Golf


:''This article is about the game of golf. For other meanings, see Golf (disambiguation).'' Golf is an outdoor game where individual players or teams play a small ball into a hole using various clubs. It is defined in the ''Rules of Golf'' as ''"playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules."'' Golf is believed to have originated in Scotland and has been played for several centuries in the British Isles and continuously in the United States since 1887 (Foxburg, Pennsylvania). Although often viewed as an elite pastime, golf is increasingly popular and continues to attract ever more players around the world. A ''round'' of golf consists of playing a number of ''holes'', usually eighteen. A hole of golf consists of hitting a ball from a tee on the ''teeing ground'' (a marked area designated for the first shot of a hole), and continuing to strike the ball till it comes to rest in the cup. Once the ball is on the ''green'' (an area of finely cut grass or oiled sand) the ball is usually ''putted'' (hit along the ground) into the hole. The aim of holing the ball in as few strokes as possible may be impeded by various obstructions, such as bunkers and water hazards. Competitive golf can be played by individual players (''single'') or by teams. Golf can be scored by stroke play or match play. In stroke play, the number of shots taken for the whole round or tournament is counted to produce the total score, and the player with the lowest score wins. A variant of stroke play is ''Stableford'' scoring, where a number of points (two for the target score) are given for each hole, and the fewer shots taken, the more points obtained, so the aim is to have as many points as possible. Another variant of stroke play, the ''Modified Stableford'' method, awards points on each hole in relation to par and then adds the points over a round; for more details on this method, see The INTERNATIONAL, a tournament

Social aspects of golf

. That may deserve its own page, so as not to taint this one. It's an utter shame that such a cool sport is popular among (and, in some eyes, has become a symbol of) the Corporate Enemy. Mike Church 06:36, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC) ---- moved from talk:particle physics. Let's discuss how to handle this: Golf is a uniquely destructive game and has uniquely determined opponents - there is an Anarchist Golfing Association that tears up genetically-damaged grass, complaints by various NGOs that pressure to sell land to golf developers has led to farmers in the Phillipines being killed for it, that golf creates a monoculture ecology and requires massive maintenance and pesticides that destroy everything around it, and that all attempts to make it more ecologically friendly (i.e. more "rough" areas left alone, raised-bump balls that fly half as far on very small specially designed courses) have totally failed to catch on widely. To be fair, if there are other games that have that kind of objection list, or opposition, let's hear it. If any other "game" becomes so emblematic and demonstrative of Dominator culture that it has to be destroyed, then the page on that game must reflect that controversy. Golfers don't define what golf means, and physicists don't define what particle physics means, and there must at least in both cases be links to separate articles describing the entire controversy. I'm just opening up the issue to a general discussion - when you have a field or game that seems non-controversial to its supporters but brutal and evil and wasteful to it's opponents, how should we handle it? An article on the game and a separate one on the politics? All in one place so the two groups *must* encounter each other? What? ''An article on the game and a separate one on the politics, or a separate

Hello, and welcome. Would you please stop to create article which only contain ? Such article are a very bad idea - they hide the fact that the article isn't written yet - if you think these articles deserve a stub, then you should write at least a stub - see Wikipedia:stub for what a stub is supposed to be. andy 07:43, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC) :I was wondering what happend to my stubs.... :I see what you mean, yet this is what a stub is supposed to be right? ::I deleted them right away, as I am an admin who has the power to delete :-) As mentioned in Wikipedia:Perfect stub article - to have a stub worth keeping it need to state at least the basic fact about a topic - e.g. for a person the name, lifedates, nationality, and most of all why that person is important enough to have a biography in an encyclopedia. Or for a city at least the location. However I personally still don't like stubs which just state the basic facts, much better is a longer article. So maybe instead of adding even more stubs (we already have tons of them), why not investigate in one topic in more depth and make it a real good article instead. andy 07:56, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC) :::Yea that sounds good, yet I came across some facts about the Torino games of 2006 and am not a geographical researcher :-) Would like to be, but I don't have the time for it... But if you think that it is better to have just the standerd edit page after opening a link. Well thats fine by me. Not my type of thing, but oke... P.S. I did create the stubs because people will create pages about those places because of the games, so I did do a little ground work... ::::The red link is nothing bad, quite the contrary, it may invite a new user to write about the topic from scratch. It is rather controversy whether it'd attract more contributions to have a red link or to have a short stub waiting to be extended. But you don't need to know much about a city to write about it - see e.g. Hilter which I wrote only using the official

    Disc Golf


    Disc Golf (also known in some parts as "frolf," for "frisbee golf") is a game based on the rules of golf (referred to by disc golfers as "ball golf"). It uses flying discs which are similar to the Frisbee, but usually smaller and heavier. The discs are thrown towards a target, which serves as the "hole". The targets can range from just being objects such as trees and poles to being metal baskets with hanging chains to catch the discs.

    Playing

    Disc golf is played in a similar manner as ball golf. The initial "drive" is taken from a designated tee area. Each subsequent throw is taken from just behind the spot where the disc came to rest. Each throw is added to your tally. As with ball golf each hole is given a par rating. A common strategy for a par-three hole, as in golf, would be drive (long throw toward the basket), approach (mid-range throw to the "green"), putt (short throw into the basket). Your hole is scored when the disc has come to rest in the basket of the target or when it hits the designated part of an object if there are no baskets and it is an object course. A typical course would be 18 holes. Many smaller courses have only 9 holes, while an increasing number of courses offer an additional 9 holes to make 27 available holes to the disc golfer. Many disc golf courses are in open, grassy public parks, but more challenging courses are set in semi-wooded and hilly areas, some quite rough and natural. One good example of a classic long course with wooded hills is De Laveaga Disc Golf Course in Santa Cruz, California, USA. The target in Disc Golf is usually a metal basket that is suspended parallel to the ground about two feet from the ground, and attached to a vertical pole that is a few feet tall. To better allow discs to come to rest in this basket, chains are suspended from another circular section near the top of the pole and allowed to hang limply to a point where they are connected to the pole in or near the receiving
