Golf is a sport equated with rich, famous people who have all the time in the world on their hands. After all, a game of golf can last at least one whole afternoon, and can involve at least one person strolling lazily on the green or going around it in a golf cart – all while using a metal stick to push a ball into a hole, take the ball out, and push it into another hole. Golf, however, can be enjoyable to both play and watch, so if you are hoping to feed your love for the game, this golf tip collection is for you.

The first golf tip involves research. Know your golf history thoroughly, from its origins (the Scots, possibly even the Dutch or the Chinese) to its present day rules (governed by the Royal and Ancient Academy of St. Andrews, as well as the United States Golf Association).

Everyone is equal on the golf course. All players are subject to the agonies of a bad lie and a double bogey, and the ecstasy of a straight drive and successful birdie putt.

“Every rock’n’roll band I know, guys with long hair and tattoos, plays golf now.” – Alice Cooper, 47.
