Reading Putting Distance – An Essential Golf Technique

Reading Putting Distance – An Essential Golf Technique

Article by BQ Browning







How often have you been so close to winning a game of golf – there’s just the final putt. You take your time and breathe deeply, you concentrate and contemplate your stroke – and then you come up short! Worse still, you just miss the hole and have to watch your ball go rolling past the hole, leaving you with a return putt that is further than the original to which you gave so much thought and effort. Putting is one of the basic golf techniques that is sadly neglected by beginners and experienced players alike.

A huge number of games are lost on the putting green and in most cases it is down to the wrong distance, rather than to the direction of your ball. One of the great truisms of golf is that ‘You drive for show and putt for dough’. The weight of your putt is just as important as direction. Many new golfers rapidly get a ‘feel’ for the direction their ball will travel and how it will roll, even on the most unpredictable of greens. No doubt you have seen it yourself when a relative newcomer to the game leaves the ball within inches of the hole even on a sloping green time after time, getting more and more frustrated as the game goes on. What you don’t see quite so regularly is a miss with the ball coming to rest a few inches beyond the hole.

Learning to read the distnace on the green is one of the most basic golf techniques there is. So many factors come into play when making up your mind about the distance your ball will travel on the green. You need to factor in the slope, the quality of the green, is it wet and slow or dry and fast. Even the number of players that have been through the green ahead of you has an effect depending on how well they repair their pitch marks. Fortunately with the increase in the use of soft spikes we don’t generally have so many spike marks to contend with these days. Not least among the factors you must consider is the time of day – greens inevitably speed up as they dry off from the morning dew and the difference by afternoon on a warm day can be quite astonishing.

The main factors you have to concentrate on after taking the conditions into account are reading the line and the distance. Reading the line comes with experience of the game and the course. There are a couple of greens on my course that have deceptive swings which always give the local player the advantage as they are very difficult to spot when you’ve not played the course before. Reading the distance should be a great deal easier but it requires one thing that many new golfers don’t like to do – putting practice. Going to the range and bashing balls a huge distance with your driver is great for the ego but it won’t win you a game, and there is nothing more frustrating than leaving those putts on the edge of the cup, even if it’s a friendly round with your regular partners.

Time spent on the practice green is never wasted, especially if you are playing in a tournament. You should always practice on the day, in the conditions that you will be playing and on the type of grass that is on the greens of that course. You will never see a Pro go out on the course without spending time on the putting green and those guys don’t waste their time practicing golf techniques they don’t need to. Even ten minutes on the practice green will give you a feel for distance in the current conditions.

One of my playing partners learned the hard way never to leave the ball short. As a small boy, who didn’t get a great deal of pocket money he occasionally played with some members of his father’s regular fourball. They had a simple but effective system. If your ball didn’t reach the hole, you paid a ‘fine’, not much to them but a lot to a small boy. The winner took the ‘pot’. These days he never leaves a putt short! Quite simply if the ball doesn’t reach the hole – it won’t drop. I was always taught that you should aim about two or three inches beyond the hole and that way it should just roll gently in.

What are domestic long distance calls

What are domestic long distance calls

As we all know telephones are really into a sort of an instrument which really empowers people’s relationship with one another. It is used for communication and can be a tool used for inquiries, emergencies and for pleasuring. People always go for the low and affordable rates of course for them to be able to save and be practical. Though, we all know that it is already a part of our culture to communicate with one another might be personally or indirectly, we also have to consider on how we can be able to save for us not to spend too much in communicating. Well masses commonly go for the right telephone fee and for the plans which they really think could fit their lifestyle, they tend to adjust on it but apparently they really have their way of making it suitable for them.

Folks are too much inclined to some plans which are quite pricey but could give them twice as much benefit that they really could grab as an offer from different telecommunications companies. Business men and women are those whom are really looking forward to best telephone rates offered, and they usually grab it every time they hook their attention to it. It is really important for businesses to have telephones or maybe plans that would really wrap up the clients whom are to be contacted.

They usually are present and would be a need for the company to run smoothly.

You have to put in mind that every business grows through vivid communication and sharing, which we all know are good reasons why telephones were simply created and best telephone rates were offered. Another thing is for loved ones whom are not staying in one roof, state or country maybe. You have to consider it as a requirement for everything to be the same and consistent communication can really be a strong hold for a relationship.

