1. Golf: The Elements of Playing Golf
The origin of golf in Scotland and was enjoyed from 15th century. The game was encouraged by the king of England James VI in 1603. In 1721, Golf was regularly played on Glasgow green, and the first Golf club and rules were laid in 1744. The first rules were written by Edinburgh golfers, and the first golf club was the honorable company of Edin-burgh golfers. Saint Andrew is the name of the very first golf course situated in Scotland.
Understanding the game: The game is played by the competing players also termed as golfers with different types of clubs and balls. The club is a long stick with a grip on one head and a club on the bottom end. The player makes a grip on the upper head and hit is the ball with the help of the club to put them in the series of holes that are created on a golf course. Clubs are made from different materials like wood and expensive metals sometimes.
Golf courses: A golf course is consisting of a number of holes. These holes are arranged like a series, and each of the series comprises of teeing ground, rough, fairway and other hazards that a golfer has to cross with full power and courage.
Some of the area of the golf course is green with a flag-stick sticking up and a cup at the bottom of the flag. Most golf courses have 18 holes because a standard round of golf is actually based on 18 holes. The numbers of holes can be increased and decrease in many other courses. Some of them have nine holes and some of them have 27 or 36 holes.
Teeing ground or tee is the area from where the game is started or from where the first shot is placed. The area between the tee and putting green is called the fairway where the grass is very short and is considering the most advantageous area. Rough is the area, which is consid-ered as disadvantageous and creates a problem for the golfer in hitting the ball.
Par: Par represents the number of strokes that a good golfer should try to hit the ball in that many times or less. In professional golf tournaments, par is considered the central component of the game. Par three, four and five holes are very common in most courses; however, there are some courses with par six holes. The distance for men and women varies. Par three men are equal to 250 yards and par three women are 210 yards.
Basic rules of golf: Many people love to play golf but most of them are found unaware of the rules. Rules are adding more charm and fun to the game of golf. Other basic rules are to avoiding disturbing the golfer by chatting and stand-ing close to him/her. Play in a quick manner and try to minimize the number of strokes. Never put your club in the putting green. Before starting, you must read the in-ternational and standardized rules as well as local rules. Count your clubs before starting the actual game and make sure that the number of clubs must be fourteen in all.
