The term "Scot" can have multiple meanings depending on its context.
1) In a general sense, it could refer to someone from Scotland or something related to that country such as its culture, people, or language. For example, you might hear the phrase "the Scottish Highlands are breathtakingly beautiful."
2) It can also be used in reference to a type of whiskey produced in Scotland known as Scotch Whisky. So if someone says they enjoy drinking scotch, they mean they prefer this particular alcoholic beverage.
3) In the context of golf, "scot" refers to a penalty stroke that is added to a player's score when their ball comes to rest near or on an obstruction such as a tree root or rock. So if someone says "I scotted my ball," they mean it ended up in a bad position and resulted in them taking a penalty shot.
