Golf Clubs Buying Guide - ...you can carry up to 14 clubs (in your golf bag, of course), but most players carry the standard set which consists of 12 clubs, including Driver, Fairway Woods, Irons, Wedges, and Putter clubs. 1) Driver (aka the #1 Wood) - The driver is your power club and is used off the tee. Its head is larger and heavier than that of other clubs, which means you can hit the ball farther. Drivers have varying weights and loft angles. Most drivers have a loft angle of 9-13 degrees, which does the job for non-professional golfers. 2) Fairway Woods - Fairway woods are the 3 and 5 woods, as well as the 7, 9, and 11 woods, which are utility woods. In general...

Tips on Choosing Golf Clubs - ...are many different brands and types of clubs, consulting with your local golf pro and golf shop would be a good guide. Also, try using a friend's clubs once or twice and determine how they feel at contact with the ball. This can help you scope out brands that work well for you. Remember that popular brands may be so well known because they are good quality, or they may invest heavily on advertising. Select a brand should be based on its fit with you, both on a physical level and economical level. Don't purchase equipment just because of the name. It is your skill that makes the final difference, not the stenciled...

Becoming A Better Golfer - Improve Swings

Do you need help improving your golf swings? Have you reviewed your golf swings and are not happy with your results? Reviewing your swings and recognizing the need for more or better golf instruction is your first step to becoming a better golfer.

For some of us it is difficult to admit we have developed bad habits or have gathered misunderstandings which are affecting our game. The game of golf demands constant improvement and refinement to accomplish successful swings.

To not offend you, I will speak for myself. I admit I can be stubborn and I will keep digging myself deeper and deeper into a rut because I keep telling myself that practice and time will help me to becoming a better golfer. The truth is I am getting worse. If you are anything like me, there is a point when reality needs to be faced and corrective measures taken.

All the practice and time in the world will not correct a poor golf swing because I am doing it wrong and I cannot or am not able to see the fault or faults causing me not to improve.
The error does not have to be major. Often times, it is a small inaccuracy.

Like most golfers I still try for perfectionism. And I so want to have the perfect golf swing. You are probably trying to do the same.

Have you discovered, as I have, that by trying "too hard" we become very tight and frustrated in both our physical and mental attitude?

If you have not done it as yet, it is worth a trip down memory lane to evaluate your personal improvements and accomplishments. Ever since the first day of playing golf, I found this to be a great way to help relieve unnecessary self-induced stress and tension.

Think about:

  • The first day we played golf and how it felt good just to hit the ball
  • The day we stopped creating divots every time we attempted to hit the ball
  • We were pleased the day we hit a long distance ball
  • We graduated from hitting the ball away from the target
  • How about the day we landed the ball into the target?
  • The day we won all bets

Everybody needs a refresher help course with their golf swings.

Help or instruction may be needed with our:

  • Grip
  • Stance
  • Body alignment and posture
  • How, when, and where to focus on club head, golf ball, or target
  • Golf swing biomechanics
  • Mental and physical health and wellbeing
  • Mental attitude and mental focus
  • True corrections and tips
  • Updated equipment

Do not forget that there are good days and bad days. Today we may need to recognize the necessity for instructions from a professional golf instructor.

I can recall when it was hard for me to not listen to my well-meaning buddies. I did not want to hurt their feelings. However, there comes a time when a person needs professional training.

Professional lessons are offered at public golf courses, community schools, golf seminars or workshops. Private classes in the privacy of your home or office with a professional golf instructor may be preferred. Or online video and audio instructions may also be considered.

How to Play Bunker Shots From Deep Greenside Bunkers - ...decided on the direction you want to play the ball you next need to consider the technique required. The high splash shot is what is required from deep bunkers, using your sand wedge. You will need to adjust your stance to the slope (if any) of the sand. Aim to position your shoulders as close to parallel to the sand as is comfortable. Stand open at address with the club face square, or slightly open, to your target. Shuffle your feet into the sand for a solid base and remember to keep your legs relaxed and flexed. If the bunker lip in front of you is sizeable, swing high to hit high. Use the splash shot with confidence and accelerate into the sand...
