Golf is a game like tennis that was played only by the royal family and some other people who belong to the upper class in the society in Europe. This was their means of amusement and they played the game during their leisure time.

Going back to history, with regards to the game equipment such as golf clubs with golf drivers and balls were only made by some specific people who were authorized by a king or queen to make for the whole kingdom. In fact, the person who was summoned by the king to make the equipment is called the royal club-maker.

But when the game’s popularity reached other large countries including United States of America, Canada and Great Britain, production of golf equipment has been improved and with the advent of new technology, innovations have been made to make the golf club and as well as the golf drivers to be more effective during a play.

From wood as a main material, golf clubs are now made of steel, titanium and other more durable materials and this would also lengthen the time of use for the equipment for in the past; the golf clubs were only for one time use because it is prone to breakage because it was mainly made of wood.
