Introduction to Golf

Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport, where players aim to hit a ball into a series of holes on a course using as few strokes as possible. The game is played on a course consisting of 18 holes, each with a teeing ground, fairway, rough, and green.

  • Clubs: Typically, a golfer carries 14 clubs, including drivers, irons, and putters.
  • Golf Balls: Designed for distance and control, golf balls have a dimpled surface.
  • Tees: Small devices used to elevate the ball for the first stroke of each hole.

Understanding the basic rules is essential for playing golf. Key rules include:

  • Each hole is played from the tee to the hole in the least number of strokes.
