  Golf is a sport in which a player, using many types of clubs including a driver, a putter, and irons, hits a ball into each hole on a golf course in the lowest possible number of strokes. Golf is one of the few ball games that does not use a standardized playing area; rather, the game is played on golf "courses", each one of which has a unique design and typically consists of either 9 or 18 holes. Golf is defined in the Rules of Golf as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the RulesA golf ball next to a hole.The first game of golf for which records survive was played at Bruntsfield Links, in Edinburgh, Scotland, in A.D. 1456, recorded in the archives of the Edinburgh Burgess Golfing Society, now The Royal Burgess Golfing Society. The modern game of golf spread from Scotland to England and has now become a worldwide game, with golf courses in the majority of countries.Golf competition may be played as stroke play, in which the individual with the lowest number of strokes is declared the winner, stableford points play (as devised in 1931 by Dr. Frank Stableford of the Wallasey & Royal Liverpool Golf Clubs), in which the individual with the highest points score is declared the winner, or as match play with the winner determined by whichever individual or team posts the lower score on the most individual holes during a complete round. In addition, team events such as fourball have been introduced, and these can be played using either the stroke, stableford or matchplay format. Alternative ways to play golf have also been introduced, such as miniature golf, sholf and disc golf.Golf has increasingly turned into a spectator game, with several different levels of professional and amateur tours in many regions of the world. People such as Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Lorena Ochoa, Pádraig Harrington and Annika Sörenstam have become well-recognized sports figures across the world. Sponsorship has also become a huge part of the game and players often earn more from their sponsorship contracts than they do from the game itself.Golf is a game the exact origins of which are unclear. The origin of golf is open to debate as to being Dutch[3] or Scottish. However, the most accepted golf history theory is that golf as practised today originated from Scotland in the 1100s.[4]Scholars have claimed references to a form of golf from hieroglyphs found on stone tablets dating to ancient Egyptian Pharoahs. A game somewhat similar to golf was first mentioned in Dōngxuān Records (Chinese: 東軒錄), a Chinese book of 11th century. It was also mentioned on 26 February 1297 in the Netherlands in a city called Loenen aan de Vecht. Here the Dutch played a game with a stick and leather ball. Whoever hit the ball into a target several hundreds of meters away the least number of times, won.Modern golf is considered to be a Scottish invention,as the game was mentioned in two 15th century laws prohibiting the playing of the game of gowf. Some scholars have suggested that this refers to another game which is more akin to modern shinty, hurling or field hockey than golf. A game of putting a small ball into a hole in the ground using clubs was played in 17th century Netherlands. Flourishing trade over the North Sea during the Middle Ages and early Modern Period led to much language interaction between Scots, Dutch) and other languages. There are also reports of even earlier accounts of a golf like game from continental Europe.However, these earlier games are more accurately viewed as ancestors of the game we call golf, as the fact remains that the modern game of golf we understand today originated and developed in Scotland: The first golf club memberships were formed in Scotland. The earliest permanent golf course originated there too, as did the very first written rules, as did the establishment of the 18-hole course. The first formalized tournament structures also emerged there and competitions were arranged between different Scottish cities. Over time, the modern game spread to England and from there to the rest of the world. The oldest playing golf course in the world is The Musselburgh Old Links Golf Course. Evidence has shown that golf was played here in 1672 although Mary, Queen of Scots reputedly played there in 1567.As stated, golf courses have not always had eighteen holes. The St Andrews Links occupy a narrow strip of land along the sea. As early as the 15th century, golfers at St Andrews, in Fife, established a customary route through the undulating terrain, playing to holes whose locations were dictated by topography. The course that emerged featured eleven holes, laid out end to end from the clubhouse to the far end of the property. One played the holes out, turned around, and played the holes in, for a total of 22 holes. In 1764, several of the holes were deemed too short, and were therefore combined. The number was thereby reduced