a game where people use a tool to move an object toward a hole with as few actions as possible

Golf (noun) means: a game where people use a tool to move an object toward a hole with as few actions as possible. It emerges from game, tools, entities, space: people use tools to set objects in motion toward holes, counting actions within a structured game. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
