Golf

Golf is an outdoor game where individual players or teams play a small ball into a hole using various clubs. Golf is believed to have been first played in Scotland and has been played for several centuries in the British Isles and continuously in the United States since 1887. Golf is one of the ball games that does not use a fixed, standardised playing field or area. The club is swung at the motionless ball on the ground from a side-stance. Score is kept (a count of the number of strokes required) with the smallest score being the best. the round of the golf typically consists of 18 holes. par is the number of strokes that an expert golfer needs to put the ball in a given hole, and is uasully around 72 for the 18 holes.A hole is classified by its par, the number of strokes a skilled golfer should require to complete play to the hole. Golf is played in an area of land designated the course. The course consits of number of holes. Hole or cup meaning both the pit in the ground to which the ball is played and the distance from the pre-determined point i.e tee where a ball is first struck into play to the green (the low cut grass surrounding the hole). Almost golf courses consist of eighteen holes.Many holes include hazards, which may be of three types: (1) water hazards such as lakes, rivers, et cetera; (2) man-made hazards such as bunkers; and (3) lateral hazards such as dense vegetation, bushes, and gardens.
A round typically consists of 18 holes that are played in the order determined by the course layout. On a nine-hole course, a standard round consists of two successive nine-hole rounds. A hole of golf consists of hitting a ball from a tee on the teeing box (a marked area designated for the first shot of a hole, a tee shot), and once the ball comes to rest, striking it again. This process is repeated until the ball is in the cup.The two basic forms of playing golf are match play and stroke play.In match play, two players (or two teams) play every hole as a separate contest against each other. The party with the lower score wins that hole, or if the scores of both players or teams are equal the hole is "halved" (drawn). The game is won by the party that wins more holes than the other. In the case that one team or player has taken a lead that cannot be overcome in the number of holes remaining to be played, the match is deemed to be won by the party in the lead, and the remainder of the holes are not played.In stroke play, every player (or team) counts the number of shots taken for the whole round or tournament to produce the total score, and the player with the lowest score wins. A variant of stroke play is Stableford scoring, where a number of points (two for the target score) are given for each hole, and the fewer shots taken, the more points obtained, so the aim is to have as many points as possible. Game about using the spine as an axis to promote consistency and to keep you on the correct swing plane. You'll learn the correct hand action so that you can add distance to every shot. You'll learn the correct timing to get straight ball flight, and consistent direction.
