Golf is a sport played on a course where the objective is to achieve the lowest score by navigating shots around the course and into the hole. Most courses consist of 9 or 18 holes and vary in difficulty. The target score for each hole, known as par, is determined primarily by the distance of the hole. The rules and etiquette are also very important since you will be sharing the course and practice areas with other golfers. Understanding all aspects of the game will give you the confidence to play with confidence.
