Golf

Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport in which players aim to hit a small ball into a series of holes on a course using as few strokes as possible. A standard round of golf consists of 18 holes, each with a tee box, fairway, rough, and green, where the hole is located. Players use various clubs to navigate the course, and the objective is to complete each hole by putting the ball into the cup, which is typically 4.25 inches in diameter, as efficiently as possible. The game requires skill, strategy, and an understanding of course layout, weather conditions, and the physics of ball movement. Golf is played individually or in groups, and it is governed by a set of standardized rules. The sport is popular worldwide and is known for its emphasis on etiquette and sportsmanship.
