The Great St Andrews

“This sandy soil has felt the tread of every great champion; it has flinched as millions of golfers down the centuries have hammered and hacked, swiped and swooshed at balls of wood, leather, gutter percha and balata; it has felt the caress of hand-crafted clubs of hickory and blackthorn and suffered the sharp assault of today’s flashing blades of steel and titanium.” Do you know where these sentences described? Yes, that is the home of the golf,St Andrews. It is written by the famous golf writer, historian and St Andrean, Keith Mackie. As a golfer, I knew little about the history of golf. When I read the following words, I find that the golf has a long and amazing history.

“This sandy soil has felt the tread of every great champion; it has flinched as millions of golfers down the centuries have hammered and hacked, swiped and swooshed at balls of wood, leather, gutter percha and balata; it has felt the caress of hand-crafted clubs of hickory and blackthorn and suffered the sharp assault of today’s flashing blades of steel and titanium.” Do you know where these sentences described?

When I read the following words, I find that the golf has a long and amazing history.

Since as early as 1691, when St Andrews was described as “the metropolis of golf”, the Auld Grey Toon onScotland’s east coast has been regarded as the game’s spiritual home. Indeed, the very first minute of the Society of St Andrews Golfers, later to become The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, refers to the town as the ‘alma mater’ of golf.

As legend has it, the game has been enjoyed en masse on the links since the 12th century, when shepherds would knock stones into rabbit holes with rudimentary Golf Clubs,just like hitting the ball by Callaway diablo edge irons today. And it was reputed to be a popular pastime when theUniversity ofSt Andrews was founded in 1413.

Indeed, by 1457, the popularity of the game had reached such a level that King James II outlawed it for taking men away from their archery practice: the Act of the Scottish Parliament describing “golfe” along with “fute-ball” as “sik unprofitable sportes”.

In 1552, on the proviso that Archbishop of St Andrews, John Hamilton, was able to retain possession of the rabbits on the course, the town’s right to play golf on the links was officially established.

Fast-forward 200 years and the custodians of the course – later to become the Old Course – were the Society of St Andrews Golfers. They took the decision to reduce the number of holes from 22 to 18, so creating the format that would come to represent the standard course layout the world over. From then on, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club, and now The R&A, has been at golf’s side as it has evolved and developed into the game we know today. St Andrews, however, and its Old Course, has witnessed every single change in the game over its 600-year history. I have to say St Andrewsis great which makes us can enjoy the wholesale golf clubs.

Simple Golf Swing Review

Simple Golf Swing Review

Article by Mike Mancini







Golf is a fun game and it’s a funny game. How so? Well, it’s a fun game because you are challenged constantly both mentally and physically. You get to play on nicely landscaped areas and you have the opportunity to enjoy a sport with friends, usually. However, it’s a funny game because it can be the most frustrating sport on the planet. You would think that hitting a golf ball would be one of the easiest things to do. Hitting it is one thing, but hitting it where you want is another story entirely. Enter in “The Simple Golf Swing”. David Nevogt, a golfer, golf instructor and golf writer has written an eBook claiming a simple, yet effective set of golf instruction that almost can anyone can use, regardless of skill. This Simple Golf Swing Review will detail Nevogt’s claims that bogey golfers can improve their scores by anywhere from seven to twelve strokes.

At first glance the eBook is relatively innocuous, in the sense that it simply is an eBook. After reading through it once, however, this Simple Golf Swing Review has come to realize that the method taught and the drills and techniques discussed are very simple and to-the-point. The author’s goal is to keep the golf instruction easy to understand, simple and quick and this definitely shows in the product.

However, how can an online book fix what golf instructors and people who I know are much better at the game than I have tried to fix? Well, the Simple Golf Swing Review has found that it does work for many, actually. The crux of the system is simplicity. Most golf swings, when analyzed, are images of elbows and arms and clubs all over the place. What the product does, though, is simplify the process by concentrating on the spine. Specifically, the spine is used as the central focus of the swing, keeping the swing consistent. The book takes you through some simple drills to do to help solidify this focus. The great thing about it is that it is an easy and quick way to get your swing going in the right direction. Straighter shots and bigger impact are two elements that you will come to see fairly quickly.

The Simple Golf Swing review is literally for anyone. Yes, it is geared toward the average or below average golfer, who doesn’t have hours and hours of time to spend on the driving range. It’s also for the golfer that doesn’t have hundreds of dollars to pay for instruction and it’s for those who want some of the fun back in their game. In addition, because of the drills and easy to understand system, along with bonuses that offers instruction on all aspects of the game, it is indeed a product that can be used by golfers across the board. If you want to improve your game, I would go grab it now!
