English to Spanish Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Golf

From a caddying documentary, the sentence talks about several qualities that might affect a shot:

Links golf requires an unbelievable imagination, and it requires an unbelievable amount of knowledge from the caddie as far as where the wind's going, how far is this ball gonna run downwind, what covers are gonna be into the wind.

All my searches whether cover is a golf specific term came up fruitless. Could the word have been mistranscribed for another golf term instead?
