- O.B. (Oscar Bravo, set it free) - Out-of-bounds.
- off-center hit - Less than a solid strike.
- offset - Club with the head set farther behind the shaft than normal.
- one up - Being one hole ahead in the match score.
- one-putt - To take only a single putt on a green.
- open face - Clubface aligned to the right of the target at address, or to the right of its path at impact. Can lead to a shot going to the right of the target.
- open stance - Player sets up with the left foot pulled back, away from the ball.
- open up the hole - When your tee shot leaves the best possible angle for the next shot to the green.
- out-of-bounds - Area outside the boundaries of the course, usually marked with white posts. When a ball finishes "O.B.," the player must return to the original spot and play another ball under penalty of one stroke. He or she thus loses stroke and distance.

- outside in - Swing path followed by the clubhead into the ball from outside the ball-target line. (See inside out.)
- over the green - Ball hit too far.
- overclub - To use a club that will hit the ball too far.
