A dolly is an unusual and funny golf expression that is used to describe a bad shot that hits very near the player, then bounces back or embarrasses him or her. It is also a joke among players, commonly not included in scoring. The name brings out the light-hearted aspect of golf and reminds players that it is not unusual to make a mistake, and it can be used as a lesson to laugh at it and not to get frustrated.
