Golf is an outdoor game in which a small
rubber-cored ball is hit with a wooden-or
iron-faced club into a series of holes
using the least number of shots. On the
first shot for each hole, the ball is hit
from a tee, which elevates the ball slightly
off the ground, subsequent strokes are played
off the ground. Most courses have 18 holes
and are approximately 5,500m (6,000yards) in
length. Natural hazards such as trees,
bushes, and streams make play more difficult,
and there are additional artificial hazards
in the form of sand-filled bunkers.
