GOLF COURSE
[CODE NO. 3081]

A golf course is the grounds where the game of golf is played. It comprises a series of holes, each consisting of a teeing ground, a fairway, the rough and other hazards, and a green with a flagstick ("pin") and hole ("cup"). A standard round of golf consists of 18 holes.[1] Most courses contain 18 holes; some share fairways or greens, and a subset has nine holes, played twice per round. Par-3 courses consist of nine or 18 holes all of which have a par of three strokes.

Many older courses are links, often coastal. Courses are private, public, and municipally owned, and typically feature a pro shop. Many private courses are found at country clubs.

Golf:  Golf is a game originated in Scotland in 15th century.  It is played by striking a small ball with various clubs from a teeing ground into a series of holes on a course. The player who holes his ball in the fewest strokes is the winner.

     Golf game was adopted in India in the 19th centuray.  The oldest golf club in India is the Royal Calcutta (1829).  The second Indian golf club was set as Royal Bombay (1842). The first "Amateur Championship Tournament" was held in India and the East was held at Royal Calcutta in 1892. Among the winners were the several Indians.

     Golf is unique among sports in that the arena designated for actual combat covers such large area. There are no stadiums or pitches in golf and therefore very few restrictions on where the ball can be hit. Golf Course: A stipulated golf course usually comprises 18 holes which usually  measures between 6000 yards and 7000  yards.  The hole itself measures 42 inch in diameter, at least 4 inch deep and is set in an area of turf specially prepared and maintained and closely moved for putting. When the player putts, he uses a straight faced club and rolls the ball across the putting green toward and into the  hole.  These are shorter courses, but generally they fall between these two distances.  Some courses have only nine holes in which case the same holes have  to  be played twice.           
    
Development of Golf Courses:

     The  modern  golf courses are seen today, either  at  first-hand, on the television, are a far cry from those in the  distant days in Scotland when play took place on a strip of land  between the main land and the sea. This link between the sea and the land was usually common ground and so the folders of the day took  do it,  hence  the  derivation of the  term  golf-links.  With the development of the game, courses have been constructed all over the world on a variety of landscapes and the area of golf course.

Now-a-day it has become the task of an architect to view a  piece of land covering some 100 acres and form it create 18 holes each varying in length, that will provide the players of any standard with a suitable challenge. Suitable grasses are grown on the area and good drainage at various points are provided.


     At  present  days, most golf courses have  four  long  holes measuring  between  476  yards and 550 yards,  four  short  holes measuring  between 120 yards and 250 yards and 10  medium  length holes measuring 251 and 475 yards.

License & Permission:

     For setting up a golf course a license is to be procured from the concerned  Municipal  Corporation.  The golf   course organization is to be registered with the Sports  Authority  of India.
