Golf Golf Golf, What else?

Golf is a game of class and elegance. Initially golf was played at Bruntsfield Links in Edinburgh, Scotland, in AD 1456. It was a sport of the royals and high-class society. Gradually, the modern game of golf spread from Scotland to England and has now become a worldwide game, with golf courses in almost all the countries.

Golf is one of the few ball games that do not use a standardized playing area. It is played on a long stretch of land that is commonly known as golf “courses”. In a golf course, you will find either 9 or 18 holes designed in a typical style. With such world famous golf player like Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh, the sport is becoming all the more famous and attractive.

There are some alternative ways to play golf that has been gradually introduced such as miniature golf, sholf and disc golf. Golf has increasingly become a spectator game, with several different levels of professional and amateur tours in various parts of the world. Such professional golfers like Jack Nicklaus, Lorena Ochoa and Annika Sorenstam have become well recognized sports figures in the world. Golf has also found a place in the Olympics Games.

Tiger Woods Lost to Tim Clark In Accenture Golf Match

Tiger Woods lost.Unbelievable. Those are three words you almost never hear about Tiger Woods.But Tim Clark shot 6-under through 16 holes, Tiger didn't strike his irons well and he lost.

It's not a crushing blow for Woods' return, obviously, but it does quickly remind us that he is indeed human. And it takes a little excitement out of the remaining matches in the tournament.

But that shouldn't be surprising: Tiger Woods means more to golf than any other individual athlete means to their respective sport.

It was odd, though to hear Tiger tell Kelly Tilghman that he "hit the ball well," because, frankly, he didn't. He didn't play that poorly, and his driver was decent, but you could tell there was plenty of rust covering his game, particularly with his irons.

And that was a large part of the difference against an opponent like Clark, who found fairways and greens, made birdies, and, as Tiger pointed out, "grinded" his way to a win.

Tiger wants to make sure he's in peak physical condition for the Masters, when he'll really need to deal with four straight days of intense physical and mental strain.

Tiger Woods comments on victory of Barack Obama

News: USA Today has just reported on Sunday what appears to be Tiger Woods's first public comments on Barack Obama's historic victory on Tuesday. The comments were made on Saturday -- so The Golf Blog is very sorry for the last post suggesting that Tiger had not yet commented on the Election (it had just not been published at the time of our post).

Here's what the USA Today reports:

"It will be one of the great days in America to see a man of color in the White House." Woods said Obama's victory pleased him and it would have pleased his father, the late Earl Woods, who was a retired Army officer.

"My father hoped he would see a man of color elected president in his lifetime," Woods said. "He didn't see it, but I hoped that I would see it."
