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.

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.

•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 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!

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.
