The online golf store is quickly becoming popular among golf enthusiasts. With a simple Web search, the golf fan will find all manner of clubs, balls, bags, shoes, tees and other equipment as well as paraphernalia from large multinational golf outfitters and smaller specialists.

Many of the largest brand names in golf have begun to set up shop on the Internet as well. Companies such as Callaway, Mizuno, Nike and the like all have begun to put their own direct online golf store functions on their sites. With an estimated 108,096,000 Internet users in North America as of 2008, an online presence makes it possible for them to reach that massive potential audience.

The Internet has also leveled the playing field for smaller golf suppliers and retailers. The increased exposure helps them market their wares to people who may not have otherwise heard of them. Internet forums and discussion boards also give Internet users the opportunity to tell one another about where to find the most sophisticated and innovative golfing supplies at the best prices online.

There are also many websites that feature the growing golf equipment aftermarket. More and more golfers are opting to sell their old golfing gear for beginners to make use of. Many of these transactions take place completely online, with some websites even allowing live auctions.

Golf is an interesting sport in which the player uses many types of clubs like irons, putters or drivers to hit a ball into the holes in golf course. Many people believe that the sport originated in Scotland in the12th century. However, there are many debates about the history of golf. Some scholars claim that the sport was invented by ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. In Chinese records, there is a reference about a sport, which involves driving a ball with a stick into holes in the ground.

A Chinese Professor named Ling Hongling argues that only Mongols in 12th or 13th century brought the sport to Europe. However, modern golf had its origin in Scotland only. The Scots started playing the game with some rules in the middle of 15th century. King James of Scotland issued a ban on the game in the year 1457. His successors re-issued the ban in 1471 and 1491. The golf history shows that despite the ban, the game continued to flourish in Scotland. The rules of golf were first written in Edinburgh in the year 1744.

Golf is rich in history:

The first golf club was formed in Scotland and the first golf course was established with 18 holes. The tournaments were arranged between different cities in Scotland. Gradually the game spread to England. The oldest golf course is the Musselburg old links golf course. The golf course has links with the glorious history of golf.

Are you planning on taking your family along so that they unwind snorkeling and whale watching while you relax with your game of golf at picturesque courses? Maui, an island of Hawaii, is the place for you.  This volcanic island has some very interesting golf courses ranging from the championship courses to the resort variety where golf can be fun or more than a challenge.

The North Royal Kaanapali course is an excellent example where you and your family can both have a good time. Located a short distance from the popular town Lahaina, this is a par-71 Robert Trent Sr. designed course. Terrain which is a few hundred feet to sea level gives you an overall island view. Your better half and children can head to the famous Blackrock snorkeling site, or just stroll along the wharf lined with shops and hotels for some lazy fun.

If you want a feel of the tropics then it has to be the Kapalua Bay Course. This is a 6600 yard Arnold Palmer creation. There are views of the coast, ocean breezes for some challenge at the 4th hole and even a view of the neighboring Molokai Island.  If serious golfing is your cup of tea then go to the Kapalua Plantation course.
