Push

Slice

A shot that starts near the target and curves hard to the right, usually losing distance.

Hook

A shot that starts near the target, then curves hard to the left, often diving into trouble.

Pull

A straight shot (no curve) that starts and stays to the left of the target.

Draw

A gentle, intentional curve toward the left that still finishes on target, most golfers' idea of an ideal shot shape.

Fade

A gentle, intentional curve toward the right that still finishes on target, most golfers' idea of an ideal shot shape.

Double Cross

When a golfer aiming to hit a draw or fade gets the opposite curve instead, often a much bigger miss than usual.
