Happy National Golf Day, everybody! Today we celebrate one of the few sports in the world that can be enjoyed by anyone — regardless of age or skill level. Never been on a golf course or range before? Here are three (of the many) reasons you should give it a try:
1. Whacking balls with clubs is fun.

3. Having the Wasatch Range as your backdrop will make you cry tears of joy.
