Golf is simply a game whereby a person with the lowest score wins at the end, funny isn't it. The person who gets the balls into each hole, with fewer shots wins.

There are usually 9 to 18 holes to complete. Each competitor takes a turn to complete the sequence.

Usually, in the game of golf the person furthest away from the hole takes the first shot.

This is done after everyone has taken a first try shot.

The environment on the golf course makes the game tough and interesting.

Hole in One simply refers to the first shot which goes straight from one point into the hole.

This kind of feat can be done, but to be honest it requires constant preparation to be able to do it.

WHAT IS A PAR?

Let us say an athlete has 4 shots to make before getting the ball in the hole. Of course, an athlete could make a shot in one given go. So basically if an athlete delivers a shot in under 4 tries, lets say in just under 2 tries, we say 2 below par and so on. If an athlete makes a shot with 5 or more tries we say 5 above par and so on.

WHY DO PEOPLE PLAY GOLF?

Golf is so popular because one can play into their 60s or 70s. Unlike football where one has to retire due to old age settling in. Golf is a sport that is loved by the elderly due to this reason.

Walking the length and breadth of the golf course is therapeutic and makes one physically fit. It is also said to combat depression, anxiety, and mental challenges.

People play golf because it is lucrative. Golf is certainly a world recognized sport. Professional golf players participate in various tournaments for prize money. The Masters, US Open, and many more are played every year.

Also, the entry barrier for golf is very high. It does not necessarily depend on your fitness or speed. It just depends on your technical aspect and years of practice.

Why golf is hard to get into is because of the cost of owning equipment.

One must say if you are talented at the sports, and have some form of experience, then you could be helped to acquire the types of equipment.

The game of golf is safe to play. It is a non-contact sport. It is simply just you, the ball, and your club. Once you get the hang of it you're good to go.

Tiger Woods is the most successful golf player ever. His technique was unmatched he won major tournaments. Even getting endorsements to feature on PGA TOUR console games. This man may be unrivaled for years to come.
