Golf is a great game for people of all ages. There's nothing better than taking your friends out into the fresh air on a golf course and kicking a ball. Loads, fresh air, friends and laughter - all this is golf!

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Learn the Basics

1. 1 Understand the meaning of the game. The point of golf is to hit the ball with the help of a long device called a golf club and, in turn, hammer it into the hole. There are usually 9 to 18 holes and the results are calculated when the last player has hammered into the last hole.
2. 2 Remember how counting is done in golf. In golf, the lower the score, the better. Golfers receive one point for each hit of the ball with the club, which means that the winner is the player who can hit the balls in all holes with the least amount of swing (golf shot). Many terms are used in golf counting:
   • Par: This is the number of strokes (as well as the number of points) that the golfer should ideally use to get the ball into the hole.The player who has enough of these shots to get into the hole is "hit by par".
   • Boggy: Bogey is one point (one swing), more pair. If a player needs one extra swing to get into the hole, then they say “double bogey,” “triple bogey,” and so on, depending on the total number of swings.
   • Bedi: bedi, that's one hit less than steam.
   • Eagle: the number of strokes is two less than par. Four more than pairs are also called needles.
   • Shot from a tee box into a hole: a shot from a tee box into a hole is when a player with one swing from a tee box hammers the ball into the hole (this is the starting position).
3. 3 Learn to distinguish between the main positions on the golf course. Each golf course has five main positions, including a tee box. Other positions in the game are indicated below:
   • Farway: The fairway is the flat area of ​​the golf course between the starting position and the course.
   • Rough: The Rough is an area of ​​tall grass that borders the fairway.
   • Lawn around the hole: The lawn around the hole is where the hole is located on the fairway. The green area is where the hole for each fairway is located.
   • Obstacles: Obstacles, or traps, are specially placed places that are difficult to knock a golf ball out of. Common obstacles include sand traps and ponds.
4. 4 Distinguish between golf clubs. Different golf clubs have different physical characteristics and are used for different types of golf swing. The ability to choose a golf club according to the situation is a skill that professional golfers acquire over time. But the main purpose of the clubs is quite simple:
   • Wood, a wide-headed club, is usually made from fairly light materials such as wood or light metals. Wood is used for long range strikes. Such strikes are sometimes referred to as "drivers".
   • ’IronCompared to wood, this stick is flatter and is usually made of heavier metal. Iron is usually used for short to medium strikes.
   • Patter A special green stick where precision and control of the direction and speed of the ball affects whether you get birdies or bogey. Putter sticks are small and usually made of light metal.

Method 2 of 3: Putting Your Kick Correctly

1. 1 Learn to take the correct posture. To have fun with golf, hitting well is important, and good hitting starts with a good stance. The standard kick stance is a balanced, flexible starting position for your kick. Stand sideways to the ball (straight in the direction you want to launch the ball) with feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees slightly and take your hips back, while keeping your back straight, bend over the ball slightly. There are other methods and techniques, but the basic stance, with minor adjustments, is used even by professional golfers. Hold the club by the bar with both hands.
2. 2 Swing. For a good, hard hit, lift the stick up and back. Try swinging the head of the club first, and let your arms, legs, and shoulders follow. Finally, twist your hips a little to complete the swing. This will maximize the release of force for the strike and at the same time not lose balance.
3. 3 Raise the club high. Continue with the steps described in the swing. With the weight shifting towards the impact, the hand will bend slightly (if it is right-handed, then it is usually the right hand) and as if wrapped around the stick handle, pointing towards the fairway, while being overhead.
4. 4 Invest in a blow. As you hit the ball, lean forward slightly and transfer your weight to your supporting leg. At the end of the strike, bend the left leg, the weight from which went to the right, bend a little, stand on the toes and roll. With training will come the ability to launch the ball along a precise, controlled trajectory.

Method 3 of 3: Play

1. 1 Start with tee box. A group of players meet at the first hole and take turns hitting the ball from the tee box and (hopefully) hitting the green or fairway.The tee box ball is placed on a small wooden or plastic stand or placed on the grass. It depends on the preferences of the players.
2. 2 Continue in order. In the order in which they hit from the starting position, the players take turns hitting the ball until everyone hits the hole. Due to the fact that it is theoretically possible to get the ball, other players should keep their distance from the batter and should never stand down on the fairway when hitting.
   • Even if the ball lands in a sand trap or on an uneven place, the player must hit from there without moving the ball out of the trap or changing position. The ball hitting the reservoir can be replaced and set aside at a distance of two clubs from the reservoir, but this will result in additional points for the player on this hole.
   • When there are two or more balls on the green, it is allowed to remove those that may interfere with the striker's ball. In this case, the position of the ball is noted and after the impact, the ball returns to the same place.
3. 3 Go to the next hole. Once everyone in the group has received their points for completing a hole, the group can move on to the next hole. The golf courses are designed in such a way that each hole can be accessed in turn without having to go back or pass in front of other players. But you still need to be careful not to interfere with players who are advancing slower than the entire group. A typical golf game can last anywhere from three to six hours.

Warnings

• Try not to get the ball in your head. If there are a lot of people on the field or there is no order, wear a safety helmet.
• Golf, sports are not cheap. Before buying golf clubs or memberships, first ask a golfing friend to show you the equipment.
