If we call em baskets...

I didn't think of this question, but I didn't have a good answer.
If we call em baskets- then why do we play HOLE # ___?

Have you seen how many holes are in most baskets? ;-) And technically, they are called targets where the basket is just a part of the target.

Good one chuck;)

Because the sport is based on ball golf with frugality in mind.

[Donny Olow]

I have heard the word Pole-Holes.
