Golf
Golf is a club-and-ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible.
Golf, unlike most ball games, cannot and does not utilize a standardized playing area, and coping with the varied terrains encountered on different courses is a key part of the game. The game at the usual level is played on a course with an arranged progression of 18 holes, though recreational courses can be smaller, usually having 9 or 12 holes.
Courses typically consist of a mix of par-3, -4, and -5 holes, although some courses have par-6 holes. The changes in elevation, terrain, shot selection and club selection required by different shots on different holes are one of the challenges of golf.
The game is played in what is called a “round”, where each hole of the course is played once by each player in the group (usually three or four people). When all 18 holes have been completed by each player or team, the total number of strokes taken for each hole is added up to give each player’s or team’s “score” for that particular round. These scores are used to determine which player or team has won that particular round.
Tennis
Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent’s court. The object of the game is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. The player who is unable to return the ball will not gain a point, while the opposite player will.
