Golf is one of the most exciting and complex sports. It requires precision, patience, strategic planning and a deep understanding of the terrain and the ball. Players must cope with changing weather conditions, varied terrain and long distances between holes.
The history of golf

Golf is considered an ancient sport that originated somewhere in 15th-century Scotland. Over the years, golf has become a popular sport around the world, with major tournaments such as the Masters, the British Open, and the PGA Championship.
Rules of the game
Golf is played on an open course consisting of 18 holes. Each hole begins at a starting point (tee) and ends at a hole (goal). Players use a variety of golf tools (clubs) to try to get the ball into the hole with as few strokes as possible.
Golf equipment
Golf clubs are divided into three main types: driver, wood, and iron. Each club is suitable for a different type of shot and distance. Players choose the club based on the situation on the course and the distance from the hole.
Golf courses
Golf courses vary in length and complexity. Some courses feature mountainous topography, lakes, forests, and sand. Players must be familiar with the course and adjust their shots accordingly.
The benefits of golf
Golf is not only a physical sport, but also a social and intellectual activity. It helps improve physical fitness, calms the mind, and allows you to meet friends and family in a pleasant atmosphere.
