How to Take Advantage of Demo Days at Your Local Driving Range Or Golf Club

How to Take Advantage of Demo Days at Your Local Driving Range Or Golf Club

Golfers are a funny breed of people. No matter what clubs they have in their bag it’s never good enough. Modern technology, with titanium inserts, appear to be revolutionizing the game and so the golfer looking to maximize their chances is forever on the lookout for the best advantage through technology. Demo days are an ideal way to keep up to speed with the latest golfing technology allowing golfers of all abilities to gain that extra advantage.

Demo golf days

Demo golf days or demo days are usually put on by golf clubs or driving ranges and are the perfect avenue to see what clubs or drivers are best for your game. But you need to go in there with a game plan if you are serious about upgrading your equipment and finding the perfect set of clubs or new driver.

At the outset you want to concentrate on just one aspect of your game. If you need a new set of irons then make that your focus and vica versa if you are looking for a new driver or hybrid club then put all your efforts into that. You will need the extra time and concentration to really differentiate between the various options on the day.

Let’s say you are looking for a new set of irons. Make sure to do plenty of research online before heading down to the range and golf review sites will give you that perfect opportunity. With your research in hand you should be focusing on only 3-5 different irons sets ensuring you don’t have too many options.

Get your swing in the groove

Ideally your swing should be in the groove, meaning you want to head down to the demo day with a good understanding of where you are hitting it. The more consistent you are hitting it prior to the demo day then the better chance you’ll have of working out whether or not the upgrade is worth the expense.

No time for idle chit chat

Once you are down there, keep the chit chat to a minimum and have a handful of questions ready to fire for the club manufacturers that you have researched. Grab a couple of buckets of balls from the driving range and begin some testing. At this stage don’t rush into it. Be sure to use your own clubs as alignment guides on the ground. By doing this you’ll be confident that you are aligned in the right direction. Nothing worse than hitting the first 20 balls with big hooks only to realize it’s not the clubs it’s your alignment.

Draws, fades, high and low shots

Now that you have all the basics set up start hitting some shots alternating between the various clubs you’ve short listed. Consider distance control, ball flights and the feel off the clubface. Once you gain some confidence in the direction you are hitting it start to work the ball both left to right and right to left. Throw a fall high shots and punch shots in there with each and you should have a good idea of the suitability of each club. That is how to take advantage of the free demo days at your local golf club or driving range.

How to Drive a Golf Ball Straight

In the game of golf, your golf club will be your steering wheel. If you use it properly you will be able to direct the golf ball in the right direction. For long range shots, the hardest part is to drive your golf ball straight and as far as possible. To achieve this, one must have perfect stance, position and grip. A different kind of golf club is also needed for long range shots, which makes it even harder.

To fully achieve this, all you need is practice. You just have to do it over and over again, to get a feel of how it should be done, since golf has just one step: to swing the golf club.

Here are some tips to help you execute the perfect drive:

Using the right golf club. When you start buying your very first golf clubs, they usually come in a set. Each golf club has its own specific use in the golf course, and for this task a golfer should master how to use his driver. The driver is the longest club in the set, and has been proven to be the hardest and toughest to learn. Because of its massive size, it makes hitting the ball a daunting task; even professionals find it difficult to do. Being comfortable with using your driver is the best way when one wants to learn how to drive the ball straight and far. Once you feel comfortable with your equipment everything will follow. For beginners, it is ideal to pick a driver with a longer body and a bigger head, this makes it easier to use. As you master the skill, then you can go to use drivers which are developed for skilled golfers; they usually have slimmer heads.

Accuracy and sense of direction. Getting the best driver is useless if the golfer has no sense of accuracy. You don’t just hit a ball and expect it to go far away. When playing golf, you need to have a destination. The location of the flag and golf hole will determine the strength of your swing: the farther the hole, the stronger your swing should be. This can only be mastered by practice. Doing it over and over again will help the golfer get a feel of how strong or how weak a swing should be, the player should also be accurate when it comes to knowing how weak or strong a swing should be.

Stance. Stance is crucial when hitting the ball. A golfer should have a good feel of the ground, and a good positioning of the body is needed in order to create the perfect swing which will in turn create a straighter and farther drive. For longer shots, a golfer should position his feet farther apart and bending his knees slightly for shorter range shots. Focus on the ball, take a deep breathe, swing your club, and hit that golf ball as far as possible. A good stance is the best base for a longer and straighter drive.

All other external factors. Making a long, straight drive is also affected by other elements other than you. The winds and weather on a specific day can greatly affect your performance. It is always best to go and practice your drives on a sunny, windless day. This way your ball doesn’t slow down while it is in the air. Professionals already know how much harder they should swing or hit the ball on days when the winds are strong. To overcome this, one just needs a lot of practice. You can start playing in different kinds of weather and master the techniques in hitting a ball straight even in the harshest of weathers.

