Nobble

British golf slang for topping a shot or making poor contact with the ball, resulting in a weak shot that doesn't achieve proper trajectory or distance. Nobbling typically occurs when golfers hit the top of the ball or make contact with the leading edge of the club rather than the sweet spot. This term reflects golf's rich international vocabulary and colorful language for describing poor shots. Understanding various golf terminology helps golfers communicate effectively and appreciate the game's cultural diversity. Avoiding nobbled shots requires proper setup, ball position, and swing mechanics.
