Golf

Golf is an outdoor sport where individual players or teams hit a small ball into a hole using various clubs. It is defined in the Rules of Golf as:

"playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules."

Golf is believed to have originated in Scotland and has been played for several centuries in the British Isles and continuously in the United States since 1887.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.
Mark Twain

Although often viewed as an elite pastime, golf is increasingly popular and continues to attract ever more players around the world.
