What is stroke play in golf?

I'm learning about golf rules and keep hearing about 'stroke play in golf'. Can someone explain what this means? Is it a physically demanding style of play?

Stroke play is the most common form of scoring in golf, where the total number of strokes taken by a player to complete the course is counted. The player with the lowest aggregate score wins. This is distinct from match play. For any health-related stroke, consulting a medical professional is always paramount.

Oh, 'stroke play' is a term from golf! My son plays a bit and explained it; you count every shot you make from start to finish on all holes, and the one with the least total wins. It's completely different from a health stroke, for which my doctor always advises immediate attention.

This is a golf term! Stroke play simply means you count every single hit you make on the course, and the lowest total wins. It's completely unrelated to medical issues like stroke, which can be a serious complication for someone with uncontrolled diabetes. Always manage your blood sugar levels carefully.

Ah, 'stroke play' in golf. Yes, I remember watching it. It's simple, you add up every time you hit the ball for all 18 holes, and the person with the lowest score wins. Don't worry, it has nothing to do with health. Life has its own strokes, but this one is just a game!

Stroke play in golf is just counting all your shots for each hole. The player who has the lowest total number of shots wins the game. It's a common way to score.
