To put it totally flat, game of Golf is nothing but an objective to put a small golf ball in a hole or cup, inside a vast ground, often earmarked as golf course. But that is definitely not all, as we go and checkout the topicalities and technicalities below as we progress.

Basic setup and hitting

The game is set up inside the golf course, and from the specified teeing box, the ball is stroked with the swing of the golf stick in attempt to clear the ground and enter into the cup.

And just when the ball enters into the green area, which encompasses the local ambience of the cup, the ball is hit with shots like putting, pitching, chipping etc.

Hitting the ball in the air

For hitting the ball with the swing of the stick is not just everything that it requires. Proper measure of distance, direction and the angular trajectory is either going to land the ball into or at least near to the cup; otherwise it is going to land the ball on the opposite side of the ground.
