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. The game is played on a large outdoor course that consists of either 9 or 18 holes, each featuring a tee box, fairway, rough, and green. Players use a variety of clubs to strike the ball, with each type designed for different aspects of the game, including driving, approaching, and putting.

The objective is to complete each hole in the fewest strokes, with the overall score determined by the total number of strokes taken to complete all holes in the course. Golf is known for its unique etiquette, including respect for other players and the environment. The sport can be played individually or in teams and is governed by various international and national organizations that outline rules, regulations, and competitions. Golf is popular worldwide and is recognized for its emphasis on skill, strategy, and mental fortitude.
