hello napoleone,

it's wrong to say "wo3 da3 qiu2 gao1 e3r fu1". Because in this sentence 高爾夫=高爾夫「球」, so you shouldn't say 「球」 twice.

further examples: 打桌球(table tennis) 打棒球(baseball) 打保齡球(powling) etc.

The word you metioned, 打球, contains a verb(打) and a noun(球)
You can say 我喜歡打球(I like to play ball) The most popular sport in Taiwan is basketball, therefore it often means to play basketball. Although we also enjoy watching baseball game, but it's easier to find a place to play basketball.
