Golf Flexibility Exercises Can Improve Your Shoulder Turn By : Sean Cochran I had a very interesting conversation during my workout this morning at the gym.

Bargain Golf Equipment – How To Find The Best Deals On All Your Favorite Golf Equipment By : John Bolt Everyone in this world loves a good bargain, and for golf equipment the song remains the same.

Previously Owned Gear This is a perfect place to start for any golfer just beginning the... Components Of An Effective Pre-Shot Routine By : Jack Moorehouse Developing consistency isn’t easy. It’s especially difficult for golfers whose practice time is limited by their work and/or their families. But there are some things that these golfers can do to help themselves develop consistency, even when they’re unable to get to a range or are on the road traveling. One is practicing their pre-shot routine— something my golf tips often discuss. Unfortunately, many golfers don’t have a pre-shot routine. If they do have a routine, they ...

You will also be humbled by the process of learning HOW to golf. Like any project you approach in life your attitude and expectations will determine your enjoyment of the game. You will learn that the road to a low han... Guidelines For Better Golf Games By : Robert Thatcher You would normally hear novice golf players complain that golf is quite frustrating. This is because the game is rather difficult to play. Not because of the nature of the golf game itself but mainly because players need to achieve a certain level of mastery over the game. Golf is such that one needs to work for it. One really has to toil for it and most of the time, get frustrated along the course. This is almost natural and majority of golf players runs through such cir... Golf Bags: What To Choose By : Robert Thatcher Your golf bag is a piece of golf accessory that allows you to carry all your other equipment with you such as the clubs, tees, markers, and perhaps an umbrella or towel. This piece of equipment doesn't necessarily have direct effects on your game but may have great influence on your overall game, comfort and fatigue level. There are two major things that may affect your choice of golf bag- the gears that you will put into the bag and the way you will carry the bag. Are yo... Golf Balls That Match Your Skills By : Robert Thatcher Any golfer knows the role of the golf balls in their plays. No matter how good a golfer is, if he is without golf balls then his skills have no value. Every golfer knows these facts. This is why golf balls had become the primary commodities among golfers. There is no general way to determine which golf ball is best for individual players. This factor is almost entirely dependent on the golfer's own preference, what he may do with the ball and how much will his pockets allo... How A Muffin Tin Can Improve Your Golf Game By : Gray Rollins Any golfer will tell you that a lot of confusion can stem from not being able to identify your ball on the course. When two balls fall near to the hole but also near to each other, the debate over which player made which shot can get quite uncomfortable. This kind of awkward situation can take a lot of the fun out of this otherwise soothing sport, and can negatively affect your ability to play well. During an argument, your muscles naturally tense in order to prepare you ...

The desire to drive the golf ball farther and straighter, allowing us to lower our golf scores on the golf course. One of the keys to driving golf the straighter and longer is a golf fitness program.

