Sport Report
The sport report is like a resume of a sport because you need to include the history, simplified rules that describe the sport. This is a great project because you get to learn about a new sport that is played by a lot of people. This also has ten standards. This was pretty fun and exciting because we needed to research a sport on our own and learn about it.

Golf
The sport report was a project that we did in class and a project that we did at home. It was mostly to chose a sport and to write history, rules and, etcetra about that sport. It wasn't that hard because there was a example of the project about team handball. It was also to learn about a new sport. It was also a written project that didn't include any physical activity like basketball.
Golf
History
Golf was originated in Scotland during the 15th Century and about 28.6 million people in the world play golf. Golf first appeared in the Olympics on October 2, 1900 in Paris at the Compiegne Club and there was 12 players. So today both woman and men are golf players associated with the International Golf Federation (IGF).
Simplified Rules of the Game
1) Object of the Game
In Golf the players are trying to hit the golf ball with the golf stick into a small goal that is dug underground. In this game there are no halves of the game like soccer so the player could take all the time they want to. Also since this is not a game where many players play like Team Handball one player needs to play until they make all the goals in the golf course
2) Field of Play
In Golf there is no size of courses so some could be small and some could be big. So each hole of the course only has a flag to help you know where the goal is and a hole in the ground. There is also a place called the green which is a place around the hole that has short grass so the sticks don't get stuck. Also in the course people ride golf carts or they role their golf bags to the hole but it cannot go in the green. In Golf there is 2 hazards which is bunkers and lakes. The water hazard is separated by lateral = red line or stick and regular = yellow line or stick. There are also Bunkers which is a deep big hole that has sand in it. There is also a sign of the # of pars it takes.
3) The Hole
The official goal size is 4.25 inches diameter and it has to be at least 4 inches deep. Inside the hole there needs to be a stand so the flag could stand.
4) The Ball
The golf ball is made out of plastic in the outside and rubber in the inside so it doesn't crack. The golf ball is 1.680 inches in diameter and the weight must not exceed 1.620 ounces. So both woman, men, and child use the same size ball. If the ball is lost the player needs to redo that shot at the place they shot the lost ball.
5)Teams
There is no such teams in golf but you could call the team your associated with teams and also your caddy who carries your golf bag and the person who you get information from like how many holes are left.
6)Playing the Ball
Players are allowed to:
Take all the time they want to
To hit how ever they want with the stick
To hit the other players ball
Hit to the other direction
Players are not allowed to:
Kick the ball
Hit the ball twice
Grab the ball saying it is broken
Take steroids
Hit the water or sand with the club
7)Penalties
There is no penalty unless you kick the ball, hit it twice, grab it, or take steroids. If you do one of those things not including steroids you just can't play for that game and if you take steroids your banned.
Par: Par is the # of strokes predetermined before the game to tell the player how many strokes it should take in that hole.
