If one were to mention the greatest players in golf history, no list would be complete without mentioning Bobby Jones, arguably the greatest golfer to compete on a national and international level.

On record, Jones is still the only player ever to win golf’s elusive Grand Slam, which is winning all four major championships in the same year. Jones represented the United States in the Walker Cup five times and won nine of ten matches. He also won two other tournaments against professionals: the 1927 Southern Open and the 1930 Southeastern Open.

Arnold Palmer, General of Arnie’s Army, was speaking of golf, but he could have been describing his own life when he said, “Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.” His sense of fairness, kindness toward everyone, and dry sense of humor have made him one of the most popular golfers to ever play the game. And he was pretty darned good at the game, too!

As a world-famous golfer, Arnold Palmer won a majority of his 92 championships on the U.S. PGA tour. The only “major” he never won was the PGA Championship, although he finished second in three of them. Probably most noted for being

the first pro to win four Masters Tournaments, it’s not surprising to find that he started playing golf at the ripe old age of four. He worked hard at developing his golf game throughout most of his life, and it shows with some of the prestigious awards he’s won including: the 1960 Hickok Professional Athlete of the Year, the 1960 Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year, and even Athlete of the Decade for the 1960s in a national Associated Press poll. The awards culminated in 2004 when President Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a ceremony at the White House.

Golf is a genteel sport that has become a global passion, especially in the business world. Golf trophies carry the reward of instant fame and fortune. Golf tours of certain regions are avidly followed by fans worldwide, and toughly contested for. Legends like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have captured international attention.

Golf is a game where individuals or teams hit a ball into a hole using several clubs. It involves manipulating the ball with a club from the teeing ground to the hole with a series of strokes, according to certain rules. Golf is played on a tract of land called a course, which consists of a series of holes. A hole represents the distance between the tee

(the starting point) and the green (where the actual hole is). Most golf courses have 9 or 18 holes. Experienced players take fewer strokes to manipulate balls into the holes. Courses also have impediments like bunkers, sand traps and water hazards (like rivers or streams).
