Definition: 1. As a verb, "carry" means to clear an obstacle on the golf course. 2. As a noun, "carry" refers to the distance your shots travel from the point of contact with the club to the point they hit the ground. All shots have a little roll to them, which along with carry makes up the full distance. Knowing your carry is important in order to decide whether to attempt to clear a water hazard, for example.
Examples:
1. The Golf Guide carried the lake successfully. 2. The Golf Guide isn't sure he has enough carry to make it over the creek.
