Golf ist eine traditionelle Ballsportart. Es gilt, einen Ball mit möglichst wenigen Schlägen, in Übereinstimmung mit den offiziellen Golfregeln, vom Abschlag in das Loch zu spielen, wobei verschiedene Golfschläger zum Einsatz kommen. Eine Golfrunde besteht in der Regel aus 9 oder 18 Spielbahnen, die nacheinander auf einem Golfplatz absolviert werden. Der internationale Dachverband ist die International Golf Federation (IGF) mit Sitz in Lausanne, in der 143 Mitgliedsverbände aus 138 Ländern organisiert sind. Insgesamt gibt es weltweit mehr als 60 Millionen organisierte Golfspieler.
