Playing golf: features and important notes
Everything is important in golf – the positioning of your legs, the grip of the club, the correct swing, the body balance during movements, the equipment and its quality, the grass height, the surface of the field. ... In order to learn to play golf you will need many lessons with an instructor and a lot of practice, but time spent playing will have a beneficial effect on the health of every player. Golf is about fresh clean air, movement, calmness, communication with like-minded people. All these factors together have a positive effect on a person.
On average, a game lasts 4-5 hours, during which the players must go through the entire field, sending the ball from hole to hole. A standard golf course has 9 or 18 holes. In order to complete the entire field from the first hole to the eighteenth hole, the players are given 72 strokes. The less hits you make, the better. Moving from hole to hole, players either walk on foot or use a special golf car. As for carrying golf equipment, the most convenient way would be a special golf bag. Golf courses vary in size, reaching up to several hectares. The grass on the golf course can be of different height in different areas, and there can also be various obstacles in the form of trees, bushes, streams, sand or stone bunkers etc. Each hole has its own specific number, the numbers are divided into sectors, each sector of the golf course has its own movement pattern.
