Amy Alcott is one of the great characters that has inhabited women’s golf - or is all of golf for that manner. Not the least of her attributes are a wicked sense of humour and great sense of cosmic timing.

One day she called a writer friend to tell him that she’s just been named the top female Jewish athlete in the United States.

“Congratulations Amy “Â the friend said. ” That is great. Who did you beat ?”

“Some fencer from Brandeis ” she deadpanned.

A number of technological advances have occured in the game of golf over the years. Nothing has changed the game of golf and golfing more than technological advances if the simple golf ball.

There are number of specs that a golf ball must meet according to United States Golf Association

1) Size of the golf ball - A golf ball may not be smaller than 1.68 inches in diameter. The golf ball can be as big as wanted but nor smaller than those set measurements.

2) Weight of the golf ball - The ball cannot be heavier than 1.62 ounces

3) Velocity of the golf ball - The USGA has an actual machine for measuring velocity and velocities of tested golf balls. No ball can exceed 250 feet per secod at 75 degress Farenheit. A tolerance of no more tha 2 % is allowed by the golfing rules. This rule has a purpose in that golf balls cannot go excessive distances.

4) Distance : distance is the most imporant factor of a golf ball. No ball when hit by USGA’s ” Iron Byron” machine can travel further than 280 yards. A tolerance of 6 percent is allowed making a maximum distance of 296 yards.

Unbelievably when the great golfing golf legend “Bobby Jones” . who had also played with hickory-shafted clubs after steel shafted golf clubs were finally legalized by the United States Golfing Association ( USGA) in 1924, ran into the problems of finding identical shafts for his set of golf clubs , Years after Bobby Jones retired his set of old golf clubs were run through a sophisticated set of of tests to show how this set of golfing clubs matched as a set.

It was determined that the set of clubs in this group of golf clubs matched pretty well and were fairly close . Amazingly though one of the set of golf clubs - the 8-iron golf club was markedly different, especially the metal shaft of the club. Jones was not surprised in any way , His remark was “I always had trouble with that club”

   In the last 100 years  golf has changed enormously .  The most noticeble diffirence is in the area of golf and golfing equipment.  The game of golf and golfing may be inherently the same but the golfing tools and implements used to get along the course and down the golfing fairways have gotten better and better more sophisticated and clear tecnnology to in the end get the golfer to the 18th ( or 9′th ) holes down the golfing fairways with less and fewer golf strokes.

      The names inherent in older golfing regimes may be romantic and quaint compared to our mass marketed blander golfing tools  .   Words inherent in golfer’s tongues such as  Nibclick , brassie , spoon , driving -iron ,  mashie and mashie- niblick abound.  These may be more colorfull  terms than the now standard golfing terms of - 9-iron , 3-wood , 1 iron and 5- wood  but in the end if the life of a golfer is easier with less strokes down the fairways of life then that is all that matters

in the life , times and troubles of most golfers.

What was learnt and in essence relearnt in 1998 was that golf and the sport of golfing is not like baseball or basketball.

One player cannot dominate the game as in the way Micheal Jordan did the NBA or Kirk Stevens did not at Ace Employment Services. Golf is a game of cycles , and as Tiger Woods continues to improve his game, he will have his runs like did from the Greater Milwaukee Open till the time period of the Western Open.

That was certainly among the most exciting time in golf since the early 1960′2 when Arnold Palmer burst on the scene and “invented the game of golf”.

For a time period it looked as if Tiger Woods was going to reinvent the game of golf ,but Tiger Woods has more golfing players to beat than Palmer did. He also has to deal with more than Mr. Palmer did , and those pressures can turn a young boy into an old man promptly.

Tiger Woods plays almost every golfing golf tournament under a death threat , surrounded like a phalanx of security personnel. He cannot even go to a movie or dinner for fear of being mobbed . Golfing celebrity status indeed.

Because he is of mixed heritage - Tiger’s mother is Thai and Tiger’s father is black - Tiger Woods is more than just a golfer with the skills to excel.