How To Optimally Prepare For The Golf Season With Golf Fitness Exercises By : Sean Cochran The PGA Golf Tour is in full swing and for many parts of the country and world the golf season is upon us. Many of you are anxious to dust off the golf clubs and get out to the golf course for your first round of golf. A question that may be on your mind is how do I get ready? How do I knock off 6 months of rust on my golf swing, feel comfortable with my driver on the first tee, and post a good golf score at the end of the round? All questions that are asked often in the w... The Golf Ball Shag Bag – Making Practice Fun Again, Guaranteed! By : John Bolt Any golfer looking to improve needs to get a golf ball shag bag. It doesn’t matter if you have a driving range at your home course or not you still need to practice your approach shots and short game around the greens. This little innovative piece of equipment makes things a lot easier to pick up and store the golf balls you use during practice. These great little bags are skinny and cylindrical in shape. They stand about two feet tall and have a small little tube (usuall... Avoiding The Golf Traps By : Ken Snowie It’s every golfer’s worst-case scenario – You’re golfing great, you’ve got a perfect swing, the perfect stance, and you were able to get rid of that slice that’s been on your back. NO matter how well everything goes, even the best golfer can find himself (or herself) occasionally stuck in a sand trap, stuck in the grass or trapped behind a giant tree on the golf course. Unfortunately, the traps are what make the game interesting. Without them, the game would probably become b... Golf Clubs – Getting The Perfect Fit By : Ken Snowie When it comes to golfing, not any old golf club will do for you. You know this if you have ever been on the golf course having make up for a club that is too long or not long enough. Besides adversely affecting you game, using golf clubs that do not fit your body can cause aches and pains after using them for a while. And if you are concentrating on making up for the poor fit of your clubs, then you probably aren’t focused on playing your best gold game. That doesn’t neces... Warming Up For A Round Of Golf By : Ken Snowie When it comes to warming up for a golf game, a lot of golfers think that hitting the driving range is enough. Actually, working on your different swings and getting familiar with the weather conditions will help to make your golf game the best it can be. Golfing on a windy day is much different than if the air is calm. Your golf game is also affected on days when the temperature is hot than when it’s more moderate. Here are a few warm-up tips from those who hit the golf co... Have They Improved The Masters Golf Championship? By : Patrick Porter Bobby Lopez, past touring professional and swing guru say’s, “I Don’t Think So.” Bobby Lopez goes on to explain, “I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in the powers to be at The Masters Golf Championship. They’ve ruined my favorite golf tournament. I’m quite certain that Bobby Jones is turning in his grave!” He sights the Master’s decision to lengthen their golf course to the point that 90% of the field doesn’t have a prayer in competing for the opening major champion... Golf Tips Around Trees On The Golf Course By : George Gabriel Playing a golf shot from behind a tree or a hazard leaves several choices for the golfer. Having several choices surely can create a big problem. Most salesmen will tell you, leaving too many choices on the table can confuse the sale. I know that I am way off topic here, but having more than a couple of choices can really slow down the decision making process, and trying to sell yourself can be quite the task at times. Especially when there is a golf stroke involved. That is ... Do You Have A One-Plane Or Two-Plane Swing? By : Jack Moorehouse The concept of plane confuses some players. It also confuses some players that come to me for golf lessons. Many are unclear about what it is and what its impact is on your golf swing. Whether you understand the concept of plane or not, swinging off plane is never good. Focusing on two points—spine angle at address and the position of the left arm on the downswing—clears up the confusion about swing plane and explains its effect on your golf swing and your golf handicap. ... Dealing With Down Slopes By : Jack Moorehouse In some of my golf tips I tell the story about playing a course which had severe fairway undulations. I could see where the course would be discouraging for recreational golfers. I seldom had a flat lie on the course. In fact, it was so hilly, I was almost always hitting from some kind of slope. More often than not, I was hitting down hill. If you’ve ever played a course like this—and you probably have—you know how tricky hitting from a downhill lie can be. It’s especially... Ball Position For Different Clubs By : Jack Moorehouse Ball position is a critical component that’s often overlooked by players with high golf handicaps. Ball position decides a shot’s initial direction. While theories on ball position abound, you need to find one that’s right for you. Ball position affects a clubhead’s swing path, as I explain in my golf lessons. If the ball is too far back, the clubhead moves on an in-to-out swing path at impact, sending the ball to the target’s right. If the ball is too far forward, the cl... The Proper Swing Sequence By : Jack Moorehouse Some people who listen to my golf lessons think the swing is all about moving the right body parts. But knowing which parts to move isn’t enough. You also need to know what sequence to move them in, when, and how quickly. Building rhythm, timing, and tempo into your swing is a prerequisite to hitting good golf shots time and time again. Helping players develop swing consistency is a priority in my golf instruction. I work diligently with them, to help them learn both the ... The Proper Takeaway And Backswing By : Jack Moorehouse When it comes to the swing, my golf instruction hinges on a simple idea: The swing is a chain reaction. What occurs at the start of the swing influences what happens at the end. If you execute the takeaway and backswing properly, you’ll hit the ball with accuracy and power. If you don’t, you’ll hit the ball off-line and with little power. A proper takeaway is critical to a good swing. Like the catalyst in a chain reaction, the takeaway starts everything in motion, as I st... Vista Vallarta Golf Is A Great 4-Course Deal! By : James Rothaar Vista Vallarta Golf is a luxury resort for the sport of golf that offers its guests an abundance of luxury hotel options that surround its championship golfcourses. The area's golf courses blend well into the Mexico. Jack Nicklaus designed the first course with its grassy hillsides, dense forests of palm trees and natural creeks and arroyos. Tom Weiskopf is the architect of the second golf course, which features extremely dense jungles, deep ravines and swiftly moving creeks.... The Pros And Cons Of Cavity Back Irons By : Jack Moorehouse Whenever I talk about irons in my golf lessons, students invariably ask which style is best—cavity back or blade. The cavity back has its advantages and its disadvantages. It also has its fans. Golfers, however, shouldn’t choose an iron style because it’s popular in the clubhouse, since the style many not fit their game. The key to iron styles, as I’ve said in my golf tips, is finding what’s right for you. Cavity backs are popular these days—and for good reason. A cavi... How To Cut Five Strokes From Your Game By The Weekend By : Jack Moorehouse If you're serious about lowering your golf handicap and doing so quickly, master the three scoring clubs—the driver, the wedge, and the putter. These clubs have the greatest impact on your golf game and provide the greatest opportunity for cutting strokes from your scores. Mastering these clubs will improve your game as much as 5 strokes per round. Specifically though, let’s focus on the wedges. Knowing which wedge to hit in different situations is really the best way to ... How To Practice Golf Properly By : Jack Moorehouse Practicing your golf game properly is vital to improving. Knowing how to practice increases self-confidence, reduces scores, and lowers golf handicaps. It also increases the fun of playing as you see your scores drop on each round. I consider it so important that I discuss how to practice with all my students during golf lessons. Unfortunately, some students don’t always follow my advice. They either focus on the wrong things during practice or they practice without purpo...

