Golf course size depending on the design

Depending on the design and types of golf courses, the requirement of the land will vary.Nothing is fixed, by the way. It depends completely upon you. If you are too conservative because you don’t have enough land to build a large course, then many options are there to choose from.

Let's find out the requirement of land to build different types of the golf course-

1. International standard 18-hole golf course

If you are thinking about building an international standard golf course, where you will be able to execute an international golf championship, then according to the ASGCA (American Society Of Golf Course Architecture)- you would require a land around 120-200 acres. If you own that much of land, then welcome! You are now ready to build an international standard golf course that will have 18 holes with a par score of 72. And you can expect that the course will have all types of facilities that a standard course possesses.

2. International standard 9 hole golf course

If you don’t have enough land to build an international standard 18 hole golf course, but you want to build a moderate golf course where you will be able to arrange different golfing events by maintaining the USGA rules, then probably you can go with building a new 9 hole golf course. If you are thinking about building a nine-hole international standard golf course, then the expected land that it would require is around 45-80 acres.Building a 9 hole international standard golf course means you are going to get a par score of 35 or 36 on average.

3. Short 18 hole golf course

To build a short 18 hole golf course it would require a land area of around 30-35 acres. But, as you can expect, you will not get all the facilities in a short 18 hole golf course.

4. Intermediate 18 hole golf course

If you are thinking about building a customizable 18 hole golf course with a short driving range and rough area, then it would require a land area of around 80-100 acres.

5. Four-hole golf course

Building a four-hole golf course with the measurement of 400 yards would require a land area of around 9-11 acres.

6. Six hole golf course

If you own a land area of around 15-30 acres, then maybe you are ready to build a six-hole golf course. With that amount of land, you will be able to build a 6 hole golf course with full freedom.

7. Miniature golf course

Now, this is the section for those guys who don’t have enough land to build a new golf course but are willing to build a new golf course to enjoy with friends/family/colleagues, thenbuilding a miniature golf course would be the ideal choice.

Building a miniature golf course would require a small portion of the land, or sometimes no land at all. You can build a miniature golf course in your office, yard, or anywhere you want where there is a small free area available.

We, who are living in the present era are lucky because we are being able to watch the greatest leaders of golfing is now playing in our era.

Instead of looking for them in the pages of history, we are observing history.

When there will be a time when your child would ask you about Tiger Woods, and at that time, you will describe how this time was.you will be able to describe how great this time was.

Anyways, let us find out the top 10 richest golfers of all time and the estimation of their total net worth.

Here is the list of the top 10 richest golfers of all time.

Final words

Golf is a prestigious game not only because it has attracted a lot of people but also because of the large amount of prize money that this game offers.

Winning any great event will provide you greater prize money that is envying for any non-golfers.

And these richest golfers are winning them one after another.

That is how golfing can change the total outcome of your perspective.

One of the common questions about golf, among the common people, is -why golf is so much expensive?

Well, is the statement really true?

Golf is a prestigious game, and people are playing golf for a long time, and for sure, they will continue playing golf.

But, in recent days, we are hearing a hypothesis about golf is that it is becoming costly every single day.

We are not taking this supposition for granted. Instead, in this article, we will discuss some of the matters that support this hypothesis, and also some of the things that will be against this hypothesis.

Our intention here will be to find out the actual causes of golf being so expensive and is it really worth of everything or not.

Why golf is so expensive

You can’t deny the fact that golf is really expensive. But there are some obvious reasons behind it.

Let’s discuss all those things first and then attach some reasons to support our hypothesis.

Commenting without making any discussion would not be a great choice.

These are the top five things that are mainly responsible for golf being so expensive.

1. Equipments cost

2. Sharpening the saw

This is one of my favorite things from the seven habits of highly effective people.

You can’t start playing golf without having any practices or coaching.

There are many things you need to learn if you are thinking about golf.

 You need to learn how to make a better swing, how your gesture should be while you are playing golf.

For honing these skills that playing golf requires, you need to hire a coach, or, at least, you need to get yourself admitted into any professional training center.

That is how you are going to start playing golf.

But, I am sorry that I need to make you sad again, but yes, you need to spend a great amount of money here also.

For starting your amateur career, you need to complete at least 10 professional training courses.

If one of the courses costs you around 100 dollars, then we can estimate that completing 10 courses will cost you around 1000 dollars. You may complete all the courses lower than the price of our estimation. This should not be the reality all the time.

