A game of putting a small ball in a hole in the ground using clubs was played in 17th century Netherlands. The word golf derives from the Dutch kolf meaning stick, club or bat. The course that emerged featured eleven holes lay out end to end from the clubhouse to the far end of the property. Every player then plays his second shot from within a club length of where the best ball has come to rest, and the procedure is repeated until the hole is finished.

course

On some courses, walking is prohibited, and the cart fee is often included with the greens fee. The greens fee may vary from the equivalent of a few dollars for communal (also known as municipal) courses in many countries, up to that of several hundred dollars for public courses. Discounts on fees may be offered for players starting their round late (and on many courses, unusually early) in the day.

The Stroke play formula is an individual way of playing the game as you are competing against the par of the course. In the contrary, the match play rule will allow the player to approach the course in a more aggressive manner in order to win the hole against his opponent. It is not uncommon for beginners to spend several months practicing the very basics before playing their first ball on a course. Golfers play against the course, not each other directly, and hit a stationary object, not one put into motion by an opponent.

Club

Hosting the oldest tournament on the PGA TOUR is pressure enough, but with all eyes on the FedEx Cup Playoffs, Cog hill Golf & country Club becomes the center of the golf world. Golf is a sport in which individual players or teams of players strike a ball into a hole using several types of clubs. golf is one of the few ball games that does not use a fixed, standardized playing field or area; defined in the Rules of golf as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules. this word may, in turn, be derived from the Dutch word kolf, meaning "bat," or "club," and the Dutch sport of the same name.

The rules of golf are internationally standardized and are jointly governed by the royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A), which was founded 1754 and the United States golf Association (USGA). To hit the ball, the club is swung at the motionless ball on the ground (or wherever it has come to rest) from a side stance.

There are several possible causes of poor shots, such as poor alignment of the club, wrong direction of swing, and off-center hits where the clubhead rotates around the ball at impact. Many of these troubles are aggravated with the "longer" clubs and higher speed of swing.
