I have a tip that
can take five strokes off anyone's golf game: it's called an
eraser.
Arnold Palmer
"Golf
is a
sport in
which individual players or teams hit a
ball into a
hole using various
clubs, and
also is one of the few
ball games
that does not use a fixed standard playing area. It is defined
in the
Rules of Golf
as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into
the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with
the Rules." Golf is said to have originated in
the Netherlands
(see
History below), but has been
played for at least five centuries in the
British Isles.
Golf, in essentially the form we know today, has been played
on Scotland's
Musselburgh Links
(today the world's oldest golf course) since 1672, while
earlier versions of the game had been played in the British
Isles and the low-countries of Northern Europe for several
centuries before that. Although often viewed as an upperclass
pastime, golf is an increasingly popular sport across all
sections of society".