Though, there are some which are considered as disadvantages like having party lines or bad experiences with telephones but whenever best telephone rates are being offered, then people will really grab it with both hands for the disadvantages will be overlapped by advantages because of its usefulness. It is important for you to know the rates that could really help you save and give you less expense, but you have to consider how it can really benefit you and the people around you by these best telephone rates.

How to Make Your Long Distance Relationship Succeed

How to Make Your Long Distance Relationship Succeed

When it comes to love, it really isn’t always a small world, after all. But for those willing to literally go the distance for a relationship with someone far away, there are things you can do to make it work, because it absolutely can.

The first thing to think off is that, if you and your partner are willing to even consider the idea of being exclusive while not able to see each other regularly, there is already potential for a successful long term relationship. This still doesn’t mean that it will necessarily turn out as you hoped, but if you put in the effort and follow these tips, the relationship can survive and thrive despite the distance.

We Have The Technology.
In 2010 you can see and talk to people a million different ways no matter how far apart you are geographically. Use video chat and ask your love one onto Skype dates. Go on instant messenger and have a music swap with your guy or gal (and send them only music that will make them think of and miss you!) Text or call and make sure you connect with them every day. (You should also be sure that the burden of making contact is pretty equal, because the person who barely communicates may be losing interest in the relationship.)

In My Dreams, I’m Christmassing With You.
…Or Hanukkahing, or Valentine’s Daying, or whatever the occasion may be. Make sure your birthday gifts to your lover get to them on time and are extra thoughtful. Record a “Happy ___” video and send it to them, or send cards for even the most unimportant holidays. The holidays are a time for us to let people know how much we care, so don’t hesitate here!

Have A Little Faith.
Don’t cling to your partner, stalk them online or obsess about whether or not they’re cheating. They’ll find this clinginess annoying, or may even thing that you’re only suspicious because you would do something untrustworthy.

Have Your Own Life.
We’re not saying to give that new hottie the eye if you want this relationship to work! But do stuff on your own, with your friends and in your area so that you always have great news for your boyfriend or girlfriend about your latest endeavours. It will give you something to talk about, and remind them how awesome (and worth the long distance relationship) you are.

Love with Long Distance Between

Love with Long Distance Between

This is not a game for two.  It can be so very hard at times to see those cute couples walking down the street, holding hands, dancing together, going to an event you just have to go to, goodness forbid a wedding because they always try to hook you up with someone.  Your friends and yes, even your family, are going to question you constantly and look at you like you have two heads, because you’re waiting on your love to come home and are so very far apart. It seems that when they can’t see you together, they want to pressure you into dating someone.  There can be NO other consideration of other people.  That will cause resentment and question each other’s devotion. 

Two in love can make it but it takes thought, imagination, and perseverance. It even takes sometimes turning away when you see that couple and your heart breaks in two for your longing. It’s the only thing you can do in your day.  But hang in there.  It will end and you and your love will be together again.

Both of you have to stay positive, remember your love and above all else…..COMMUNICATE!!  Distance may be between you but you can’t let it distance your hearts and let each other go.  Phone calls can get very expensive very quickly.  These days there are so many ways to stay connected: email, video mail, texting, sms, black berry, instant messaging, just to name a few.

Even if your love is away working so very hard, either one of you can send simple one line text messages through the day just to simply say, “Hi, I’m thinking of you” or how about “I miss you”.  It’s not expensive nor does it take a lot of time. You don’t even have to do it 100 time’s day or even every day.  It’s not hard but it does show how much you care.  Something so simple can show so much.  Sometimes, it’s just enough to have that to hold onto and know your love misses you and thinks of you too.  It may keep your loved one going for another week even.  Your text may even be the bright spot in his otherwise busy work day. 

Why don’t you, once in a while, text or instant message her that you’re going to give her a special call that night at a particular time?  It’ll lift her/his heart and give you both a bright spot to look forward to in your day.  Just make sure you make that call and don’t leave her hanging.

