GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — With the Ryder Cup being held in Italy for the first time, The Associated Press has put together a glossary of golf terms in Italian that might be heard around the Marco Simone club this week. While golf remains a niche sport in Italy and local players still borrow most of the terms from English, there are some Italian words that are widely used. Signs directing fans around the course outside Rome are written in both English and Italian:

GLOSSARY (with pronouncers)

Buca (BOO-kah): hole; buche (BOO-keh): holes

Bandiera (bahn-di-AIR-uh): flag
