THE
GAME OF GOLF was first played in Scotland some 400 years
ago.Players are required to hit a ball ,using a wooden or
iron club,from a smooth level point or "teeing ground"down the
"fairway",and on to a putting green where the large hole is
located.The fairway is a strip of clear land along which
there are natural hazards-such as bunkers(sand pits),and rough
(area of uncut grass)championship golf courses have 18
holes.The object of the game is to hit the ball into each
hole in turn ,and to complete the "round" using as few
strokes as possible .Players compete individually or in teams
,playing the course together in group of two ,three, or
four.The two basic forms of competition are match play and
stroke play.
In match play ,the side winning the majority of holes over a certain number of rounds win the match .In stroke play ,the winner is the player who finishes a certain number of rounds having made the fewest strokes.
