Playing Golf.....
Golf is commonly played on a golf course. Some courses will
have 9 holes or 18 holes. The point of golf is to hit a little white thing
called a ball into a little hole commonly called the cup. Although the concept
is easy the game is not. With several hazards (including bunkers, water, trees,
and a hole bunch of other stuff I've been stuck in or behind the games is
relatively extremely difficult. A each hole there is a par or an average number
of shots it should take to get into the hole, ( pars will range from 3, 4, and
5.) Golf can be played in several ways including match play, stroke play, or
best ball. Here's some examples.
______________________________________
Match Play
In match play, one golfer or team plays against one or more others. The
player or team hitting the ball into the hole in the fewest number of strokes
wins that hole. The player or team winning the most holes wins the match. The
score is determined by the number of holes won. For example, a player who is
"2 up" has won two holes more than the opponent. A match is decided
when a golfer leads by more holes than there are holes left to play. If both
golfers or teams make the same score on a hole, that hole is said to be halved.
If the two golfers or teams are tied at the scheduled end of the match, it is
halved and play may continue. Then the player or team who first wins a hole wins
the match.

Stroke Play
In stroke play, the winner is the golfer who takes the fewest number of
total strokes to complete a competition. Most professional tournaments use
stroke play for a total of 72 holes (four rounds). Ties are broken by a playoff.
In most tournament playoffs, the tied golfers continue to play until one golfer
scores lower on a single hole. In some cases, ties are settled using an 18-hole
playoff.