Oh my Jesus!

Should I stop dreaming about golf?

No! not at all.

We are not here to demotivate you. Instead, we want you to play golf.

But these are the harsh realities you are going to face. But, wait for our consolation section where we will be discussing some of the things that should give you some courage about why you should continue playing golf.

Now, let’s explore another field where you need to spend money on playing golf.

3. Golf Course

4. Golf Clothing

5. Membership

The reason why you should continue golf

1. Most of the cost is for one time

If you can manage to buy all the equipment at a time, you need no thinking about making such an investment again.

You can continue playing with the equipment for a long time.

If you are too much passionate about golf, and you believe that you have some potential, then never stop!

This investment of yours can bring out great possibilities.

2. Golf equipment’s hardly damage

there is a minimum chance that your equipment will be damaged after certain days of use.

If you take good care of your equipment, there is a high chance that you will be able to play with them for a long period.

You just need to be cautious, that is how you are going to make progress in this beautiful game.

3. Many tournaments available

whether you are a handicap, amateur, or professional level player, many tournaments are happening every year for providing you enough opportunity to show your skill.

If you believe that, you have opportunities and possibilities then you should not stop.

Who knows if you are going to be the next Tiger Woods or not?

4. Prize money is high

If you own a professional mind setup, then you should know that the prize money for any golf tournament is pretty high.

If you can manage to win any tournament or at least can reach the final round,

You need no thinking about the money that you have spent on buying all of your accessories.

Many players have had nothing, but they have gained everything possible with hard work and consistency.

That is why we believe that it is all about motivation and consistency.

Talents never fade away. You are here only to shine.

5. Minimizing the amount

you can also think about minimizing the total cost by taking some precautious steps.

The amount that we have estimated here should be the reality all the time.

You can minimize the total amount of budget at any time by following some procedures.

There are many second-hand good quality products available in the market that you always can choose to buy.

It’s always about making a start. If you can’t afford to buy all brand new products, start with the second-hand accessories.

And, there are many coaching companies available that will provide you a scholarship if you can’t afford to pay.

It is the skills that you need to have and the courage to continue.

We believe that, once you make a start, you will get your own ways to continue.

Is golf dying?

A common question among the people that we are hearing, but we don't want to hear-is golf really dying for its greater cost?

The answer is obviously a big no!

We can assure you that, it is evolving every single day as it should.

But, this is also true that the number of courses that are opening every year is far lower than the number of courses that are closing every year.

But there are many reasons behind this concept.

Instead of playing outdoor, indoor golfing is gaining more popularity in recent days.

That is why the demand for golf simulator is increasing rapidly.

As people can easily afford to set up a simulator inside their house and they can enjoymultiple numbers of courses sitting at home, the emotion for outdoor golfing is reducing for sure.

But. The passion for golf is not dying at all.

It is just taking another turn. We don’t know still if it is good or not. But, surely, we prefer playing golf in the green golf courses.

I wish, as you wish, the prices of golf equipment were lower than usual.

We don’t want this beautiful green game to fade away.

Final words

There is no doubt about the fact that golf is the most expensive sports that are available.

You need to think about golf equipment, training, course fee, membership, clothing, and many more for playing golf.

You also need to pay a high budget of money for affording all of them. Can you imagine any other sports being this much expensive?

But, whatever it is, golf is like an addiction. Once you start playing golf, you forget all of these.

The only thing that starts brainstorming inside your brain is- you need to put the golf ball into the hole. That is how you will be count as successful.

But, it is also true that the increasing amount of golfing is becoming a concern for every player.

Many dedicated players are thinking about quitting golf for its greater budget.

But we don't want that. We want consideration and enough opportunity to carry on.

Providence and cautiousness, only, can help us to achieve this great feat and to continue playing golf.

Career Achievements

Tiger Woods  career

Tiger Woods Birth

Tiger Woods was born on December 30 in 1975, and right now, he is passing his 45^th living year (by 2020).

The birth name of Tiger Woods is EdricTont Woods, and he was called Tiger Woods by his father as the respect of one of his fellow friends who was also called Tiger.

If not as a genius but surely with some natural golfing skill, Tiger Woods bestowed the whole world.

Tiger Woods Early learning

The early coach of Tiger Woods was his father. His father was a military man and as a result, Tiger Woods has received enough opportunity to play in professional military courses from the very early period of his life. At 2 years of age, Tiger played on a regulation course of 9 holes with a 36 par and Tiger finishes the course with 48 par stroke.

