Who is a "hooker"?

A hooker is a player in rugby who plays in the front row of the team’s formation and is responsible for winning the ball during a special play where players push against each other by hooking the ball with their feet. This player is strong, with a focus on stability and technique to ensure the team’s formation remains solid and effective. The hooker also plays an important role in lineouts, throwing the ball in, and in general play, supporting both the attack and defense.

Example

The hooker expertly won the ball in the scrum.

She trained hard to perfect her skills as a hooker.

Who is a "hooker"?

In golf, a hooker refers to a player who regularly hits a hook, which is a type of shot where the ball curves sharply to the left for a right-handed player or to the right for a left-handed player in the air. This unintended curve can make the ball veer off the intended line of flight. A golfer who is known as a hooker typically has a swing that naturally produces this result, whether due to grip, swing path, or stance. While a hook can sometimes be controlled to benefit the golfer, it is generally considered an error if it causes the ball to go off course.

Example

At the driving range, the hooker practiced hitting straighter shots.

The hooker was determined to fix his swing flaw before the next competition.
