Golf is generally a game on a large outdoor course with series of nine or 18 holes distant from each other. The objective is to propel a small hard ball with the use of clubs into each hole the few strokes possible.
The game is engaging that sports enthusiasts often debate on who's the best player among the many who played golf. Here are some of those who had made their name in the sport:
Arnold Palmer
Palmer learned golf from his father. He won his first trophy in a professional tour in 1955. He had won 93 other tournaments including seven majors. He was distinguished because of his marketability and impact in the game of golf around the world. He is truly a global golf icon.
Palmer loves golf so much that he just can't live his life without it. He has passionately thrived in the world of golf. He even put up the first golf course in China to create an interaction in the game and do other stuffs beneficial to the sport where he had established his name.
Ben Hogan
Ben Hogan dropped out of high school and became a pro golfer in 1930. He won his first professional tournament a year after. He was tagged with many names such as "The Hawk" for his implausible will and determination and "The Wee Ice Man" for his daunting stare and quiet appearance.
The golfer is widely recognized as one of the greatest of all time. He had an incredible career recognized to have the greatest swing of all time so as the best ball striker. Ask Tiger Woods and he'll say the same about Hogan.
Sam Snead
Snead became a golf player at the age of 22. He won five tournaments during his first year as a pro. This World Golf Hall of 'Famer' has the record in winning 11 tournaments in a year (1950). Snead continued to play even at his 70's and was playing for an 18-hole round even at the age of 85. Well in golf, age does not matter as long as you have the courage and the will to strike and make every strike a success.
Snead won seven major championships in his calling. Ironically, he was never able to win the U.S. Open--an interesting fact that leaves a little stain on his career.
