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. Golf, unlike most ball games, cannot and does not utilise a standardised playing area, and coping with the varied terrains encountered on different courses is a key part of the game.
