Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible. The objective is to complete each hole in the least number of strokes, with the overall goal being to achieve the lowest score over the entire course. Golf is typically played on an outdoor course featuring 18 holes, although some courses have fewer. Each hole is unique, comprising a teeing ground, a fairway, hazards such as bunkers and water, and a green with a hole marked by a flag. Golf can be played individually or in teams, and it emphasizes skill, strategy, and focus. The game is governed by a specific set of rules, and it is known for its emphasis on etiquette and integrity. Players aim to develop techniques for driving, approach shots, chipping, and putting to enhance their overall performance on the course. Golf has a rich history and is played competitively at various levels around the world, including amateur and professional tournaments.
