The most common golf tournament gift is a check especially in professional tournaments. Trophies are also awarded along with sometimes cars or golf equipment and clothing.
it arose by 1878 & perhaps as early as 1857 most likely in Scotland or perhaps England & probably as a contraction of before or else of fore caddie a fore caddie was a caddie who went before or ahead of a golfer to keep track of long shots & prevent lost balls
Good Question. There are several reasons, the two most important probably being that there are already a lot of international tournaments for golf and that there are only a few real golf "superstars", and most may not be able to show up, or not want to miss another tournament, etc.
A major Golf Championship is simply a very prestigious golf Tournament which has been classed as a major. On the male tour there are 4, they are The US Masters, US Open, The Open and USPGA Championship. They are known for their tough conditions and are designed to be the truest test of golf. Nowadays the amount of major championships a player has won seems to be the gauge against which their career is measured. Currently Jack Nicklaus has won the most wit 18 and Tiger Woods is chasing him down with 14.
Golf courses of today's time for the most part no longer offer caddies. Caddies have been replaced by powered golf carts, yardage books, better equipment and highly trained golf teaching professionals. Some caddies have even been replaced by animals: http:/www.llamaweb.com/uses/golfing.html During some special events, some courses will offer a caddie service as a special fund raising type of event. These are a few web sites that advertise special caddie services but you may want to check their references with your local golf course professional: http:/www.caddieconnection.com http:/www.caddychicks.com Note: I owned a golf course until July 2009 and I would not allow outside caddie services on the property. I only had a few people ask for a caddie in 14 years and our local cart boys/girls were more then willing to provide the service. Most of the kids were students trying to pay for college and caddied for tips.
Roberto de Vicenzo had more than 250 pro wins in his career, even though he signed a bad card at the 1968 Masters