Everyone Loves Athletics By : Rachael Cleipher There is no better way to spend an afternoon than by taking on a few friends in a game of pickup basketball or by shooting a round of golf.

Baby Boomers Sports And Gym Injury Risks\|avoid Over 40s Exercise Injuries By : Chris Chew Due to health care education, more people, who are over forty, those born in 1946 to 1964, commonly known as the baby boomers, are realizing the benefits of taking up sports or exercising in a gym. This is well and good since exercising regularly severely cut the risks of contracting aging and obesity related potentially killer diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, some forms of cancers and many other diseases. It is indeed heartening to know that more baby... How To Warm-Up For Your Golf Game In 5 Minutes With Golf Fitness Stretches By : Sean Cochran It is well known that in every professional sport athletes perform a series of flexibility exercises and drills to prepare them to play a game.

The Types Of Grass And What It Means To Your Game By : Jack Moorehouse The type of grass you play on affects your game.

Although every locale is different, there are grasses that can be used on almost on any course. There are also grasses that can be used...

You need to do your homework to find one that fits both your budget and your game, which means learning the different types of putters and clubheads available and their advantages.

And while I enjoy giving golf lessons and discussing golf tips, there’s something to be said about golf instructional videos as teaching aids. Increasingly popular, videos have several advantages other instruction methods don’t. Below are four advantages that I especially like about videos. 1. Visual Learning We’re all different and we all like to learn in our own way. Research has found that two major categories of pre... 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... 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 ... Get Some Great Free Golf Clubs Tips!

Choose The Right Golf Clubs Every Time By : Golf HQ Golf is now accepted globally as a popular sport activity.

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... Home On The Range By : Richard Dornell Golf may seem like a dull activity from a distance and certainly its television sportscasters are more lackadaisal than any other kind of sportscaster you're likely to hear -- but anyone who's ever played golf, knows the game is a delicate art. For some people it might just take a longer time to get used to it and enjoy the sport itself. The first form of golf was actually called "Chloe" and it was played in Scotland and then the British Isles. It survived a ban in the mid... 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... What Does Everyone Have Against Hockey? By : Adam McFarland We're in the middle of the first NHL Playoffs since 2004 and there seems to be a common theme. No it's not Ilja Bryzgalov shut-outs (although those seem to be happening quite often), it's NHL bashing. It's no surprise that the NHL is not as popular as the NFL, Major League Baseball, the NBA, or NCAA Football and Basketball for that matter - but it gets treated by major media like it is a joke of a sport. Shows like Around the Horn on ESPN constantly make fun of anyone who ... 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... 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 ... 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... 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... 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.

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... 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... 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 ...

