Golf

The four majors (for men's golf) are:

The Masters, which is run by Augusta National Golf Club, and played in April

The US Open, which is run by the USGA and is played in June

The Open Championship (often called the British Open in the US), which is run by the R&A and played in July, and

The PGA, which is run by the PGA and played in August.

Note that the PGA is the old PGA, the one that is now basically the association of club pros and teachers, not the PGA Tour, which is the touring professional players.

There's no authoritative committee that decides what's a major. These are the championships that have established a sufficient reputation to stand out from the rest. Things that go into major status are strength of field, prize money, qualification for subsequent events, and public recognition. Players don't stay home from majors unless they have to. Nobody misses the British Open to rest up for the Quad Cities, er, John Deere.

The PGA Tour would very much like to run its own major championship, and often hints that the Player's Championship (now in May) should be considered a major. If it were, there would be a major-a-month from April to August, which is probably too many.

At first look, one would think that sectioning off acres upon acres of land to keep the concrete jungle from growing into it would be a good thing. However, the natural grass is usually replaced with grass specially grown for golf. This decreases the naturalness of the environment. Trees are cut down to make fairways, bushes are removed, ponds are dug, and the vegetation is largely kept from getting too large. This decreases animal habitats and the wildlife of the area. Finally, pesticides used to rid the course of certain insects seeps into the ground which gets into the natural matter underground, thus poisoning it. Fertilizers get into the water system, causing toxic algae blooms.

This would be a very rare happening. It does happen though, especially when two really good players are playing at the same time.

Well it depends on weather, course conditions and how far he wants to hit it. His normal seven iron apparently goes 172 yards, but he could easily control the shot and hit it between 150 and 200 yards.

Tiger Woods

The first shot on a par three, just like the first shot on any hole is called the tee shot. There is no special name for it.

There have been 6 hole in ones at the Ryder Cup, Peter Butler '73, Nick Faldo '93, Costantino Rocca '95, Howard Clark '95, Paul Casey '06 and Scott Verplank '06.

Many golf tournaments are held in April, but the most famous tournament is the Masters, held in Augusta, Georgia. The four "major" golf tournaments are the Open, the US Open, the Masters, and the PGA Championship.

If you win a PGA Tour event as an amateur you receive a two year tour card and full membership for the rest of the current season. However, the player must turn professional to take up membership. They do not receive the prize money if they win as an amateur.

It is simply a type of steel golf shaft. Before the project x shafts came out, the True Temper dynamic gold was probably the most popular shaft on the market. If you buy a wedge the likelihood is it will have a TT dynamic gold in it.

Golf holes are measured from the middle of the tee-box, down the middle of the fairway, to the center of the green. So if a par 4, for instance, had a curve or dogleg in the fairway, the distance as stated above would be longer than measuring a hole "as the crow flies" or from the tee-box directly to the center of the green. Par three holes usually don't have fairways per say, so they are measured as the crow flies since they are designed to be completed in one full shot and two putts.

First of all, Japanese do not golf!

It depends what clubs you are comfortable with, and what length of course you are playing on. If it is a long course, driver, 5 iron, wedge and putter. If it is a mid range course, 3 wood, 6 iron, wedge and putter. And if it is a short course, hybrid, 7 iron, wedge and putter.

It is usually called a basket. the technical name is the disc pole hole, invented by the "Father of Disc Golf", "Steady Ed" Headric.

Two 1951 and 1953.

For definite I would suggest a 5,6,7,8 and 9 iron. These have a good bit of loft and are easy to hit. You can also have a 2,3 and 4 iron but some players favour hybrids as they are designed to be very forgiving, and are easy to hit.

Wedges are similar to irons so you can have a pitching wedge, a sand wedge, gap wedge and lob wedge. But do not exceed 14 clubs.

no is what most people think, but you have a one stroke penalty if you do.

Golf wedges can be purchased at many golf shops such as Golf Town and Golf Plus Stores. One can also purchase them online at Amazon and Overstock. Many golf courses sell clubs, wedges and putters as well.

accordig to USGA rules 18 inches to 48 inches Max, (excluding a putter). I personally have a 460cc headed driver the preferable length of a 3 wood. Want to turn heads of your friends in your foursome , take your 460cc head driver customized to 3 wood length, with a low spin 2 piece distance ball...and boom it 270 off the first tee ...it will set the tone for the day....The closest thing I will ever feel like Tiger Woods, is to have my starter tell me best drive I've seen in a long time....Hope that helps.
