The Game of Golf

Dec 5, 2009 by Staff

During the Nineteenth century there were several significant improvements made to the tools used in the game of golf. The rubber ball, for instance, was invented in 1898 by Coburn Haskell. The ball featured a solid rubber center which was wrapped tightly by a very long rubber string. It was easily possible to hit this new style the ball an extra 15 yards from the tee. The previous style of golf balls had been made from heated tree sap and then molded into a ball shape.

In 1916 the PGA (Professional Golfer’s Association), was founded. This association oversees the major golf tours in the United States. In 1950 the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association), was founded and is today one of the most prominent golf tours in the world for women.

Today golf is enjoying a world wide level of popularity. Many people are drawn to the game because of its casual yet intense level of one on one competition between the players. The game offers spectators an opportunity to enjoy being outdoors and actually following along as the players’ progress from hole to hole. Golf courses offer a tribute to nature in a highly manicured and pristine fashion. The history of golf goes back many centuries, and the game is still being enjoyed by millions of fans to this day.
