Handgolf is a ball sport in which competing players (or handgolfers) throw a golf ball into a series of holes on a course using the fewest number of strokes. Handgolf is defined, in the rules of handgolf, as "tossing a ball from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes." Play of Game
Every round of Handgolf is based on playing a number of holes in a given order. A "round"
typically consists of 18 holes that are played in the order determined by the course layout. On a standard course of 18 holes, each hole is played once in the round. Playing a hole on a Handgolf course is initiated by placing a ball into play by throwing the ball from the teeing ground (also called the tee box, or simply the tee). When the initial shot on a hole is intended to move the ball a long distance (typically more than 25 feet), the shot is commonly called a "drive" and is generally thrown over-handed. Shorter holes may be initiated with other methods, such as under-handed tosses or rolling the ball. Once the ball comes to rest, the player throws the next shot from the final resting place of the previous shot, as many times as necessary using shots that are variously known as a "lay-up", an "approach" or a "putt". The goal of getting the ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible may be impeded by obstacles such as areas of longer grass called "rough", which both slows any ball that contacts it and makes it harder to advance a ball that has stopped on it. It is one of the few ball games that does not require a standardized playing area. Instead, the game is played on a course, in general consisting of an arranged progression of 18 holes. Each hole on the course must contain a tee box to start from, and a putting green containing the actual hole. There are various other standardized forms of terrain in between, such as the fairway, rough, and hazards, but each hole on a course, and indeed among virtually all courses, is unique in its specific layout and arrangement. Handgolf competition is generally played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known simply as stroke play. Or the lowest score on the most individual holes during a complete round by a team, known as match play. Stroke play is the most commonly seen format at virtually all levels of play.