Sending him or her pictures of yourself, your home, kids, etc and letting them in on the daily grind is a great way to stay connected and keep them part of your day. Don’t complain and gripe about things all the time.  Keep it light.  He can do the same in return if he gets a chance. Just remember to always make sure that you combine this with some good old fashioned wooing.  That’s right wooing. 

Find one of his favorite quotes, maybe some Shakespeare, Longfellow, Tennyson, lyrics to a song you’ve just heard on the radio that made you think of her.  Be romantic.  Now is NOT the time to keep your heart hidden.  In a long distance relationship you are even more vulnerable to your love because you have to wear your heart on your sleeve in your communications.  You can’t just go on the, “she knows I love her”.  That’s hard even in a daily relationship. This helps to keep him knowing that your love is still strong and that she is in your heart.  It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, although the occasional one does help.

I won’t lie to you, there will be times that you will cry yourself to sleep because you miss him so much.  You’ll wonder about them, what they are doing, how they are, who they’re with, are they having fun.  Don’t let doubts and nasty thoughts cloud your love.  Let them know you think these things but that they are only fleeting because of your own insecurities.  When it gets to be way too much and it seems like your crashing, that’s when it’s even more important to communicate with each other and visit.  Yes he may be away, far away, but there are always ways to get back home and to each other. Why not take a trip yourself and go visit him.  Think with your heart and let it lead you to do those “foolish things”, those “romantic things” which will last you both a lifetime.

I know that every time my phone rings or a message comes in on the computer or cell, I get butterflies in my stomach just hoping it’s him.  I get all twitter patted at the thought the weekend is coming and maybe, just maybe, he’ll come home to surprise me.  Keep that anticipation alive and communicate your love and longing to one another.  You’ll make it through.  Your distance and separation from one another is temporary and may feel like a lifetime, but don’t forget that it does have an end date.  Love isn’t supposed to have an expiry date.  Let her know yours is unending and true.

The Top Ten Golf Balls for Distance

The Top Ten Golf Balls for Distance

Low scores in golf can be achieved by getting the most out of each club in your arsenal. If you can get the most distance out of each shot you will be able to make fewer shots at the beginning, allowing you to have more chances at scoring on the green. One important factor for getting more distance is the golf ball that is used.

Most new players I have seen fall victim to choosing the wrong ball. Most of them believe they “need more spin”, thinking this will help them hold the green on their approach shots. The truth is the majority of these players should focus less on spin and more on distance.

Why is that you ask. Well, for one most amateurs rarely hit the green with their approach shots and are often running the ball up to the green which requires no spin at all. Excessive spin will actually hurt the player during these follow-ups.

Secondly, if the player has too much spin coming off the tee it will make an inadequate shot that much worse. For example, if you tend to slice the ball or fade it, a high spin ball will turn a fade into a slice and a draw into a hook. To compare, if you were using a ball with low spin and much greater distance potential, you will find that your shots are much straighter and longer.

Consider our list of the top ten golf balls for distance below, and find the ball that helps you achieve maximum distance and performance on the green.

1. Taylor Made Penta TP: The Penta does everything well. This ball has everything: great distance, perfect spin, a beautiful launch.

Off the tee, it will provide massive distance while it is perfectly suited for short shots with enough spin to score lights out. My preferred ball before coming across this was the Pro V1x, and after playing with both I have to say you can’t go wrong with either.

2. Titleist Pro V1x: This is my go-to ball, and I love it. This ball is a great all-around ball, and is second only to the Penta. The Pro V1X is a ball designed for the lower handicapper to professionals. Although all levels of players love to say “I use Pro V1X”.

The Pro V1x has both a soft feel to it and great spin and distance potential, making it the perfect ball no matter where on the course you happen to be. I prefer a ball with a lot of spin for some special shots I try around the green, so this ball has a great bite to it. The average to high handicappers usually get tripped up on this aspect because their approach shots do not “run out” like they expect and they come up well short.

Popular or not, I would not recommend this ball to the new or average player. This is the only reason I didn’t rank my ball #1. But, once you know just how this ball will react to your swing, you really can’t go wrong with it.

3. Titleist Pro V1: Titleist made another good ball when it came up with the V1. The only reason this ball landed in the #3 position is its distance is about 1.4 yards shorter than the V1x.
The V1 is better for a player with a high handicap than the V1x as it is more durable and has greater launch potential.

