About Golf

“Golf is very much like a love affair; if you don’t take it seriously, it’s no fun, if you do, it breaks your heart.  Don’t break your heart, but flirt with the possibility.”

~ Louise Suggs

Are you having a love affair with the game of golf?  If so, you’re definitely not alone!  Golf is a game that was once enjoyed almost exclusively by the wealthy but has since grown to a hobby that is commonplace and affordable to virtually anyone.  Even children enjoy so-called miniature golf courses, and Par 3 courses are popular with young adults and those not quite up to the standard courses.

Many mistakenly believe that golf was an invention of the 19th century; no doubt television has a lot to do with these types of misconceptions.  People often assume something is new when they first stumble upon it, and television brought golfing championships to the eyes of the general public.  But in reality golf has been around for literally centuries.
