(“Gary Player”). Golf is a sport that many people play into the late years of their life. George Blanda was the oldest person to play professional football at 48 years of age (“10 Of...NFL History”). The difference between the oldest golfer and the oldest football player is due in part to the injuries and physicality of football. The physical demands, concepts, and playing fields of football and golf are uniquely different. I relieve stress in different ways while playing football and golf. In football
Are you a person that likes excitement, and watching people do amazing things with a round ball that you can hold in your hands? Or, are you someone that likes to watch all the fortunes and misfortunes that can happen in a round of golf? Have you heard the great names of Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan? These men are said to be people who changed the sport they played in for all time. Both of these men are great athletes and they were very dedicated players.

His father, Earl Woods, began teaching his son the game when he was just a year old. In fact, Tiger's skills were so good at such a young age that it landed him an appearance on the Mike Douglas Show in 1978. The two-year-old Woods' appearance put him up against legendary comedian Bob Hope in a putting contest. At three, he shot a 48 over nine holes at one of his

At age 10 he started playing golf and was shot a 51 on his first nine holes, which is what the average golfer shoots.

Jack was able to get golf lessons by a Sccioto club pro Jack Grout, and won the

The United States women's national soccer team earn as little as 40% of what the men’s national team made (even after they went to the team’s third World Cup championship). Goalkeeper Hope Solo says, “The numbers speak for themselves. We are the best in the world, have three World Cup championships and four Olympic championships. They get paid more to just show up then we get paid to win major championships.” A men’s player receives $5,000 for a loss in a friendly match. They can receive as much
The Lack of Women's Sports Coverage Can women's sports establish itself as a topic of on-going media and journalism curiosity? Currently TV stations do minimal coverage of women's sports, while newspapers and magazines do just a little bit better.
