Golf


Golf is a club and ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible.

 Golf is one of the few ball games that do not require a standardised playing area. The game is played on a course with an arranged progression of either nine or 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 other standard forms of terrain in between, such as the fairway, rough, and hazards, but each hole on a course is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.

 Golf is played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known as stroke play, or the lowest score on the most individual holes in a complete round by an individual or team, known as match play. Stroke play is the most commonly seen format at all levels.

Starting Mobile Phones

A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone, hand phone, or simply a phone) is a  phone  that can make and receive  telephone calls  over a  radio link  while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a  cellular network  provided by a  mobile phone operator , allowing access to the  public telephone network . By contrast, a  cordless telephone  is used only within the short range of a single, private base station. In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other  services  such as  text messaging ,  MMS ,  email , Internet access, short-range wireless communications ( infrared ,  Bluetooth ), business applications, gaming, and photography. Mobile phones that offer these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as  smartphones . The first hand-held cell phone was demonst...

Latest Scientific Invention

Sci-Fi Cloaking Device Could Protect Soldiers from Shock Waves A researcher at the defense company Boeing has filed a patent for a sci-fi-esque cloaking device that would protect soldiers from intense shock waves generated by explosions. The just-issued patent (No. 8,981,261) to Boeing envisions stopping shock waves using a veil of heated, ionized air. Such a "shield" would damp  the force of explosions . It doesn't build an invisible wall of force, but rather makes shock waves bend around objects, just as some high-tech materials bend light and make things invisible. Brian J. Tillotson, a senior research fellow at Boeing, said the idea occurred to him after noticing the kinds of injuries suffered by soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. "We were doing a much better job of stopping shrapnel," Tillotson told Live Science. "But they were  coming home with brain injuries ."
