Golf Digest

often ask, “Who is the most successful golfer to ever play the game?” and the majority of answers would either say Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus. But first, the level of success in the game of golf ranges from many different aspects, all being dependent on the person playing the game. This is one of the things that makes the game so great. One may think he or she is successful at golf if he or she can consistently break 80 every round. Others may find that they are successful in the game if they obtain their PGA or LPGA Tour cards, no matter if they win any tournaments or not. Then there comes the “go-getters,” who believe they have achieved nothing unless they have won at the highest-level possible, which is the mindset of two of the…

Golf has been looked at by some as a mere game, or just an activity. However, this is not the case. Golf should be considered a sport because of the income brought in by the athletes, how it has been put into the Olympics (the ultimate worldwide sporting event), and how it is played just like other sports, amateurly and professionally. Based on income, athletes that compete in golf are some of the best paid athletes in the entire world. Two of the top four richest athletes of all time are…

PERSONAL CONNECTION Which aspect of golf is most important for a recreational golfer to practice? To get from the tee box to close to around the green, or to get in the hole from close to the green? I believe that short game is more important than long game, because golfers use and lose the most strokes in this part of golf. If you can cut the strokes you use by the green, you can start to score lower, and lower, and lower. PUTTING AND CHIPPING First, let's talk about some basic golf…

An outsider to golf may think the sport is boring, quiet, monotonous, that it has no point. After all, isn’t it just a bunch of guys carrying heavy bags, whacking balls around for hours at a time? What’s the point? As it turns out, there is more to golf than what's on the surface. It is not boring, quiet, or even monotonous, and it definitely does have a point -- more than one, actually. Because golf so closely resembles life, it teaches an abundance of lessons that not only help on the course…

centuries and mastered by many. One of the most simple games ever made in history. Gowf or otherwise known as Golf as told by Richard Cavendish, was made for entertainment purposes but soon grew into the competitive sport it is today(np). But it didn’t just take five years and they ended up with golf. This game has been around a lot longer than most think. A lot of changes for the worse or for the better have been made to golf over the many many years. Changes to the rules and equipment…

Some people say that they golf to relax. I however cannot understand that statement. Personally I would rather just throw my first three balls directly into the river and drop my fourth two hundred feet from the green. And I’d rather build castles in the sand trap rather than try to pitch a ball out of it. But somehow in the seventh grade I found myself on the junior high golf team. Although I didn’t know it when I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet, golf would teach me the most important lesson…

Equipment The “Rules of Golf” supply extensive detail on the specifications allowed when manufacturing a golf club. As with most of the rules these ones are geared towards tournament players. Recreational golfers should be allowed to use whichever clubs they wish to use. If a club that is illegal in a tournament will give an extra few yards to an average golfer it can dramatically increase the pace at which that golfer plays. Hitting the ball farther not only makes it quicker to get from tee to…

Daniel Ward Professor Meyers English 111 5 October 2015 Cavity-Back Versus Muscle-Back Could game improvement irons be preventing individuals from becoming a better ball striker? The game improvement concept that originated in the 1980s has offered a new style of golf club head called a cavity-back. The sole purpose of the cavity-back iron design is to combine forgiveness and playability for the average golfer and to lower one’s scores quickly. Traditionally, the muscle-back iron design…

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. That is the stance that the Saddle Creek Golf Resort in Copperopolis is taking to embrace the drought. The ideal golf course has perfectly manicured grass that is as green as an Ireland hillside.But with water usage being highly monitored, and unnecessary outdoor watering being heavily scrutinized, Saddle Creek decided to roll with the punches and has decided that brown is beautiful. “I’ve been playing golf all my life and have been used to playing on very lush,…
