golfing

Chasing the hole

Golfing is playing golf—the sport where players use clubs to hit a ball into a series of holes across a landscaped course.

The term functions as both verb and noun: We're going golfing this weekend, golfing with clients.

It often implies leisure or business socializing as much as athletic competition.
