EUROPE : : Les termes de golf qui y sont acceptés sont presque tous empruntés à l'anglais. Ainsi, on a d'abord francisé l'orthographe et la prononciation du mot «putter» en «poteur»; cependant, sous l'influence de «putting» et de «putt», on a tendance à revenir à la graphie et à la prononciation anglaises. 6, record 2, French, - fer%20droit
