Aaron's Golf Highlights
Golf is a outdoor game in which individual players use specially designed clubs to propel a small, hard ball over a field of play known as a course. The object of the game is to advance the ball around the course using as few strokes as possible. The game was originally played with a ball made of feathers tightly packed in a leather cover. About 1850 a ball made of gutta-percha came into use. Gutta-percha is a milky liquid, derived principally from Malaysian trees, that hardens after being boiled and cooled. About 1901 a ball with a rubber core enclosed in gutta-percha, similar to the ball in use today, was developed. Scotland is considered the birthplace of golf.
Great Golfers
The "Great Triumvirate" rulers of golf during the later years of the 19th century included: John Henry (JH) Taylor, Harry Vardon and James Braid. Between them the three of them they won the British Open 16 times in 20 years. In the period from 1958 to 1964, crowd pleaser Arnold Palmer won four Masters titles, two British Open crowns, and the US Open championship. By 1966, the intense Jack Nicklaus had taken three Masters, one US Open, one British Open and one PGA championship. Today, Tiger Woods is far and above the most dominating player in history.
