Depending on its location and the architect who designed a course may submit tree parts, shrubs or bushes, but also lakes, rivers and streams, known as water hazards, defined by Yellow stakes (if the obstacle through the hole) or red stakes (if the water hazard runs along the side holes). Placed at strategic locations to make the field attractive parts of sand, called bunkers can spice up the game The journey is the subject throughout the year, especially during the golf season, great care attentive.
Each hole has four areas: the fairway (where the grass is mowed short), the green around the hole (where the grass is very short, a few millimeters), pre-rough (where the grass is higher than on the driveway) and rough (where the grass is higher than the pre-rough). Areas in repair, defined by blue stakes, can also be found on the course and do not belong. On the other hand, the approach roads and areas around buildings and service buildings themselves are not part of the course. A bullet entering these areas is considered lost. Imaging of representing players resuming their attack on the roof of the clubhouse is obviously a joke.