4. Callaway Tour i (z): Drag is reduced on the ball by its hex-shaped dimple design, which helps increase distance. The ball is soft yet durable while providing great distance off the tee and high spin with scoring clubs. If you are a fan of Callaway products you can’t go wrong with this ball, no matter your skill level.

5. Taylor Made Burner: I was very happy with this ball when I tried it out over the summer. This ball achieves amazing distance with its low drag characteristics and low-compression core.

It was comparable to the Pro V1x in nearly all areas that count.

6. Callaway HX Hot Bite: This ball sports the same hex dimple design as the Tour i (z), giving it great distance potential due to its low drag characteristics. It is a favorite amongst players of all levels but especially with those who swing their clubs at average speed.

7. Bridgestone e6: I have friends who swear by the e6 and they say they prefer it over the Titleist ProV’s. The ball is designed with an anti-spin layer, giving the ball great distance and perfectly level flight.

8. Srixon Z-STAR: I was not initially impressed with the hype surrounding this ball. After trying it out I’m willing to admit that it lives up to it. I played awful that day, so I am sure it skewed my review, but overall not bad.

The average player will benefit from the low compression core on the Z-STAR, which gives the ball greater speed and distance.

9. Callaway Big Bertha Diablo: This ball just keeps going! The ball has very little spin, giving it amazing distance off the tee. This ball cannot be matched if distance is all you are looking for.

10. Titleist DT SoLo: This golf balls compression statistics are extremely friendly to players with low swing speeds providing great distance for the low-to-average swing speed golfer.

Many factors determine what golf ball is good fit for an individual player. For example, golf balls compression statistics is an important factor. This is how much club head is required to activate the ball’s specific layer, typically the core for distance, in order to get the desired characteristics. The only way to determine which of these balls is best for you is to get out there and try them!

Take the time to play a round or two on a course you know in order to compare the shots. You won’t get an accurate idea of how good the ball is for you unless you do this.
Now, get these balls and get to it! You now have a great excuse to play a lot more golf.

Longer Driver Distance – Five Tips on How to Hit a Draw For Duffers

Longer Driver Distance – Five Tips on How to Hit a Draw For Duffers

The draw shot is popular shot shape for those golfers who want more distance. All other things being equal a tee shot hit with a draw will travel about twenty yards farther than a fade. Distance is king in golf and that extra twenty yards might be the difference between a 5-iron approach and a 7-iron approach.

A draw is different from a hook. The hook moves hard to the left in a totally uncontrollable fashion. The two may be related but like your rude Uncle Harry, the hook is not a member of the family we’re proud of. The draw moves about ten yards right to left while the hook can move more than the width of the fairway.

Strategically the draw shot allows the right hander to eliminate the right side of each hole as the draw moves from right to left. So all the trouble the architect built into the course to challenge those with a slice is not in play for those with a draw.

At my home course here in Charlotte, NC nine of the fourteen driving holes (excludes par 3s) a draw is the best shot shape. I have learned over the past year or so how to hit a draw with the driver and that has meant a lot to my improved scoring.

Let’s discuss five important elements to hitting the draw shot so you can improve your scoring too.

How to hit a draw

• Adjust your alignment – Align your stance along the line where you want the ball to begin. This will be closed compared to where you want the ball to finish. All of your body should be aligned together on this same line: feet, knees, hips and shoulders.

• Aim the clubface – Aim the clubface to where you want the shot to finish. The clubface will be closed to the initial line of flight.

• Swing path – Swing along your body as you would normally.

• Grip – Don’t bother with strengthening your grip as some suggest. The only adjustments required are those mentioned above.

• Ball position – Ball position will help determine the ball flight along with angle of attack. Move it a bit forward for a higher shot or toward the back for a lower shot. A word of caution though: it is much easier to hit a low draw than a high one.

Remember that the draw adds distance. You’ll need to consider that fact when making your club selection on iron shots. It will fly a bit farther but roll a lot more than a normal shot.

I would suggest that you groove this shot on the range prior to taking it to the golf course. These tips on how to hit a draw will help you play better golf and improve your golf handicap.

Can’t share all there is to shot making in this one short article of course. You’ll find more free tips to help you improve your golf swing here: How to Hit a Draw
