Nowadays, it has come to be a sport that a lot of people have come to love to play and watch. There are a number of good reasons why lots and lots of people are now enjoying a game of golf and here are a few of them.

* It is a world known sport, definitely a game of competition. If you have not heard of Tiger Woods yet, then people must be wondering where you have been hiding yourself. Tiger Woods has made himself and golf a household name. And his is a story of determination and triumph when it comes to playing the game and achieving his goal of winning.

* Golf is definitely a sport where people compete in. It simply is not an activity where people stand around on the golf course while hitting balls and watching them get into holes. There are points to be earned and there are championships to be won. So if you are one athlete who want to be diverse and to try out different sports competition then you may want to do a little golf and find out if you can make a shot from that putt.

* Golf, a lot of players say, is one game of relaxation and is a definite stress reliever. Think about it, when playing a game of golf, you will be surrounded by greens. There are the green, green grass of the golf course which spans a lengthy and extensive area, then there are the luscious trees and perhaps a few brooks inside the course. Then of course, let us not forget that you get to hear the birds chirping their merry tunes in the background while the refreshing and cool air sways all around you in different breezy directions. There is no pollution, no noisy sounds of trucks or cars honking, no litter. It's just you and the ball and the beautiful golf course. It would be like playing in God's luscious garden.

* Golf can be good exercise. Remember the green, green golf course and its vastness? Do not think that this is exaggeration because it is not. The golf course is definitely wide and far-reaching and you will absolutely be doing a lot of walking to get from one point to another. A golf game usually starts from one point and ends on the other side so there would significantly be a lot of traveling from beginning to the final putt. There are golf carts that you can ride in to get to those various holes but if you want to keep fit and would like the exercise, then walking the course would be the thing to do. Just make sure you have your hats, your sunglasses and your umbrella. We would not want you to get sunstroke after all of that walking. And of course, do not forget to take a bottle of water to keep you hydrated.
