No.7
The Parlance
Spanish golfer Seve Ballesteros on the 17th green during a Ryder Cup match at The Belfry, Warwickshire, 15th September 1985.

Dormie?

No.6
The Parlance
Although passed by technology, niblick remains relevant as a term and in the bags of golf traditionalists. Photo by Sarah Fabian-Baddiel/Heritage Images/Getty Images

Shots Fired

The Parlance
