teams hit a ball into a hole using various clubs.

standard playing area. It is 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."

which records survive was played at Bruntsfield Links, in Edinburgh,
Scotland, in 1456, recorded in the archives of the Edinburgh Burgess
Golfing Society, now The Royal Burgess Golfing Society.

Palm Meadows Golf Courses
Designed by leading Australian golfer Graham Marsh, Palm Meadows was
the first championship course on the Gold Coast. Palm Meadows rests
on over 350 hectares, just a few kilometres west of the heart of Surfers
Paradise and Broadbeach. A par 72 measuring 6319 metres off the championship
tees with water coming into play on 14 of the 18 holes, along with
82 challenging sand bunkers.
There are eleven kilometres of golf cart paths bordering all fairways
making Palm Meadows an all weather golf course.
The first hole is regarded by many as one of the world's most challenging
opening holes. With water running the entire length of the hole
on the left and the world famous 'Bamboo Curtain' on the right,
golfers must have courage in their bag from the first shot of the
day.
The signature hole at Palm Meadows is the world famous 18th hole.
Measuring 523 metres from the championship tees, the player has
the opportunity to chance their arm as to how much of the dogleg
right they want to cut off. Curtis Strange, well aware of his capabilities
during the playoff with Roger Davis for the 1990 Palm Meadows Cup,
took the long way home. Davis however did not, and it goes to say
Davis eagled the hole and took home first place, how much do you
dare?
In 2002 the 18th hole was rated by the American Golf Digest as
one of the top 500 golf holes in the world, as nominated by Curtis
Strange.
