Golf - A Game of Precision, Patience, and Skill

Introduction

Golf is a timeless sport that blends strategy, accuracy, and mental strength. Often played on beautifully landscaped courses, golf is both a competitive sport and a relaxing leisure activity. Unlike fast-paced games, golf requires calm focus, consistent technique, and thoughtful decision-making. Played around the world by people of all ages, it is as much a test of patience as it is of physical ability.

How the Game is Played

The main objective in golf is to hit the ball into each hole on a course in as few strokes as possible. A standard golf course has 18 holes, each with a unique layout, length, and challenges (like sand bunkers, water hazards, and hills). Players use different types of clubs (woods, irons, putters) to navigate the course, starting with long drives and ending with short, controlled putts.

Key Rules & Basics

    • Stroke Play: Most common scoring format; total number of strokes across 18 holes determines the winner.

    • Match Play: Players compete hole by hole; the one who wins the most holes wins the match.

    • Par: The expected number of strokes to complete a hole (e.g., par-3, par-4).

    • Birdie: One stroke under par.

    • Bogey: One stroke over par.

    • Eagle: Two strokes under par.

    • Handicap: A system that levels the playing field for players of different skill levels.

    Players must play the ball where it lies and avoid penalties for things like hitting out of bounds, grounding the club in hazards, or slow play.

About The App

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
