The Challenge Of Understanding How To Learn To Play Golf

By Patty Goff


Many might assume that golf is very complicated, especially with all the terminology associated with it. Some may even be intimidated by the high cost that comes along with this sport. However, it is very popular and loved by people across the world. How to learn to play golf has become a common challenge for the sports fanatic that no longer wants to watch the sport, but become an active participant.

When learning about golf, it is so important to first learn the basics. Part of that is learning the object of the game. It is simply learning how to guide a ball with a clubbed instrument and hoping that it gets into each hole on a golf course, but in the correct order! Normally, there are either 9 or 18 holes that are played. The winner of the game is determined by tallying up the results after the last player puts the last ball into the last hole.

Any player that wants to know the ins and outs of this sport must definitely learn how to keep score. First of all, with this sport, don't seek to have a high number of points. The player that has less points usually wins. Every time a player swings and hits the ball, they earn a point. The key is to get the ball into the hole with as few strokes as possible.

Knowing certain terms such as "par, " is also key. Each hole has a number of points assigned to it known as par. Being "on par" means that the player has reached a certain point value. Other key terms to know are birdies, bogey, and hole in one.

It's also wise to know the course, which usually consists of five parts. One of them is the tee box, where players first start off. Next is the fairway which is often located in the middle of the green and tee box. Putting greens are holes in which each fairway is located. Whereas the rough is the less-groomed area, and hazards are places that players don't want their balls to end up in such as sand and water.

Knowing the clubs that will be used would also be a great advantage. There are many types of physical properties that are associated with different types of clubs. The three most common type of clubs are the wood, iron, and putter.

To perfect one's game, one must know how to stand properly. Knowing how to stand, where to stand, and the power of the swing is of utmost importance. Now it's time to play the game. All players start the game by hitting their balls out of the tee box in order to get the ball to the green or fairway. Each player takes turns in the starting order to get their balls in the hole.

Golfing is somewhat dangerous, so golfers should stand away from the fairway as the player swings as to not get hit by a soaring ball. Each player must tally their scores for one hole, and then move on to the next. Golf rounds can last anywhere from three to five hour.
