Reviews on Golf Courses Can Give First Hand Information About Upcoming Play

Article by Helen Tanady









Ahead of moving towards a new course, a lot of golfers take benefit of golf course reviews accessible to see what they can anticipate once they reach the destination. There is lots of information in a golf course review, particularly if it is written by players who have essentially played the course more than on one occasion, and helpful information will usually contain more than the character of the clubhouse owner.

When glancing at a golf course review, there are two figures that truly tell the tale on how well a player can imagine doing on that course. Think about two different types of golfers, one who shoots par for the course almost all times they play not considering the course or conditions, and the bogey golfer who usually scores 18 over par on each round played. Keeping these two groups in mind, every hole on each course is specified two numbers. One is the rating and the other is the slope, which when incorporated in the golf course review point to the difficulty of the course for both groups.

U.S. Golf Association has made the rating system homogeneous, which is included in the golf course reviews. Rating is the score that an average par golfer can wait for. Slope is the divergence between what a par golfer and a bogey golfer can expect on the same course under comparable circumstances.

Reviews talk about the design of the golf course too.

Course surroundings are typically incorporated in independent comments in a golf course review but again, think about the time of year the writer played and the climate at that time. Every single one of these variables pointed to in a golf course review can offer a better picture of what can be anticipated on that reviewed course.

While reading at a golf course review the layout needs to be considered. Bogey golfers will have additional difficulty with tight fairways, but larger greens may be tolerant. Improved golfers will typically have little trouble with tight fairways, but lesser greens may give them a little anguish. It is obliging if the golfers handicap is incorporated with what they put in writing in a golf course review.

Whilst it is good to visit a golf course where the employees are remarkably responsive and they offer grand service, the state of the golf equipment they present is even significant to be incorporated in a golf course review. It does not matter how much they smirk and show gratitude to you if you have to walk back to the clubhouse as the golf cart broke down on the far side of the golf course.

The Simple Golf Swing with BONUSES

The Simple Golf Swing with BONUSES

Article by Clyde Brown









If you golf anything like me, then read “The Simple Golf Swing” book and within a few hours, you will be on your way to playing the best golf of your life in just two weeks. I recently started playing golf three years ago with my brother and dad. They are more experienced than I was and it was embarrassing to play with them. I was always holding them up because I was either in the woods looking for my ball or just not hitting far enough and of course never on the fairway. I have gotten better over the past couple summers but consistently shoot a round well over 90 to over a hundred. I bought the book “The Simple Golf Swing” by David Nevogt back in February and read it. It was different at first to adjust my usual swing method I had but soon after, I started to understand the methods easier. I practiced these methods right before spring in the back yard and the driving range. I noticed how straighter and longer my drives were becoming. I knew this year, my brother and dad were going to have some competition. With my order of “The Simple Golf Swing”, I received eight BONUS books that teach the short game. I have been practicing them as well as watching the videos I bought from “PurePoint Golf”. Now, just within last year to this summer, I have reduced my round of golf from a plus ninety to last week’s 83…. Remarkable!!! My fairway shots are 90% now and my chipping is better than ever. It is neat to watch the back spin of those incredible shots onto the green. My putting is getting better and continuing to work on that, I should reach course par by the end of summer. I am hoping to start getting into tournaments and maybe win some money.

“The Simple Golf Swing” book gives good picture demonstrations and details of making your fairway shots like a pro. It is guaranteed to improve your game by at least 7 strokes within two weeks. They also have an EBook purchase and you get great videos online for a cheaper rate. I really suggest you try it because you will be astonished and fully satisfied with “The Simple Golf Swing” for only instead of paying a private instructor a hundred times that. It even has a 60-day money back guarantee to prove it.

Putting Instruction For The Weekend Muni-Golfer

Putting Instruction For The Weekend Muni-Golfer

Article by Jim Masters









Look you could watch the golf channel all you want on putting instruction from all the teachers and pro’s but the bottom line if you are anything like me you don’t have the time to go out everyday and put their concepts to work. Like myself and most of the world we’ve got jobs and families that we need to make priority #1. But, when you have the opportunity to get out on a Saturday morning you want to make the best of it. Right?

Well, in this article I’m going to just give you a couple of tips that you can take with you to the course Saturday morning and make more putts!

