Can you explain for a new follower of golf what a birdie and etc are?
Each hole at golf has a standard number of strokes (number of times the ball is hit) to get it in the hole. This number is called Par, taken from the par value of stock. For example, if the standard number of strokes for a hole is four, it is called a Par four hole. If a player gets the ball in the hole in one less than (one under) Par, it is called a Birdie. Legend has it that a famous player's ball hit a bird in mid-air and he then completed the hole in one stroke under and the term Birdie was born. Making the hole in two strokes under Par is a larger bird so it's called an Eagle. Three strokes under Par an Albatross, because an Albatross is such a rare bird.
If you take one more stroke than Par it's call a Bogey, after the Bogey Man. Two strokes over is a Double-Bogey. Three is a Triple-Bogey.
Ascertain whether handicap is imposed by society?
Yes, handicap can be imposed by society through systemic barriers, social stigma, and lack of accessibility. These societal factors can limit opportunities for individuals with disabilities, affecting their participation in various aspects of life, such as employment, education, and social interactions. Additionally, societal attitudes and stereotypes can further marginalize individuals, creating an environment where their abilities are undervalued. Thus, the experience of handicap is often shaped as much by societal structures as by individual limitations.
Handicap allowance for yellow peril?
Yellow peril is, basically, a better ball competition where it is stipulated that one member of the team must count at selected holes. Therefore there is no problem regarding handicap allowances - surely all players should get their normal 75% of their playing handicap as in any other 4 ball better ball situation.

Why does a draw go farther than a slice?
A draw usually has a lower trajectory so you get more roll once the ball hits the ground.
"Draw" and "slice" are not mirror golf shots. For a right handed golfer, a draw moves gently from right to left, a hook moves severely from right to left, and a fade moves gently from left to right, a slice moves severely from left to right. A draw tends to have over-spin, which will cause it to run, where a fade tends to have backspin and lands "soft".

Can a golf professional play in an amateur game of golf?
Yes they could, but when they got the result they will be DQ ( disqualified). But if they told the referee first, they will just let them play but they won t be in match.
But the pros won t do like this because they knows the rules. And playing amateur tour does not earn much money than the professional tours.
What happens if you are about to tee off from the wrong place and someone tells you?
If this happens, you pick up your ball and tee it up on the proper tee box, no penalty. However, if you or anyone in your group tee'd off from the wrong place they receive a two shot penalty and must correct their mistake (by teeing off from the proper tee box) before they commence the next hole. If they do not fix their mistake they are DQ'd.

There is a game played called 'Criers and Whiners'. In this game, a golfer's handicap is converted into free strokes that may be used at any time, anywhere on the course. For example, let's say that a golfer's handicap is 10. Instead of applying the handicap in the usual way, in Criers and Whiners, the golfer is allowed 10 'free' strokes to be used anytime during the match. These free strokes can be thought of as mulligans.
