' . is AS ,W is s Qi i K K 2C,.f:, 2 Equipment is an important part of every sport. Some sports use equipment to help prevent injuries and others have equipment to enable one to play the sport. Golf is unusual because it re- quires more equipment than most sports. There are many different kinds of clubs, woods, irons, putter, and pitching wedges. A bag is also a mojor piece of equipment, and in ad- dition to that, one must have a ball and a tee. A regulation golf course is 18 holes, each hole having dif- ferent characteristics. There are three different length categories par 3's, 4's, and 5's. The high school golf program has only nine hole matches due to the time limitations of playing after school.
