Golf

Although the popular notion is that the game of golf originated in Scotland in the mid-1400s, the truth is, no one really knows. Various forms of the sport have been played in England, France, Holland, Belgium, and even China. As other sports have promoted personalities, golf has steadfastly maintained its sense of decorum and tradition, rewarding only those who prove their mettle on the course. However, golf's love of tradition hasn't prevented it from establishing a strong Web presence in the 21st century. Whether you're just beginning or have already let golf take over your life, you'll find plenty of resources that can help you to brush up on the rules, obsess over tournaments, or improve your game.

In the same way that certain tennis players perform better on grass as opposed to clay surfaces (or vice versa), so too do some golfers play better or worse on particular courses or under particular conditions. Paying close attention to a player's likes and dislikes can often mean the difference between winning and losing a fantasy tournament.
