Golf is all about playing your game. The key word being “your” because so many players try to play other people’s games. By that, I mean too many golfers play the clubs and balls they think
Up until the mid-80s, golfers still had clubs in their bags that essentially had been handmade.
But how would a golfer using persimmon woods and blade irons make changes to their clubs and if so, how would they go about doing it?
The answer to these questions was lead tape.
How important is it to hold the golf club with the correct grip?
Even if you hold the club poorly, how much harm can it do to your game and does a bad grip act as a catalyst for poor shots?
To answer the first question, the grip is incredibly important.
It is your only physical contact with the golf club therefore having an orthodox grip can’t be undermined.
On the second question, if your grip is slightly unorthodox it can be responsible for errant shots.
If you think it’s time for your 4 iron to go, I’ll show you exactly which hybrid you should be replacing it with. (Spoiler alert: it’s not always the 4 hybrid!)
Breaking 100 is a big deal in golf. When you break 100, you have to be able to hit a straight shot, make a few two putts, and keep the ball in play. For new golfers, breaking 100 is one of the first and most important obstacles. I’ll show you what percentage of golfers break 100, some tips for breaking 100, and why breaking 100 is such a big deal in golf.
Learning how to hit down on irons is one of the most important skills in golf. When you hit down on the golf ball – specifically with irons and wedges – you’ll hit it longer and find the sweet spot more than you thought possible. Of course, this is easier said than done for most everyday golfers.
If you’re like most golf fans chances are you’re asked, “How much does a pro golf caddy make?” It’s a good question because these guys are working hard, carrying a heavy bag, and trying to help their player win millions of dollars. A caddy wears a lot of hats from swing coach, sports psychologist, nutritionist, course strategist, and a voice of reason at times.
The world of professional golf is very different from most sports in terms of money. In pro golf if you don’t make the cut, you don’t get paid – simple as that.
The four majors in golf are the pinnacle of the sport.
The majors are when the best players in the world look to entertain us with their amazing skills from tee to green for four days. All hoping to walk away with a victory on Sunday afternoon to become a part of history.
If you’re like a lot of new golfers I’m sure you’ve asked yourself, “What is an eagle in golf?”
With so many terms – bogey, shank, skull, etc. – and rules, golf vocabulary can get a little overwhelming. But an eagle is definitely a term you want to know about as it’s one of the greatest achievements for amateur golfers.
