Golf Clubs how to get value part 2
And you can spend more of your golf budget on tee times, driving ranges, or even lessons. That is more fun anyway to play golf.
When you are raising a family and working hard to make a living you may only play 10 to 20 rounds a year anyway or maybe less. I remember those times and i played only 2 or 3 rounds a year.
When you play that little the golf clubs are not the problem with your game, repetition is. A lesser high tech golf club is still going to get you to the green and a high priced high tech new Taylormade will still hit the golf balls in the woods.
You can buy Wilson Clubs, the highest selling club, or Texan, Cobra, Adams, Nickent, Cleveland, Affinity etc. You can even buy a Medicus swing trainer to help keep your swing sharp between rounds. Any of these will help your golf budget and help improve your game when you can get out there.
Spend less on the clubs and more on enjoying the golf game and your friends on the golf course. Don’t take it so serious have fun, play golf.
Golf Clubs 101 wedge bounce, what is it?
When you are looking at improving your short game, and you look at wedges, they are listed with different bounce numbers with the same loft, what are they talking about?
Titleist golf clubs had a very good explanation and i will try to put into more lay terms for the golfers to understand. Put simply, bounce is the angle and thickness of the bottom of the club (sole). This sole design is either thick or large and has an angle to keep the golf clubs from digging into what ever you are trying to hit the ball out of. Having this bounce is more important on sand shots to help from getting “fat” shots or digging deep under the ball and losing energy on the sand and making the golf ball come up short on your shot.
Having to much bounce on a fairway shot or an area with little grass to hold the ball up can cause you to blade the ball. And we all have done that and the golf balls go 40 yards instead of the 15 yards you intended.
Golf Gps units, mandatory golf equipment
Wouldn’t it be great to be on a golf course you have never played and be able to know the exact yardage to anywhere on the course from where you are? These golf gps units are working toward that end very fast. The accuracy is getting better with every new unit. the technology has improved vastly since the first generation golf gps.
I remember when the gps for golf was still illegal to use in competition. But that has changed everything now that the units can be used unlimited. It is about time the average golfer has the advantage of the knowledge of a caddie like the professionals get.
It is great to play a new course like you have already been there. Even if you play somewhere 10 times in the last 3 years you are going to land your golf balls where they have never been before. With golf gps mapping and new technology you know how far that bunker is, how far the green is, how far is it to the woods on the other side of the dog leg.
Improving your short game Wedges 101
When you decide that your short game needs improvement so you can lower your handicap where do you need to start. I guess the first thing is what golf clubs do you have to select from for hitting the golf balls inside 100 yards to the green. Do you have one single pitching wedge that you force to do all the work?
Cleveland golf clubs have a big selection of wedges to choose from to help you get the golf balls close or in the hole with way less strokes on your score card. With numerous lofts and then of each lofts there are different bounce angles. A Golf clubs bounce angle is the bottom surface the bounces off of the ground or sand. With each golfers technique or swing when hitting a lob wedge or a gap wedge there are bounce angles to help them be successful.
There is a guide to help you figure all of this out but it is still a trial and error thing. Also as you improve your game and change your swing style on your short game to get better results then the bounce or lofts may need to be changed also. It is a never ending quest to get the golf balls to go in the hole.
Titleist Pro V1
The titleist golf balls are the most used, most popular of all the balls available today. The Pro V1 and the Pro V1x are titleists top of the line high tech balls. The Pro V1 utilizes a multi layer three piece construction for durability, performance, and of course you have to have maximum distance designed into every golf ball.
Titleist works hard to improve these balls constantly so the new ones are better and improved then last years models just to stay ahead of the competition. And since you only use one piece of golf equipment on every shot during a game, then it should be the best available.
The Titleist Pro V1x is a four layer construction ball with a dual high technology core that provides longer trajectory and good feel.
Tips on Putting a 50 Footer part 2
When you start your backswing on a long putt you have to keep in your mind to make the stroke long and smooth. Your left wrist, on righthanded golfers, starts out cupped but if you let your wrists react to the club head weight it will flatten out.
Then on the downswing you should not even be thinking about your speed, you set that with your backswing distance. The hinge you created on the backswing with your left wrist will work in your favor on the way down. Hit the ball with your right hand and allow the putter head to rotate closed before you hit the golf ball.
With practice and perserverence you can improve your golf swing and sometimes maybe even make a few. Always remember to think draw with the right hand to help put a good clean roll on the ball, very important.
A Rainy day, Still Golf? part 2
Nylon rain 
gear is a good way to tolerate the damp or wet conditions you may encounter. These consist of a long sleeved jacket and drawstring pants that have a zipper at the bottom of the pant leg so that you can put them on without taking off your shoes. This type of apparel can be put on in less than a minute, which is good if you are caught in a sudden downpour.
The more expensive golf rain suits are not only waterproof on the outside but on the inside as well. Also important if you live where it can be hot and rainy is to have rain apparel that breathes. this will prevent condensation from building up and making you hot and uncomfortable.
When you put on rain gear over your other clothes you now have another layer to restrict your swing movements. That is why you want a lightweight thin suit. If you have tried a poncho for golf then you know what i am taking about.
Get your golf apparel, put it in your bag and then you to can golf on threatening days without worry.
A Rainy Day, Still Golf?
In the fall in northern Wisconsin it can be very rainy or just on and off all day. If you do not want to be stuck in the house all day doing the honey do list then you better have some golf apparel. With the weather so unpredictable, a sunny morning turning into a cloudy, drizzly afternoon you have to be prepared. If a short shower pops up an umbrella will work to keep you from getting wet and then cold for the rest of the round. Or worse yet making you call it quits.
The best way to stay dry and comfortable on a foggy damp day on a persistent on and off rain is to have good rain gear. There are plenty of choices of good rain gear that is designed to wear and still let you swing your club without restrictions. some of them breathe and some of them pack up very nice so you can always have them in your bag ready to go.
