You must have heard about golfers choking in pressure situations? What exactly is choking? It is hitting a bad shot after you allow anger, anxiety, doubt or fear to enter your mind. Whatever you are thinking of or whatever you say to yourself just before hitting a shot becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Your brain will guide your muscles and your golf club to strange-looking swings, if you allow it. If you are distracted by negative thoughts, you won’t swing the club the way you normally could because your muscles will become tense and almost non-functional.

Lower Your Golf Score - Simplify Your Putting

Fri, 06 Oct 2006 15:19:02 +0100

Putting is such an important part of your golf score. It is the part of your golf game that itself is a game. In order to become a good golfer… you have to be able to putt well. Think of your putter as just another club in your bag for a moment. In a normal round of 18 golf holes, let’s say you use this club we call the putter just twice per hole. That’s 36 times you and your putter will have the opportunity to affect your golf score! Are going to hit your driver 36 times? Or your 7 iron 36 times? Not hardly. Yet with such overwhelming statistics, most mid to higher handicap golfers really don’t spend enough time working on their putting. In reality, it is the putter that can most rapidly improve your game. Just imagine, by improving your putting you could easily save yourself 10 strokes per round by consistently making those 4 to 6 foot putts and rarely three putting. That’s going from a golf score of 100 to 90 or 90 to 80! That’s very significant.

History of Caddies

Fri, 06 Oct 2006 15:09:01 +0100

Most golfers pull or drive a golf cart to help them travel comfortably from hole to hole. But before there were golf carts, there were golf caddies to carry the clubs, rake sand traps and offer the occasional bit of quiet advice. These days, it seems you can only spot caddies on the most prestigious courses, or on the big screen. Caddies are a dying breed, but the history of caddies is a colourful one. Perhaps the most famous caddy of them all, William Gunn, a.k.a. Caddie Willie, is said to have labored most of his adult life at the illustrious St. Andrews course in Scotland. Tales have been told of the infamous caddie shack, where the most horribly unmentionable acts were allegedly carried out, away from the sight of club members. The hilarious film Caddy Shack forever changed the way we felt about gophers, groundskeepers, and country club members.

Are Golf Shoes Really Necessary?

Fri, 06 Oct 2006 14:58:37 +0100

While some kind of footwear is required on most golf courses, are golf shoes really necessary? This is a question to be answered by each individual golfer as it is his or her feet we are talking about. Some courses require soft spikes only so the course doesn’t get chewed up with the walking around people have to do when playing, especially if the people are walking the entire course. And, most club houses will only allow soft spikes to be worn inside, to protect the carpet. Let us be honest with one another, the vast majority of golf shoes are not attractive footwear. But, golf shoes are far from being the ugliest footwear in sports. That honor, dubious though it may be, belongs entirely to bowling shoes. Who, in their right mind, would want to wear red and green shoes, especially that type of shoes? At least golf shoes are designed in a more practical, and somewhat more attractive, manner. But, are they really needed in order for a person to play golf?

Custom Golf Clubs: Hope or Hype for Improving Your Game?

Thu, 24 Aug 2006 23:33:23 +0100

Every golfer, both new and experienced, reaches a point where they have to purchase new or replacement golf clubs. It's a simple fact of life for most golfers, though sometimes driven more by the desire for something new rather than a genuine need . One of the questions that invariably comes up is whether or not a custom golf club (or set of clubs) is a good option for improving your game. The final answer is probably similar to the scenario of two pilots in a dogfight, one with more experience in a piece of junk aircraft and the other a rookie in a top-of-the-line bird. Everyone knows the experienced flyer will be the one going home at the end of the day and that same logic likely holds true on the golf course too. However, there are certainly some benefits in purchasing custom golf clubs as long as you can stomach the extra cost.
