HOLE :
18 is the usual number of holes in a golf course, and a hole should not be much shorter than 100 yards or longer than 500yard, while the entire course, if make up of 18 holes and measured from hole to hole, should be from 2.75 to 3.75 or 4 miles in length.
TEEING GROUND
For each hole there is a starting point, called the teeing ground. The game
commences at the first teeing-ground, and the hole to which is round, 4.25
inches in diameter, and should be at least 4 inches in depth.
PUTTING GREEN:
Technically, is all ground within 20 yards of the hole, and all this space, if possible, should be of the closest and smoothest turf and undulating surface, provided the turf be equal and true, will be found to make the putting more interesting and difficult.
HAZARDS
Between the teeing-ground and the putting-green should be found, whether
they be natural or artificially formed, various "hazards" in the
shape of sand-pits or "BUNKERS" ditches, gorse, roads or other
obstacles, and these should be placed so as to catch and punish badly-played
balls, while plenty of p open space and good turf should be found between
them to reward well-hit strokes.
FAIRWAY
Fairway indicates a whole course including teeing-ground and putting-green.
