King James II of Scotland banned the sport, feeling that it distracted men from archery practice. The ban was finally lifted in 1502 when King James IV became a golfer. St. Andrews Links once consisted of only the Old Course, a twenty-two hole challenge that was reduced to eighteen holes Lucas Vazquez Spain Jersey , giving the game the number it has today. There are six course on the links, with a seventh currently in development, making St. Andrews the largest public complex in the world.

History:

It is always suggestible to know what the game is about before you try and learn the game
1. Until the early17th century Juan Mata Spain Jersey , People used wooden balls for playing golf. Then the Featherie ball was invented. A Featherie is a hand sewn cowhide bag stuffed with goose feathers and coated with paint. The Featherie remained the standard ball for more than two centuries, due to its superior fight characteristics.
2. In 1848, Robert Adam Paterson invented the Gutta Percha ball. Gutties had textured surfaces to improve their aerodynamic qualities and where also cheaper to produce. They only replaced feathered balls completely within a few years.
3. In the 20th century, multi layer balls were developed, first as wound balls consisting of a solid or liquid-filled core wound with a layer of rubber thread and a thin outer shell. This design allowed manufacturers to fine-tune the length Jordi Alba Spain Jersey , spin and ?feel? characteristicsof balls. Wound balls were especially valued for their soft feel.
4. These days golf balls are made of cores of titanium compounds, hybrid materials, softer shells and a more pressurized core. They usually consist of a two-three, r four layer designs, consisting of various synthetic materials like surlyn or urethane blends.

Characteristics of modern golf balls:

? The minimum of allowed diameter of golf ball is 42.67mm and its mass may not exceed 45.93g.
? Modern golf balls have a two Isco Spain Jersey , three, or four layer design constructed from various synthetic materials.
? The surface of the ball usually has a pattern of 300-400 dimples designed to improve the balls aerodynamics.
? Materials and the method of construction used greatly affect the ball?s paying characteristics such as distant trajectory, spin and feel.
? Harder materials such as surlyn are used, which result in ball?s traveling longer distances.
? Softer covers such as balata tend to generate higher spin, more ?feel? and greater stopping potential.

Aerodynamics:

? When we hit a golf ball Iker Casillas Spain Jersey , the impact which lasts less than a millisecond, determines the ball?s velocity. Launch angle and spin rate, all of which influences its trajectory.
?The order to keep the aerodynamics optimal, the ball needs to be clean; golfers can wash their balls manually. Mechanical ball washers available.
? Dimples are designed to increase the shape and lift and drag forces by modifying the behavior of the boundary layer. It should be noted that drag and lift forces exists also on smooth balls. Dimpled balls fly farther than non dimpled balls due to the combinations of two effects.
?A ball moving through air experiences two major aerodynamics forces.
1.lift
2.drag
3.Drag slows the forward motion. Whereas lift acts in a direction perpendicular to it. The magnitude of these forces depends on the behavior of the boundary layer of air moving with .
