Golf

Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport in which players aim to hit a ball into a series of holes on a course, using as few strokes as possible. The game is typically played on an outdoor course that consists of 18 holes, each with a teeing ground, fairway, and putting green, surrounded by various obstacles such as bunkers and water hazards. Players use different types of clubs to strike the ball, with the objective of completing the course in the fewest number of strokes. Golf is known for its unique terminology, etiquette, and emphasis on individual skill and strategy. The sport is played worldwide, both recreationally and competitively, and is governed by a set of standardized rules established by the R&A and the USGA. Golf is also recognized for its social and leisurely aspects, often played in groups and in varied settings, making it a popular pastime and professional sport.
