Pitch and Putt golf, a sport that blends the precision of golf with the accessibility of shorter courses, has steadily grown in popularity since its inception. Originating in Ireland, it has evolved with unique rules and a distinct identity, separate from traditional golf.
The game is played on par 3 courses, making it ideal for urban settings and offering a more affordable and less time-consuming alternative to standard golf.
Governed by bodies like the Federation of International Pitch and Putt Associations (FIPPA) and the International Pitch and Putt Association (IPPA), the sport has seen variations in rules as it spread globally.
