All golf clubs are composed of a shaft with a grip and a club head. There are six types of golf clubs – wood, iron, hybrid, putter, wedge and chipper.

And I’d rather build castles in the sand trap rather than try to pitch a ball out of it. But somehow in the seventh grade I found myself on the junior high golf team. Although I didn’t know it when I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet, golf would teach me the most important lesson…

Before I got my driver’s license I would have my grandparents take me to the golf course in the morning and get picked up later in the day. Once I got my license, I would drive to the course early in the morning and be one of the first people out on the course so I would have the entire course to myself to practice on. As a sophomore in high school, I got a job at a golf course. I…

The main invention I am going to talk about is the golf ball. Back in the 1300’s the golf ball was first created.
