description Pitch and putt Overview
Pitch and putt is a variant of golf played on shortened courses, typically featuring holes measuring under 100 meters and limiting players to no more than three clubs. The organized sport originated in County Cork, Ireland, in the late 1920s as a more compact and affordable alternative to traditional golf. The game is played internationally, with organized governing bodies in countries including Ireland, Spain, and Australia, each maintaining slightly varying rules and course specifications. Pitch and putt courses require less land than standard golf courses, making the sport accessible in urban and space-limited settings.
