I was looking through some sites to find out why certain sports are not in the Olympic but it seems that they were before! One of the sport which was included but was long taken out was golf. Golf today is seen as a popular sport usually seen among the rich because of its expensive participation in it. To be able to play a game of golf, one have to play at the country club. The equipments to play golf usually require a certain sum of money as well. The game of golf is a very tactical game where the player sometimes have to take into consideration the wind factor before hitting the golf ball. They also need to know the strength required to land the ball on the area they want and the accuracy as well to put the ball into the holes eventually.
