Golf-Beginner Basics I-00-3264 Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

The popularity of golf has increased tremendously over
the past forty five years, giving us champions like
Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, and Tiger Woods, and
world-renowned courses like Pinehurst, Augusta
National and the Blue Monster at Doral.

Why has golf become so popular? It’s the opportunity
to be outside, to get a good whole body workout,
network with friends or business colleagues at a
leisurely pace, and to play a game that you can never
perfect.

Your scorecard, over time, shows your improvement,
which keeps you playing again and again.

Here is a very basic lesson in golf for the person who
has no clue about the game.

Golf is played on an eighteen-hole course; each hole
has its “par”, which is the number of tee shots
(drives), fairway shots, chips (short hits as you
approach the green), and putts.

The par number is based on the length and difficulty
of the hole. Pars range from 3 to 6. If you get the
ball in the hole in five shots on a par five hole, you
“made par.” If it took you six shots, it’s called a
bogie, if you made it in four, it’s a birdie.

There are usually “hazards” of some sort on all the
holes. Bodies of water, sand traps, and trees are
strategically placed to make the hole more
challenging. Beginner golfers should seek to find
courses to play that are easier to play, with fewer
hazards.

Each player keeps their own score, marking the number
of total number of shots for each hole. At the end,
each person adds their scores-the lowest number is the
winner.

It is important for beginner golfers to not take
themselves too seriously. It takes a long time to get
good at this game; even though the professionals make
it look so easy.

Take a lesson or two at the onset; it will help you
develop a proper swing and help you get off to a good
start.

Remember that it’s just a game. Have fun and look at
the big picture-you’re outside and you’re not at work!

Golf’s Indomitable Foursome: The Greatest to Ever Pick Up the Sticks Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Golf fanatics looking for a conversation to have while having a beer will often converse about the supreme golf athletes of their respective time frames. The game of golfing is altered in every epoch. The golf athletes have gotten more muscular, and even more importantly, the gear has gotten much better. Now, wholesale golf clubs are great examples of craftsmanship, gaining distance and accuracy to anyone’s competition.

Our selection for the 1st time frame is Bobby Jones, the finest amateur golfer to ever swing the irons. In 1930, Jones won the Grand Slam overcoming all amateurs and professionals. Consider thatexploit. In England, he had both the British Amateur Championship and the British Open. Golf’s Grand Gentleman won thirteen majors and quit competitive golf attwenty-eight. Others like the tremendous competitor Byron Nelson were palmary during this time frame, but we’d put our cash on Hogan in an 18-hole playoff any time.

Our selection for the next epoch is fantastic ball-striker Ben Hogan. He captured an glorious sixty-three tournaments from the late 30’s to late 50’s, despite losing time to WWII and a near-fatal accident. A clever competitor, Hogan epitomized determination and his ability to hit fantastic shots from anywhere on the tees. He spent hours improving the golf swing, and produced one of the most super swings ever found on the links! Golf clubs wholesalers have been selling clubs designed by Hogan for years.

Arnold Palmer heads the poll for the third great golfer. The man at the front of Arnie’s Army used his unorthodox swing to conquere a great deal of championships, and the hearts of the normal golf athlete in the process. Golf athleteS headed out to purchase wholesale golf clubs and learn the game after watching Palmer play. In one of golf’s greatest comebacks, Palmer emergedfrom seven strokes back in the last round to win the 1960 U.S. Open. The crowd yelled him to victory. He won 7 majors among his sixty tour victories, obtaining the golf title “the King.” Palmer beats Nicklaus in our list, but we admit it’s a sentimental pick.

The Master of the current game is a difficult selection. Actually, it’s not. Only a stupid idiot would not choose Tiger Woods. He is on pace to smash all the golf records, and now his clubs are popular items with golf club wholesalers, too. We hope they’ll help us swing like him!

Know The Difference Between The Good And Bad Golf Tips Monday, January 11th, 2010

There are good golf tips and bad golf tips. The question is, “how do you decide which golf tips to listen to?”

This question has been brought home to me recently because a good friend took up golf about two years ago. He has really caught the bug and plays several times a week. He also has lessons and practices frequently. Whenever we play together he is constantly asking for tips and advice about his swing.

It is my belief that you should only give a player a golf tip if you are sure that it will fit in with the rest of his swing. I have seen far too many players lose their swings when trying to adopt a golf tip which simply does not fit in with everything else that goes on when they swing the club.

OK, I know, there are certain golf tips which are universally sound, like, “keep your head still.” But equally there are plenty of other golf tips that can be ruinous even when given with the best of intentions.

In particular I recall a good player with whom I’d played many rounds who always drew the ball right to left, usually with good control. One day when his draw was a bit exaggerated, his partner suggested this perfectly sound golf tip: “You know, if you were to keep your right elbow well tucked in on the downswing you would lose that nasty hook.”

The suggestion was well meant. However, for a player who had a well grooved habit of swinging slightly over the top of the ball, as Arnold Palmer was wont to do, it proved to be one golf tip too much. He became so conscious of his right elbow that it threw the whole of the rest of his swing out of shape and it took him months to get it back again.

The point is that the golf tip didn’t fit in with the rest of his swing.

This is a mistake that many golfers make. They listen to all the golf tips out there and try to adopt them all in their desperate search for a good swing. It is my belief that your aim should be to groove a golf swing that will give you streams of straight and long golf shots by modelling your swing on one set of advice. Then you should develop a mind movie of that swing so that you can reproduce it whenever you play a shot.

Think how long some of the most famous partnerships between players and their swing coaches have lasted. Think of Jack Nicklaus and Jack Grout, Tiger Woods and Butch Harmon, Nick Faldo and David Leadbetter to name but a few. All these great players relied on one coach’s vision of their swing to keep their mind movie in shape. They did not go asking for golf tips from other players.
