In the sport of golf the popularity is growing tremendousy over the past 40 years or so giving us champions from the likes of Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus at many of the worlds renowned courses like Augusta National, Pinehurst, and Blue Monster at Doral.
Why has the sport of golf become so popular? it`s the opportunity to get a whole body workout, to be outside, and to be social with friends or family members, and even business colleagues at a relaxed pace, and enjoy a sport that you may never perfect.
Your scorecard, and in time you will show an improvement which will keep you playing the timeless game again.
Here`s a very basic golf lesson which is for a person who may have no clue of the game of golf.
The sport of golf is played on a 18 hole course, each hole has a set par, which will be the number of tee-shot drives into the fairways, chips towards the green, and ofcourse your putts.
The par number will be based on the distance and the difficulty of the hole. Pars will range from 3 to 6 per hole. Have a ball in the hole within 5 shots on a par 5 hole, you will have made par, now if it took 6 shots, it would be called a bogie, and if you make it in 4 shots its a birdie.
Now there are many hazards of sorts through out the 18 holes of a course, from anything like sand traps, small bodies of water, trees placed in strategical spots along the holes making it more of a challenge. The beginner golfer should seek courses that play alittle easier and have a fewer hazards.
Each golfer may keep there own score, marking the total number of shots taken at every hole, and at the end of game each golfer adds the scorecard to see who has the lowest score will be the winner.
It`s important that the beginner is not to take themselves so serious, it does take some time to become good at golf, and even thou professionals may make it look too easy.
Having one or two lessons at the start may help you in developing good habits , and a proper swing, and helping you to get a good start to your golf game.
Now remember that its just a golf game. Have a good time and look at it this way you`re outside and away from your job.
