Understanding the basics about the realtionship between golf and the player.

Golf is one of the most complex and challenging sports out there, it will bring the best and worst of the player’s mindset.

Some people have the idea that golf is a sport mostly for old men, some others have the idea that its an exclusive and reserved only for wealthy people, and a large number of people the only they know about golf is that has, as almost every sport, a public and controversial star named Tiger Woods.

In reality, it is true that golf is not yet a very accessible sport, although in my opinion should be, but besides all the ideas around the subject, it is a really challenging but fun game, I like to think about golf as the chess of open sports.

Golf is a sport that is played against others, yes, but mainly is played against the course and your skills.

Each game is played on a golf course with 18 holes, although has its shorter version with 9 holes, the main goal is to introduce a small ball in each hole with the less possible shots.

Each shot counts as a point, the player seeks the less possible points per round, and the golf course is designed to maximize the likelihood of missing and increasing the amount of shots.
