DOT GAME
DOT GAME or DOTS - a creative popular golf game played between golfers or pairs of golfers. The golfers decide what achievements will score points within their round. Each time a golfer accomplishes an achievement the corresponding number of dots is recorded on the scorecard for that golfer on that hole. At the end of the round the dots are counted to award or settle up with the most accomplished golfers. Achievements can include; greens in regulation, closest to the pin on par 3, sand saves, scoring par, scoring birdie, one putts, long drive, long putt, and so on.
DOUBLE BOGEY - two strokes over par for a hole. A score of six on a par 4 hole. DOUBLE EAGLE - three strokes under par for a hole. A score of two on a par 5 hole. DOWN - the number of stokes or holes a golfer is behind their opponent.

DUFFER’S DELIGHT - the easiest golf club for a duffer to hit, usually a 5-iron because the golf club is shorter than the driver for example, and the club head offers distance. DYING PUTT - a pace oriented putt on the putting green that either just drops in the hole or stops just short of going in. Sometimes necessary on a fast putting green so as to not over hit the putt and possibly 3 putt when putting back to the hole.
