Practice or Practise? The answer lies in how you're using it.

✔️ Practice = a noun (a thing)"The golf practice facility is open.""My short game needs more practice."
✔️ Practise = a verb (an action)"I'm going to practise my bunker shots."
Fun fact: This spelling distinction is used in British English and many other English-speaking countries that follow British spelling conventions including organizations like the R&A. In American English, practice is used for both the noun and the verb such as in the USGA verbiage.
Just one example of how golf is a global game, with language that can be just as interesting as the Rules.
