At club level it is simply a collection of members playing the course and trying to shoot the best nett and gross scores. The two main types are stroke play where the players use one ball and record the amount of strokes used to complete all 18 holes.

It is usually called Greens. heard of the phrase "I'm hitting the greens today" it means he's playing golf today.

The numbers are on the balls, so two or more players who like to play the same type of ball can do so without the risk of confusing their ball with someone else's. e.g. if two players like to play 'Titlest' - both can, as long as each player declares, and uses, a different number Titilest. A box of new balls typically comes with 4 sleeves; numbered 1-4 or 5-8. Each sleeve contains 3 balls with the same number. You see, hitting another player's ball, and not your own, is a 2-stroke penalty.

If another player plays your ball, they receive a two shot penalty and you then replace your ball as near as possible to where it was before they played it.

If someone walks past or an animal etc moves it, you simply replace it without penalty, where possible you must get the original ball, if you can not get the original ball, you may replace it with a new one.

"Bird" was a slang term for 'good' in the 19th century and so a great shot on the golf course became known as a 'bird', which then turned into 'birdie'. It was used for any under-par score at first. Then, 'eagle' was added to maintain the avian theme and it differentiated a shot of two under par, from the 'birdie', which was one under par.
