Golf is a 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.

Golf, unlike most ball games, cannot and does not utilize a standardized playing

area, and coping with the varied terrains encountered on different courses is a key

part of the game. The game at the usual level is played on a course with an arranged

progression of 18 holes, though recreational courses can be smaller, often having

nine holes. Each hole on the course must contain a teeing ground to start from, and

a putting green containing the actual hole or cup 4+1⁄4 inches (11 cm) in diameter.

There are other standard forms of terrain in between, such as the fairway, rough

(long grass), bunkers (or “sand traps”), and various hazards (water, rocks) but each

hole on a course is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.

Golf is played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known as stroke

play, or the lowest score on the most individual holes in a complete round by an

individual or team, known as match play. Stroke play is the most commonly seen

format at all levels, but most especially at the elite level.

The modern game of golf originated in 15th century Scotland. The 18-hole round

was created at the Old Course at St Andrews in 1764. Golf’s first major, and the

world’s oldest tournament in existence, is The Open Championship, also known as

the British Open, which was first played in 1860 at the Prestwick Golf Club in

Ayrshire, Scotland. This is one of the four major championships in men’s

professional golf, the other three being played in the United States: The Masters, the

U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship. Golf owes its fame in the British Isles to the

latitude-due natural vegetation exiguity
