“Golf is very simple: you hit the ball and then you look for it.”
Tom Watson, American champion
Tom Watson has made history in the 1970s and 1980s. He was considered as the world’s number one between 1978 and 1982.
About his quote: More you train and less you look for your ball ;)
Golf, a worldwide sport
With 90 million players, Golf is the most practiced individual sport in the world, with more than 437,000 licensed players in France in 2021, making it the 4th largest sport, with 800,000 regular players!
Actually, Golf is accessible to everyone regardless of age. The only difficulties come from the technique, the strategy and the knowledge in its own capacities.
Indeed, it is just a sport of ball throwing but it is still required to be in a good physical condition. Otherwise, it will be difficult to walk about 8km on a course of 18 holes.
A complex but wonderful sport
This is both the beauties and the complexities of this fine game, which is not always easy to understand for the layman, even though it is certainly one of the simplest sports activities. And I swear I do not overemphasize! I mean, what could be easier than throwing a ball from point A to point B with an improved metal stick?
The throw, called “swing” is a technical and complete movement, requiring qualities of coordination and precision. Don’t worry, I will have the opportunity to present it to you in more detail in a “learning golf” post.
Until this post is online, I let you admire the 4 pictures of professional golfers on the left and say see you soon for my next post! (In comment, try to guess about the next subject of my blog :D).
