Golf

Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport, where players aim to hit a small ball into a series of holes on a course using the fewest number of strokes. The game is typically played on a large outdoor course with 18 holes, each featuring a tee box, fairway, rough, and green, as well as various hazards such as bunkers and water bodies. Players use different types of clubs to achieve various shots, including drivers, irons, and putters. The objective is to complete the course by getting the ball into each hole from the tee in as few strokes as possible. Golf is known for its emphasis on skill, strategy, and etiquette, as well as for its social and recreational aspects. It is popular worldwide and has a rich history as both a competitive sport and a leisurely pastime. Golf is also governed by a specific set of rules and regulations established by organizations such as the United States Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.
