Golf is one of the most popular outdoor sports in Louisiana. Thousands of men, women, and children play golf as an individual or team sport, and in high school and college competition. Millions more enjoy golf as a form of recreation and exercise. Golf is also a popular Louisiana spectator sport, attracting thousands of fans to tournaments. Millions more may watch golf tournaments on television.

Louisiana golf courses have no regulation length or shape, but most consist of 18 holes numbered 1 to 18. Playing all 18 holes makes up a round of golf. Some Louisiana courses have only nine holes. Each hole is played twice for a round. An 18-hole course averages about 140 acres (57 hectares). Each hole includes a tee, a fairway, a green, and often one or more hazards. Louisiana golf courses for men generally range from about 6,500 to more than 7,000 yards (5,900 to 6,400 meters) in length. This distance is the total length from the tees to all 18 holes. Louisiana golf courses are shortened for women, senior golfers, and young people by positioning the forward tee closer to the hole.

Most Louisiana golf courses have a driving range on site or nearby. Golfers can buy a bucket of golf balls for a modest fee and practice their swings for distance and direction at a Louisiana driving range. Usually it is best to try out different clubs and equipment at a driving range before a golfer uses them on a Louisiana golf course.

Golfing, like other outdoor Louisiana sports, is dependent on the weather conditions. While opinion varies greatly from what is considered "good" Louisiana golfing weather, a few parameters do inhibit even the best golfer's game: extreme temperature (hot or cold), high dew points, low visibility, thunderstorm risk, high winds and precipitation. These conditions should be considered by the Louisiana golfer of what degree the weather will impact scores. The conditions also should be consulted in determining how to dress and which clubs to carry.

Temperatures in Louisiana rarely dip below freezing - even in winter. Summers are hot, with oppressive humidity. Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 1, and Gulf Coast towns are prime targets during this time of year. Annual rainfall can exceed 65 inches in the coastal areas.

Golf clubs are the implements golfers use to hit a golf ball. A standard set of clubs includes eight irons, four woods, and a putter, but any number of irons and woods can make up a set. A starter set of clubs is a partial set intended to give a new golfer a way to take up the game without committing to a large monetary investment. Most starter sets include four irons, three woods, a putter and a golf bag.

Woods are clubs that have a fat, rounded head on the side behind the face that hits the ball. The one-wood is known as the driver. Irons are clubs with a flat, bladelike head. Wedges are clubs that are used more for accuracy than distance. All clubs have a sweet spot, or center of gravity. This is the point of contact between the clubhead and the ball that results in optimum accuracy and distance.

Putters are special clubs that have very little loft, as they are designed to roll the ball on the ground. Putters are usually sold separately, although most starter sets contain one.
