Typically this last question is the most comm... Dealing With Water: Know The Rules By : Jack Moorehouse Water hazards probably account for more penalty strokes than anything else in golf. But water hazards—as dealt with under Rule 26—often lead to controversy when interpreting the rule. So I’m careful to review the topic in my golf lessons and discuss it in my golf tips. The controversy stems from interpreting where the ball last crossed the water’s edge. Since the decision affects where you take a drop, it makes sense to have a good understanding of the rule, especially if ... Principles Of Accurate Chipping By : Jack Moorehouse Here’s a question I sometimes ask when giving a golf lesson. What do pro golfers Jose Maria Olazabal, Tiger Woods, and Sergio Garcia all have in common? Answer: They don’t hit into trouble often, but when they do, their short games save them, and accurate chipping is one of the most potent weapons in their short game. In fact, most players with low golf handicaps chip accurately. The chip shot is one of the easiest shots to learn in golf. It’s also one of the most crucial.... The Benefits Of A Golf Club By : Analeese Burnabaker If you are a busy professional man that has any opportunity at all to be a part of a golf club, then I'd suggest you join it at all costs. I never was an advocate of golf clubs until I got married and realized just how high a level of stress my poor husband dealt with every day at work. Quite frankly, I never knew why men were always talking about their love for golfing and their need to get out and hit a bucket of balls before this. It took me a few months to realize how ... Building A Repeatable Swing Like Tiger Woods By : Jack Moorehouse Tiger Woods hits his irons straighter and more accurately than most pros. By swinging the club exactly the same way, he’s able to repeat his golf swing again and again and again. The more he repeats his swing, the more often he generates predictable results. For Tiger, predictable results mean more tournament wins and higher earnings. For the rest of us, it means better scores and lower golf handicaps. Building a repeatable swing is ultimately the goal of all golf instruct... How To Deal With Sloping Greens By : Jack Moorehouse Reading slopes correctly is vital to putting well. All putts start out straight, but the green’s contour curves the ball. If you’re going to improve your putting and lower your golf handicap, then you must learn how to read a green’s slope. Reading a green’s slope comes with experience, like a lot of things in golf. The more you play, the better you’ll become at it, as I stress in my golf lessons. Nevertheless, there are some proven techniques I’ve used that will make lear... Squaring The Golf Club At Impact, The Rotator Cuff, And Golf Fitness By : Sean Cochran We all know the clubface must be square at impact and the club releases thereafter. Generally speaking a large amount of golf swing mechanics center upon returning the clubface to square at impact. Additionally, the golf swing is a “total body” movement incorporating every joint in the body. In order for the clubface to be square at impact all of these joints must work in coordination to allow this to occur. In relation to the body, specific muscles are very active in retu... On The Driving Range By : Jimmy Bonner It doesn’t matter if it’s your first day as a golfer, or if you’re an experienced pro the driving range can be your best friend. Driving ranges vary in style from patches of dirt with bit of grass, to full blown amusement parks. Driving ranges can offer players of all skills a valuable practice filed that can vastly help improve ones skills. A driving range is a large field, or course that offers players a chance to hit balls typically 500 yards or more towards the sky. Dr... How To Buy Golf Awards By : J. Newton So, you've been a member of your golf club for years now. You have become a regular participant in every tournament that is offered to you. You are really enjoying the social aspects of club membership and now somehow (you're not really sure how) you volunteered to head the awards committee. Screw this up and you can be sure you won't find yourself on the top of anyone's party invite list. Don't fear, here is an easy to follow guide on how to organize the task. O.K., so wh... The Heel/Toe Weighting Concept For Golf Putters Is Here To Stay By : Stephen Downarowicz The TOWD (True Orbit Weighting Dynamics) design family of putting instruments are for those players seeking an advanced skill level. By inducing a precise and repeatable putting stroke, through a near perfect arced pendulum effect, with a consistent, passive face rotation, The TOWD putters generate optimal passive feel, making TOWD putters the most advanced and easiest to use putting instruments in the game. Playing on undulating greens, of variable speed, the feel from TOWD ... Six Keys To Pitching From The Fairway By : Jack Moorehouse Accurate pitching reduces your golf handicap. Turning three strokes into two by pitching close to the pin cuts strokes from your scores. Cut enough strokes and you’ll lower your handicap significantly. Learning to pitch accurately from the fairway is crucial to improving your game. Pitching accurately from the fairway, as I mention in my golf lessons, requires good distance control. That’s not easy to achieve. The tendency is for your swing to be either too long, in which ... How To Enjoy Golf Without Hurting Your Lower Back By : Sean Cochran The golf swing, lower back, and injury are common phrases in the world golf. It is understood the golf swing places large amounts of stress on the lower back. This is simply a result of the mechanics of the golf swing itself. The execution of the golf swing places the lower back under immense shear forces each and every golf swing, and the muscles of the lower back must withstand these shear forces. Muscles of the body when under stress from physical activity eventually becom... Synchronizing Your Arms And Body By : Jack Moorehouse Whatever your golf handicap is, you’ve probably experienced days when everything on the course seemed to fall into place. You’re golfing with a fun-loving foursome. You’re playing a great course on a great day. And you’re driving, chipping, and putting well. In fact, you’re doing everything well. It all seems so easy. And, then, for no apparent reason, you lose it. You can’t do anything right. Your drives miss the fairways. Your approach shots fall way short. And your chip... Golf – History Of A Game In Constant Evolution By : Mr Hanna The true origins of the game now called golf have been hotly debated over the years, as throughout history almost every civilisation has played some form of game with a club and a ball. Various competing ideas have been put forward as to its initial derivation and over the years there have been many different ways to play. Probably the one constant that is universally accepted, is that the original essence of the modern game can trace its origins back to the pastime of “gowf”... Golf Tips For A Better Golf Swing By : George Gabriel Golfing can be an expensive past time, especially if you have to take golf lessons to boot. Taking golf lessons gives you the ability to have someone guide you and spot critical mistakes in your golf swing. There is another alternative to golf lessons even though golf lessons are the fastest and best way to a better golf game. There is a lot of good reading material on the Internet that helps in solving your slice, hook, or whatever problem you have getting the golf ball t... Do You Know All Of The Best Golf Tips?

