  World Golf Hall of Fame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Golf Hall of Fame was originally located in Pinehurst, North Carolina, and was privately operated by Diamondhead Corp., then owners of the Pinehurst Resort.
The Hall of Fame of Women's Golf was established by the LPGA in 1951, with four charter members: Patty Berg, Betty Jameson, Louise Suggs, and Babe Zaharias.
The first five women on this list were grandfathered in from the Hall of Fame of Women's Golf, which was founded in 1951, via the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame, which was inaugurated in 1967.

Greg has a junior golf foundation in my home state of Queensland, and it only had just been up and running I think just that one year, and they have a season-ending tournament, which now is one of the biggest junior tournaments in Australia.
The golf course usually asks the most out of your golf game, and generally more often than not, the winner that week is someone who is going to have an outstanding career or already has.
Golf is a great game because you can have your own personal goals without having to worry about what anyone else is doing, and obviously with the handicapping system and stuff like that, your goal each year is to get down to a certain handicap.
