Golf is a sport where players use a club to hit a ball to bring it into a series of holes on a course. There is no standardized area for the playing field of the sport. A game is won by the player with the lowest score. The game is normally played on a course with 18 holes with each hole having a tee box.

Golf in the Philippines
The sport was introduced into the Philippines by British nationals working at the Manila Railways Company. These British railway workers built a small golf course at the southern part of Intramuros during the Spanish period. When the Americans came, a nine-hole golf course was built close to the railway station. This golf course eventually led to the establishment of the Manila Golf Club.
