Golf

 

Golf is a game that can frustrate, anger, embarass, and yes, even bring fulfilment, but it is a sport that takes a lot of dedication, time, and money to master. This page and the linked pages you will find here, begin to examine the history of golf, the personalities in golf today, as well as in the past, and, you will also find some personal reminisces of the great game of golf.

Below is a listing of Sportshistory pages, news, and reviews dealing with the great game of golf.

Golf Links, Resources, News, and Reviews:

There are many websites, books, and other resources that discuss the game of golf. For example, this writer took up golf some years ago. Looking into how to learn the game, and how to not make a fool out of myself on the links, I decided to go two main routes. First, I bought a set of old clubs at a pawn shop (keeping expenses low, just in case I tanked out), and paid for lessons from the local golf pro at the municipal golf range. The lessons helped, but I found that I was taking up too much time during the golf lessons (and, as I recall now, many years later I initially paid for ten lessons), I decided that I needed to do some real homework on my own. To this end, I borrowed a bunch of books on golf techniques, the history of golf, and golfing basics, so that I would understand the terminology of golfing as used by my golf pro teacher. That helped quite a bit, but I had this pile of old books laying around, (I did eventually return them to the fellow from whom I borrowed them).

Now, keep in mind, this was back in the early 1990s, not long before the internet really hit. If I were to take up golf again, (and why I left that game is a whole other post), I would go about my golfing education a bit differently. First, I would use the internet to conduct most of my research. Just a quick Google search of golf techniques today led me to a website run by Neil Haboush, who shares his thoughts on golf. Complete with pictures, Haboush explains wrist techniques and other points that explain how to golf. With so many resources now available online, I could re-learn golf, and hit the links. Now if only by sore back would allow me to swing better…
