Golf

A game played on a large outdoor course with a series of 9 or 18 holes spaced far apart, the object being to propel a small, hard ball with the use of various clubs into each hole with as few strokes as possible is known as golf. It is a game in which a small, white ball is struck with wooden or metal-headed clubs over a course of usu. Eighteen holes placed at some distance from one another around natural or artificial obstacles, the object being to sink the ball into each successive hole in as few strokes as possible. The origins of the game are difficult to ascertain, although evidence now suggests that early forms of golf were played in the Netherlands first and then in Scotland. Golf is generally regarded as a gentle aerobic activity that does not require superb fitness to play and various techniques also.
