Golf is a sport that can be played irrespective of age, gender, physical condition or limitations. Golf is a fully inclusive mainstream sport, typically played in the open air but which can also be practised in non-traditional golfing locations. The primary task of golf is to strike a ball from one place and to finish near a target set at various distances in the least number of strokes. A simple way to think about this is that the player takes a club to hit a ball to a target. Golf is an activity that can shared with others or played alone.
