My first time on a golf course was spending an afternoon watching friends hitting golf balls. I was appointed as the golf cart driver while they were playing. It seems that beer and golf go well together and since I was not drinking I was selected as the driver. They all wore golf shoes. Each golfer had their own equipment (golf bag) to carry their clubs, extra golf balls, gloves and tees. Before starting their round of golf, they went to the driving range to practice with various golf clubs and a putter. It was a fun experience. I was hooked that day and have enjoyed playing golf ever since.
Modern day technology is a major factor in the number of people playing golf today. The golf equipment manufacturers today have made tremendous improvements in the playability of today's golf clubs from drivers, irons, putters to balls. They now include graphite shafts and utility clubs known as hybrids. They are a cross between fairway woods and irons. These changes along with softer golf balls combined to help everyone play better.
My wife and I started playing golf after we were in our fifties. Golf is such a tremendous game. One of the greatest things about it is you can play at any age and still enjoy the game. We are now in our seventies and have a great time together. There are not a lot of things you can do together at our age, but we look forward to playing as long as our health remains good. We are looking forward to our next round of golf.
