Golf has been reborn since the turn of the 21st Century and is no longer a game associated with old buffers heading down the course for a competitive round against each other! Nowadays, the game is keen to attract people of all ages and most actively encourage beginners and have many family days to try and boost the popularity of the sport.

Golf was long associated as a male only sport, with many believing the word GOLF to be an acronym for - Gentlemen only, ladies forbidden. This long-standing rumour is not only false, it does not reflect the trend in Golf today, with people of all ages and both sexes taking part.

Golf equipment can be quite expensive, with some clubs reaching up to £300 each. Most clubs let you hire out spare clubs for reasonably cheap rates.
