The Game of Golf

"The Game of Golf consists of playing a ball from a teeing ground into a hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules. It is one of the oldest sports in the world, and was originally played by the kings and noblemen on the sandy links in Scotland. Golf is now played by people of all ages in almost every country. Unlike most sports, you do not have to be big, strong, and fast or part of a team to be successful. Anyone — man, woman, young, old, amateur or professional can enjoy the game of golf." 

Attributes of Golf

• Individualization: No special physique is required to hit a golf ball, so everyone is free to do it however he/she is able. The philosophy of "I intend to make it work" applies here.
• Sociability: Each personality has needs of interacting and fellowship with others, and our game is particularly adaptable to this desire.
• Mental Gymnastics: Performance of a physical skill brings great satisfaction to the individual. To some degree decision-making enters into the process, as a result, character building takes place. We must assure that our instructional periods create a sense of accomplishment that is necessity for everyone.
• Sportsmanship and a Sense of Belonging: Everyone faces success or failure with each shot. The bad must be accepted along with the good. The need to exhibit self-discipline occurs many times. But remember! Golf is still a game, and should be enjoyed as such.
