What is Golf?
Golf is a precision
club and ball sport, in which competing players (or golfers) use many types of
clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a golf course using the fewest
number of strokes. Golf is defined, in the rules of golf, as "playing a
ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive
strokes in accordance with the Rules."

It is one of the few
ball games that does not require a standardized playing area. Instead, the game
is played on a "course", generally consisting of an arranged
progression of either 9 or 18 "holes". Each hole on the course must
contain a "tee box" and a "putting green" with the actual
hole, and there are various other standardized forms of terrain in between such
as the fairway, rough, and hazards, but each hole on a course and indeed among
virtually all courses is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.

Golfing can be one of the best spots and most frustrating!
My sister and I fortunate to each have sons who are
professional golfers. Her son, Randy
travel’s the PGA tour selling golf equipment and my son Warren teaches golf and
helps run a Pro shop in Seattle. Pretty
cool! She spent years helping young golfers through Junior Golf.

Family golf is a wonderful way to opportunity to share
and enjoy memories and outings and something the entire family can do for
years. So go ahead, take a vacation to one of the many family friendly golf resorts and have a blast!
