About
Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport in which competing players (or golfers) use many types of clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course using the fewest number of strokes. Golf is played on a course that consists of either 9 or 18 holes, each with a teeing ground, fairway, rough, and other hazards, and a green with a flagstick (pin) marking the hole. The sport requires both physical skill and mental strategy, making it challenging and rewarding for players of all skill levels.
