2008-05-15 10:59:00
Many beginning golfers, and some more experienced ones, may feel that there is something wrong with their golf swing, but not be sure what to do about it. Many golfers get disheartened at the poor scores that their flawed swing brings, and may seek help from a golf instructor, and feel even more frustrated if that does not solve the problem. Golf swing problems are sometimes down to physical problems, and fixing the root cause is often the best way to improve your swing. Getting To The Root of The Problem The main problem with fixing golf swing problems is to get to the root cause of the problem and not try and rectify them by making adjustments, since unless you get to what causes the problem, it may disappear temporarily and resurface once more after sometime. You can be sure that many of the golf swing problems that golfers encounter are attributable to the mechanics of the golf swing, and the body may be the biggest culprit in this regard. Thus, you need to address the physical asp ...

Three Tips For Choosing The Right Golf Irons
2008-05-13 11:00:00
These days there are the many different styles of golf clubs on the market, which can make it difficult to know where to begin when making a choice. What's important to note is that, it's not about the right iron, but more importantly choosing the right golf iron for you? The bottom line is that you need to choose a club that will work with your current level of skill and one that will suit your preferences, for example you may have problems with your elbow, therefore you might want a club with a graphite shaft, that has a rubber or polymer insert in the head of the club hence reducing the transmission of the impact of the ball, while this may work for you others may think it is crazy. When choosing golf clubs it becomes very subjective and you need to consider these three main factors, the shaft flex, the shaft type, and finally the head design. When these factors are merged together they form the character of your club, which will directly affect your game. Let's examine each factor ...

2008-05-01 06:48:00
A game that is played based on an individual's thinking power and physical strength does require some amount of training. If a person were to think that they dont need any training, they are likely to humiliate themselves on the course. Golf training equipments are created by companies to help people master the game, and to judge their own playing abilities. Be it swinging, or shooting the ball off the tee, judging the speed and distance, all these can be analyzed and studied using the equipments. Since golf is a solo game, it is necessary to learn the small details before stepping onto the course to try shooting a birdie or a hole in one. It is not as easy as it looks, and requires some amount of practice and training just like any other sport.

Secret Move of Golf
2008-04-26 06:46:00
Golfers of all levels are constantly on the lookout for the secret move of golf, the simple tip or trick that will make everything fall into place. People have spent years reading books, watching videos and having golf lessons in an attempt to find the one simple move that will solve all their swing problems. While there is no magic to it, there is one move that is most often described as the secret move of golf because it is the very basis of a good, balanced golf swing. The "move" is to make sure that the left hand is squared or even slightly bowed outwards and firm at the point of impact. While it is all very well to do this in theory and square the left hand up perfectly in a practice swing, it is another thing to make sure the hands automatically reach this position at the point of impact when you are actually hitting the ball. The only real way to achieve this is to regularly carry out some practice drills that will strengthen the wrists and establish a firm set of the wrists at ...

Golf Techniques - Stretch, Don't Strain
2008-04-24 06:47:00
It's that time of year when we start getting out on the course again after the winter layoff, unless you are a sucker for punishment like me and play all year round.

A few minutes spent warming up and stretching your body means you won't have to spend precious weeks recovering when you could be playing.

Measure the Speed of Your Golf Course
2008-04-21 06:45:00
If you are a beginner golfer, there is a good chance you have never heard the terms stimp meter or stimp rating. In fact, the occasional golfer who heads out to the course for leisure may also not know what a stimp rating is. But, a stimp meter is rather important to the speed of a course so it does help to know about it, even if just a little. Now, if you have played golf for any significant length of time, you should have heard experienced golfers mention how a golf green is “stimping.” In short, a stimp meter is a tool used to measure the speed of a golf course. The stimp rating is obtained by rolling a ball down a small ramp (stimp meter) in eight varying directions. The rating is actually the average distance the ball rolls after touching the green. For example, a stimp rating of ten indicates that, based on eight separate rolls, the ball rolled an average of ten feet after reaching the green. Most golf courses that are part of the Professional Golfers Association run at a s ...

