1. TEE BOX
The tee box is a shortly-mowed area of grass where
golfers stroke their first shot on each hole. Each tee
box can vary in size, but the golfer starts by teeing the
ball up in between two markers.

2. FAIRWAY
Most golf holes have an area of short grass where the
tee shot is intended to land, known as the fairway. The
fairway on each hole can vary in width, slope and
straightness.

3. GREEN
Every golf hole consists of a final shot where the ball
is hit into the cup, which is located on the green. On
the green, the golfer hits his shot with a putter.

4. ROUGH
Most holes have an area of long grass surrounding the
fairway and green known as the rough. This grass can
vary in length, making it difficult and unpredictable to
know how a ball will fly out when struck.

5. HAZARDS
Some holes contain bunkers (sand traps) or water
known as hazards. Both types of hazard are in place to
penalize the golfer for hitting an errant shot.
