Golf

Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit a ball into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible. The game is typically played on an outdoor course that consists of 18 holes, each with a tee box, fairway, rough, and green, where the hole is located. Players take turns hitting the ball from the teeing ground, aiming to reach the hole, which is usually 4 to 5 inches in diameter, using as few strokes as possible. The main objective is to complete the course with the lowest total score, which is achieved by minimizing the number of strokes taken. Golf can be played individually or in teams, and it is governed by standardized rules and etiquette that emphasize sportsmanship. The sport is known for its emphasis on technique, strategy, and mental discipline. Golf is enjoyed globally, with professional tours, as well as recreational play for leisure and social interaction.
