The more social adult games are golf and tennis are played by great numbers of people.

Golf.

Golf, which comes from Scotland, is played by striking a ball with a special golf club round a golf course with 18 holes, the object being get the ball into the holes with as few strokes as possible.

Tennis.

Tennis is becoming an ever greater favorite with young people. Some join a tennis club, but most find a partner and go to one of the public courts than can be hired (prenajaté) by the hour for a very small payment indeed. The first player to win six games wins the set unless the score reaches five all, in which case one player must gain a lead of two games.

Finally there are sports and games that are often thought of as exclusively British (like cricket) and many annual sporting events that the British look forward to eagerly, such as famous university best race between Oxford and Cambridge, which is held on the Thames every spring.
