狗腿洞, 弯曲的球洞
a golf hole that bends to the left or right
A dogleg in golf refers to a hole that bends or turns to the left or right, forming an angle rather than being a straight path. The bend in the hole can vary in sharpness, and it requires players to adjust their strategy for the shot. A dogleg can make a hole more challenging, as it forces players to decide whether to aim for the corner of the turn or take a safer, longer route around it. The term "dogleg" is used because the shape of the hole resembles the shape of a dog’s hind leg.

急转弯, 弯道
a sharp bend or turn in a road
A dogleg is a term used to describe a road or path that bends sharply or has a sharp turn, often resembling the shape of a dog's leg. It is commonly found in areas where a road changes direction suddenly, forcing vehicles to make a quick turn, typically to the left or right. Doglegs are often seen in urban street layouts, rural roads, or areas with obstacles that require a shift in direction. Drivers need to approach doglegs cautiously to navigate the sharp turn safely.
