Ladies Golf
A Brief Overview:
Golf, a game of Scottish
origin, is one of the most popular recreational and competitive sports
in the world. The basic golf rules are internationally uniform for both
men and women.
A player is permitted
to carry a selection of up to 14 clubs of varying shapes, sizes, and lengths.
A golf course generally has 18 holes spread over a landscaped area that
customarily includes a number of hazards--water, rough, sand traps (also
known as bunkers), trees--that are designed to make the game more difficult.
Difficulty is also
increased by the varying distances among holes. Play on each hole is begun
at the tee area, from which players "tee off" or "drive" the ball into
the fairway. At the end of the hole--which can vary in length from about
150 to 600 yards--is the putting green, which surrounds the actual hole,
or "cup," into which the ball must be putted in order to complete the
hole.
Golf is usually played
by groups of two to four people who move throughout the course together,
each participant taking a turn to play his or her ball.
