Golf:
Golf is a sport that attracts more players than any other outdoor
sport-one of the reasons is the beautiful surroundings and the pleasure
of being on the course to share this experience amongst friends and
nature.
Golf has evolved as a sport from the fourteenth century to a
passion and a great game of integrity, competitiveness and trust, played
in a gentlemanly fashion, with the same aim-knocking a small ball over
distances of varying lengths to finally end up in a hole 41/4 inches in
diameter.
This is a game where no two playing fields are alike so it
is the constantly changing conditions and variety which really define
the essence of this very challenging form of recreation. To be able to
perform successfully on such a playing field demands the ability to
analyse and adjust to variable elements as well as the risk-reward
factor, altogether making the game so rewarding or, so humbling.
