Lexique du golf
Here you will find a complete list of French golf vocabulary. While some of these words are unique to French, many of them are taken directly from English. Over the past few years the sport of golf has become increasingly popular in France. This is especially true for visitors from the UK who enjoy playing on the beautiful courses around the Channel and at other more exotic locations such as Côte d’Azur.
