The aim is to play a ball into a hole with as few strokes as possible, using different golf clubs. A round of golf usually consists of 9 to 18 holes that are completed one after the other on a golf course. If the ball cannot be played properly (for example because it can no longer be found or has sunk in a pond), the rules of golf provide for certain possibilities of resumption, but mostly with the addition of penalties.
