Ok, I am not going to give you advice and course recommendations, what equipment you need or when you should play golf. All I can tell you is start saving your money. This is an expensive past time. Things you need to think about. When is it too hot to play golf. Get out early in the morning. When I play golf I’ve made a personal rule; at 90 degrees, I take a cart. At that mark, I’ve decided, it’s too hot to walk. However, I’ve never set a mark where it’s just too hot to golf at all. Though I may have reached that point this summer. It has been hotter than I can remember.
Golf has longevity. We do have a reference to the sport as early as 1457 in a Scottish Acts of Parliament [the authorities wanted to ban golf as it was taking time away from archery practice, a much more needed skill to defend the Highlands]. In those days players would attempt to hit a pebble over sand dunes and around tracks using a bent slick or club. Golf’s first major, and the world’s oldest tournament in existence, is The Open Championship, also known as the British Open, which was first played in 1860 at the Prestwick Golf Club in Ayrshire, Scotland. This is one of the four major championships in men’s professional golf, the other three being played in the United States: The Masters, the U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship.
Most of us just enjoy to play the game of golf as we will never make it to the championships. However, we do like those famous golf courses by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
