The golf course may also have different standard forms of land in between like fairway, rough (long grass), sand traps, and various hazards (water, rocks).

History of National Golfers Day
It is said that on April 10, 1916, the first professional golf tournament was held, and that is probably why we celebrate National Golfers Day on April 10. There is also another theory stating that the tubular steel golf club shaft was approved for championship play on this day in 1924. The creator of the day remains unknown. The modern golf game originated in Scotland during the 15th century, when it was first recorded to be played, during James II banned the game in 1457 as it was found to be a distraction from learning archery. The Open Championship, also known as the British Open is the first and oldest golf tournament played in 1860 in Scotland, and is still in existence. The Masters, the U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship are the other three major championships in men’s professional golf played in the United States. The ancient golf’s origin is still under debate. However, few historians state that a game called paganica was played by Romans during the first century BC using a bent stick and a stuffed leather ball. Others believe that the Chinese also played a similar game by striking a small ball called chuiwan, between the eighth and 14th centuries.
