Golf Basics For Newbies

Here are some paragraph from this book.

The game of golf involves the striking of a ball from an initial location (the teeing ground) with the objective being to play the ball into a hole located in a final allocated area (known as the putting green).

A game of golf can last for any amount of time and is dependent on the number of people playing, their experience and ability with the game, and the availability of the course. A lone golfer playing on a course that is not busy may be able to complete a game in less than three hours, while a group of four playing on a crowded course may take over five hours to complete a game.

Golf involves two types of play, typically known as ‘match play’ and ‘stroke play.’

Match play is characterized by an outcome decided through the number of holes won and lost, whereas stroke play is characterized by an outcome decided by the total number of strokes a player makes during a game.

Stroke play (also known as the par system) is the most common form of play.
