Golf
Competition Introduction
A sport competing for the lowest total number of strokes to get the ball into holes
Basic Rules
- One round consists of 18 holes. At TOKYO 2025 DEAFLYMPICS, individual competition plays 3 rounds (54 holes) and mixed team competition plays 1 round (18 holes)
- Players may carry a maximum of 14 clubs for hitting the ball
Unique Aspects of Deaf Sports
When play is suspended due to lightning danger or resumed, “whistles” normally signal this, but deaf golf uses “flags” for visual communication rather than sound, among other different information transmission methods.
