Do You Really Know All There Is To Know About Golf Carts

Isn’t it tiring when you have to walk around that enormous 18-hole golf course every weekend? It certainly is for most elderly folk, but guess what? You don’t have to walk everywhere, why not buy yourself a personal golf cart to travel around the course on. It’s almost a certainty to say that it will inevitably improve you game in time due to the fact that you will have more energy to play with.

Nowadays, golf carts come in so many varieties, and they are even used generally for other purposes to transport small number of passengers between short distances at slow speeds like at airport terminals.

How important are golf carts while playing golf?

The simple answer is very! Especially for elderly people who don’t have the energy to be walk the whole distance around an 18 hole golf course. This is just one of the benefits of golf carts. The second is that they speed up the time it takes to play a round of golf. The question still remains however, is using a golf cart taking away everything we associate with this wonderful game. On the professional circuit, players are not allowed to use golf carts because the PGA believes that walking is an important part of golf and in order to preserve the heritage of golf players must walk between shots. With this all said however, they are very beneficial for lots of players

Many golfers these days are buying their own golf carts, some even custom made. Most members’ only golf courses have a place where people can store their golf carts when they are not playing.

Not stopping there, these golf carts are widely used as an official form of transport by many people around their neighborhood and to shop around. Even college children are driving these small vehicles to school and college.

It’s easy to buy golf carts these days since there are so many distributors out there in the market. In fact you can actually buy them from the internet, new and used. The average cost of a brand new golf cart is around $1500, depending on the make. If you were to buy a second hand golf cart you would pay much less and this option is much more advised.

A golf cart is also far cheaper than a car to maintain and repair. This is the main reason why many people are going for this vehicle, especially college and university students, and not just the golfers.

Moreover, just like car, a golf cart is also modifiable. Some posh golfers like their carts to look classic, while some others want them contemporary, and such modifications are pretty affordable as well.

Once you have purchased your own golf cart, you have the option of customizing it with extra features, including a paint job, side mirrors, new seats and many more accessories. Most people try to customize their carts in a way that best resembles their personalities. If you don’t believe, then next time you’re out on the course, take a closer look at every golf cart that goes by.

A History of Golf

What country invented ?golf?’ Many countries did. If there were sticks and objects that could be hurtled along, then there was ?golf.’ No one knows for certain who started golf. But everybody knows who plays it now ? everyone does.

The origin of the name ?golf’ is believed to be the Dutch word of ‘colf,’ which means ‘club.’ In the medieval ages, golf was also known as “spel metten colve,’ which literally meant ‘game with clubs.’

Nearly every area around the world has some claim to the origination of golf. Scotland, of course, has its claim. But so do China, Rome, England, France, Holland, Belgium, even Laos. Every country has a game consisting of sticks and balls, and every country is correct in its assumption that it invented the game. But there is no one country where ?golf’ actually began.

Still, Scotland is widely considered to be birthplace of golf. And it began haphazardly, a way of hitting a pebble or other roundish object into a hole by means of a stick or club.

Edinburgh, Scotland, claimed the first golfing society. The Gentlemen Golfers – later known as the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers and today in residence at Muirfield – claim their club was already under way in 1744.

The first inter-Scotland club matches were played in 1857. The world would wait until 1860 for the first British Open to be played.

The British Open was being played 35 years before the U.S. Open. It has been called “The World Open.” Players from around the globe participate, as they have for a century or more. The British Open is all-inclusive. The U.S. Open has been moving in that direction for the last decade. But the British Open has been accepting a cast from around the world since the turn of the century.

It is not known for certain when golf came to America ? only that when it got a toehold in the 20th century, America became the world leader in great players. By 1900, the explosion of the game in America was complete. Proof was that, at the turn of the century, there were more golf clubs in the United States than there were in Britain.

Tiger Woods came upon the scene in 1996. He won eight times in 1999, nine times in 2000, and won the four major championships in succession in 2000-2001, starting with the U.S. Open in 2000. Should his career be as successful in his 30s and 40s as it has been in his 20s, he will assume the mantle of “best player ever.”

Women have played a very large part in the history of golf, even before the last half of the 20th century when they finally achieved equality with men. Records of ladies playing golf exist all the way back to the time of Mary Queen of Scots.

“The Majors” of Professional Golf

The Masters Tournament, the U.S. Open, the Open Championship, and the PGA Championship are the four most prestigious, most competitive, most challenging, and most rewarding championships in professional golf and are often simply referred to as “the majors”.

The Masters Tournament is scheduled for the first full week in April and is the first of the four major tournaments.  The Masters is held at the same location each year, at Augusta National Golf Club, a private golf club located in the city of Augusta, Georgia.  It is an invitational event, which means that the number of players is smaller than those of the other major championships.  Entry into the event is controlled by the Augusta National Golf Club.  Each year a green jacket is awarded to the winner of the Masters Tournament and it must be returned to the club house a year later.  Angel Cabrera is the champion of the 2009 Masters Tournament.

This years champion is Lucas Glover.

Third of the tournaments is the Open Championship, often referred to as the British Open, and is the oldest of the four major championships.  It is held on the weekend of the third Friday in July.  It is held on one of nine historic courses in Scotland or England.  The Open features a four hole playoff for all golfers tied at the end of regulation play.  The prize money for the Open was historically the least, yet since 2002 it has actually been the highest.  The 2009 Open will be held July 16-19 at the Ailsa course at Turnberry in England.

Last but not least, the fourth and final championship is the PGA Championship.  The last of the series, it has been nicknames “Glory’s Last Shot”.  Winning the PGA gives a golfer privileges that greatly improve and secure your career, like automatically being invited to play in the other three major championships for the next five years and being exempt from qualifying for the PGA Championship for life.  The purse for winning the 2008 event was $7.5 million.  The 2009 PGA Championship will be held August 10-16 at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.
