Essential Golf Etiquette Tips

May 10th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

You can not play golf unless you know basic golf etiquette. I enjoy golf and it’s a lot of fun, but there are some definate rules that you must follow at any respectable golf course. Fail to follow the rules and you may be asked not to return to the golf course.

Here are some simple, basic tips that every golfer needs to know and follow:

1. follow the acceptable dress code. In most instances, a pair of khaki’s and a short sleeve shirt with a collar is acceptable. You do not need an expensive golf outfit in order to play golf.
2. reserve a tee time and show up early. You should never be late for your tee time, golf runs on a very tight schedule. If you are late, it will impact other golfers.
3. keep pace with the group ahead of you. Golf courses frown upon people that play too slow. The best gauge of time is to keep up with the foursome that is immediately ahead of you.
4. do not speak when someone is getting ready to hit the golf ball. Golf is a mental game that requires concentration. There is plenty of time to chat between golf swings.
5. play the ball no matter where it falls. You should never move the golf ball once it is in play. If your ball lands behind a tree, you must take your next shot from behind the tree. Do not move the ball, not even one inch.
6. if your ball does not land on the golf green within par, you should pick up your ball and drop it at the edge of the green. You then begin putting from the green like everyone else. You do not keep hitting the ball until you reach the green, there is a limit on the number of shots you can take. This helps keep the game moving regardless of the expertise of the golfers.
7. when someone is putting, make sure you are not blocking their sun. Make sure you are not casting a shadow over the area of green that is currently in play. This can be very distracting to the putter.
8. make sure you have the minimum required golf equipment in order to play. It is not appropriate to borrow golf balls, golf clubs or tees from other players.
9. if you damage the golf course while hitting the ball, replaced the portion of grass that was displaced. You can easily move the grass into place and step down on it with your foot. This helps maintain the golf course for other players.
10. if your foursome is really slow, consider allowing the group behind you to move ahead of you.

These are some of the basic etiquette tips that you should follow. And above all else…make sure you have fun!

 

Sources of Good Golf Tips

March 29th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or brand new to the game of golf, you probably have a lot of questions. How can I improve my swing, which golf balls are best, which golf clubs are best for my skill level, etc. There are many sources available for you to obtain answers to your questions and golf tips to improve your score. You can find some of the best golf tips, on all topics imaginable, at the following sources:

1. golf magazines;
2. golf books;
3. golfing websites;
4. training videos, books, etc.;
5. take lessons, either group lessons or individual;
6. other golfers who are better than you, etc.

Since there are many sources of golf tips, you will need to do your research before choosing one. There are too many to review them all.

When trying to sort through the various golf tips and training materials available, consider consulting experts to narrow your options. You can start by seeing which training materials are recommended by national golf magazines, the golf channel, golf professionals, golf trainers, your local golf pro shop or other good golfers that you know. Once you find some of the best recommended golf tips or training materials, begin studying them and applying the techniques.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed or confused if you are receiving golf tips from multiple sources, so pick one source and begin using it. Once you have mastered that technique or found the golf tips that work for you, move on to the next source. Noone source has all the right information and golf tips for every golfer.

When I first started golfing, I had taken a golf class and a few lessons from two different people. Although the basic golf swing technique was identical, each source had slight variations which were unique. It was very confusing to perfect by golf swing when I had too many variations to consider. Sometimes too much information can cause more harm than good. Every golf professional has their own unique golf swing, there is no miracle swing that works the same for everyone.

I think the best place to get solid golf tips and training, is a source that you can review over and over again. This may include a golf training video, book or other medium. The point is that you can continuously review the material. Repetition enhances learning, which will allow you to apply the techniques that you are learning. If you merely review the material once, you will likely forget the material and will never implement the golf tips that you are trying to learn.
 
If you can afford to take private lessons on a regular basis, this can also be a great source to obtain the golf tips and training that you need. The key is whether or not it is something that you can repeat on a regular basis with the same person. Different golf trainers have different techniques. When you are just starting out, consistency is probably most important. Once you have the golf basics down and you are ready for advanced golf techniques, you can become more adventurous.

Golf training can include many different areas: your grip, your stance, your swing, reading the golf green and golf specific exercises. It is important to consider all areas in order to ensure that your golf training is well balanced.

Golf Balls Can Impact Your Golf Score

March 19th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Golf balls vary in both internal and external design as well as price. Although they all look the same at first glance, there can be a significant difference in their internal composition which can greatly impact your game. The cover may also differ from one golf ball to another. Differences in the design of a golf ball can impact its loft and distance traveled as well as how the ball performs with different golf swings or different types of clubs.
 
A good golf ball is the result of aerodynamic design.  The ball needs to travel hundreds of yards down the fairway.  The skill of the golfer is a factor in the distance the ball travels, but the design of the ball can also make a significant difference.

All golf balls have dimples on the exterior which maximize the effect of drag on the ball as it flies through the air. In general terms, a golf ball with dimples will go further than one without dimples.

Good Golf Balls Have Advanced Design Features

Every golf ball has dimples, although the shape of the dimples can vary from one ball to another. Golf regulations require a specific dimple design during competition play. The balls currently used by both amateurs and professionals during competition are round. Although other shapes may work well, the round dimple is most widely accepted by golfers today. Golf balls are designed to obtain maximum lift in order to get a longer and straighter flight down the fairway. 

Golf balls are also designed to provide spin on the ball. This can make a difference in the final score of a round of golf. For golf professionals, the design of a ball can result in a better score and higher winnings.

Golf ball manufacturers are continuously trying to improve their designs in order to encourage serious golfers and golf professionals to buy their product. The best golfers constantly test the latest golf balls in order to find the ball that works best for them. The golf ball can make the difference between winning or losing the golf game.

Although a golf ball can impact your game, it will not turn you into a professional overnight. If you have been trying to fine tune and improve your swing, you may try a better golf ball. Buying the cheapest ball is usually not your best choice since all golf balls are not created equal.
