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. 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. The game is played and partonised in