Dressing To Win Your Golf Game By : Jimmy Bonner Golf is about patience, vision, and what you wear. That’s right, what you wear can have a major effect on your game. Golf is a unique game that doesn’t always spell out a specific dress uniform for golfers, but if you aren’t thinking about what to wear your game can suffer. Included below are some tips for golfers of any age, and a ability to improve their game by selectively choosing what they wear. Starting at the top of the body, wearing a hat has become acceptable in g... Choosing The Right Course For Beginners By : Jimmy Bonner Taking out the phonebook and picking a course for its name is not a good idea for beginning golfers. Choosing a course is one of the most important decisions a golfer can make when they are first starting out. Golfers need to have confidence to continue to excel at their game, if they choose a course too hard this could ruin ones passion for the game. Conversely golfers won’t want to play a course too easy because they must be challenged to play their best each time they step... Buying The Best Clubs For Beginners By : Jimmy Bonner A new set of clubs for beginners is really not necessary; in fact the higher end clubs can be a hindrance on your game. Golf is unique in the fact that the sport requires a group of instruments, and equipment to play in full. Many sports like baseball or basketball just require a few items that are used by an entire team. Golf being an individual sport this aspect changes into a need for the right set of clubs. Golf clubs are broken down into sets of complete or incomplete... Five Steps For Improving Bunker Technique By : Jack Moorehouse Although hitting from a bunker is straightforward once you learn the basics of stance and posture, the thought of hitting into a greenside sand trap unsettles many golfers. Improving your technique reduces the fear of bunker play and builds self-confidence in your shot-making capabilities. Assuming the texture of the sand is similar, and the ball is not plugged, the technique for hitting out of a greenside bunker remains the same for shots up to 30 yards (27m). The key to ... Keys To Improving Distance From The Tee By : Jack Moorehouse Players taking my golf lessons often confuse length off the tee with muscle power. They’re not the same. While you may never drive the ball as far as John Daly, quite possibly the Tour’s longest driver, you can generate additional power off the tee—and improve your golf handicap —by developing a sounder technique. Here are 7 keys to a great drive: • Widen your stance for stability • Point your left toe slightly toward target (for right-handers) • Hover the clubhead ab... Making The Right Golf Community Decision By : Robert Flournoy For golfers, choosing to buy a home in a golf course community might seem as easy as swinging the club on a fine spring morning. Over 2700 golf course communities have been built across the United States, with more anticipated each year. With over 26 million golfers in this country, builders clearly have a ready-made clientele for homes designed with a view of the greens. But golf course communities have an appeal for buyers who are not avid golfers, too. Many people enjoy th... The Importance Of Golf Etiquette By : David Stone There are many rules to the game of golf that are not enforced by penalties. These rules are that of etiquette and respect for other golfers. They are mainly in place for safety and fairness. The game is only part decision and skill. The key to having the best golf experience begins with the correct etiquette. There is nothing that ruins a game of golf like being embarrassed by not knowing the rules. There are some simple rules to follow that will ensure you look professional... Choose The Right Golf Clubs Every Time By : Golf HQ Golf is now accepted globally as a popular sport activity. Since it has gone mainstream, it is common to see commercials on TV featuring this beloved sport. I am certain that you have seen some golf clubs that are being advertised in the market, claiming they can help you hit longer and harder than ever before. These new clubs promise to improve your game, but you should beware of these promises. If something is too good to be true, then it most probably is. Everybody shou...

Get To Know The Discipline Of Picking The Right Golf Clubs By : Golf HQ Golf trainers who have been to high level training sessions, such as any PGA program, know the discipline of picking the right golf clubs. These trainers also know how to understand the effects of the body’s movement in respect to the golf club being used. Trainers act as consultants, giving important tips to their students. It is easy to fall prey to marketing hype, however. If your trainer favours only one brand, this is a sign that he may be just riding the hype. It is ... Can Well-Maintained Greens Lower Your Scores? By : Jack Moorehouse I don’t often mention green maintenance in my golf lessons. Nor do I often discuss it in my golf tips. That’s because golfers want to talk about hitting the ball instead. But the care and feeding of a club’s greens—how they are mowed, watered, fertilized— can have a major impact on a player’s golf handicap, especially if he or she plays the same course a lot. Speed is the key factor when considering green maintenance. Usually, players want a superintendent to increase gree...
