Unofficial Glossary (tongue in cheek)
After seeing the woes and the stress that is caused by poor coding and poor design decisions, how about something that tries to reach the lighter side of it all for a change? Perhaps build a list ...

There are few terms I made in other post and I will share it here.
First @Noya_Wesa made a term in one of her post which is:
Lip-hanger = Ball is stuck in a lip out state levitating above the hole.
That is a good one to put in this post.
My new terms are shown below:
1) Cardi Creek = Wolf Creek because this course has excessive backspin that dislodges the ball similar to Cardi B throwing the mic on stage.
2) Maverick 3 = The 3rd hole par 3 at Cardi Creek where players have to emulate Maverick’s climb from Top Gun Maverick.
3) Broccoli Bay = Chambers Bay since the physics in this course resembles making putts and shots on top of Broccoli.
4) Lip-hanger Above Cup Consistently = LACC because lip-hangers are common in this course. As a note the term fits the acronym of LACC.
@PalomaMarvel24 Since you mention the lip hangers, we may as well have a visual aid:
That was the 18th at LACC.
So much for Scotty always claiming that you can't change the laws of physics. Clearly he'd never heard of EA and their uncanny abilities...
I have some more new terms.
Here are some courses:
1) Machu Hills and Picchu Lake = Nicknames for Southern Hills and East Lake because of their overly high elevation. The approach shot resembles climbing Machu Picchu. Both courses also have Butterflies which are common in Peru.
2) Death Star Point = Lighthouse Point since this course has a tractor beam from the bunker similar to the Death Star's tractor beam.
Here are some shots:1) Marvel Flop = Finesse shot that is swung at 60-80% power to make green from 40 to 50 yards away resulting in putts under 5 feet. It resembles a flop shot with Captain Marvel's air speed.
2) I am Captain Marvel = Hitting a chip shot while on the green. Origin of word: The putt preview resembles an obvious but not so good solution to make shot (defeat Thanos in MCU). Dr Strange told Iron Man (actually Captain Marvel in comics) that there are infinite combinations of solutions, but only one non-obvious solution to defeat Thanos exists. That non-obvious solution is "I am Iron Man".
I have updated two terms previously posted:
1) Tarkin Iti = Tara Iti also has a tractor beam on the sand and trees; as a note, Tarkin is commander of the Death Star. Original term is Scarif Iti.
2) Air Allen = To land on the green using a Long Drive in a Par 4. A long drive from a power based golfer with Cameron Champ's driver spec is between 365 - 420 yards. Josh Allen throws for that yardage is his good games. Original term is Josh Allen Got Game.
Here are new terms:
1) Succop Shank = having an approach shot or par 3 go way short of hole. Ryan Succop is a kicker who shanked extra points way short during his rookie year.
2) Mahomes Special = pitch shots of 50 feet or more at difficult par 5s to make eagle or position for a 3 feet birdie. Patrick Mahomes is known at improvisation of passing plays.
It has been a long time since I made new fun terms for the glossary. The last time was when I last played.
The next two terms are inspirations from posts from other pollsters.
Heartbreaker = Whenever a player intentionally misses a putt to complete the par save quest, the heartbeat moment activates.
Heartache = Unable to get a heartbeat moment regardless of how well the shot is made.
