Golfing terms - slang?
When playing socially we play for "bits" - "nearest the pin" on each par 3 is a bit and we carry it forward to the next par 3 if no one hits the green.
We have always called this an "ousla" or "ouslam" or something that sounds a bit like that.
Does anyone know the correct term? Its spelling or origin?
Google has failed me
Cheers

Oozles & Foozles<p> At a par 3 the player on the green nearest the flag after one shot has to hole out in two putts or better for an oozle and a unit. If the player fails to do this it is a foozle and is a loss of a unit. If no-one hits the green then the oozles can accumulate on subsequent par 3s. One-off oozles can also be played for gorillas who drive par 4s. </p><p> </p><p> From Golfalot website on golf formats.</p>

Dead sheep- when you sail a putt way passed the hole and it's "still ewe" to play!
