How To Cut Costs When Playing Golf But Not Lose the Fun

Article by Tony Trussol









Golf is a tremendous past time and a good way of getting regular exercise but it can be an expensive hobby. Golf clubs can be dear and if you are a member of a particular course or club, there are membership fees to consider as well. Throw in accessories, clothing and other sundry costs and the price of a good day’s golfing can start to add up quickly. Thankfully, there are ways to cut the cost of playing golf without diminishing the quality of your game or your skills.

Quite often some golf clubs will run a promotion where access to the course is available at a cheaper rate. By looking around for discounts and great deals, you may find that the cost of playing golf becomes a lot cheaper. These discounted offers can usually be used by a number of players, which provides the perfect opportunity to play with friends for a low price.

Some golf courses charge more for certain memberships or for using the course on certain days or times. If you are able to use the course at a variety of different times, you could be able to play for cheaper and find that the course is quieter too.

Buying in bulk and taking advantage of discounted prices for bigger deals is something that is well worth considering. If you have a lot of friends that play golf, it should be possible to arrange a discounted price for large orders from many golf shops or manufacturers. This could lower the price of golf balls, tees and many of the accessories which help to make life on the golf course easier.

When it comes to golf clubs, the most expensive does not necessarily equate to the best. There are many good bargains to be had when it comes to buying golf clubs with the internet a great place to look for cheap deals. Each new season sees the major golf manufacturers releasing a new product which means that the products that are already on the market are often discounted in price. Although these golf clubs are not at the cutting edge of technology, they are still of a very high quality and will be good enough for all golfers.

Golf is a great sport but finding ways to make it more affordable should give you more opportunities to play and enjoy the sport on a more frequent basis, which is something that every sports fan appreciates.

How to Draw the Golf Ball

How to Draw the Golf Ball

Article by Christopher J. Johnson







The draw shot off the tee is a very desirable ball flight to have. It penetrates the wind much better than a fade and rolls out farther in the fairway after it comes down. It can be a tough shot to control though. The draw can turn into a hook very easily. Most courses favor people who slice the ball, since that is the most common swing fault of the average player. That means that most courses are more open to the right and much more penalizing when you hit it left.

The draw shot produces top spin on the ball. It is a right to left ball flight for right handed people and a left to right ball flight for left handed people.

The following instructions are for a right handed player.

Line up the face of the club with your target. Line up your feet, hips and shoulders to the right of your target. This closes the face of the club in relation to your body. Now just swing like you normally would. The closed clubface will cause the ball to move right to left. Since you set your body up to the right, the ball will start to the right and turn back towards the target.

There are other ways to create a draw. Basically you want your club to take an inside to outside path in relation to the ball. I believe this way to be the easiest since you can take your normal swing once you have adjusted your stance. Trying to adjust your swing can be much more difficult.

I would like to offer a word of advice. Be sure to try this technique out at the range a few times before using it on the course. If you over do it, a nasty hook could be the result, which will most likely put you in the water or the woods. We are trying to avoid penalty strokes, not create them right?

So there you go. With a little practice, you will be curving the ball around that dogleg in no time. Oh, one other thing. Golf is a game so remember to HAVE FUN!
