So just what is it about golf that has around 50 million people hooked around the world? It's proved itself to be the hard drug of the sports world - once those aspiring rookies take their first swing, there's no stopping them as they turn into club-bearing zombies. Could it be the prestige of playing a rich man's sport? The equipment is certainly not cheap and golf club membership fees are understandably high for the privilege of wandering those manicured fairways. Or could it be for its association with networking? It's a great relaxing way of bonding with your buddies or having a business meeting outside the confines of the stuffy boardroom. Last but not least, there's a lot to be said for the sense of personal accomplishment that comes from a sport of such great skill and precision. Golf is considered the easiest game to learn but the hardest to play; as Sir Winston Churchill put it, "Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose."
