Definition
People sometimes use terms like “that’s a terrible lie” or “he has a perfect lie in the middle of the fairway” to describe the lie of the golf ball on the grass and how easy or hard it will be to hit well. An example of a “bad lie” might be a golf ball that lies low in a mat of dense grass. A “good lie” occurs when a golfer’s ball is perched precisely in the center of the fairway.
Usage
How unfortunate for you; what a horrible falsehood!
