Dogleg
Hole that bends left or right
Pronunciation
/ˈdɒɡ.lɛɡ/
Definition
A hole where the fairway curves significantly to the left (dogleg left) or right (dogleg right) between tee and green. Doglegs require strategic shot placement and club selection, as cutting the corner can shorten the hole but carries risk.
Example
"The dogleg left favored players who could hit a draw."
