Golf is a
sport in which individual players or teams of players strike a
ball into a hole using several types of
clubs. Golf is one of the few
ball games that does not use a fixed, standardised playing field or area; defined in the ''
Rules of Golf'' as ''"playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules."''
The first game of golf for which records survive was played at
Bruntsfield Links, in
Edinburgh,
Scotland, in A.D. 1456, recorded in the
archives of the Edinburgh Burgess Golfing Society, now
The Royal Burgess Golfing Society.