Tiger is also a golfer of the common man and people , a young man who represents the breaking down of ethnic barriers . People and golfers worldwide state that he transcends the game, that Tiger Woods is a crossover personality who brought scores of people to golf who had never considered the game of golf and golfing as a sport or a venture that would interest them in any manner whatsoever.

Kids started to turn up at golf t0urnaments - in droves. They were white and black , Asians and Hispanic, boys and girls. The sport of golf and golfing had a new crowd and it was hungry for this kid for Cypress , California , who turned golf into a video game.

When Tiger Woods smiles it seem that the whole world of golfing smiles with him .

Tigermania was Tigermnia because Tiger Woods produced the type of golf that was utterly dominating . He stayed golf fourses with his length , made every putt needed to make , trademarked a first pump , and for the first couple of years could do no wrong.

His first three wins came across Davis Love III, Payne Stewart and Tom Lehman - and he ran through these players as if they were golfers on the U.S. Amateur Golf Tournament. He turned Augusta National into the proverbial pitch , putt and golf course, reaching the par 5’s with wedges. He was golfs’s highlighted tape.

It is no mystery why Jack Nicklaus was voted Golfer of the Century. The “Golden Bear” arrived on the scene from Columbus Ohio. In 1962 at the height of Palmer’s popularity , and while Arnold Palmer accepted accolades , Nicklaus hoarded golfing hardware.

http://360.yahoo.com/billys_office

A telling denouncement for the golfing world occurred at the 1962 US Open, when Nicklaus defeated Palmer in a playoff at Oakmont (Pennsylvania) Country Club- dead in the heart of enemy golf country.

As the year rolled by Nicklaus routinely routed his adversaries and exhausted all the adjectives the golfing media could find.

Arnold Palmer was exceptional. Arnold Palmer turned golf professional in 1954 was an exceptional golfing talent who chalked up 60 golf victories on the links in his golfing sports career. This included 4 Master titles among his seven major golfing conquests.

Arnold Palmer , not only ignited growth of the sport of golf in the United States , but also across the globe. Most telling , after winning his masters championship and rallying onwards to claim the U.S. Open at Cherry Hills at Denver in 1960 , Palmer went in search of further golfing conquests. At St. Andrews in the British Open Palmer fell only a stroke shy , finishing second to Kel Nagle .

However in the process Palmer singly restored the prestige of the Open championship .

In contrast to Hogans stoicism was Arnold Palmer’s charisma , which attracted the “common folks” to what before had been considered as an elite sport. Palmer the son of a gameskeeper from Latrobe , Pennsylvania galavanized a generation of sports fans with the slashing “go for broke ” style of a penniless pirate. His legions of fanatical followers become known as “Arnie’s Army”.

What is more is that Arnold Palmer’s approach to the game of golf and golfing and his emotional reaction to his successes and failures as well as his congenial personality were all well suited to the new entertainment medium of televison. TV spurred on both the sport of golfing , golf’s and Arnold great popularity.

Arnold Palmer’s Swing Video

Ben Hogan was such an exceptional golfer that he had three nicknames “Bantam Ben” , “The Hawk” and “Wee Ice Mon”.

The recalcitrant Texan , Ben Hogan , who was the quitest golfer on the golfing links , was argueably the most diligent pratice golfing player of all time. Hogan honed a golf swing that was close to perfect as any golfer could ever wish for.

Hogan’s daily regime included hitting a bag of golf balls for each club in his golf bag.

Hogan’s 66 victories included 9 majors . Five of these were major titles - three in the U.S. open. Ben Hogan was nearly killed in an car accident in Febuary 1949. Hogan and his wife Valerie were enroute from El Paso Texas to Phoenix when a Greyhound bus pulled out in front of Hogan’s car on a fog laden 2 lane highway.

Hogan relflexively threw his body across his wife as the bus hit them head on , an instinctive move that probably saved his life. Nethertheless the damage to his body was extensive and it was thought that he would never play golf again.

Amazingly Ben Hogan returned to golf when he returned to the U.S. Open Championship in 1950 at Merlon Golf Club just 16 months after the accident. Miraculously , Hogan survived the grueling 36 hole Saturday round , plus a playoff against Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio to win the second of four national championships.

Together , the trio combined for 195 golfing victories and 21 major championships.