from 11 to nine, so that a complete round of the links comprised 18 holes. Due to the status of St Andrews as the golf capital, all other courses chose to follow suit and the 18-hole course remains the standard today.The major changes in equipment since the 19th century have been better mowers, especially for the greens, better golf ball designs, using rubber and man-made materials since about 1900, and the introduction of the metal shaft beginning in the 1930s. Also in the 1930s the wooden golf tee was invented. In the 1970s the use of steel and then titanium to replace wood heads began, and shafts made of "graphite" (also known as carbon fiber) were introduced in the 1980s. Though wooden tees are still most popular, various designs of plastic tees have been developed in recent years, and the synthetic materials composing the modern ball continue to be developed.Golf balls are famous for "dimples". These small dips in the surface of the golf ball decrease aerodynamic drag which allows the ball to fly farther. Golf is also famous for the use of flags. These show the position of the hole to players when they make their first drive and are too far away from the hole to aim accurately. When all players in a group are within putting distance, the flag is removed by a "caddy" or a fellow competitor to allow for easier access to the hole.World popularityIn 2005 Golf Digest calculated that there were nearly 32,000 golf courses in the world, approximately half of them in the United States. The countries with most golf courses in relation to population, starting with the best endowed were: Scotland, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Canada, Wales, United States, Sweden, and England (countries with fewer than 500,000 people were excluded). Apart from Sweden, all of these countries have English as the majority language, but the number of courses in new territories is increasing rapidly. For example the first golf course in the People's Republic of China opened in the mid-1980s, but by 2005 there were 200 courses in that country.The professional sport was initially dominated by Scottish then English golfers, but since World War I, America has produced the greatest quantity of leading professionals. Other Commonwealth countries such as Australia and South Africa are also traditional powers in the sport. Since around the 1970s, Japan, Scandinavian and other Western European countries have produced leading players on a regular basis. The number of countries with high-class professionals continues to increase steadily, especially in East Asia. South Korea is notably strong in women's golf.[11]The last decade or so has seen a marked increase in specialised golf vacations or holidays worldwide. This demand for travel which is centered around golf has led to the development of luxury resorts which cater to golfers and feature integrated golf courses.In the United States, the number of people who play golf 25 times or more per year fell from 6.9 million in 2000 to 4.6 million in 2005, according to the National Golf Foundation. The Foundation reported a smaller decline in the number who played golf at all; it fell from 30 million to 26 million over the same period..alıntı

 The game of golf is played with a golf ball and a set of clubs. Several types of golf clubs are used to play a golf course, depending on distance and situational requirements. A player may use no more than 14 different golf clubs during a golf tournament. Early golf clubs were made from wood, but stronger golf club materials and improved designs emerged as harder golf balls were developed. Today's golf club heads and shafts are made from a combination of steel, graphite, titanium, and various alloys. As golf players continually seek an extra performance edge, golf club designers continue to develop clubs which claim improved stroke accuracy and flight distance. Competition among golf club manufacturers is intense and has resulted in discount golf clubs becoming widely available. A set of golf clubs consists of woods and irons with varying shaft lengths and clubface angles, plus a putter. A golf club's shaft length and clubface angle affects the distance and height of the golf ball's flight trajectory. In order to deal with the range of situations encountered on the golf course, most players have eight to ten irons, three to five woods, and a putter. Woods are designed for long-distance strokes. The 1-wood is called a driver and is normally used for tee shots. All other woods are used on the golf course fairway. Irons are designed for approaches to the green. Special types of irons, called wedges, are designed to hit the ball high and short, and are used for a variety of special situations near the putting green. Putters are designed to roll the golf ball, and are most often used on the putting green. The straight, full clubface of a putter helps to aim putting shots accurately.

