Golf is a ball game in which the player must throw a small ball (a golf ball) along a course that’s essentially natural grass using rackets and finally hit the ball into a hole in the ground at the end of the course – all with a minimum number of hits on the ball.

The game of golf requires concentration, controlled activation of the body, and coordination more than physical strength and speed, so it’s prevalent at all ages including retirees and the elderly. The whole game lasts 3-4 hours at a moderate pace. Another attraction of the game is its existence in the open air in an environment that invites one to walk (9 or 18 holes).

Golf was first mentioned in the 17th century as a feat of strength where players used golf clubs to hit balls into holes by driving them so far. It’s believed that golf originated sometime during the 12th century on the same ground as the modern game, which was played on some Scottish land with “golf” being referred to as turf. The modern game was founded in Scotland, and it’s believed that the first golf club (Golf Club) was founded in 1744.

This sport can be played on an indoor or outdoor court, but the best golf courses are designed to be played outdoors in the open air. The game requires good physical shape and constant practice to improve one’s score. Golf is not a sport that depends much on speed but precision and accuracy, requiring great control over the power and direction of strikes. Many rules must be followed during the game.

Golf is usually played on a field, but golf courses resemble natural landscapes of various types (beaches, hilly areas, etc.). More recently, there are courses for playing at sea level. If you want to play golf in the open air with few people around, it’s recommended to play early in the morning or at night.

The first golf courses were made of turf, and later wood (for example, Chestnut) was used as a material for course design until it became more widespread in the 19th century. Due to environmental concerns, a new kind of artificial grass is now replacing some natural grass playing areas on golf courses, but they are still being made.

The rule of the game is to place the smallest number of hits possible per ball (hole) before getting to the end hole, which has a special flag and where the balls are placed after placing them on a short stick. To put it in simple terms, golf is just like putting your ball into a hole.
