Playing Poor Golf

by admin on April 5, 2010

I play poor golf and you can too!

I wanted to take time out to let everyone know that I truly suck at golf and will eternally suck at golf. I have a 29 handicap and have had the same handicap since I picked up my first club. I am currently 37 years of age and have endured course after course hacking since I was 18. The years meandering on the fairways haven’t produced too many scores to be proud of. No, I haven’t taken any lessons. My golf training consists of reading a few tips on the web and perusing golf magazines at the dentist office, but none of those five minute remedies have seemed to magically get my game off the ground (or fairway). I wonder why?? A few years ago, I thought I saw the “light” when I purchased a book that enables your game to have success using a baseball type grip combined with adjusting your swing plane. With this new found education, I put these principles to work. I actually managed to play pretty good for the first nine holes before my game went back into the crapper. Well, maybe if I had purchased those thick baseball type grips the author was selling, I would have logged in a 68 for the day. (It’s all in the merchandising folks). For those of you that are caught up in this problem, I have attached a list of ways to guarantee your game will continue to suck in case you are actually convinced your game is back.

Why I Suck At Golf The complete Mulligan Story……..Keys to never improving you golf game:

1. Own a house with a big yard. The work that accompanies owning property is very deceiving, especially if you have lots of trees and a garden. Don’t buy a riding mower either. Get the push mower that will take twice the amount of time. This will eliminate any time for the driving range, putting, chipping, etc.

2. Get married. This will guarantee your game gets less play. Why would anyone want to spend time to improve their game when they can be spending the day shopping with their “honey dew”?

3. Procreate. Have a child or two. (It just takes one). Family commitments will ensure to keep you off the course and lower your handicap. Though when children get a little older it is critical that you teach them the proper way to throw the club as well as reciting the appropriate excuses for abominable play.

4. Work overtime on the weekdays and on Saturdays. Not only will this sustain you from practicing that favorite game, it will be a great way to suck up to your boss and show him or her that you’re company material.

5. Get involved with a health club. This will enable you to have an excuse for not having any time to play 18. You have to spend to transform the “keg” into a “six pack”. Who has time to play when training for the neighborhood 5K run…er walk?

6. Play nine holes instead of eighteen (due to #1 through #5 above). Your golf clan will quickly scoff at your 50% committment and soon you will be banished from the group.

7. Patronize the beverage cart more frequently during play. Alcohol will give you that false sense of pride that you are indeed..Tiger Woods. Pars will quickly tranform into 8’s and 9’s.

8. Working with the “slice”. To correct your banana tee shot, stand and face the opposite direction to upright your slice. This is priceless. I know some of you are out there!

9. Purchase an extension ball retriever for fishing out that one of kind ball that you just can’t lose! God forbid if that top flite gets stuck in the muck. There is a location in the Senior League for you.

10. Play golf with people that suck worse than you. They will be amazed at your trick slit shots and your stunning three putts. You will even bedazzle them with your punch shots out of the woods.

I hope you find my poor golf tips and redundant sarcasm humorous if not light-hearted. Please consider this article as therapy to “vent” for my lack of playing time and ability to lower my handicap. Still I love this game..see you on the links!

Choosing the Correct Golf Club

by admin on April 4, 2010

Knowing which club to engage for your golf style will play a major role in whether or not you have a great game of golf. The standard golf spot includes three woods, ten irons and a putter.

To maximize your potential, buying shorter clubs will have more accurate ball contact when you swing. For beginners, it is recommended they select woods or irons because the large and flat soles make it easier to make ball contact which results in shots that go farther. One specific club type suggestion for beginners is the mallet putter. Mallet putters are very well aligned and will make it easier for short putts.

Priorities for club selection change for intermediate golfers Golf Club Reviews. Intermediate players do not need clubs that are as forgiving as clubs beginners expend.

You should still have a larger driver that will allow you to make a good amount of contact with the ball. Further more, the factual shaft selection is becoming increasingly important at this level of play. Select a shaft that will complement your swing bustle. Even though you might be comfortable with the clubs you used as a beginner, you need to try clubs that purchase more skill so you can improve your game.

Golfers that have trained to the advanced level, have a stronger grunt of the concepts and manufacture noteworthy more true shots. Advanced players will begin to add their own style and finesse into the swing by choosing the correct clubs. More advanced irons will allow for distinguished better mastery of the ball.

Hold a driver with a bit less loft (degree of the angle at which the face of the club lies relative to a perfectly vertical level). When your deciding on a driver, it is valuable to consider your swing speed. Every driver will affect your swing speed in a different way.

The selection of your clubs is the probably the single most important decision you will face as a golfer. So, take some time to figure out your level of playi, and then choose your golf clubs accordingly. Club selection is going to determine how well you play so it’s important to take the time and select the right Golf Club Reviews.
