Eagle - Unusually low score on a hole achieved by a golfer with an exceptionally good drive and one or two exceptionally good follow-up shots, or by a golfer with an exceptionally poor memory.

Elephant's Ass - A poorly struck shot that is "high and stinky." Usually applied to a popped-up drive that is higher than it is long. An elephant's ass might also prompt a comment such as, "Except for distance and direction, that was a good shot."

Equipment - According to the rules of golf, equipment is "anything that can be thrown, broken, kicked, twisted, torn, crushed, shredded or mangled; or propelled, driven or directed, either under its own power or by means of a transfer of momentum, into underbrush, trees or other overgrown terrain; or over the edge of a natural or artificially elevated area; or below the surface of any body of water, whether moving or impounded."

Equitable Stroke Control Method - Stroke index of a hole on a course. Used in Stableford and match play competitions.

* Never put tees in your nose.
* Never sneeze into your glove.
* Never concede a chip shot.
* Never hold a ball for another player to hit.
* Never practice drives against a backboard.
* Never wear golf shoes to a dance.

Exact Handicap - A players handicap measured to the nearest 10th.

Explosion Shot - A shot in which, after a poorly swung sand wedge fails to contact enough sand, the ball flies off the face of the club and the player flies off the handle.
