Golf

Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport that is played on a course with the objective of hitting the ball into a series of holes using as few strokes as possible. Players use a variety of clubs to hit a small, hard ball towards a series of holes, typically 18, which are located in a specific sequence across the course. The game is played on intentionally designed terrains that may include a combination of grass, sand traps, water hazards, and other obstacles. Golf is known for its emphasis on skill, strategy, and etiquette, with players often adhering to a code of conduct that emphasizes sportsmanship and respect for other players and the environment. The game can be played individually or in teams, and it is enjoyed recreationally and competitively at various levels, including amateur and professional ranks. Scoring in golf is based on the number of strokes taken to complete each hole and the overall round, with lower scores being more desirable.
