    Fastest hole in golf world record is broken

    Golf is an almost unique sport, combining periods of intense concentration and skill with much longer periods of walking around beautiful landscapes.

    There's no better sport for bringing people together and, with its winning combination of exercise, personal challenges, competition and social interaction, golf is the perfect tonic for good health and happiness.

    Golf is played on a course of 18 holes, with the winner being the person to take the least shots. A shorter version is the nine-hole game.

    Scottish Golf provides a club finder to help you locate your nearest course, as does England Golf. The Golf Union of Ireland runs a golf academy, while Golf Development Wales allows you to find your nearest club.
