Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport where players aim to hit a small ball into a series of holes on a course using as few strokes as possible. The game typically consists of 18 holes, each with a teeing ground, fairway, and green where the hole is located. Players use various clubs to hit the ball over varying distances and terrains, navigating obstacles such as sand traps and water hazards. Golf can be played individually or in teams, and it is characterized by its etiquette, rules, and the concept of stroke play or match play. The sport is played worldwide and is known for its leisurely pace, technical skill, and strategic elements.
