Question
hi.  what are the terms used to describe each of the strikes in a perfect game?  i.e. strike, double, turkey, etc...? thanks.

Answer
Once you get past the turkey, it is usually local terms.  Common term is the number of strikes followed by the word bagger.........such as 5 bagger or 8 bagger.  6 is sometimes called a six pack.  A string can also be called by using the number with front in frong of it..........such as the front 9.

I am sure I have missed some from other regions.

This is the list from KY :)

Good luck,
Chip