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... 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... 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... 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... 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 ... How To Find Golf Club Discounts By : Angel Estrella When you are able to take advantage of golf club discounts, you will be saving money and feeling terrific about your recent purchase. There are so many stores, including both retail and wholesale, that offer golf clubs. You may be asking yourself a number of questions. How will I ever find the best price? Who is telling the truth when every store claims to have the lowest price? What if I don’t have a lot of cash, but I really want to purchase a set of golf clubs for myself o... 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.... 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 ... The Best Golf Fitness Exercises For The Junior Golfer By : Sean Cochran I receive many questions about the junior golfer and golf fitness programs. The questions are on a number of different topics, but they generally fall into three or four different categories.

Typically this last question is the most comm... You've Gotta Make Time For Golf By : Belina Storrey All men who enjoy golf need to take time to play golf each week throughout the summer. I'm convinced of it. As the wife of a very busy husband and as a family therapist, I am convinced that all men need the break and the relaxation that comes from playing a round of nine or eighteen holes of golf. When I was first married I would get frustrated about my husband's sheer excitement about golf as each spring turned to summer. I would give him a hard time about buying a member... Fix Your Finish To Improve Your Golf Handicap By : Jack Moorehouse How you finish often reveals what’s happening during your swing In fact, I often key on a player’s finish in my golf lessons to determine exactly how to help he or she can improve their game.

Golf Carts: Great For Golf, But What About All The Other Uses? By : Susan Dean When most people think golf carts they think of a buggy that takes a golfer and his golf clubs around the course. And that’s a fair assumption seeing that is what they were originally produced for. But in this day and age there are other uses apart from the obvious. Many large companies with many warehouses or factories also find a need for golf carts. Traveling to and fro between buildings is made easier and faster when using a golf buggy. These little buggies are not onl... Why Is Golf Apparel So Dorky?

How To Chip As If You Were Putting By : Jack Moorehouse The chip shot is one of the easiest to learn in the game. Yet, many recreational players have trouble hitting the short chip shot, even after several golf instruction sessions. In fact, they’re so bad, they substitute their putter for wedge, which isn’t always wise, as I explain in my golf lessons. Using a putter when you need a pitching wedge or a sand wedge is, needless to say, a poor decision. It can add strokes to your overall score or cost you a hole in match play. It...

I once handed one over to the bridegroom when the sky opened as they just came out of church. The reason might not be obvious to everyone but an ordinary umbrella is too small to shelter a couple. And you can´t expect a newly married couple to separate with two umbrellas. So golf umbrellas are bigger and the size is actually around 60-65 inches, which is just about 150-165 centimeters. Some a little smaller and ... Golf In Scotland By : Keith George Golf in Scotland is a historical phenomenon.

The Four Key Factors In Your Swing By : Jack Moorehouse When I mention the word basics in my golf lessons, players start thinking about things like grip, posture, ball position, alignment, and so on. That’s only natural. Golf pros talk so much about these subjects in golf instruction sessions that players assume they’re the focus when the discussion comes round to the basics of a golf shot. But there are four other basics—plane, centering, radius, and face—that key good ball striking. Players must master the four factors to cut... Pitching From Bad Lies By : Jack Moorehouse Everyone eventually lands in a bad lie. It’s just a fact of life. Even a good shot sometimes ends up in a divot. Shots off the mark, on the other hand, sometimes land on bare ground or in the rough. Pitching successfully from a bad lie cuts strokes from your score and positions you for your next shot. A key to pitching from a bad lie is maintaining your focus. Pitching from a divot or bare ground isn’t as tricky as it seems, if you do. In fact, it’s fairly straightforward,... Golf Training Aids - Putting By : Jonathan Mayheart If you are playing golf from time to time, you must have already understood that the thing golf players call “the small game”, is what you need to learn in order to improve and advance in your golf game. The small game, like a game within a game, is all that is not the long game, not requiring woods, hybrids or low irons, is the approach game, or a small game. Putting is a huge part of this part of the game of golf, and is no less crucial than a good drive or a good save o... Golf Fitness Exercises To Help Your Short Game By : Sean Cochran The connection between golf fitness exercises and the short game often times goes unnoticed.

How To Improve The Spine Angle In Your Golf Swing By : Sean Cochran A common golf swing fault is a change in the spine angle during the phases of the golf swing. This single movement causes a chain reaction of compensations that alter the mechanics of your golf swing immensely. The result is usually inconsistency and a myriad of poor golf shots.
