‘ All work and no play

makes Jack a dull boy.’

English proverb.

British like sport very much. They are fond of all kinds of sports. Many sports became popular long ago. In the 19th century sport was organized at public schools so that young people could develop their physical abilities. But shortly afterwards the idea was borrowed by businessmen who started to organize were invented in Great Britain and then spread throughout the world. Sports football and other sports for their workers. From the 1960s commercial companies began to sponsor different British sports and activities. The national British sports are: football, golf, cricket, tennis, racing, darts. Like everyone else the British adore football. Moreover, the Englishmen invented it.

Football is the most popular team game in Britain. The British invented it and it has spread to every corner of the world. There is no British team. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland compete separately in European and World Cup matches. The English and Welsh clubs have together formed a League with four divisions. The Scottish League has three divisions. The champions of the English First Division, and the Scottish Premier Division qualify to play in the European Cup competition.

British football has traditionally drawn its main following from the working class. In general, the intelligentsia ignored it. But in the last two decades of the twentieth century, it has started to attract wider interest. The appearance of fanzines is an indication of this. Fanzines are magazines written in an informal but often highly intelligent and witty style, published by the fans of some of the clubs. One or two books of literary merit have been written which focus not only on players, teams and tactics but also on the

Tennis.Wimbledon.

Tennis is also very popular in Britain. Two different games that do not have much in common bear the name of tennis - lawn tennis and table tennis. Both games first appeared in England, but today the British prefer lawn tennis to table tennis. Every summer, in June, the biggest tournament in the world takes place at Wimbledon. This world center of lawn tennis is located in a suburb of London. Millions of people watch the Wimbledon Championship on TV. Table tennis originated in England in 1880. But the British players are not lucky in table tennis international championships. Englishmen like all kinds of racing. Horseracing, motorcar racing, boat racing, dog-racing, donkey racing are very popular in England. The most famous boat racing in England is between Oxford and Cambridge. It first started in 1820 and has been held almost every spring since 1836. A lot of people come to watch this competition between England's leading universities.

The Highland Games

Scottish Highland Games, at which sports, dancing and

piping competitions take place. They attract large numbers

of spectators from all over the world. These meetings are

held every year in different places in the Scottish Highlands. All competitors wear Highland dress.

English people love cricket. It is attractive

to watch the players, dressed in white.

the games are very long. It is played by 2

teams of 11 each. The game is slow. On

team must bat and the other must field. It is a game for hot June day.

Golf is Scotland's chief contribution to British sport. It is worth noting here an interesting feature of sporting life in Britain, namely, its frequently close connections with social class of the players or spectators except where a game may be said to be a " national" sport. This is the case with cricket in England which is played and watched by all classes. This is true of golf, which is everywhere in the British Isles a middle-class activity.

It is believed that the game of golf originated in Scotland and was invented by shepherds who used staves (future clubs) to drive stones into rabbit holes. Presumably the game existed already in the 14th century, and in the 15th century several laws were passed in Scotland prohibiting the game of goof. In the 17th century, balls were played with sticks in the Netherlands. The game in its modern form took shape in the 19th century in Scotland.

To play golf, a player can use at least two, but no more than 14 types of clubs. In each game, the participant must complete a certain number of holes (usually 18) in a certain order. In this case, the hole itself refers to both the hole in the ground and the entire playing area (usually consisting of the starting area - the teeing area (target), the main area (fairway, cf. fairway) and a special area with a hole cut out in it - a “lawn” (green). The playing area may contain various obstacles - water obstacles, sand bunkers, bushes, trees, tall grass. To begin with, the ball with the player’s identification mark is placed on the starting area (. Ideally, a golfer would typically hit the tee with his first shot, hit the ball a few times (depending on the type of course), and hit the green, an area of ​​perfect grass that allows the ball to roll smoothly. In order to hit the ball into the hole from the green, a special type of club is used - a putter.

