[{"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": "user", "content": "I have recently taken up golf as a hobby.  I am not good, but want to learn!

It is an expensive sport though.  When was golf invented?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "it originated all the way in 15th century in Scotland"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I had no idea it was that old!  Why does the golf ball have all those little dimples in it?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "i believe so it can perform within specified velocity, distance and symmetry limits"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is fascinating.  I wonder how they figured that out.  I imagine that the specialized clubs contribute to competitive advantage in the sport as well, right?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "yes, you are right! Players usually use various clubs to hit balls"}, {"role": "user", "content": "It seems a little unfair.  A player with a lot of money to spend on equipment can dominate a less well off competitor.  Do you agree?  "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "i agree. but i'm sure people can rent clubs. recreational courses are usually smaller than the highest level course"}]
