vert; pelouse d'arrivée; green; putting green : «Green» et «putting green», couramment utilisés en Europe francophone, sont des anglicismes au Canada où l'usage de «vert» est répandu. Quant à «pelouse d'arrivée» ou «arrivée» pour désigner le vert, ils ne semblent guère trouver preneurs au Canada même si certains puristes en prônent l'usage. 6, record 1, French, - vert
