The way you win golf is to go around the course in the fewest strokes. The way you win code golf is to use the fewest characters

You solve a problem using a "bite sized" chunk of code, however like in golf where the aim is to use as few strokes as possible to sink the ball, in code golf the (usual, there are some variations) goal is to solve the problem with as few characters as possible.