 Golf is a particularly interesting sport, as no two courses are the same. While other games are played in a standard setting, golf courses vary greatly depending upon their natural surroundings. However, here are some generalizations regarding golf courses. The starting point for each hole is called the teeing ground, or simply "tee". Tee markers designate the starting point for the hole. You'll see between three and five color-coded tee markers at most golf courses. The colors designate the difficulty of the starting point. The goal is to hit the ball from the tee to the fairway. The fairway is the part of the hole with short grass and fewer obstacles, and it often offers the shortest route to the hole. The rough is the area bordering the fairway, and is not the most ideal place for the ball to land. The grass in the rough is usually longer than that on the fairway, and you'll also encounter obstacles such as bunkers, water hazards, trees, bushes, or mounds. Bunkers, also known as sand traps, are man-made obstacles designed to test a golfer's skill. Bunkers with a grass base are called grass bunkers. Water hazards are bodies of water that are located on the course. Depending upon the location of the golf course, these can take the form of oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, or marshes. They are marked with red or yellow stakes or lines. Water hazards are places you definitely want to avoid hitting your ball! But while they can be frustrating, water hazards test a golfer's skill and also make the course more interesting. Water hazards also add to the aesthetics of a golf course, as well as ensure there is plenty of water for course maintenance. The putting green is the area in which the cup is located. Greens include mounding, contouring, and sloping to make getting the ball into the hole more challenging. The hole is 4 1/4 inches in diameter, and a long, straight pole with a flag on top, called a flagstick, is used to identify the cup on the green.

Dünyanın en prestijli organizasyonlarından biri olarak nitelendirilen Dünya Amatör Golf Şampiyonası 2012 yılında Türkiye'de yapılacak. |
Türkiye ilk olarak İstanbul'da 1895 yılında kurulan ve o zamanki adı ile Constantinapole Golf Club olan, bugün ise İstanbul Golf Kulübü adını taşıyan kulübün kuruluşu ile golf sporuyla tanışmıştı. 1990'lı yılların başına kadar ise golf sporu Türkeyi için çok fazla anlam ifade etmeyen, ülkedeki belli bir kesimin haftasonu veya tatil günlerini değerlendirmek amacı ile kendilerini doğa ile başbaşa bıraktıkları bir aktiviteydi. Sporun sadece futbol olmadığının farkında olan bazı medya kuruluşları ise bu sporun Dünya üzerindeki turnuvalarını belli zamanlarda da olsa Türk Spor severlerinin bilgisine sunuyordu. Ancak özellikle Antalya'da golfün gelişimi için atılan adımlar, yapılan tesisler golfün bir spor olduğunun anlaşılmasına katkı sağladı. 20 yıl önceye kadar Türkiye içinde bu sporu gerçek anlamda ve ciddi bir şekilde oynamak isteyenler ne tesis ne de rakip bulamıyorlardı. 1996 yılında kurulan Türkiye Golf Federasyonu bu sporun Türkiye'deki gelişimi için bir dönüm noktası oldu. Federasyon altında birleşmeye başlayan golfseverler artık turnuvalara katılabiliyor, Avrupa'da ve Dünya'da golfün hangi aşamalarda olduğunu takip edebiliyorlardı. 1996'dan bugüne geçen 12 yıllık sürede çok mesafe katedildi ve Türkiye Golf Federasyonu Başkanı Ahmet Ağaoğlu'nun da büyük katkısı ile 2012 Dünya amatör Golf şampiyonasını düzenleme hakkını elde etti.
Dünyanın en prestijli organizasyonlarından biri olarak nitelendirilen Dünya Amatör Golf Şampiyonası 2012 yılında Türkiye'de yapılacak. İki yılda bir düzenlenen bu organizasyon için Avustralya'nın Adelaide kentinde yapılan oylamada Türkiye, Avusturya ve İtalya'yı büyük bir farkla geride bırakarak, organizasyonun ev sahipliğini yapma hakkı kazandı. Türkiye, oylamaya katılan 92 üyeden 76'sının oyunu almayı başardı. Uluslararası Golf Federasyonu tarihinde ilk kez bir ülke, ilk adaylık girişiminden mutlu sona ulaştı. 1996 yılında kurulan Türkiye Golf Federasyonu bu organizasyonu alan en genç federasyon olarak ta tarihe geçti. Turnuvaya Antalya Belek'teki Cornelia Golf Kulübü, Gloria Golf Kulübü ve Antalya Golf Kulübü ev sahipliği yapacak. 2012 yılında gerçekleşecek organizasyona yaklaşık 100 ülkeden 100'e yakın sporcunun katılması bekleniyor.
