The three lowest priorities to consider when choosing a putter are:
*The kind your best friend, who happens to be a great putter... unless of course you have had a chance to actually putt with it and you truly do like it.
*The one that looks nice or is the latest fad putter.
*The one the tour pro endorses
This is one of the most important considerations when choosing a putter; avoid all three of the above methods of choosing!
Putters have specifications and characteristics that can effect...
•Your Mental Scorecard
Like life, winning at golf is a mental challenge.
You should never be too down on yourself for a loss, anymore than you should become arrogant at a few successes.
The game of golf will help you learn to deal with disappointment and shortcomings in other areas of your life.
Don't ever allow yourself to stop enjoying the time you spend with the game. If you begin to find yourself losing your enthusiasm in this situation, take the time to evaluate and determine out what has begun...
•Golf Basics - The Address
I am sure all of you have seen the old joke showing the gentleman walking up and introducing himself to the golf ball, well thats not what addressing the ball means.
Part of the equation of power and distance you generate in your stroke is created by the distance you stand from your ball as determined by the length of the club.
On a putt you stand close to the ball and on a drive with a longer shaft you stand farther away.
Essentially then, how far you stand from the ball is controlled by...
•Golf Basics - About Greens
Knowing how to drive and putt are not the only things you need to learn about playing golf.
Golf being an outdoor activity you play on a living portion of land, and as in everything else out of doors, Mother Nature loves to play this game.
Grasses are different; you might encounter a plush putting green or a weed patch with little growth at all. The putt can be altered by the texture, length and texture of the grass, and how much grass is actually there.
A true golfer doesnt play only on...
•Golf Tips: How To Play The Sand Shot
A very frequently asked question indeed; how to play the sand shot or the bunker shot.
Before we get to the bunker play tips, I have to preface what you are about to read with but one word… practice. Once you get the basics (which are forthcoming) you’ve got to take the time to practice and gain confidence in the execution.
Believe me; getting your sand play up to a decent level is well worth the time spent on it. With a decent sand game, it is actually more advantageous to be in a bunker...
•Lower Your Golf Score ... Try Playing From The Short Grass
Seriously folks, how often do you birdie or even par a hole after you have launched your tee shot off into the trees or somewhere else in trouble?
Yeah… me either.
Hitting the fairway with a good degree of consistency off the tee is a key to playing a good round of golf. For those of you who even play competitively, you know that this can be no simple task especially under the added pressure of tournament play.
Let’s take a look at a few very simple tips that (if you practice consistently)...
•Getting The Distance On The Driver You Deserve
It’s a common discussion, lament for some, a wish for others… How do I get more distance out of my driver?
Essentially, we all do right? Want to squeeze a few extra yards out of our driver. Big ‘ol long drives right down the middle of the fairway will do wonders for your confidence while administering blows to your competitors. And not only that… a 7 or 8 iron into the green offers a much better chance at a birdie opportunity than does a 5 or 6 iron… the shorter the approach shot the better....
•Golf Is 90% Mental -- The Other Half Is Physical
With apologies and due respect to the great Yogi Berra, I had to borrow one of his lines and adapt it to this article.
Golf truly is such a mental game. Every result you produce is a result of what you alone did. Nobody playing defense on you – No coaches during game time – no screaming fans – just you and your thoughts… swing thoughts.
We all know that the game of golf can produce a myriad of thoughts when it comes to what is or what we want going on in our golf swings.
So many swing...
•Don’t Let The Wind… Blow Your Game Away
Sure it’s nice to head out to the golf course on a beautifully tranquil day where it’s easy figure your yardages and be confident in your club selection. Unfortunately, however, Mother Nature isn’t always so accommodating and you’ll find yourself having to deal with a bit of wind.
When you’re up against a windy day on the golf course, if you let it affect your attitude, you’re going to be in for a long day. Many players do and are. You, however, should not let this happen. First of all it...
•Golf Tips - The Lob Shot
The lob shot in golf is one of the coolest shots to watch.
We’ve all seen a good lob shot executed where the golf ball pops quickly and high into the air then lands ever so softly on the green… like a butterfly with sore feet!
The problem here is that for us mortal golfers this is also one of the most difficult shots to perform. Not to worry though… here are a couple tips on how to play the lob shot.
First… you’ll want to weaken your grip by rotating your grip counter clockwise on the club...
•Effortless Distance With Your Golf Swing
Many times when you hear people talking about getting the most distance out of their drives or irons, you probably hear the word timing used as they talk about how to achieve this. Or, when you watch the professionals play (especially in person) the distance they achieve seems to come so effortlessly and smooth.
Although a discussion of the entire golf swing isn’t within the scope of this article, let’s talk about the timing. Timing is a word that is often bantered about when discussing the...
•Lower Your Golf Score - Simplify Your Putting
Putting is such an important part of your golf score. It is the part of your golf game that itself is a game. In order to become a good golfer… you have to be able to putt well.
Think of your putter as just another club in your bag for a moment. In a normal round of 18 golf holes, let’s say you use this club we call the putter just twice per hole. That’s 36 times you and your putter will have the opportunity to affect your golf score! Are going to hit your driver 36 times? Or your 7 iron 36...
•Get Into A Routine Of Lowering Your Handicap
Certainly there is no shortage of advice and tips when it comes to subject of improving your golf game. I alone am constantly being asked on how to improve on the various parts of someone’s golf game.
Tips and advice, although a good place to start, aren’t the panacea for all that ails one’s golf game. All the advice in the world is only as good as the person’s desire to practice and implement the advice.
Practice is essential. Just playing more and more isn’t practicing. If you’re serious...
