Fairway
CourseThe closely mown area of grass between the tee and the green, intended as the ideal path to the hole.
Explained Simply
Hitting the fairway off the tee is one of the most important skills in golf. The short grass gives you a clean lie for your next shot, while missing the fairway often means dealing with rough, trees, or hazards.
Example
""I hit my drive straight down the fairway, leaving myself 150 yards to the pin.""
