Flier (Flyer)

« Back to Glossary Index

Flier:

Flier (or flyer) is a golf shot those travels much farther than intended. Usually, it is an approach shot from rough when grass gets trapped between the clubface and the ball at impact. As a result, the golfer is unable to apply backspin, and the ball goes completely beyond the intended target area.

Other names: shooter, jumper, airmail.