Learn About Golf, Its Origin and History
2008-04-19 06:44:00
Have you ever thought about when or where golf originated? Golf actually originated around five centuries ago. In fact, James II of Scotland had banned golf by an act of Parliament in 1457 due to the game’s interference with military combat drills. Historians and avid golfers generally agree that the Scots were the first golfers who became somewhat addicted to the game. However, who actually invented golf is still a matter of debate. Some have suggested that bored shepherds became very skilled at knocking round stones into rabbit holes with their wood staffs. Turning such “entertainment” into a competitive game was seemed inevitable, especially considering shepherds at the time were all men who by nature tend to be quite competitive. As early as the fourteenth century, various forms of the game were being played in France, Holland, Belgium and Scotland. As such, the debate as to golf’s origin is justifiably fueled by several countries not only knowing about golf but also play ...

Gadgets for golf

Golfers need gadgets too! Do they need them? Most will say yes.

Many are made to add to the excitement or make the game seem more fun and alluring to newcomers. Do they work? Some of them do and others simple get in the way. Albeit, fantastically creative and very imaginative, the gadgets that have been introduced into the game of golf lately are a bit cumbersome and distracting to a game where silence and concentration, technique, and style have been the norm. For some, these gadgets serve as a reminder of how much they should attend to their game more. They can be taken as an insult to injury at times. Many of the gadgets on the market arguably have some sort of annoying f ...

Why the Nine-Iron is a Good Golf Iron
2008-04-16 06:44:00
Most golfers have a nine-iron in their golf bag, but perhaps many golfers do not know exactly what its intended used is. This is, probably, even more true for beginner golfers who are still trying to figure the use of every golf iron in their bag. The nine-iron is not to be used if the ball is farther than 130 yards from the green. If it the ball is any further back, he or she would want to choose a seven-iron or eight-iron. Although the nine-iron does have a highly angled club head, for a regular golf iron, it simply does not get the loft you would get from a lofting, pitching, chipping or sand wedge. However, the nine-iron does offer more distance than the wedge clubs. At this point, those new to playing golf may ask why the nine-iron is even included in the golf bag. It is heavy enough as it is. The nine-iron does serve a purpose, though. It is a good short-range utility club that provides good elevation from the fairway and back to the green. It can also be used to chip with and ...

Have more fun playing golf
2008-04-06 06:40:00
It's spring time again. Time to break out the golf clubs and get ready to go. For me that requires a small bucket of balls at the driving range and I'll be ready to shoot in the 80's or lower. As they say it's "like riding a bike". Over the course of many years I have had family and friends ask me countless number of times to teach them to play golf. What that has taught me is that it is not easy to teach someone how to play golf. I have taught countless numbers of kids to play baseball but when it comes to golf it just never worked quite the same. That's what got me to thinking. What is the best thing to tell someone who really wants to learn to play golf at a high level and have more fun? I began by thinking about what had worked for me. This is what I discovered. I have never taken a live lesson. Anything that playing partners have told me over the years I wouldn't be able to recall.

Why should you spend good money on used golf balls? Golfers spend millions of dollars every year on buying new golf balls. There are dozens of brands and varieties out there.

A Beginners Guide to the Golf Course
2008-04-02 06:39:00
Do you want to learn to play golf? Great! In this article I intend to take you on a tour of a typical golf course and to give you a general overview on how the game of golf is played. A round of golf is usually played on an 18 hole golf course. However, there are some golf courses that may only be 9 holes. The players elect to play either 9 holes or 18 holes. If you are a beginner, I suggest you start playing 9 holes as it allows you to get the feel for the game within a respectable time frame. The aim of golf is to hit a golf ball with a golf club and get the ball into a hole with the least number of shots (called "strokes"). The person that gets around the golf course in the least number of strokes wins. Each hole has a "Par", this tells the player the average amount of strokes it should take them to get their ball into the hole. Players hit off from the Teeing ground, most players call it the "Tee". The player will use a golf ball tee to raise their ball to the height of their lik ...
