Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit a ball into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible. The game is typically played on an outdoor course consisting of 18 holes, although there are courses with fewer holes, such as 9. Each hole is composed of a teeing ground, fairway, rough, and a putting green, which contains the hole itself. Players aim to complete each hole by striking the ball with their clubs, navigating obstacles such as trees, water hazards, and sand traps. Golf is known for its emphasis on strategy, skill, and mental focus, and is governed by a set of standardized rules. It can be played individually or in teams, and it is popular worldwide for both recreational play and competitive tournaments.
