Golf has been a form of recreational game dating back centuries ago, when primitive methods were still employed. During that time, there were no defined clubs. There was only one kind, the driver club made of hard wood. The golf ball that was used that time didn't have any pits, it was just a solid wooden ball used which sometimes shattered after countless whacks and smashes by the club and obstacles. Furthermore, there were not any golf flags or custom golf flags for that sort used.

Nowadays, the game has been developed into a sport, though not of Olympic standards, as it was said to be too casual and non-engaging. It was difficult to create a niche for golf in Olympic committee gatherings because it was too long to conduct. With 18 holes, 9 in front, and 9 back, it was difficult to hold a sporting event and it was decided that the sport had to be conducted in its own tournament schemes.

The main objective of golf is to hit the ball with your club and try to shoot it in a very small hole in the ground situated hundred of yards away. This of course should be done with the least number of strokes, and without encountering too much environmental obstacles such as sand traps, artificial ponds, and rough areas. To help golfers seek out their targets, custom golf flags are erected in the middle of the hole for visibility even at great distances. These flags have poles which still allow the golf ball to fit perfectly inside from any angle.

Some designs have been created for some personalities and celebrities in the golfing world, mostly for advertising purposes. Nevertheless, the usual golf flag used has a white triangular banner, which would perfectly contrast the green, brown, yellowish or bluish background of grass, ground, sand or water, respectively.

Golfing is a sport mastered with great control of the swing and power as well. Practice may not make perfect shots, but would definitely give permanent basics of good golf playing.
