Golf could be the only game where equipments aren t shared comfortably. Though it could be seen as overzealous individualism, there are several reasons besides such. Golf equipment, that would include golf balls and golf clubs, are the mark of the character. It not only speaks of his success of the green or on the green, it also correlates his playing style and playing strengths. And it also speaks of his vanity.

For instance when Tiger Woods reinvented the game of golf in 1996, Woods was known to carry his old True Temper Dynamic Gold steel-shafted clubs as the main clubs and various smaller steel club heads that provide more accuracy than distance. In the golfing parlance, this is

quite inferior equipment, especially on tee driving when other golf professionals predicted of inferior results. He resisted change of clubs. Yet, Tiger Woods biggest strength was his lengthy drive and those clubs only serve to give him more accuracy than power.

You’ve got your golf clubs, your 18-pack of golf balls, your bag, your shoes, even one of those fancy little electronic caddies. You’re as ready as Tiger Woods ever was when he stepped onto a golf course for the very first time. Maybe you’re a little taller and older than he was, but you know you’re just as ready. Suddenly, by the third hole, you’re beginning to wonder how much you can get for all that “barely-used” equipment.

If you’re having trouble with consistency and accuracy putting the ball in the same general spot you intended, each time you hit it then you might want to step off the course, grab a

Arnold Palmer, General of Arnie’s Army, was speaking of golf, but he could have been describing his own life when he said, “Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.” His sense of fairness, kindness toward everyone, and dry sense of humor have made him one of the most popular golfers to ever play the game. And he was pretty darned good at the game, too!

As a world-famous golfer, Arnold Palmer won a majority of his 92 championships on the U.S. PGA tour. The only “major” he never won was the PGA Championship, although he finished second in three of them. Probably most noted for being

the first pro to win four Masters Tournaments, it’s not surprising to find that he started playing golf at the ripe old age of four. He worked hard at developing his golf game throughout most of his life, and it shows with some of the prestigious awards he’s won including: the 1960 Hickok Professional Athlete of the Year, the 1960 Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year, and even Athlete of the Decade for the 1960s in a national Associated Press poll. The awards culminated in 2004 when President Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a ceremony at the White House.
