In recent times the advancement of technology has brought about a drastic change in the way we live our lives. Technology has also changed the way we play our sport. This is especially true to the game of golf. Gone are the days when you had to buy a handmade golf club and take your chances at the game. Today you can buy previously manufactured golf equipment that leaves no scope for chance to change your game.
There are golf clubs that are scientifically designed and engineered to produce exactly the same results irrespective of ho uses the club. Results will only differ in HOW you use the clubs this is why there are champions and amateurs. Technology reveals to us the many talents we have hidden in our area of expertise – golf. These talents were hidden from the original players of the game -only because they never had technology backing them. To begin with being able to travel across the miles of golf courses in a golf cart is one of the advantages of technology that our predecessors did not have, being able to do so saves a lot of time and energy, allowing for a better game of golf .
The most prominent effect technology has had on golf is the scientific manufacturing of golf clubs. Modern golf clubs have a lot of detail built into them; details that people never had just 20 years ago. Today technology allows for the use of graphite in the manufacturing of golf clubs. Graphite was not used in years gone by. This has enhanced the game to a great extent. These graphite clubs have greater flexibility a characteristic that is just right for many golfers. Flexibility allows the player to have a more powerful swing due to the reduced trailing weight of the graphite club. The shape of the club has also undergone drastic changes in recent years. A great deal of precision being added to the club the amount of force the club produces can be reasonably measured and fixed.
Golf is a sport that demands a lot of precision. If you want to hit the golf ball perfectly you will have to have that perfect stance, swing and weight shift that the game requires. With the advancement of technology golf clubs can be made to precise weights and grips. The clubs can also be manufactured to deliver precise amounts of force to the ball. Thus allowing the golfer to practice a particular stage and grip on the club leaving the design of the golf club and the weight of it to determine the weight shift, allowing for a perfect shot.
We can possibly be thankful for the advances in technology that have increased the quality of golf in the recent years. Technologically advanced golf accessories have known to make experts out of amateurs and have even produced world champions. So, lets thank our predecessors for laying the foundation of a game we have so come to love and the technologists for perfecting it for us.
