Golf term
Up-and-Down
An up-and-down is getting the ball into the hole in two shots from off the green — typically one chip, pitch, or bunker shot followed by one putt.
Up-and-down percentage measures short-game and putting effectiveness together. In strokes gained terms, a converted up-and-down usually shows up as positive around-the-green and putting numbers.
