Up and Down

Up and Down

Up and Down

When a player gets the ball first onto the green, then into the hole in two shots. They may be starting from a greenside hazard, the fairway, or anywhere off of the green, but if they make it onto the green in one shot and into the hole in the next, they got the ball up and down (Kelley, About.com). They get up—onto the green—with the first stroke and down—into the hole—with the second.

When tracking a player's statistics, getting from a trap onto the green in one stroke, then from the green into the hole in a second stroke, is an up and down, and recorded as a sand save (Kelley, About.com).
