Golf is a precision club and ball sport in which golfers use many types of clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course using the smallest number of hits. In the rules of golf, Golf is defined as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground (an area, often slightly elevated, from which the first stroke of a hole is made) into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules."

It is one of the few ball games that does not require a standardised playing area. Instead, the game is played on a golf course, normally consisting of an arranged progression of 9 or 18 "holes". Each hole on the course must contain a "tee box" to start from and a "putting green" with the actual hole, but each hole on a course and certainly among virtually all courses is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.
