[FONT=&#48148]The golf game consists of 18 holes. After playing all the 18 holes, the player who hit the ball the fewest times will be the winner. Golf is a very tricky sport that needs controlling small balls with clubs of various lengths, It's one of golf's attractions that it's hard to control your mind while playing golf.

If something is wrong in the underlined parts, please correct me.[/FONT]

I offer corrections to the text, not you!

Perhaps better:

The player with the lowest score is the winner.

Thanks a lot!
1. I don't know about golf a lot. But why is it "lowest score"? Isn't it "highest score"?

2. This is hard to understand, what about the next one?

No, it's the lowest score. You want to get round the course with as few shots as possible. Someone who scores 96 will lose to someone who scores 92.

Well, I'm not a golfer, but I can pretend to be one, because I know it's strokes and not shots.