Wood - a stick with a massive head and an angle of the impact plane from 7° to 15°. Wood puts the ball into play. Allows you to send the ball up to 300 meters (“Driver”). Iron (English: Iron) is a lighter stick with a spade-shaped head for aiming the ball over shorter distances. The angle of inclination of the impact plane is from 15° to 45°. Clubs are identified by numbers. A larger number allows you to send the ball at a greater angle to the horizon over a shorter distance. Impact distance from 70 to 150 meters. Wedges - differ from irons by an even larger angle of the hitting surface (45°-64°) and are needed for knocking the ball out of sand (Sand Wedge) or grass (Chipping Wedge) at a short distance. Putter - a club with a light L-shaped head for playing on the green and making putts - rolling blows with which the ball rolls into the hole.

The surface of a regular golf ball is covered with pits (in order for the ball to better “hold” the direction in which it was hit) Air is retained in the pits and an invisible shell is formed, which: reduces the vibrations of the ball during flight, enhances the lifting effect when hitting with a twist of the ball Disadvantages of the standard surface: when the club touches an off-center hole, the ball is likely to deviate from the given direction. To solve some problems, researchers have proposed various solutions. For example, instead of pits, Korean scientists propose to put grooves on the ball, which will divide its surface into segments of various shapes (grooves create an air shell according to the same principle as pits). Since the surface area occupied by the grooves is less than the area on which the dimples are located, then, according to the creators of such a ball, the probability of hitting the “wrong” groove with the club is less than the “wrong” dimple

A putt is an easy shot played on the green (the part of the field where the grass is shortest and also where the hole itself is located), the main goal of which is to hit the hole. The swing is the basic golf swing, the main goal of which is to send the ball far and accurately. Slice - a shot in which the ball comes out straight, but then deviates significantly to the right (for a player with a right-handed stance). Par is the number of strokes in which a player must complete the hole. There are three types of “PARS” - these are par-3, par-4 and par-5, the main difference of which is the distance from the tee (starting place) to the hole. Very rare, but still found, par-6s. On average, the distance ranges from 100 to 550 meters. For example par-3 (110 meters), par-4 (320 meters) and par-5 (480 meters). Birdie (“Birdie”) - the number of strokes is one less than PAR. Eagle (“Eagle”) - the number of strokes is two less than PAR. Albatross - the number of strokes is three less than PAR (only on holes par-5 and 4) Bogey ("Scarecrow") - the number of strokes is one more than par. Caddy is a player's assistant whose responsibilities include carrying sports equipment and providing advice.

If to speak about the history of the golf, first of all we must notice that nobody will know the name of the shepherd who was the first to hit the round stone by stick. The authorship of the game name challenged between Scotland and Dutches which had very popular game: Kolven. However it was played on ice too.

And now its time to speak about golf’s rules.Golf is a game in which you need only ball, hole,golf club and a field where all these components unite to get unlimited pleasure. The game begins on the moment when the ball is to beaten by golf –club on specially prepared area, known as play ground “T” to the direction the other prepared area with hole on it, known as “patting green”. That mean shortly cut the grass plat a round the hole. At this time ball's way is crossing two types of plats: “fairway” with grass of medium length and “rough” - long grass from the sides of fairway.The main point of the game is as people say, to pass the hole: that means that the player, beginning the game from T play ground, must to hit the ball into hole, located on patting green with minimum number of strikes. Golf circle consists of 18 games for holes.

Slide description:

There are two types of the game, one of them is defined by parity won and lost holes (match game) and the other defined by total number of strikes made for finishing the circle (game for count of strikes).You must remember three major principles in this game:- Play on a field as it is,- Play the ball as it has lain,- And if nether this nor that is possible, act fair. You must know the rules to act fair.Some time ago such type of golf as mini golf appeared.The mini golf has got popularity almost equal to a golf. There are few distinctions between them. But mini golf is obviously more convenient and available. The basic difference is that min: golf player uses only one golf-club for the whole game. This golf – club is called putter. With the help of which player rolls up the ball into hole. It is often used artificial covering of the field in mini golf.

