'Cut' should probably be an acceptable answer for fade.

Are we sure about the most LPGA wins answer? Quick search suggested otherwise.

Swear I've heard 'boom boom' Phil Mickelson, seems ridiculous now I think about it though.

I've heard Double Eagle for 3 under par, didn't know albatross.

Double 2 makes 3? If anything, a 3-under should be An-Eagle-and-a-Half.

You're asking sports terms to make sense? Like how tennis points are love, 15, 30, and 40?

Double Eagle is indeed a term for -3.

It is a correct term but it still doesn't make sense. I've always called it an albatross. They are all named after birds, even a hole in one on a par 5 is called a condor.

I added "one-word" to the clue to get rid of this double eagle nonsense. Some interesting facts: The odds of shooting an albatross are 1 in 6 million. But it's possible to do even better. A hole-in-one on a par 5 is known as a "condor", and has actually been done four times.

It's not nonsense...I've never heard of an albatross and I've heard of a double eagle a number of times. Wikipedia notes the same.

An albatross around your neck for not accepting double eagle from the start. ;-)

I don't know how often you watch/play golf, but I've known about the term albatross for more than 25 years. The term double-eagle is a misnomer anyway.

Can you accept Solheim Cup for the biennial tournament, or make the question say "Men's Professional" (could also be Walker or Curtis, except those are GB&I, not whole Europe)

"Caddyshack" & "Tin Cup", but no "Happy Gilmore"?

Just came back from a golf course and saw your golf quiz, which is a great one - not too difficult, but sure it helps if one is a golfer. Condor was a new term.

A pull is when you swing outside to in, causing it to start left and stay there. A hook is when you start is straight, and unintentionally curve the ball left.

Kept trying to put that great Oscar-winning golfer Jack Nicholson as an answer.... I'm a dumb.

Should add "Who has the most consecutive PGA wins with eleven?" It's a shame this legend is left out.

Always thought fade was a bad 90's haircut.
