English term or phrase: boost holes
EXAMPLE
When The European Tour is being staged at a course where typical scores are around 67, you will receive a high boost such as 5 shots. In difficult course conditions where the pros struggle to break par, you might on the other hand receive only 1 boost shot.

The boost is added to your existing handicap. This means that if your handicap is 10, and the boost for the week is 3, you receive additional shots on the holes with a stroke index of 11, 12 and 13 on the course you are playing. You can see the **boost holes** (marked in blue) on your match play scorecard in the Your Race to Dubai section.

French translation:les trous d'encouragement
Explanation:
My translation is consistent with the text submitted by Asker. The word "encouragement" means that laggard players are given an opportunity to perform, that is, to reduce their handicap (being way above par, in golf lingo) from the 11th to the 13th hole