Golf is one of the most popular outdoor sports in the world. It is played on a golf course. Players try to hit a golf ball into a small hole with as few strokes as possible. Millions of men and women around the world play golf for fun, thousands play tournaments and millions around the world watch golf on TV.

A golf course

Golf courses have different sizes and shapes. Most of them have 18 holes that are between a hundred and 500 meters long. If you have finished playing all 18 holes you have played a round of golf.

Each hole has a starting place, called a tee. This is a small area from which the golfer takes the first stroke or drive. The grass between the tee and the green is called the fairway. Sometimes fairways can be very long and golf players need a few strokes to get to the green. The land on the left and right of the fairway is the rough. It is made up of tall grass, bushes and trees.

The green is the round area at the end of the fairway. It has special grass that is very short. In the middle of the green is a hole. It has a flag placed in it so that golfers can see where it is.

Almost all golf courses have hazards. These are small lakes, sandy areas and bunkers. They make it more difficult for players to hit the ball.

Golf equipment

A golfer needs a ball and a set of golf clubs to play golf. A golf ball is made of rubber and has a plastic covering. It weighs about 1.62 ounces (46 grams).

Golf clubs

In a tournament golf players can use up to 14 different types of golf clubs. Each club is used to play the ball in a different situation. Generally, there are two basic categories of clubs: woods and irons. They are numbered from 1 to 9.

Woods were originally clubs that had a wooden head. Today they have heads made of steel or titanium. Golfers use woods to hit the ball over long distances. A number one wood is also called a driver. Players use this club to start their game at the tee.

Irons have heads that are thinner and flatter. Instead of iron, the club has a head made of steel or another metal. Irons are used for shorter shots and shots where you must play the ball very accurately. The putter is a club that is used on the green for very short distances.

Rules of the game

The rules of a golf game are very simple. Starting from the tee a golfer must hit the ball towards the hole. You must not touch or move it. It must be played from wherever it lands. If the ball lands in one of the hazards the golf player may take it out or use a new ball but then gets an extra stroke as a penalty.

Scoring and handicaps

In order to see how well you do every hole on a golf course has a standard score known as par. Par is the number of strokes it would take a very good golfer to hit the ball into the hole. There are 3-, 4- and 5-par holes. Golfers have special names for the number of strokes they need compared to par.

Eagle = two strokes under par.
Birdie = one stroke under par.
Bogie = one stroke over par.

In a few cases a golfer may hit the ball into the hole from the teeing ground. This is called a hole-in-one.

So if you finish a round of golf on par you can think of yourself as a very good player.

The handicap system allows weaker and better players to compete with each other. Based on a very complicated formula a weaker player is allowed more strokes to finish the round.

Golf can be played in two ways. In match play the player who hits the ball with the fewest number of strokes wins that hole. The player who wins the most holes wins.

Stroke or medal play is more common. In this competition the player with the fewest number of strokes for the whole 18-hole round wins.

History of golf

Although the Romans may have played golf with a bent stick and a ball filled with feathers golf, as we know it today, started in Scotland in the 14th century. Saint Andrews is called the birthplace of golf because its golf course is over 500 years old. The first rules of the game were also set there.

Golf spread from the British Isles to the overseas colonies. The oldest golf club outside of Britain was founded in Calcutta, India. Golf came to the USA and Canada towards the end of the 19th century. Although British golfers dominated the sport at first, great American golfers emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1916 they formed a professional organization, the PGA, in which they started to earn money through golf.

Players like Severiano Ballesteros of Spain, Bernhard Langer of Germany or Gary Player of South Africa made golf popular in Europe and other continents. In the last two decades the American Tiger Woods has dominated the game.

In the 1960s more and more companies, private sponsors and television networks started to pour money into golf. Today the best golfers in the world earn millions of dollars in prize money every year. Tiger Woods became the first athlete to become a billionaire.
