Golf: a game played on a large open-air course, in which a small hard ball is struck with a club into a series of small holes in the ground, the object being to use the fewest possible strokes to complete the course.
Golf is an individual sport that can also be played as a team. It is not only physical, but also tests your mental and emotional skills while being social in nature. It is an outdoor sport played on a variety of courses that test the golfer’s skills.
