How can a person define something as elusive as perfection–knowing that no one has actually achieved it in this world?

 

In the sport of golf, many have come close, defining themselves by various accolades, broken barriers and attaining the unattainable, but no one has reached complete and total perfection.

 

However, is it not the pursuit of perfection that keeps us coming back to this sport?Looking at all the greats, Jack “The Golden Bear” Nicklaus, Arnold “The King” Palmer and Tiger Woods, the golf world was introduced to some of the most extraordinary golf the world has ever seen.

 

Nicklaus currently holding the record for winning the

most majors in a career holds 18 majors under his

belt. Woods is a close second with 14 majors.

 

Woods also holds the record for 639 consecutive

weeks as world No.1.

 

Nonetheless, where Nicklaus and Woods hold various records and achievements, Palmer maintains the sole heir for being the golfer with the nickname of “The King.”

 

Palmer being known as “The King” won 92 career tournaments but most importantly obtained four Master's Championships 

 

.Now, where most would see these victories as a huge achievement they are still far from perfect.Where Woods achieved 14 major victories and held the world No.1 spot for 639 consecutive weeks, he still strives to attain perfection by pursuing his goals. Surpassing Nicklaus’ major record and Palmer’s Master’s wins.

 

See the pursuit of perfection is a journey towards excellence.Golf has witnessed incredible things that extend beyond human expectations.

 

We look at the past and see golfers such as Francis Ouimet who can be coined as the ultimate underdog, winning the U.S. Open as an amateur.

 

We can gaze at the present and see golfer attempt to gain entry into the prestigious 59 scorers club or even better join the few who have achieved the closest thing golf has to perfection a hole-in-one.

 

The fascination and obsession of golf reside in the pursuit of perfection.

 

The allure of golf will always lie in the golfers drive to pursue perfection.

 

It will lay in the pursuit of victory, the pursuit of glory, the pursuit of the unattainable and most of all the pursuit of perfection.So, where perfection may elude golfers, the pursuit will forever remain.
