[{"role": "system", "content": "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, unlike most ball games, cannot and does not utilize a standardized playing area, and coping with the varied terrains encountered on different courses is a key part of the game. The game at the highest level is played on a course with an arranged progression of 18 holes, though recreational courses can be smaller, usually 9 holes. Each hole on the course must contain a tee box to start from, and a putting green containing the actual hole or cup (4.25 inches in diameter). There are other standard forms of terrain in between, such as the fairway, rough (long grass), sand traps (or \"bunkers\"), and various hazards (water, rocks, fescue) 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, but most especially at the elite level. The modern game of golf originated in 15th century Scotland.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not that great at golfing but it is really fun. Having to deal with the varied terrains makes it that much more interesting."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh yeah, it's a different sort of sport, you know? I wish it wasn't seen as such an expensive thing, all it requires is green and clubs."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah it really isn't as elitist as people seem to think. Also golf has been around for a long time, since the 15th century in Scotland!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I didn't know that, that's really cool. I've only played once or twice in my lifetime."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I've played my fair share of times, so I know that I'm supposed to get the lowest number of strokes, but I still am pretty mediocre at golf haha."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I do excellent at mini golf, but not full-size golf."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Me too, mini golf is so much different though. Apparently any form of golf didn't become internationally popular until the 19th century."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Hrm. I suppose because you do have to mow the green and I'd hate to mow a full-size putting green with a manual mower."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Even if the course is full-size, at the very least you don't have to play out all 18 holes, you can go for closer to 9 since golf can take a while."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes, especially with people who are bad at it. I ran into that with Billards/Pool. My family owned a table growing up so I've played it a lot. Against other people we're playing 30+ minutes."}]
