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. To start with, grip of the golf stick, stance, alignment and measurement of the wind direction is very primary. According to the current parameters, the ball is hit in many different fashions like backswing, downswing, takeaway, impact swing or follows through. 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. Sometimes it ends up landing in sand, water or loopholes too.

Golf kits and equipments

Golf kitbag is required to be carried in golf carts, as it may sound very funny. But one needs to carry all the requisite golf sticks for striking through all possible kind of conditions and the player needs to reach out to the ball exactly where it is and has to hit it through that point. Obviously, the kit comprises of drivers, fair way woods, hybrids, irons, wedges and putters as basic requirements

Scraps from the rulebook

We have quoted it time and again, yet it is worth mentioning the fact that, playing the game is nothing but test of mental strength, attitude, strategy under different and testing conditions; all in coherence to the rules and regulations stipulated over everything. For example, there is maximum limit on the number of shots, match play, line of play restraint, order of play, strokes information, legitimacy of strokes, water hazards and obstructions etc.

Knowing everything from the rulebook and FAQ is not just enough. One need to master at the swing concepts, know the behavior of the sand, water, grass and air all alike. This is what differentiates an amateur and a professional player.

To put it in concluding note, all in all, the game requires ample time, resource, bucks and last but not the least – great deal of patience, restraint and extreme precision. That is why the game has come this far and has gone on to be one of the most liked and rewarded games in the world.
