Golf Definition
Golf is defined, in the rules of golf, as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules." Golf competition is generally played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known simply as stroke play, or the lowest score on the most individual holes during a complete round by an individual or team, known as match play.
Where Played
Golf is one of the few ball games that does not require a standardized playing area,meaning that, providing you have a hole, a teeing-ground, a club and a ball, it can, theoretically, be played anywhere!
Although Golf can be played anywhere it is traditionally played on designated areas called " Golf Courses," each of which features a unique design, although courses typically consist of either nine or 18 holes.Each of which will have a ‘par’ of three, four or five – though there are rare exceptions to this rule. On a ‘par-four’ or a longer ‘par-five’ hole, players will aim to hit the fairway with their first shot before attempting to reach the green with their next strokes. On a ‘par-three’, however, a player will attempt to strike the ball onto the green, directly from the teeing-ground.
