Golf is a relatively easy sport yet it can still sometimes be difficult to play for some. In principle the game is about striking a small ball using a customized stick with a heavy end some distance and eventually into a small hole. Then repeating this exercise 17 more times over holes of different lengths and degree of difficulty.

The golfer is equipped with a set of clubs (maximum 14 in total) of varying length, club head density and loft of face, which hit the ball different lengths and heights, and a putter for use on the greens.

Tiger Woods, PGA Most amateurs play the game over 18 holes (also known as a roundcof golf), using any of a number of game formats. Professional play normally consists of Strokeplay, with most events played over 4 rounds (72 holes and 4 days). The winner, quite simply, is the player who plays the 72 holes in the fewest shots or strokes.

*** NEW *** Use our Golf Directory to find almost any golf course in the USA (Canadian courses to be added soon).

Thanks to SOME GREAT people like Tiger Woods, the PGA, and the LPGA the game of golf has become a REALLY popular past time for many. One that anybody can easily learn and afford to play, no matter what level they are at.