Turnuvayı düzenleme hakkını yaptığı çalışmalarla Türkiye'nin kazanmasında büyük rol oynayan Türkiye Golf Federasyonu Başkanı Ahmet Ağaoğlu, bu tarihi kararla Türkiye'nin tanıtım açısından çok büyük bir fırsat yakaladığını belirtti.
Ağaoğlu, Dünya Amatör Golf Şampiyonası'nın golf sporunun olimpiyatları olarak kabul edildiğinin altını çizerek, "Her iki yılda farklı kıtalarda düzenlenen geniş kapsamlı bir turnuvadır. Yani her 12 yılda bir bir kıta bu organizasyona ev sahipliği yapıyor. Amerika kıtası Güney ve Kuzey olarak nitelendiriliyor. Sonuçta 2012 yılında Avrupa'da yapılacak olan organizasyonun ev sahibi Türkiye olacak. 2000 yılında son kez Avrupa'da oynandığında biz çok genç bir federasyonduk. O yıldan sonra İtalya adaylığını koymuştu 2012 için. Daha sonra biz de adaylığımızı koyma kararı vardık. İtalya ayrıca golf sporunda ağırlığı olan bir ülke. Ama biz son bir yıl içinde profesyonel bir şirketle anlaştık. Federasyonumuz içinden de bir grup oluşturarak golf federasyonun yer aldığı tüm ülkelere adaylığımız hakkında bilgiler verdik. Seçimin yapılacağı Avusturalya'ya yedi kişilik bir ekiple gittik ve çok sıkı bir çalışma içine girdik. 92 delegeyi çok yakın takibe aldık. Seçim sonrası diğer adaylar İtalya'nın ve Avusturya'nın toplam oyunun üçe katlayarak bu organizasyonu düzenlema hakkı kazandık. Bana göre Antalya'da, Belek'ke bulunun tesislerimiz Avrupa'da bu şampiyonanın düzenlenmesi için en iyi konuma ve şartlara sahip. 15 gün sürecek olan böyle bir turnucayı çok iyi bir şekilde düzenleyeceğimize inanıyorum. Son 10 yılda Türk Golfünün gelmiş olduğu nokta, tüm dünya tarafından taktir edildi." dedi.
Ağaoğlu, yakalanan bu başarıya rağmen Türkiye'de golf sporunun hala yanlış anlaşıldığını ve farklı kitlelerin sporu olarak gösterildiğinini de kaydederek, "Biz Türkiye'de hala golfün çok ciddi bir spor olduğunu anlatamadık. Bizim bugün 5500 lisanslı sporcumuz var ve bu sayının 4500 18 yaş altında dar gelirli ailelerin çocukları. Biz golfü Türkiye'de daha geniş kitleler yaymaya çalışırken, bu sporun bazı kesimlere hitap ettiği ve farklı amaçlar doğrultusun kullanıldığı ifade ediliyor. Golfü üç beş zenginin sporu olarak değerlendirmek çok büyük haksızlık" ifadelerini kullandı.
Türkiye Golf Federasyonu Başkanı Ahmet Ağaoğlu Dünya Golf Federasyonu'na üye136 ülkeyi önümüzdeki dört yıl içinde sürekli organizasyonla ilgili bilgilendirieceklerini ve 2012 ye kadar tüm hazırlıklarını tamalayacaklarını da sözlerine ekledi. |