The first thing you need to realize about putting is that you don’t want to think about hitting the ball. You want to think about rolling the ball to the hole. You see unlike hitting a golf ball, putting takes touch and finesse. If you simply step up to the ball and try and hit it you will not be able to control your distance.

So for the first putting instruction tip – Think roll the ball to the hole.

Second, don’t spend to much time trying to read the greens. Thinking to much in putting will only restrict your ability to make putts. What you want to do is just decide weather your going uphill or downhill. Is the putt going left or right. And once you get those two things figured out simply pick your line you want to putt the ball on and again think roll the ball to that spot.

So for the second putting instruction tip – Don’t spend to much time trying to read the green.

Lastly, focus your attention on making those 3 to 4 footers and don’t play to much break.

How many times have you hit a good drive, nice approach shot and left yourself with that 20 foot birdie putt and then just lipped out that putt and left yourself with that 3 footer left for par and stepped up and missed it turning that birdie opportunity into a disappointing bogey?

Well, I can relate. Because it seems like this happens more times than not. Those putts are crucial to you having a good round or not having a good round.

When facing those 3 to 4 footers make yourself stay focused and don’t play a lot of break. Simply make yourself concentrate on the back of the cup and make a good solid firm stroke and you will make more than you miss!

In Closing:

Putting instruction for the average weekend muni- golfer doesn’t have to be over complicated. Simply incorporate the tips I listed above and you will make your fair share of putts.

I hope you were able to get some good valuable information out of this article.

Longest Drive in Golf

Longest Drive in Golf

Article by J Knight







Having the longest driver in golf gives you a big advantage over the other players. While they are still trying to get near the green on a second shot you may be chipping to the hole. The closer you are to the green with your 2nd shot after a long drive, the better chance you have of coming in at or even under par. Hitting the longest driver is not easy however. It takes a combination of the proper equipment and the right fitness. Some folks are just plain gifted when it comes to the long drive, but everyone can improve the length of their drives by obtaining the proper clubs and working on physical fitness.

The first step that most people take when seeking to improve the length of their drive is to buy a new driver. The difficult part is that there is not one club that is the best for everyone. If you want to fit the longest drive you must have a club that perfectly matches your strength and size. You want a club that you can swing fast but you do not want to sacrifice the accuracy of your shot. There is no benefit to hitting the ball far if it does not go where you want. Hitting the ball twenty yards further into the woods or worse, out of bounds, is not going to improve your score any.

So, where should you start looking for the best long stick for the big drive? If you want to go with the best, you must take a look at Krank Golf’s El Diablo Driver. This is the club that won the Remax World Long Drive Championships and captured second, third, fourth, six and seventh places in 2008. That paints the picture as a club capable of hitting the long drive with proven results. So, after you have found a long stick that you are excited about, does that mean you will immediately begin hitting the longest drives in your Sunday group? It may and it may not. I killer, well fit, club will always improve the distance of your drives, but a club can not do it alone.

You may find you are still losing out to a friend who is stronger or one who hits a bucket at the range every day at lunch. These are the two other factors in hitting the longest drive, strength and practice. This does not necessarily mean you have to be in perfect shape. Take John Daly for example. With his ample gut he is far from Mr. Adonis, but he is a bear of a man with strength where it counts and near perfect form. Daly also practices his drive for a lot of hours to get the consistent results that he gets.

After you finish practicing with a swing trainer your original club will seem so much lighter and you will be able to swing it faster while maintaining the a certain level of accuracy. And accuracy is just as important for your game because hitting it 350 yards does not do you any good if the ball is in the bushes.Increasing your overall strength will also help you to kill the ball down the fairway. When hitting the gym, You will want to lift lighter weights at high reps to create lean muscle mass without a lot of bulk. Be sure to include stretching into your routine to keep from becoming tight and potentially losing flexibility.

Enhancing your physical strength will also help you to hit the ball really far. If you look a Golf Pros, you notice that none of them are overly muscular (buff). This does not mean that they are not fit because they are, but they try to avoid putting on a lot “big muscle”. This is because getting “buff” limits your flexibility and that can have a bad impact your swing speed. You want to lift light weights at higher reps to stack-on lean muscle mass.

Once you have found the right equipment and improved on your strength, the only thing left is practice. Follow these golf and fitness tips and you will soon be crushing your longest driver ever.
