People have been playing golf for centuries and will continue to play for many to come. If you are just starting out or if you have been playing the game for a long time, you are a part of history. Golf began in Scotland with sheep herders who pitched rocks into holes dug by rabbits and other animals with their staffs. The game become competitive after awhile and evolved into the game it is today. After starting in Scotland, golf quickly spread to England, Canada, and eventually the United States. There are golf courses all over the world today in many countries including South America, Africa, and Asia.
Even though the game now has a set of rules that everyone follows, when the game started different regions had slightly different rules. Once the game of golf become more popular, rules were created and so were golf courses complete with obstacles, green grass, and beautiful views. For those who live near a golf course, there is nothing more beautiful than sunrise over the greens. Many people enjoy the view and the game so much that they move to communities that are on the golf course. This makes it much easier to get to the course and play more often.
After a few years of playing golf at the same course, you may want to find new courses and challenges. When traveling on vacation, visit new courses. Since there are courses all over the world, you should be able to find one or two that you can play while relaxing on vacation. You can also go on a golf vacation where you visit a few courses within a week or so. This is fun for those who golf with groups or those who want to meet other golfers.
Golf will continue to grow in popularity as more and more celebrity golfers, magazines, and pro shops open. There are many new golf courses that open each year and are open to anyone who wants to take up the game or those who want to play at a new golf course.

Ten Moments in golf decade(iii)
By: Tinny | 28/12/2009Still on a personal note, another memory of playing club golf at the Milnerton GC will be the strange behaviour of my golf ball on an especially windy day. I managed, with the help of the South Easter, to reach the raised green of the par-five eighth in three and was in with a great chance of making an easy birdie from four feet. But as I approached my ball and began lining up my putt, a strong gust blew it away, the ball just missing the hole by a fraction of an inch before finally coming to re

By: Tinny | 28/12/2009Lee Westwood' s enormous delight and tears of joy after his memorable victory at the inaugural Dubai World Championship won't be easy to forget.

But what really put him over the moon and caused the normally placid Englishman to get w

By: Tinny | 28/12/2009Rory McIlroy's cheerful, freckled face is perhaps the golf countenance I'll most remember as representing 2009, partly, I suppose, because, we all saw so much of it as his teenaged heroics brought his World Ranking down from 50th after his first European Tour victory at the Dubai Desert Classic in January to an incredible 9th after his third place finish at the season closing Dubai World Championship, but more so, I guess, because I saw his curly-topped visage as golf's new face of the future.
