'''Golf''' is a [[sport]] that is played by hitting a small ball over long distances with the use of a long metal or wooden club, with the intent of hitting the ball into a very small hole hundreds of feet away. There are 18 ranges on a standard golf course, commonly referred to as "holes." Some courses provide abbreviated nine hole courses as well.

Golf has become a popular sport, with several professional tours being run by groups such as the [[PGA|Professional Golf Association]] (PGA) or Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) where top prizes can reach $800,000. Only a few people ever play at a professional, level but many more enjoy Golf as a past time or social event.

The four most prestigious tournaments in the golfing calendar (or 'majors') are the United States Open, the US PGA tournament, the Masters, and the British Open (simply called 'the Open' in [[Britain]]). The Masters is always held at [[Augusta]] in [[Georgia]], while the other three are held at a different course each year.
