Golfing has become an incredibly popular sport. Most who participate
say it’s rather addictive, to say the least. But it’s also a demanding
sport. You’ll quickly learn the differences between the seven iron and
the seven wood, when to use the one iron (or that you’ll likely never
use it), and how to extract yourself from a sand trap. But the sport
has tons of subtleties as well and the technical age has definitely made
an impact. You can measure the “speed” of the course using a stimp
meter and track your scores to establish your golf handicap using the
latest software. You may even choose an interactive program to
critique and help correct your swing.
From custom made golf clubs to the latest gadget, manufacturers of
golf equipment and accessories have become a major economic
industry. You’ll find people who make a living giving golf lessons and
schools that will take you in for a week or more to break those bad
habits and help you establish a better stance and grip. It’s more than
being able to drive – it’s about putting, getting in shape and keeping
your eye on the ball. It is, very simply, golf.
