The Evolution of Golf
Copyright 2006 Rob Daniels
The game of golf began its destiny in time towards becoming popular around the world. In 1744 the rules of Golf were put into writing for the first time ever. At this point in history, the first thirteen laws of golf were drawn up for an annual competition. The first documented record makes references to modern golf. It was during the mid to late 1800's that the game of golf really became world renowned.
It is said that there is no other sport as richly endowed with outstanding characters, incidents and locations as that of golf.
Since most golf equipment was handcrafted it was, therefore, quite expensive and golf was dominated by the wealthy. By the 1850s, newly created private clubs had hired "greenkeepers" to care for their golf courses. While the golf course superintendent profession has changed over time, it is still largely a combination of science and art.

Lingerie, Sore Knees, and Male Shoppers
At the top of the list of things that I most don't like to do, shopping has a hallowed spot. Granted, there are a couple of things that I would hate to do more, but my editors would have six strokes if I entered into dialogues about any of them here. Being respectful of their wishes, and also respectful of the fact that writing a column that no one would print is rather pointless, I'll move forward and get right to the point. I was forced into a shopping experience for a computer part today, and...
