Like so many things in golf, the standardized size of the hole comes to us courtesy of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, with an assist from the links at Musselburgh.
In new rules issued in 1891, the R&A determined that the hole size should be standard on golf courses everywhere. So the R&A discussed just what exactly that size should be.
The size they decided on was 4.25 inches in diameter. The reason is that the folks at Musselburgh (now a 9-hole municipal course and called Royal Musselburgh Golf Club) had invented, in 1829, the first known hole-cutter. That ancient hole-cutter is still in existence and is on display at Royal Musselburgh.
That first hole-cutter utilized a cutting tool that was, you guessed it, 4.25 inches in diameter. The folks running the R&A apparently liked that size and so adopted it in their rules for 1891. And as was usually the case, the rest of the golf world followed in the footsteps of the R&A.
ANSWER:
4.25 inches, at least 4 inches deep.

Usually the driver if the hole starts on a par four or five. It's rare that they start on a par three. So on some par threes, there are people who can get to the green easily so they use an iron. Some are not to powerful so they use the driver. It depends what yardage it is.
Answer A driver such as a 1, 2 or 3 wood is normal for the long holes, my preferance was a 3 Iron for the shorter holes.

Despite a common belief that "golf" is an acronym for "Gentleman Only, Ladies Forbidden", the word can be traced back to similar words in ancient Scottish, German, and Dutch (among other early European languages), and all of these words meant "club", or something very similar. It appeared in writing in 1457, when the King outlawed the game due to it taking up time he believed should be spent in archery practice.

One hole on each 18 Green A professional golfer once told me there is eighteen golf holes because there is eighteen shots in a bottle of Whiskie! Have you heard the 19th hole? It's a bar, why do you think they call it that!
The Old Course at St. Andrews Scotland originally had 22 holes. Musselborough had 6.
When the Gutty ball became popular, the shorter holes at St. Andrews became too short for the members of the golf club so it was shortened to 18 holes. This became the standard.
ANSWER
Shots of a certain drink had nothing to do with the number of holes of golf we play. That is a lovely little story that the Scots invented, probably to appease the people who kept asking.
Truth of the matter is, a tradition course is 18 holes because St. Andrews is 18 holes and that is where the R&A is located. The number does not mean anything really as there is no rule that a golf course must be 18 holes. As a matter of fact the British Open between 1873-1889 was played on Prestwick which had 12 holes, St. Andrews with 18 and Musselburgh which had only 9 holes.
Even to this day one of my favorite courses in Scotland Shiskine has 12 holes.

Golf's roots can be traced to games and rituals dating back hundreds or thousands of years. However, the modern game of golf descends from Scotland, where shepherds would knock rocks into holes. The course at St. Andrews in Scotland is the world's earliest dedicated golf course.
