The term ‘wolf’ in golf typically refers to a player who plays strategically or deceptively, kind of like the way a wolf operates within a pack. It’s an interesting metaphor that can describe how some players wait for the right moment to make their move.

I love this term! It feels like it adds a fun twist to the game. I can definitely think of a few friends who fit this description. Anyone else have specific players in mind?

I think ‘wolf’ can imply both good and bad strategies. Some players really utilize this approach effectively, while others may just be sneaky for their own selfish gain. It can definitely impact team dynamics.

Absolutely, and it gets me thinking about competitiveness in golf. Why do some players adopt this ‘wolf’ persona? Is it just for winning, or is there more to it?
