Back then, most people would think that one needs to be a pro to play golf. Today, people of all ages would play golf either for fun, exercise, tournament or just hanging out with friends and play a few holes. There are golf courses that would offer only 9 holes to play through but there are many golf courses which would offer the whole 18 holes for golfers who want to practice on their swings. There are also places called mini golf clubs where, instead of using a whole range of golf clubs, they would only give a putter wherein one has to putt the golf ball through various obstacles along the short path into the hole.
There are people who would think that golf is a boring sport, but no, it isn't a dull sport as a lot of people think it is. When a golfer swings that perfect swing and sees his ball land on the green, the golfer and fans alike would cheer for the next putt may sink the golf ball into the hole. A good swing to the golf ball may also be considered when the golfer swings his golf club to hit the ball and the ball lands on the fairway other than the rough or the sand trap, or worse it goes out of bounds. For when it is already in the fairway, the hole can be now be very visible as the holes in a golf course are usually marked by
golf flags. Theses
golf flags are usually decorated with bright and vibrant colors so that golfers would know in what direction they would swing their golf clubs to hit the ball in order to sink the ball into the hole, if not, then land it on the green.
Other than golf courses, there are also places called driving ranges wherein people, professional golfers and amateur golfers alike, practice their swing on a very small place, similar to a batting cage but only bigger, to swing and hit the ball into holes that are only a few yards away from where they are standing. In driving ranges, you don't walk, instead you are given a bucket of golf balls then swing away and practice your swings.
The game of golf itself is exciting and invigorating, especially since the objective of the game is to sink the golf ball into the hole with the lowest possible number of swings that you can. This is because some holes are exceptionally challenging even to the professional golf player. A breath of fresh air is simply priceless to a golfer. A cheer or two when the golfer gets a hole in one, this means that he sunk the golf ball into the whole with just one swing.
If you get really good in this sport you can win some tournaments and even win cash prizes to boot.
