The Basics Of Golf
You need to start at the teeing area. Place a tee straight into the ground and then place a golf ball on top of it. Once the ball is set on the tee, swing your club and hit the ball. The goal is to get the ball into the first hole on the course. It’s ideal to get the ball in the hole on the first try but that is near impossible, especially for a beginner. Score is kept in the game of golf by how many strokes it takes to hit the ball into every hole. The least number of strokes wins the game!
What if you hit your golf ball out of bounds or it gets lost? Here is the basic rule for that: A ball is considered to be lost if is not found within five minutes. If your golf ball is lost or out of bounds, you must add a penalty stroke to your score and replay your last shot.
