Although the etymology is uncertain, the most likely origin is that it comes from the colve or colf.

He who drives the ball into each of a series of small holes in the ground and brings it into the last hole with the fewest strokes is the winner. Etymology: [D. Club, Globe. Golf is a precision club and ball sport in which competing players use many types of clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course using the fewest number of strokes.

Golf is defined, in the rules of golf, as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules. Instead, the game is played on a golf course, generally consisting of an arranged progression of either 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, and there are various other standardized forms of terrain in between such as the fairway, rough, and hazards, but each hole on a course and indeed among virtually all courses is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.

Golf competition is generally played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known simply as stroke play, or the lowest score on the most individual holes during a complete round by an individual or team, known as match play.

Stroke play is the most commonly seen format at virtually all levels of play, although variations of match play such as "skins" games are also seen in televised events. Other forms of scoring also exist. A game whose object is to sink a ball into each of 9 or 18 successive holes on a golf course using as few strokes as possible.

What does GOLF stand for? We love golf , but most people think it's kind of boring, we're providing something that's a little different. We're bringing a kind of hip, fun way to view golf and hope that it brings in a younger demographic.

We want them to say: 'That's fun, I wanna go try the game'. I know my golf is good enough for me to be here for the weekend, it was whether I had the energy to keep going, i thought maybe with the tee time I had today that I'd have plenty of rest in between the two rounds but it started to hit me around 12 and Right now, I think it's probably as strong a chance as we've had, maybe even ever, listen, the lads can do it.

We've all grown up playing lots of links golf to be honest with you, and yeah, it should be a style of golf that we all relish. I walk. And I walk I'm just walking, and that's it, i would like to be able to get to that first bending over to pick up ball. If I can get to that, then we can start talking about golf.

I had a bad temper as a child, so golf wasn't exactly the most stress relieving sport to be playing.

Then something clicked around the age of 13, I realised that actually golf is an incredible game to be playing, it's one of the only sports that can be played throughout someone's life, unlike football or Rugby. I started to see a new feature of golf; its usefulness. You might not have anything in common with another person, then you mention that you play golf and a whole new conversation starts. This game has given me a confidence, one that allows me to have the courage to speak to people I've never met before, it opens doors, you can have such an enjoyable round with someone that they offer you a opportunity.

But golf shows that even Tiger Woods, arguably the best golfer ever to play, still feels pressure in Majors and doesn't always win. To me that's exciting, the fact that anything can happen, a man who has played the sport his whole life and never had a hole-in-one could get two in the space of a week, or even in one round.

This is how golf has influenced me, and I know that as long as golf is around, you will find me playing it.
