Golfe é um esporte no qual os jogadores usam diversos tipos de tacos para arremessar uma bola para uma série de buracos numa vasta extensão de terreno, usando o menor número possível de tacadas. É um dos poucos desportos com bola que não exige uma área de jogo normalizada. Em vez disso, o desporto é praticado num campo de golfe, o qual geralmente consiste numa progressão de nove ou dezoito buracos. Cada buraco inclui uma área de terreno inicial (tee) e uma área final (green), na qual se encontra o buraco propriamente dito. Entre as duas áreas existem diversos tipos padronizados de terreno e obstáculos, e cada buraco possui uma configuração única. As competições de golfe são geralmente pontuadas em função do menor número de tacadas individuais, ou stroke play, ou a pontuação mais baixa em cada buraco individual durante uma ronda completa de um jogador ou de uma equipe, ou . O formato jogo por tacadas, no entanto, é o mais comum em todas as competições.
