Buying you a gift can be a little problematic for a non-golfer.
 They probably don’t know just how fanatical you are about the game.  Or maybe they do, but if they are a golfer themselves… how do they know what to get for you?
I found a great new online golf gift store where you can send […]

Amateur golfers with different levels of ability compete against one another on equal terms by measuring their level of ability and calculating their golf handicap. A golf handicap is measured in number of strokes and is used to calculate a net score by subtracting the handicap from the number of actual strokes.

Like the Pros, a couple of years ago I started tracking my rounds with a golf handicap tracker, and I have to say, it’s really made a HUGE difference in my game!

The person who is relaxed and confident plays a better game of golf than one whose knees are shaking at the thought of sand traps. Fear is one thing you never want to take with you to the driving range.

One area of golf training that has caught on slowly is golf-specific strength training. Only recently has this specific need been addressed. As with many things, it started at the top with pros like Tiger Woods and David Duval and began to trickle down to the masses over time. Unfortunately, many golfers still live under the old assumption that strength training is detrimental. The truth is that the days of simply practicing and playing to make yourself a stronger and better golfer are from a bygone era. If you want to develop into the best player you can be, you better get with the program-a strength training program, that is.

Professional golfers have now fully embraced the benefit of golf weight training programs, but among amateur golfers golf weight training programs are still looked on with a lot of fear and apprehension. One of the greatest fears is that some of the golf weight training programs designed to build strength are too strenuous.

Why does Tiger seem to have an UNFAIR advantage? Is it because he can hit the ball farther. Is it his ability to sink putts in clutch situations? Is it his sharp short game? Even when he’s not striking the ball to the best of his ability he’s able to maintain an inner confidence that he can still win. He knows his real strength is not his ball striking ability but his belief that if he isn’t optimum in the physical sense, his mental golf game is.

Pick a gift basket style. I like to use either a Golf Bag or a bucket (try a metal or heavy plastic golf ball bucket, like the ones at a driving range) which later can be used for collection of practice balls.

Golf exercise program - with the exploding number of so-called golf fitness experts these days, it becomes very confusing. It’s easy for a golfer to be misled and end up in a program that will hardly have the desired objective of improving their game.

There has been some of the finest instruction for any sport provided in current golf teaching. There are some tremendous golf teachers out there. They rank from those who you see on the Golf Channel to those terrific gals and guys who you know at your nearby golf course.
