GOLF

[Hugh]

Golf not a new topic as some how found its way under scuba diving where where its not likely to be found. I am hoping it will be seen and encourage any one looking in will join the PF. Golf is a sport for any age and ability. Golf rules have been changed to enable beginners to be able to compete against much better player.

The power of golf have changed the rules to allow beginners to compete. Maximum handicap was 28 which was far too hard for any beginner or elderly person like myself to compete. It is now 54 giving players up to 3 extra strikes of the ball each hole depending on the players ability. With these rules at my age of 82 years I should be able to compete, and win the odd game for several more years. I was 70+years when I got hooked on golf. If it wasn't for this sport I would be an home alone pensioners with a computer for company.

I took up golfing when I stopped playing cricket,just before I hit 40.27 years later, I am still playing.


It is a great game and you can find people you enjoy spending four hours with easily.