At 3 years of age, Tiger played his first tournament and the tournament was for kids under 10 years of age.

And freakingly, Tiger Woods won that tournament.

At the age of 11, Tiger Woods defeated his father for the first time and since then, his father never managed to win against him.

His father has made a real impact on the building of his career.

He was his coach and role model.

The death of his father was like a total shock to him.

He said, “I’ll never forget the lesson that (dad) told me. That year at the Masters, I tried to win it for him. I knew it was the last tournament he was ever going to watch me play. I need to win one for dad, so he can actually see this before he passes and I tried and I put too much pressure on myself and I went back to California after that to be with Pops and he (was like), ‘What the hell is wrong with you?’ And I said, ‘Well dad, I tried to win it for you.’ He said, ‘Haven’t I taught you anything in the game of golf? You do it for the inner joy that it brings, you don’t do it for anyone else.’ And (I was like), ‘Yeah, I took myself out of what you taught me.’ Looking back on this year, at the core of it all is that I wanted to do it again. I wanted to do it for myself that I could climb the mountain one more time.”

Many people criticize that Tiger has lost his track after his father’s death.

Maybe it’s true for his personal life but Tiger surely has made such progress in the game of golf.

Tiger Woods Career and achievements

For sure there were some setbacks in Tiger Woods life. But all the achievements throughout his whole career can create envy and jealousy for anyone.

At the age of 15, Tiger Woods won the first U.S Junior amateur championship as the youngest player.

At the age of 20, Tiger Woods became the first player to win three consecutive amateur championships in 1996.

In 1996, at the age of 20, Tiger Woods had been awarded the Sports Illustrate d's sportsman of the year.

The year 1997 is very important to Tiger Woods because, on April 13, 1997, Tiger Woods won his first major, the Masters, and was awarded as the tournament's youngest winner (at the age of 21)

In 2000, Tiger Woods managed to win six continuous events on the PGA tour after Hogan in 1948.

In 2000, Tiger Woods broke the nine tournament record which is known as the greatest performance in golf history.

At the age of 24, Tiger Woods won the grand slum as the youngest player to achieve this milestone.

With the win of the Masters in 2001, Tiger Woods became the only player to win four consecutive major professional golf titles.

Personal life

Instead of these huge achievements, Tiger Woods also has a personal life where he lives like an ordinary person.

In his personal and career life he has some setbacks and great achievements which as a family member or as a general individual we observe.

In 1999, Tiger Woods needed to go through laser eye surgery for having difficulty with his eyes.

In 2003, Tiger Woods get married to Elin Nordegren.

In 2007, they had a baby daughter named Sam Alexis Woods and in 2009, they had a son named Charlie Axel Woods.

But for some misunderstanding, they get divorced in 2010.

Since then, Tiger Woods is alleged to have many affairs with many girls.

Let it be secret as we don’t like to talk about someone’s personal life.

Final words

Tiger Woods is considered the most prestigious golf player living in the present era.

He has achieved almost every title that is possible for a player to achieve.

But although with a prosperous career, his personal and marital life was not smooth at all.

There were breakdowns in his life every now and then.

But anyone can take him as an idol if he would like to take his career to a greater extent in golf avoiding his personal life.

If not a family member, he is obviously a great golfer or maybe the greatest the world has ever seen.

Well, if you are living in the present world, you probably know that it is totally forbidden to go outside to play any kind of sport.

During this pandemic situation, things are getting harder and harder gradually.

You need to measure a lot of things for going outside including your safety and the safety of other people around you.

Although most of the sports events are closed now,there is one game or sport that you can actually play during COVID-19.

YES! GOLF IT IS!

Golf is a kind of game that can be played by maintaining social distance and safety measures.

But then again the risk is always here.

As long as any vaccine or treatment doesn’t appear, maintaining the precaution would be the ideal choice.

Here are the top 5 tips that you can follow for playing golf during COVID-19.

5 tips for golfing during COVID-19

1. Using sanitizer

2. Maintaining social distance

Any contact with a COVID-19 patient can spread the disease among other people.

That is why maintaining social distance is the most important thing you need to follow if you want to be safe during this pandemic situation.

A common statistic shows that many COVID-19 patients can show no symptoms at all.

