Golf is an open-field sports game, where the player plays his golf ball in a hole from multiple clubs (golf instruments). A golfer plays in a certain order a number of holes in golf. The golf course configuration typically involves 18 holes in a sequence regulated by the golf course.

Two 9-hole games make up a regular game on a 9-hole course. From the teeing area, each hole begins. Golfers put the ball on a little booth called a tea and swing a club to try and drive it straight and as hard as they can.If this has been completed by every golfer, the ball is reaching him again, followed by everyone, one person at a time, before every golfer has been on the green.

Every time a player swings a shot, the moveis called“stroke”. Each one of the holes consists of a number of strokes that golfers can take into the hole, and it is called “par”.If a player enters a ball in the hole, he gets a “birdie”.
