ingolf,what is a hole with a sharp bend between the tee and the green called?

Answer 1

According to my husband,it is called a dogleg!! Don't ask me I know nothing!!!

Answer 2

A dogleg. They can go either left or right.

Definition:
This term refers to the direction of an individual golf hole. Many holes are straightaway from the tee box to the green. However, some holes bend, usually near the middle, in one direction or the other. A hole that bends is called a dogleg. If the hole turns to the left, it is called a "dogleg left." If it turns to the right, it is called a "dogleg right." The change of direction of a dogleg usually occurs near the point where a good drive is expected to land. A hole that bends twice - first one direction, then another - is a "double dogleg" (only par-5s are long enough to be true double doglegs).

Common misspellings:
Dog leg, Dog-leg

Answer 3

This is known as a dogleg as ever1 else has stated .Which if u r a longer hitter, u maybe able to hit across the entire dogleg and bypass the dogleg entirely. But if it is a long hole u may have to play out wide to get a look at the green. Sorry if this was too much info...but u never know!