That is why you never can say whether a person is COVID affected or not.

Better you keep the social distance for your own protection.

As you never can say-whether the friend you are playing with is asymptomatic or not.

Stay at least 3 to 6 feet away from any person. This will greatly help you to be safe during this pandemic situation.

You need to maintain social distance while playing golf and also when you will be outside at your home.

And playing golf does not require any physical contact with other players.

3. One cart per golfer

Another safety measure that the golf authority should take is allocating one cart per golfer.

Golf carts can be another issue for spreading the disease.

That is why many golfers should not use a cart.

It can increase the spreading rate dramatically.

Even in some cases, it is better to avoid the golf cart.

If you can manage to walk through the course you should walk instead of using a cart.

If you own a golf cart, that’s better. Use your property with your own risk.

But if you are thinking about hiring a cart for roaming around the course, be very serious.

Maybe it will lead you to a situation that you would never like to see in your life.

4. Using a mask

The Coronavirus mostly spread through the nasal tract. That is why it has become quite mandatory to use a mask if you are thinking about going outside or playing golf.

Using a mask will reduce the chances of getting or making affected.

Besides, using a mask will prevent you from touching your face or nasal part quite often which is our basic instinct and we love to touch these parts unconsciously.

A research done by the experts shows that using a mask can reduce the chance of Corona Virus infection to 95%.

That means you will be 95% safer and there is only a 5% chance of infection with a mask.

It’s your decision whether you will use a mask or remain in the 95% danger zone.

5. Dont linger around

As long as the game is over, don’t stay too long at the course.

During this pandemic situation, it is ideal to stay at home.

but as you are out, it would be ideal not to stay long.

The more outside you will remain the more the chances of getting infectious will be.

For maintaining the safety of yours and the safety of others, don’t linger around for no reason.

The world is not having a great time, and for the betterment of the world, you need to be cautious.

The better the world's health will be the better you and your future generation will remain.

It’s quite natural, you love to roam around in the course or to have a conversation with your friends.

But for the sake of safety, avoid roaming around if you don't have any special thing to complete.

Final words

The world's greatest scientist and researchers are trying their best for finding out a solution of- COVID-19 pandemic.

But instead of their great effort, it is not easy at all to invent a vaccine within a short period of time.

It takes time and patience and several trials need to make for a final outcome.

That’s why your patience is highly required.

But golf is a kind of game that can be played by maintaining social distance.

But maintaining all the safety measures can reduce the chances of getting affected.

We have discussed the safety measures of COVID-19 that you should take for playing golf in this article does not mean that we are encouraging you to play golf during this pandemic situation.

We are just suggesting you the tips that can avoid the risk if you are very much determined about playing golf during this pandemic situation.

And obviously, staying home would be a better decision than going outside.

Golf is a prestigious game to play and majors are even more prestigious.

Every year a large number of Golf tournaments take place, among all of them, four great tournaments are marked as majors.

They are-

• The Masters (April)
• PGA Championship (May)
• U.S. Open (June)
• The Open Championship (July)

Majors History

When majors started is not well known. Now, for us majors are the four great championships, but previously it was not the same as now.

There were two British tournaments and two American tournaments that were known as majors.

But then in the late 1940s and 1950s, the game started to evolve.

Maybe in 1960, after winning the Masters and U.S. Open, John Palmers opines that if he manages to win the rest of the two tournaments, he will be able to open his grand slam by comparing him with the great Bobby Jones.

From then, there is a chance that the present majors started to take place.

The Masters (April)​​​​​

This is the first major of the season and prestigious of all.

This is the only major that played on the same course every year.

The masters first took place on March 22 in 1934 and from then are being played on the same course every year.

Every year the winner of the tournament is presented with an iconic green jacket that they can wear anywhere throughout the year. But after the course, they have to return the jacket.

During the course, strict disciplinary rules needed to follow.

Running, lying on the green, and using any kind of electronic device is highly prohibited.

Another interesting fact about this Championship is every year all the past champions gather for dinner and the defending champion commences the ritual.

PGA Championship (May)

This tournament is organized by the Professional Golfers Association of America.

This tournament is held on two bases, in America and outside America.

The prize money for the tournament is huge.

The prize money is near 11 million in recent days.

The motive of this Championship is to produce a high profile tournament.

There are 12 criteria that you need to have for participating in the PGA championship.

