this shot.

EX: Pulling one's shot on an uphill lie is common in golf. Pulling uphill lies off successfully with your suspicious girlfriend, well that is a feat indeed.
