The Basics on How to Play

Take a stance shoulder width apart and swing the club (drive) at you're target. The ball should go down the fairway. Go up to your ball and swing again. After a few good swings your ball should be on the green (sometimes if you're lucky the ball lands on the green on your drive). Take a few putts to hit your ball into the hole. For a putt we use a putter. For a drive we use a driver or wood. For shots in the fairway we use woods and irons. You can play the course holes 1 through 9, 10 through 18 or 1 through 18. It usually takes 4 ½ hours to play all 18 holes.
