A few of the words
- DIVOT
- A divot is the small plug of turf lifted by the clubhead at impact. Replacing, or filling, your divot is one of golf's oldest courtesies, helping the fairway heal quickly for every player who follows.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
- CADDIE
- The word caddie traces to the French 'cadet,' meaning a junior or errand runner. A good caddie reads the wind, the slope, and the yardage all at once, carrying the bag is almost the least of the job.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
- LOFT
- Loft is the angle built into the clubface that launches the ball upward. A pitching wedge carries around 45–48 degrees of loft, while a driver sits as low as 8–10 degrees, the difference between a soaring chip and a piercing drive.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
- APPROACH
- The approach shot is the one that counts most for scoring, the strike from the fairway aimed squarely at the green. Get the yardage right, trust the iron, and the putt becomes a formality.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

About The Fairway
The fairway is the heart of a golf hole, that ribbon of close-cropped grass stretching from tee to green, where a well-struck iron sends a ball soaring on a clean, satisfying arc. Stray a little and the rough grabs the clubhead; stay true and the yardage counts down hole by hole, each divot a small signature left in the turf. There is a particular pleasure in reading the lie, choosing the right loft, and watching the ball land soft and check up close to the flag.
