A golf hole where the fairway bends to the right
In the world of golf, a “Dogleg Right” refers to a golf hole where the fairway twists towards the right, hiding the green from the tee. This interesting name comes from the likeness of the bend to a dog’s leg.
Playing on a dogleg right hole requires the golfer to plan their shots carefully. This is because it’s trickier than a straight course where the hole is clearly visible from the tee.
You might also hear the term “dogleg left”. As you might guess, this refers to a hole where the fairway bends towards the left. And if the hole curves twice? That’s a “double dogleg”!
