Who Invented The Game Of Golf? -- Well, who actually did invent the game of Golf? The question has been asked and argued for many years with no true winner. Many countries have a valid claim to an early game that resembles the game of golf.
The Impact of Female Golfers -- Along with the new century has come a noticeable surge in the popularity of womens golf. The number of both professional and amateur female golfers has risen sharply. This means the face of golf is changing in dramatic fashion, as golf is rapidly shedding its reputation as an "old boys' game."
Private Club, Public Concerns: Women at Augusta -- The privileged few in society born with silver spoons in their mouths and accustomed to most of life's offerings being handed to them on a platter are rarely coerced into doing what goes against their wishes. Since attempting to treat them like regular folk with accountability to others tends to be futile, such attempts are rarely made.
Confusion Feeds the Golf Industry -- Here's a news flash for you! If you have been in a coma or have spent the last half century on Neptune, you should know that the golf industry is now a multibillion dollar a year business.
Female athletes in pursuit of greatness -- Annika Sorenstam's attempt to compete with the boys at golf was an interesting sociological event. Not that much was really at stake. Annika had much to gain and very little to lose. If she did not fare well (which is what happened at the Colonial Country Club after a fairly promising start that faded into a disappointing finish), her reputation as a great female golfer would remain intact.
The Most Underrated Golfer in History -- Buffalo Bill was introduced to golf by his father at age 5 and started his PGA Tour career in 1955 at the age of 24, which could be considered a late start compared to today's standards. Even with this late start he ended up with 51 wins on the PGA Tour, 6th on the all time win list. Included in those 51 victories are two U.S Opens and one Masters. He also has won nine Senior Tour Championships including two Senior Majors, one of them the USGA Senior Open in 1983.
Tiger Woods, the Greatest ever? NOT!! -- Tiger is great but still a long way from claiming the title of "Greatest That Ever Played The Game". Although I do believe he is more then on his way to claiming that illustrious title, God willing. But until then, Slammin' Sammy Snead is my pick. That's right, not even Nicklaus.

Will My Golf Ball Choice Improve My Game? -- Choosing the right type of golf balls can make the difference between a bad game and a great game. And if you think that all you need to do is use the same type of balls that Tiger Woods uses, you may be in for a surprise. When it comes to golf balls you need to choose the right types of balls for you. When you choose the wrong golf ball you may be adding a handicap to your game that you can avoid by playing with the right balls.
Women's Golf Equality -- Women have been trying for years to be viewed as equal competition for men, especially in sports. Unfortunately, society fails to measure women's abilities on the same scale as men's abilities. Golf is one of few sports that show great potential for women and men to compete on the same level. Recently, there have been many developments in the world of women's golf.
