Here's a basic lesson in golf for the person who
has no idea about the game
Golf is played on an eighteen holes, each hole
has its "peer", which is the number of tee shots
(label), shots on the fairway, chips (short hits you
approach the green), and rolled.
The even number is based on the length and difficulty
hole. Pars range of 3 to 6. If you get the
ball in the hole with five shots on five holes, you
"made by. If you took six shots, it's called a
truck, if you did it in four is a birdie.
There are usually "hazards" of some sort on all
holes. Lakes, sand traps, and trees are
strategically placed to make the hole more
difficult. The junior golfers must try to find
course to play that are easier to play with less
dangers.
Each player keeps his own score, marking the number
the total number of strokes for each hole. In the end,
each person adds their scores the lowest number is the
winner.

themselves too seriously. It takes time to get

develop a good swing and help you make a good
start.

features. There are big bags, big bags and bags so
big that they would keep everything I need for a long
weekend vacation in one of the side pockets!

take your clubs, extra balls, your glove, tees, car
keys, extra pencils, ball markers, a ball collector,
sunscreen, a windbreaker and a large umbrella.
It is also a good idea to have a packet of tissues,
Band-Aid or two, and if you play courses where insects
are a problem, a can of insect repellent comes in very
handy.
A small packet of baby wipes come in very handy in your
bag they get warmed by the heat, but when you get
sweat or a sand trap covered you with sand, a beautiful
dry heat can be very refreshing.
I happen to be allergic to bees, wasps and hornets, so
my Epipen is an important addition to my bag. I am
also hypoglycemic so I keep rescuers, who must
be replaced several times throughout the year due
they tend to melt.
One point that need not be in your golf bag is
your cell phone. If you must wear it, turn off the
ringer as a courtesy to other players. If you must use
it, be aware of other people who could take a swing or
putting their ball. Be careful!

everything you need, even in an emergency minor
(like a bulb) or a disadvantage, as
sudden downpour. Being prepared makes the game a
process much more fun.
