Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport in which players aim to hit a ball into a series of holes on a course using as few strokes as possible. The game is typically played on an outdoor course that consists of 18 holes, each with a unique layout, which may include various terrains, such as grass, sand, water, and trees. Players use different types of clubs to achieve varying distances and trajectories, with the primary objective being to complete the course in the least number of strokes. Golf is known for its emphasis on skill, strategy, and etiquette, as well as its rich traditions and history. It can be played individually or in groups, and it is a popular recreational activity worldwide. Golfers often participate in tournaments, and the sport has a governing body, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A), which oversees the rules and regulations of the game.
