Golf is a game of inches, you might have heard this term before, but not the theory of golf is as important as the mechanics of the game. I'll start with a little history followed by golf terms and meanings.

However, there is an even earlier reference in the game of golf and is believed to have happened in 1452 when King James II banned the game because it keeps his subjects from their archery practice. The origin of golf is open to debate as to being Chinese, Dutch or Scottish. However, the theory courses of the more accepted story is that this sport originated in Scotland in 1100.
The golf the word is derived from the Dutch kolf meaning stick, club or bat. The playing field's oldest golf course in the world is The Old Links at Musselburgh Racecourse. Already in the 15th century, golfers at St Andrews in Fife, established a customary route through the undulating terrain, playing to holes whose locations were dictated by topography.
In 2005 Golf Digest estimated that there were nearly 32,000 golf courses in the world, about half of them in the United States. A typical golf course consists of eighteen holes, but many have only nine. Every game of golf is based on playing a series of holes in a particular order.
A golf hole is to hit a ball from a tee in the outlet box, a marked area designated for the first capture of a hole called a tee shot, and once the ball comes to rest, beating again. A hole is classified by its par, the number of strokes a skilled golfer should require to complete play the hole.
For example, a golfer Expert hopes to reach the green on a par four hole in two shots, one off the tee called the unit and another blow to the green called the focus.
