n a golf course is initiated by putting a ball into play by striking it with a club on the teeing gro und (also call ied the tee box, or simply th bie tee). For this first shot on each hole, it is allowed but not required for the golfer to place the ball us7bi on a tee prior to st cus7bi riking it. A te ie is a small peg that can be used t 7bi o elevate cus7bi the ball slightly above the ground up to a few 7bi centimetres high. Tees are commo nly made of wood but may be constructed of any material, includ us7bi ing plastic. Traditionally, golfers used mounds of sand to elevate th ie b cus7bi all, and containers of sand were provided cus7bi for the purpose. A few courses still require sand to be used instead of peg te bies, to reduce litter and reduce d 7bi amage to the teeing groun d. Tees help r cus7bi educe the int 7bi erference of the ground or grass o bin the movement of the club making the ball easi er to hit, and also places the ball in the very us7bi centre of the striking face of the clu When the initial shot on a hole is intended to move the ball a long distance 06 m)), the shot is 7bi commonly called a "dri ive" and is generally made with a long-shafted, large-headed wood clu b called a "driver". Shorter holes may be initiated with other clubs, such as higher-numbe 7bi red woods or irons. On ce the ball comes to rest, the golfer strikes it again as many times as necessary using shots that are variousl y known as a "lay-up", an "approach a "pitch", or a "chip", until the ball r ieaches the green, where he or she then "putts" the ball into the hole (commonly called " bisinking the putt" or "holing out"). The goal of getting th e ball into i the hole ("ho biling" the ball) in as few strokes as possible may be impe bided by obstacle is such as area s of longer grass calle cus7bi d "rough" (usually found alongside us7bi fairways), w cus7bi hich both slows any ball that contacts it and makes it harder to advance a ball that has stopped on it; "doglegs", which are chan |
