3. Golf course
A golf course consists of a series of holes, each with a teeing
ground that is set off by two markers showing the bounds of the legal
tee area, fairway, rough and other hazards, and the putting
green surrounded by the fringe with the pin (normally a flagstick) and
cup.
The levels of grass are varied to increase difficulty, or to allow for
putting in the case of the green. While many holes are designed with
a direct line-of-sight from the teeing area to the green, some holes
may bend either to the left or to the right. This is commonly called a
"dogleg", in reference to a dog's knee. The hole is called a "dogleg
left" if the hole angles leftwards and "dogleg right" if it bends right.
Sometimes, a hole's direction may bend twice; this is called a "double
dogleg".
A typical golf course consists of 18 holes, but nine-hole courses are
common and can be played twice through for a full round of 18 holes
