In this video the late Fred Astaire, one of Hollywood's most talented dancers of all time, makes the game of golf...while dancing up a storm...look very easy.

Maybe not at PGA TOUR level, but you can see the great man could play and had a low handicap of 10.

Astaire wanted to incorporate golf into a dance routine. "Fooling around at Bel-Air one day," he recalled, "I did a few impromptu rhythm steps just before hitting one off the tee, and was surprised to find that I could really connect that way."

So, maybe the game isn't so difficult after all. It's all about the footwork...

Playing golf from the appropriate set of tees is a great way to derive a lot more enjoyment from the game.

At the same time, how do we really know how to determine credibly what those tees should be for each of us?

Whether you are a 'seasoned veteran' or relatively new to the game, all golfers know that the pursuit of the little white ball around some not-always-fully-cooperative landscape lends itself to the most diversified rules book in sport. 

The rules of golf were originally intended to be simple and straightforward...and with only 13 of them to start off with, for all intents and purposes they were. Of course as time went on and the influence of mother nature became more and more apparent with respect to the eventual resting places that a golf ball would find, more additions to and interpretations of the rules became necessary. 

As a way of helping us learn, re-learn or remember the rules of golf, we are pleased to present 'Golf Rules Cartoons with Tom & Chip'. In 80 cartoons, all the official rules from 1-24 are explained in an amusing and easy-to-understand way.

The R&A and the USGA have unveiled a regular update to the Rules of Golf as they continue to make the Rules easier to understand and apply. The new Rules went into effect on January 1, 2023.

The 2023 edition continues the modernization process, with an emphasis on both inclusion and sustainability. For the first time, the modified Rules for players with disabilities have been fully incorporated into the playing rules without the need to adopt a local rule.

Casper the friendly ghost would make a good golf parent.

As an invisible ghost he could always remain out-of-sight and out-of-mind allowing his golfer to play without distraction.

Often when parents think they are helping or doing what’s best for their player — they are doing the opposite. Negatively getting into their player’s mind and disruptively into their game.

Perhaps as a parent-spectator you don’t realize that you could adversely affect your golfer and their result. Let’s hope that moving forward you will begin to help and not hinder your player.

The game of golf is booming like never before and, if you’re reading this, you likely are one of the thousands who are taking up the game for the first time.

The allure of golf is obvious: it’s fun exercise, it’s a chance to enjoy the outdoors and it’s very social. Like any sport or recreational pastime, it requires you to learn a bit about the fundamentals and to practise if you want to enjoy the game to its fullest.

Here are nine tips to help you enjoy the game. (Coincidentally, nine holes is just the right number for beginners.)

Three-foot putts shouldn't be complicated, but some golfers put too much pressure on themselves when standing over short putts.

In this latest Morning Golf Read series from the shores of Maui, Claude Brousseau says to stop thinking of three feet as a "puking zone," and start using this simple mental trick to give yourself a jolt of confidence.