1. All former PGA Champions
2. Winners of the last five Masters
3. Winners of the last five U.S. Opens
4. Winners of the last five Open Championships
5. Winners of the last three Players Championships
6. The top 15 finishers at thePGA Championship
7. The top 20 finishers at the PGA Professional Championship
8. Year-to-date PGA Championship Points leaders
9. Ryder Cup team members
10. Winners of PGA Tour-approved tournaments
11. Special invitations
12. Completing the field

U.S. Open (June)

U.S. open or United States Open Championship is one of the most famous major championships of all the four majors.

The first edition of the U.S. Open took place on October 4, 1895.

This Championship is organized by the USGA or United States Golf Association.

The prize money for this Championship is near 12.5 million dollars.

This Championship aims to produce quality golfers and thus every professional and amateur golfer has the opportunity to participate in this Championship (except you have a handicap index more than 1.4)

This is the statement or criteria from USGA that you need to have for joining U.S. open championship-

Entries are open to professional golfers, amateur golfers, and applicants for

reinstatement. Amateurs and applicants for reinstatement must have an up-to-date Handicap Index based on ratings for men not exceeding 1.4 under the Rules

of Handicapping. A Handicap Index must be issued from a “golf club” (as defined in

the Rules of Handicapping book) that is authorized to use the Rules of Handicapping.

The USGA accepts an up-to-date Handicap Index issued from the international body

of golf that would be equivalent to a Handicap Index within the prescribed limit for

entry into the Championship. For this Championship, any reference to gender

applies to all genders.

The Open Championship (July)

This is the fourth major Championship of all the four majors.

This one is regarded as the oldest major golf tournament ever.

This Championship is also known as the open or British open Championship.

The first open or British open Championship took place on October 17, 1860.

This is also a major tournament that is open for everyone who would like to participate.

There are as many as 40 criteria that you need to follow for participating in the British Open Championship.

We are here trying to highlight some of the criteria-

Most majors won in golf list

winning any major is a kind of dream to any golfer. But some legends have managed to win many of them.

From the very beginning to now, the list is not that long who has managed to win a couple of major championships.

Here is the list of the players who have managed to win majors for maximum time-

If you are a dreamer and you have a dream to make it that far then they should be our idle.

If they can make it possible, why can't you?

You just need to have a big dream and thrust for being champion.

Conclusion

Winning any major is not a kind of task for everyone. The momentum needs to be built and the courage should be in the Apex.

The difficulty of winning four majors in a calendar year is quite high.

From the very beginning to now, only one player has managed to acquire this prestige.

Even the modern-day legends tiger woods could not achieve that prestige so far.

But we are not hopeless, maybe one day there will be someone who will be able to redeem the prestige in his achievement list.

Majors tournaments are kind of great opportunity for the professional and amateur golfers to prove their skill.

Maybe it's now your turn to participate and show the world that you have great golfing skills too.

The invention period of golf is not well known. But it is estimated that golf gained its peak popularity during the 1500s or 1600s.

The first rules and regulations of golf were not the same as now we play golf.

At the very beginning, people used to play golf with a stick and a round rock ball.

The objective was to put the rock ball into a predetermined hole.

When golf started its journey, it was famous among all types of people. Golf was not a game popular among only with the aristocratic people rather people all over the country loved the game. From the kings to the peasants, it was played by everyone.

Where it was first played

Scotland is regarded as the birthplace of modern-day golf.

By the 1500s, it is estimated that a game more similar to modern golf was played on the coastal region of Scotland.

From then it started evolving, and with many of the corrections of rules, we have found modern-day golf.

Nevertheless, the journey was not smooth. Though many of the kings loved the game but some kings thought that it was just a total waste of important time. Instead of playing golf, they thought that the young generation should use their concern to develop the welfare of the nation.

However, the game survived, and with proper maintaining, the game got its proper shape.

Who invented golf

Okay, who actually invented golf is never known.

But it is being said that Hugh Kennedy, Robert Stewart and John Smale introduced the early version of golf in the Scottish island in 1421. And from then it started evolving.

In 1447 the first rules for playing golf were published and it was published by the Gentlemen Golfers of Leith, which is popularly known as the Edinburgh Golfers.

The whole article consists of 13 rules that the players needed to obliged.

From the early period to the modern-day golf there was some ups and downs.

Like in 1457, golf was banned by James ll because he thought it was a waste of time playing golf.

In 1470James lll again started the playing of golf.
