Golf is a sport in which a player, using several
types of clubs, hits a ball into each hole on the
golf course in the lowest possible number of
strokes. Golf is one of the few ball games that
does not use a standardised playing area;
rather, the game is played on golf "courses,"
each one of which has a unique design and
typically consists of either 9 or 18 separate
holes. Golf is defined in the Rules of Golf as
"playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground
into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in
accordance with the Rules."
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St
AndrewsThe first game of golf for which records
survive was played at Bruntsfield Links, in
Edinburgh, Scotland, in A.D. 1456, recorded in
the archives of the Edinburgh Burgess Golfing
Society, now The Royal Burgess Golfing Society.
Golf has become a worldwide sport, with golf
courses in the majority of countries.
Golf competition may be played as stroke play, in
which the individual with the lowest number of
strokes is declared the winner, or as match play
with the winner determined by whichever
individual or team posts the lower score on the
most individual holes during a complete round.
In addition, team events such as fourball have
been introduced, and these can be played using
either the stroke or matchplay format. Alternative
ways to play golf have also been introduced,
such as miniature golf and disc golf.
