In the cold months of winter golf, it’s tough to motivate yourself to head to the driving range and work on your swing.

Golf Chipping – Let’s Get The Ball Rolling! As a golf player, it is tempting to try and hit the ball as far as possible with every swing of the club. When you are golf chipping, however, the goal is a bit different. The secret to a good golf chipping shot is to land the golf ball in the correct area of the green that will cause it to roll toward the cup; even if that means aiming for an area that is far from it. Even though we all dream of sinking a chip-in shot from twenty yards out, the reality is that most are not capable of that kind of accuracy. When making golf chipping shot it is very important to see to it that your golf ball lands on the ground as soon as possible. Golf balls that are flying through the air are much more unpredictable than balls that are rolling across the ground. Golf Chipping – Practice Doesn’t Have To Be A Chore We all love going to the driving range and seeing how far we can whack our golf balls. Who doesn’t love spending time on the greens? Regrettably, n...

There is no need for a beginner to buy the golf set that your favorite PGA Golfer plays. Besides the fact that these clubs will be too difficult to play they are also way too expensive. Any money saved on clubs should be used for proper golf lessons, a much better investment by any standard. You are allowed to carry 14 clubs, but you actually don't need that many. The first clubs to leave out are the long irons (3, 4). Your iron set should start with the 5 or 6 iron and go up to the pitching wedge (PW) and sand wedge (SW). For longer shots use lofted fairway woods (3, 5) and hybrid clubs (3, 4, 5). You may find you still hit them all about the same distance, so if you can experiment, test them all to see which ones feel the best. Don't take the ones that you don't hit well and leave them at home. You should still buy them because you will get better and need them later. The right set also depends on swing speed. Swing speeds between 65-80 mph (women, juniors, and some senio...

The marketing of the game of golf to regular golfers is an interesting phenomenon. I can’t think of another sport that puts so much credence on how the equipment can improve or make and break your game. If someone landed here from some foreign galaxy, they would be led to think by much of the marketing that all they would have to do to be proficient at the game would be to purchase the best equipment... and wa-lah... no matter the swing the golf clubs will compensate. Of course, we know this not to be true, however, choosing the right golf clubs for your game and swing is important enough to consider. But, with all the golf club marketing out there going on, what’s a golfer to do? Well, let’s take a look at a few points worth considering when you’re in the process of choosing golf clubs. First of all, know your skill level. If you are just starting out, picking out golf clubs that are designed for an expert or a more advanced golfer will only hinder your progress. More advanced levels ...

This post is to help you understand the importance of how to swing in golf with the proper equipment. I have been telling you about my adventures with my driver since I had a new shaft put on it. Well, I am here to tell you that I got screwed. Yesterday, I went golfing with the boys. We had to play the back nine twice as the grounds crew was on the front nine aerating the greens. Hey, they only charged us $10, so who can complain. The first round we played from the back tees and I used my driver for golf to tee off with on all par fours and fives, But it is like walking a tight rope. The swing has to be just the right speed or I am in the right fairway. That is pretty hard as there is plenty of room between holes. But I hit some spectacular balls high and right. I think I hit three fairway shots and four off to the right. The end result was I shot a 46 and it was quite the struggle. Then when we went to play the back nine again, someone got the bright idea to play from the gold tee. Th...
