Can you imagine what the people that came up with golf at St. Andrews would think of about it now ?
Some might get down right sick to their stomachs, others would be insanely jealous. The jealous one's want all of our high tech clubs and golf balls and the one's that are sick of us, would hate the fact that we changed the game for ever. But with changed equipment has come changed golf courses that are much harder than the original St. Andrews Golf Course.
The original golfers had no quality equipment of any kind they didn't even have a golf ball yet. Their clubs were nothing but wood, basically a stick with flat end on it. The balls they used could barely even be called a ball, no where near round or perfect like we have today. To think we complain every time we scratch a ball by hitting a cart path or something, and they played very well with what they had.
In the last 20 years golf has changed dramatically, from the equipment, to the players and fans. The clubs have added a tremendous amount of distance to a player's game and today's golf balls are scientifically engineered to help with spin, bounce, and distance as well. The overall sport has taken off all over the world, kids are playing in high schools, and colleges, and ticket sales for PGA events are often sold out. Most course you visit are full and it's getting harder to get a tee time places.
Not only has the equipment to play the game advanced, but practice equipment and training aids have improved too. Every part of the game has it's own focus, from your grip and stance to your swing. All these advantages we have now are the things that history's golfers would love and hate.
By improving the equipment, have we made the game easier ? 'NO
Bobby Jones said it best; 'Golf is played in the five inches in between you ears.' So golf will never get easier, it will always be our head games that make it so hard. There are books, audio books, and all types of other training aids to try and help your 'mental golf game'. Some of these things will work for some, but others will need to just keep practicing until their confidence comes around and your thinking less and just swinging more.
Golf is a game to bring families and friends together, offering a day outing to bond and learn about each other. Being out in nature playing a round of golf with the people you love hasn't changed since the first rounds at St. Andrews. For more information on golf see here: http://www.tydaniels.com/ |