Grip. A good grip on your driver can also help create that perfect drive that we all want to achieve. Since the driver is the longest club, gripping it even tighter is needed. Because of its size, if you don’t get a good grip on it, downswings can become great disasters. Some first timers end up losing grip of the driver and eventually send it flying in the air. The basic rules for gripping still stay the same; a tighter one is just needed for this.

Safe Caravan Driving for Australia plus Concentration and Fatigue Symptoms

Safe Caravan Driving for Australia plus Concentration and Fatigue Symptoms

Article by Ian Molloy









Safe driving is essential at all times, but when towing a caravan your driving conditions change. Take some time before you travel to re-acquaint yourself with road safety rules.

AUSTRALIAN ROAD RULES

Road rules are consistent right across Australia, but some rules vary to suit local conditions. For example, in the Northern Territory there are a lot of out back roads that have no speed limit. In Melbourne, vehicles must do a “hook turn” by pulling to the left and not queuing across tram tracks when turning right. This enables trams to continue on smoothly and not be stuck behind vehicles wishing to turn right. You are also not allowed to overtake trams on the right and must stop behind a trams when it is stationary if there are no “passenger isles. For more information on road rules, and the differences between States and Territories, contact the National Road Transport Commission

CONCENTRATION

For continual safe driving by observing the following tips can help to keep your focus on the road, avoiding the biggest single cause of all road accidents:

Wear lightweight, non-restrictive clothing Wear good quality anti-glare sunglasses. Drive with both hands on the wheel all the time. Sit at a comfortable distance from the wheel. Make all seat, belt and rear-view mirror adjustments before you take off. Do not allow conversations to distract you – resolve issues likely to prove contentious before you take off, or pull over if something comes up that cannot wait. Do not use a mobile phone while driving.

FATIGUE

Fatigue is a killer. Driving while tired is a major contributor in up to 25 per cent of serious road accidents. Studies have shown that very tired drivers are as bad as drink drivers. To maintain safe driving and avoid driving fatigue, observe the following tips:

Take a 10-15 minute break every two hours and a longer break every four hours. Limit driving to a maximum of 10 hours per day. Get plenty of sleep before you travel. Do not drive when you would normally sleep, such as very early in the morning or late at night. Have nutritious snacks every couple of hours, rather than big meals at longer intervals. Share the driving if possible. With another driver the distance you must drive is halved. Watch out for fatigue symptoms such as daydreaming, drowsiness, sore eyes, boredom, restlessness and aches and pains. Self-awareness is crucial to staying safe.

How to Build a Driving Range in Your Home or Garage

How to Build a Driving Range in Your Home or Garage

Article by M Putterman







If you play golf, it can become an obsession. Whenever you pick anything thin and cylindrical up your hands immediately go for the overlap or interlocking grip. Golf becomes second nature. When you see a giant rolling field you can’t help but think, “Whoa, that area would make one awesome back nine.” As much as you like getting out to the golf course, or even just the range it isn’t always an option if you don’t have the spare time. Public courses and driving ranges can be extremely expensive (The closest public golf course to my home town in Wisconsin is up to 500 dollars a round). Even if you can’t always make it to the range, it doesn’t mean that you can’t be practicing. Let’s set the record straight on what practicing is and isn’t, practicing is not taking swings on your lawn with no target and no ball. You might improve your form, but when it comes time to actual hit a golf ball the whole process will feel alien. If you don’t regularly practice making contact with a golf ball you aren’t really practicing. You need to be able to hit real golf balls with real golf clubs to get real practice.There is a simple and easy way to set up an at home driving range that is safe and can be used all year long. If you are a homeowner and you have access to a garage or basement that provides enough height to be able to comfortably swing a golf club while inside, you are in the clear. By getting a few weighted safety nets and a synthetic turf matt with a built in tee, you can have your own driving range that is accessible twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. Imagine being able to practice hitting your 3 wood in the comfort of your own home. Any reputable sporting equipment dealer or internet golf retailer should have golf netting in stock. These weighted nets can handle golf balls being hit into them at maximum velocity. After the ball hits the net, it falls to the ground and stays by the netting for easy collection. Even though you can’t see where the ball would have ended up if it wasn’t stopped by the net, you can still tell when you make a good, solid, clean connection with the club face. If you have a tall enough ceiling you can string up an area as little as twelve feet by ten feet and have the perfect place to practice all year long. The instillation process is simple and all you really need is a hammer or a power drill, some hooks and the golf netting itself. It’s important that you use actual weighted golf netting and not random netting that you can purchase from other retailers that wasn’t expressly made for capturing golf balls. Other types of nets may let golf balls through the netting, which could damage your walls or even break a window. By using real golf netting you are making sure that accidents won’t happen.Even if you are a member of a golf club, or have a fairly accessible public course right by your home, those courses won’t be open during the off season. Imagine the upper hand you can get if you were to practice all year round, you could perfect your golf swing while your buddies are getting pudgy sipping hot coco by a fire place!
