Usage Context

Used to talk about golfing, leisure activities, or spending time outdoors. It is also frequently used in professional or corporate slang to describe 'hitting the target' or completing a business goal, much like reaching the end of a round. Often paired with 🏌️ or ⛳ to set the scene.

History
