Today's post will be about golf! I don’t know about you, but some time ago I didn’t know that golf was considered a sport or even a part of the Olympics. I've always imagined golf as a form of leisure. So, if you don’t know how golf works (just like me), this post is perfect for you!
Let's start?
The word golf comes from the German kolbe, which means taco. It is considered an elite sport by most people (I’m included in it), since its origin is quite spectacular, and is more probable that was created by a slavery by work of 1400. However, in 1457, the Scottish parliament by order of the king Jaime II of Scotland, prohibited the practice by means of considerations on the interests of the country.
The historians who attribute the creation to the British, other than the Romans, French ... Well, there are many speculations about the real creator of this sport, but it is more accepted that the modality was actually created by the Scots.
The game
The golf can be played individually or in groups of two to four players, has as particularity the absence of an "adversary"; The only opponent of the golfer is the field itself, there is nothing that has no sense of difficulty or performance from other players. The result depends on your individual effort and luck. The golfer has to lower his total score in the field.
In official competitions, it is forbidden to talk to other players during the game. When the game is between friends, it is normal for the experienced golfer to give "tips" to the less experienced.
