Golf is a game of numbers there’s so much thought into every shot its not just numbers but also…

My Golf Cart Stories Some and or most of these should be relatable to you, because these are all the good times I had with my golf cart back at my old house when I lived near you. Hope you enjoy the memories! My Brother’s accident It was a cloudy day, and I remember it perfectly. Well… actually I was young so I don’t remember it perfectly, but the image of him getting absolutely demolished is still in my mind clearly and it’s glorious. Now, I remember that it was a few weeks before school,…

Golf clubs come in many different sizes. Some have square heads and others have flat heads. Golf clubs come in very different weights. The head of the golf club is where most of the weight is put.

A crack pierced the air as my grandmother’s golf ball whizzed down the center of the fairway. I could do nothing but stare, awestruck, as she confidently stepped off the tee box. I was perplexed by how a short, older woman was able to create enough force to send a ball almost 200 yards. She signaled to me that it was my turn to hit, and my twelve-year-old self enthusiastically raced to the box. I placed the ball down and focused on my target in the distance. I was eager to impress my…

eighth grade, that all changed thanks to a visit to Conway Farms, the site for the BMW Championship. Let me tell you first off, I am not the same person today as I was in seventh grade.

Second I no longer worry about other players, I have begun to just focus on my play. I am writing about this event because it is a huge…

the warmth of the sun shining its rays on my face...Lost in my thoughts of form and grip, contemplating yardage, angle and loft, dreaming of my future, I am at peace, I am on the golf course. When I was four years old, my dad put a club in my hand and a ball at my feet, since then, I have loved and despised the game of golf. From the moment I was introduced to the game, I was hooked and while many view it simply as ‘a game’, I have been fortunate enough to take much more away from the course.…

Golf became popular in America in the 1890s. The wealthy classes formed private golf clubs where they could play. Then just like today, its appeal depended on time and money. We must change this perception that golf only allows businessmen to get to know each other and do deals between shots and that only those privileged can play.
