Golf for Kids Trivia Quiz

Answer: Tee

By raising the ball off the ground, the tee provides the player with an increased chance of getting a clean strike on the ball, which is vital for that all-important first shot on each hole!

Answer: Drive

Unless the hole in question is a short one (thereby requiring the use of a club that will send the ball a shorter distance), a player will generally use one of his or her bigger clubs off the tee to send the ball as far as possible. This shot is generally known as the drive.

Answer: Fairway

Until (s)he gets onto the green, a player always wants to keep his or her ball on the fairway, as this is generally the most favourable surface from which to play subsequent shots. Either side of the fairway is likely to be various hazards, such as longer grass (known as the rough), trees, and possibly water - all of which can cause the player problems with his or her subsequent shot.

Answer: Putter

Sometimes known as the putting green, the green is a very close-cut grass area that houses the hole (which often has a flag inserted to make it easier to see exactly where the hole is) into which the player ultimately needs to deposit his or her ball to complete that particular hole. The putter is a specialised club designed for exactly that purpose.

Answer: Booger

Par is the number of strokes a player should require to complete the hole. Birdie means the player completed the hole in one shot under par (i.e. took one fewer shot than (s)he should have). Eagle means the player completed the hole in two shots under par (i.e. took two fewer shots than (s)he should have).

There is no such term as "booger" used in golf, however the term "bogey" is used in golf, and this means the player completed the hole in one shot over par (i.e. took one more shot than (s)he should have).

Answer: Scotland

Scotland has well over five hundred golf courses, including the iconic St. Andrews, Muirfield, and Carnoustie, all of which have hosted the Open Championship on more than one occasion.

Answer: A green jacket

The tradition of presenting the winner of The Masters with a green jacket began in 1949, and has continued every year since. The winner also becomes an honorary member of the very prestigious Augusta National Golf Club.

Answer: Lionel Messi

American Jack Nicklaus won The Masters six times between 1963 and 1986, Spaniard Seve Ballesteros won the tournament in 1980 and 1983, and Englishman Nick Faldo won it in 1989, 1990, and 1996. Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi has, unsurprisingly, never won The Masters!

Answer: Caddie

A golf caddie is a bit like a co-driver of a rally car, as a good one will be fully aware of the course, its layout, and the various hazards a player might encounter when playing his or her round. It is the caddie's job not only to carry the player's bag, but to provide support and advice towards helping the player perform to the best of his or her ability.

Answer: Andrew, as he got the best score on the previous hole

Known as the "honor", it is always the player who achieved the best score on the previous hole that should have the first shot on the next hole. If the players scored the same on the previous hole, the "honor" remains with the player who had the honor on the hole immediately prior to that.
