English term

coming down the home straight

English to Swedish Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Golfuttryck
As a perfect balance of risk and reward, the ninth must rate amongst one of the best par-fives in the world. As a precursor to the back nine, this is the hole where a swing of two or three shots can make things really interesting coming down the home straight.

på väg till klubbhuset

'Home straight' is normally used for the very last part of a race or competition. In golf the last hole is (almost always) situated with the green next to the club house. And that's where the very interesting part is: Who’s on top of the leader board.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Mitch Hammarstrom : Like Lars said, it means the last part of the race. However, I wouldn't use på väg till klubbhuset...I'd say: "Kan göra så att sista delen av spelet blir interesant"...Keep it simple.
