What is on a Typical Golf Course? by Conrad Black

There are many reasons to take up golf. It is a hugely user-friendly sport which can be played by everybody. It is no longer the game of the elite, with only the gentry turning up ahead of breakfast to take part in a quick 18. Today there are courses provided by regional governments that do not require you to shell out ridiculous fees, just a small fee each time you play a round.

An additional reason is that the equipment required to play golf has become much more inexpensive. Sure, there are still professional quality clubs, balls and shoes which sell for professional money, but there is now a vast selection of products aimed at the golfer who wants to try out the game, and discover without being financially crippled in the mean time.

If you need more evidence then you only have to look at the exercise you will get. Not only does the physical striking of the ball take effort, so does the walking from shot to shot. There are many, many yards to walk on a golf course, and this provides superb cardio vascular exercise, while the physical act of striking the ball can provide you with a useful muscular workout, especially around your back and arm areas.

Golf is also a very social game, one which can be played among friends, and certainly one where you can make contacts. It is competitive, but you will continually be able to learn from your golfing partners, and in selected forms of the game you have to work as a team, so it promotes a sense of teamwork too.
Lastly, golf is addictive! Once you start golfing, you might find it becomes a bit of a passion. With so many aspects, both physical and mental being part of the game, it is often hard to remember how your time was filled before you started playing! Because of the nature of the game, it encompasses age groups from kids to grandparents, and everyone in between.

If you are considering taking up a additional sport, give golf a try. Everyone seems to know someone who plays, so just try it out - or visit your local driving range and hit a few balls and see how it feels. Be cautious though, those greens will keep calling you back!
