The answer to the Bad thing to be in, in poker … or good thing to be in, in golf NYT crossword clue is "HOLE."
The word "hole" holds contrasting meanings in the contexts of poker and golf, making it an interesting and clever term. In poker, being in a "hole" refers to having a disadvantage, often related to having a weak hand or losing position, which can lead to a bad outcome in the game.
The phrase "in the hole" is also used to describe a player who is in debt or losing money. Conversely, in golf, getting the ball "in the hole" is the ultimate objective and a sign of success. Achieving this means the player has completed the hole, ideally in the least number of strokes possible, which is the primary goal of the sport.
