What is a "hole"?
A hole in golf refers to one of the individual sections of the course that players aim to complete. Each hole has a starting point, called the tee, where players hit the ball, and a target, the hole itself, located on the green. The goal is to get the ball from the tee to the hole in as few strokes as possible. A typical 18-hole golf course consists of 18 different holes, each with its own challenges, such as varying distances, obstacles, and hazards. Players aim to complete each hole efficiently, contributing to their overall score.
