In golf, we are not only dealing with German terms. The sport comes from an English-speaking country and of course you can see that in the words. But even on a golf trip, you should know how to behave on a golf course. It therefore makes sense to always remember the relevant rules and etiquette instructions in English. Let's start with a term that is not relevant to the rules:
What is a golf approach?
In golf, an approach is the shot to the flag or hole. In German, such an important golf shot is called an approach shot. But why is an approach shot so important? At the end of a fairway comes the crucial part of the game of golf - the
golf balls have to get into the hole. The first fifty to 500 meters went by quite quickly - but now precision is required. Tactics and precision describe the golf approach - because it is not one type of shot with a single club, but different
golf clubs can be used with different types of shots. Shots such as the chip or the pitch come into play - irons, sand wedges, pitching wedges or specially designed chippers make the difference. If you want to play it safe and save strokes on a round, you should master the approach. Long or short ball flights need to be practiced specifically and repeatedly. Notes on the individual movements in combination with the club help to develop a feeling for distance and stroke. Don't be afraid of the golf approach. You can prepare well on the pitching and chipping areas on any golf course. Training with a golf instructor can also provide help and confidence - concentrate on a few clubs and types of shots if you have problems. Improvements will come naturally with training.
