Golf Introduction

Golf is a precision sport in which players use clubs to hit a ball into a series of holes across a course in as few strokes as possible. The sport originated in 15th-century Scotland and is now played worldwide. The four major championships - The Masters, The Open Championship, the US Open, and the PGA Championship - are the sport's most prestigious events. Legends include Jack Nicklaus, who won 18 majors, and Tiger Woods, whose dominance in the late 1990s and 2000s transformed the sport's popularity. Golf's handicap system makes it one of the few sports where players of all abilities can compete against each other fairly.
