Golf is multi-tiered. Meaning that there is much more than just hitting a ball really hard to make it go really far, (this is known as the log drive btw). Onemust be skilled at accurately hitting the ball a great distance. In order to do so, one must swing and aim the club at the appropriate speed. Then there'sthe mid-game, where one must calculate height and distance in order to place the ball as close to the hole as possible. Finally, there is putting. This mayappear to be the easiest aspect of it, but it certainly takes expertise to do well. One must take into account not only the slope of the course, but even thegrain of the grass and how that will affect your shot.
