How golfs impacted on Australia Though people won’t know it golf has made quite a big impacted on Australia through sport, media and the Olympics. Australia was never very into golf, we didn’t have many aussie golfers playing in the PGA (Professional Golfers' Association) and none of them were winning anything. That was until 1947 when Peter Thomson turned professional. Thomson was a prolific tournament champion around the world, winning the national championships of ten countries (he won the New Zealand Open nine times).…
The sport golf is not a game of perfect and I not only chose to base my concept map off of golf because I like golf, but because things don’t always go as planned and the United States of America has hit many “bumps in the road” to get where we are today. My topics support the idea of the change in America because every single one of them altered America in a Permanente way that cannot be changed. Each one of the ways I chose also grew America in some unique way.…
Golf is a game played on a large open-air course, in which a small hard ball is struck with a club into a series of small holes in the ground. The object being to use the fewest possible strokes to complete the course. Golf began around 1457 when King James ll of Scotland banned Golf and football because he wanted people to focus on archery. The first major item you need to play golf is a golf ball. Some of the first golf balls were made entirely of hardwood, such as beech and box trees. These balls appeared during the 15th century and remained in use until the 17th century. Of course, a typical wooden golf ball would only last for a few games before it needed to be replaced. An alternative type of golf ball, known as a feathery, also appeared around the era of the wooden ball. A feathery was basically a leather pouch filled with chicken or goose feathers. Due to the extensive labor and materials required, a single feathery ball would often cost the modern-day equivalent of $10-$20. Today we now use many materials into making golf balls, but the majority can be broken down into three categories: rubbers, ionomers and urethanes. The second major item you need is a club. In the earliest days of golf, players initially carved their own clubs from wood. They soon turned to skilled craftsmen to produce competitive equipment. Club heads were made from tough wood such as beech, holly, pear and apple. Shafts were made from ash or hazel. The head was connected to the shaft using a splint and…

About two years ago, I made the decision that I wanted to play golf. Most people consider it one of the easiest sports to play. I can see why. I don’t have to run or really do anything athletic however, the hardest thing about golf is overcoming the mental aspect. The mental aspect of playing golf has made a noticeable impact not only in my game, but in my everyday life as well. This was not something that happened overnight. I still struggle with it today. I used to be extremely negative and hard on myself to the point that I had a difficult time letting myself just play. I was so criticizing toward myself that I didn't even want to continue to play. I needed to learn to let some things go, whether it be a bad shot or a bad hole. I had to…
