"Why people play golf is as infinite as the beauty in nature; the grounds of playing golf. Golf offers a unique experience in sport, where self knowledge, technique and an instrument will be your means of navigating a ball throughout designed paths requiring power and finesse where your final score will reflect how well you mentally and physically responded to the challenges of the game of golf. Each golf course offers a unique setting, challenge, and beauty, with a design to challenge the golfer in play. Here are a few treatments of golf such as social, business, competition along with a few philosophical viewpoints of just how great the game of golf can be for everyone. What a great game for juniors to learn and play." -Crowley Golf Training
