Golf would be after almost 100 years could reappear at the Olympic Games and that may happen in year 2016. The status of Olympic sports is long lost 1904. year as well as many other sports. No warning that this would be a difficult time. There are many conflicting thoughts such as whether to compete only leading PRO players or only amateurs.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) plans to that of 2016. the family of Olympic sports include golf, karate, rugby, Squash, softball, baseball and competition in the rolls. “It was more a candidate for Olympic sports, but the list is reduced to these seven. The attitude of IOC president is, however, that the number of participants at the Olympic Games can not increase. This means that if we want the Olympic program include new sports, some we have to shut down, “said spokesman of IOC. Namely the maximum number of sports in the Olympics 28, thus it is limited and the number of new sports who want to join. According to him, IOC will in the next period to consider the status of 28 current Olympic sports, after which will follow the proposal that some of them deleted from the list. IOC will be in December 2008. send entry forms to address 7 sports federation. Replies are expected in the first quarter of 2009., and in June will be the all seven sports will be invited to the main headquarters IOC in Lausanne in Switzerland in order to better present their sports. The decision about who will go into the family of Olympic sports, but who will come out of it, it will be adopted at the congress of IOC in October which will be held in Switzerland.
Another possible reason of non-inclusion of golf at the Olympics is the fact that IOC thoughts as head golf people did not make a lot as far as doping control on the golf competitions. But key people in the golf experience taught golf and a refusal to Olympics 2012. because of these reasons, introduced anti-doping program that will be a crucial step. Hoping to complete work on the project will be completed and implemented this year through all important world golf competition in order to be able to Switzerland at the highest level to compete with six other sports who want to become an Olympian.
