Golf - Olympic Dream India

Golf

Golf is a prestigious club-and-ball sport where players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course, aiming to do so in the fewest strokes possible. Unlike many other ball games, golf does not have a standardized playing area; instead, it features unique terrains that add to the challenge of the game. A typical golf course consists of 18 holes, although some recreational courses may have just nine. Each hole has a designated tee box, a putting green with a hole (or cup) measuring 4.1⁄4 inches (11 cm) in diameter, and varying terrain such as fairways, rough (long grass), bunkers (sand traps), and other hazards like water and rocks.

Golf can be played in two main formats:

Stroke Play: This format is the most common in which the total number of strokes taken by an individual or team is counted. The player with the lowest total strokes wins the game.
Match Play: In this format, players or teams compete to win the most individual holes in a complete round, focusing on head-to-head competition.

The modern game of golf traces its origins back to 15th century Scotland, where the foundations of the sport were laid. The iconic 18-hole round was standardized at the Old Course at St Andrews in 1764. The Open Championship, also known as the British Open, is recognized as the world’s oldest golf tournament, first held in 1860 in Ayrshire, Scotland. Along with The Masters, the U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship, it forms one of the four major championships in men’s professional golf.
