Similarities Of Golf And Archery
Golf started a little more than 500 years ago. It may have gone
back as far as the roman days. The golf ball was a leather pouch
stuffed with feathers. Is it possible the kids back then started
the game of golf by taking the feathers of their father's arrows
and stuffing their pouch, and used a club instead of a bow to
get the curvilinear motion of a game they really wanted to play?
The Scottish Shepherds started playing golf back in Scotland, by
hitting a leather ball stuffed with feathers. So many people
played the game of golf in Scotland, that the government
eventually stopped the game. The government wanted the people to
practice archery, so they could be good enough to defend their
country. Was stopping the game of golf altogether a mistake?
Judging by the enthusiasm of how golf is moving forward today.
They might have been better off stopping the use of the mashie
and niblick golf club, and made it mandatory to use the bow and
arrow instead. It would have accomplished two things. The people
would have improved their archery skills, and for the people who
continued using golf clubs, it would have
speeded up golf play
at the same time. All they had to do to make it safe was
lengthen the tee time intervals. The wind may have been the only
other dangerous factor. The biggest problem would have been
getting an audience or a crowd to watch along the sidelines.
Now taking a look at the similarities of golf and archery, one
would think they went hand in hand. Both sports require a shaft,
target, distance and accuracy. The two sports are played with a
curvilinear motion. Players from both sports have to use a
straight arm and a bent arm. The two sports have rounds to play.
Both the arrow and golf ball are capable of going 400 yards or
better in a single shot. The tournaments included junior
tournaments. Carrying either equipment is typically swung over
the shoulder. The circle in a target is the approximate size in
width as the tin cup. Equipment for both sports is made with
grooves in them. The one difference between the two sports that
stands out the most, one requires a nock and the other requires
a niblick to play with?
