“Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.”
- ARNOLD PALMER, American Golfer
Getting fed up of sitting all day at home on a bright sunny Sunday morning? Don't know what to do? Well, you've got many options at your disposal. You can go for a nice little picnic in the woods with friends and family or you can watch a movie at the nearest multiplex. But seldom does one opt for a game, which is both entertaining as well as exciting.
Think of games and the first game that strikes you is the ever-popular cricket or soccer. Some people also consider lawn tennis or badminton as an option. But seldom do people consider golf as a viable option. This was the scenario a few years back, when golf was considered as a game only fit for the rich and elite, who have crossed the age of forty. Surprisingly golf today is one of the most followed games by all age groups and the innumerable golf clubs and golf schools springing up all across Australia bear testimony to that fact. Gone are the days when golf was perceived as a game played by people who have developed a nice round paunch, as they do not need to move around much. In fact, golf, bowling and cards were slotted in the same category. But now, many youngsters and adolescents are attracted towards the game and love to play golf in their spare time.
If you are among the ones who are interested in golf, you can join a golf club today or may be, even a discount golf club and avail the facilities being provided by them. To begin with you first need golf shoes, golf balls and the golf stick, which are easily available in any of the numerous golf stores across the country. People who are new to the golfing phenomenon can avail of the coaching facilities being provided by the clubs, which are very nominally priced. So there you are, you are left with no excuse for not learning golf.
A recent phenomenon that has been observed for the past few years is that many people are opting for golf resorts as against normal resorts. This shows the growing popularity of golf among all sections of society. So, if you are not yet into golfing, then you are really missing out on something amazing.
