GOLF
Golf is a club and ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible.
The game is played on a course with an arranged progression of either nine or 18 holes. Each hole on the course must contain a base to start from, and a putting green containing the actual hole, that is the main objective. There are other standard forms of terrain in between, such as the fairway, rough, and hazards, but each hole on a course is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.
Golf is played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, or the lowest score on the most individual holes in a complete round by an individual or team, known as match play.
Altough golf is an scottish sport, it is played worldwide and is a major fever.
Some of the best golf players all around the world are:
Jason Day
Dustin Johnson
Jordan Spieth
Henrik Stenson
Rory McIlroy
Bubba Watson
Adam Scott
Curiosities: Early golf balls used to be filled with feathers. These would be stuffed into a leather case with an iron rod. In the 1840s, golf balls began to be made out of gutta percha (a form of natural rubber). These were cheaper and more hard-wearing than the feathered version but meant golf clubs became heavier and did more damage to the grounds.
