Want a challenge try to learn to play golf

Golf is gentleman’s game. It has a very classy appeal to it. What most people do not know, is that it is extremely competitive and very hard to play. I know if your just watching your saying, how hard is it to hit a little ball with a big club. Well it’s very hard.

To have success playing golf; you have to be able to control your entire body all the way through each process of a Golf Swing. This is much harder than you think. You have to make sure you have the basics down, from how you stand, to how you hold the club, to how you position your body as you pull back then swing forward.

Not to mention, you have to aim and hit the ball hard enough to try to get close to the green. You are doing all these things at the same time. Most people do not have the concentration level it takes to do this. Let’s not mention in golf you have to adjust to the weather also.

The wind can be your greatest enemy, or friend it all depends. The things I have spoken about so far are just the basics of your tee off. Once you are in the fairway you have a whole bunch of new obstacles to climb. You have to see how far you are from the green, then pick a iron to try to make it to that distance. Then you have to hit the ball off of the ground flat; and that’s if your not in the bushes or some sand.

Swinging your irons are different from swinging your clubs. So this to has to be learned and mastered. This is what’s called your middle game. Then lastly you make it to the green, and now you have yet another obstacle to climb to put the ball into the whole. This is called the short game.

People have different opinions about what’s most important. Most people can not do all three well. By that I mean, most people can not hit their driver well, hit from the middle well and have a solid short game. Those who do are either pros or play everyday.

That’s how hard golf really is. It takes practice and most of all good coaching or instructions. Golf is not a game you want to learn the wrong way. If you pick up bad habits in golf they are hard to break. Now if you get the right information about how to properly swing a golf club from the beginning then your on your way to posting decent scores.

Now with all this negative you may say well why play. The answer to that is because it’s fun as all get out! Even if you suck at golf you will have a great time while your stinking up the place. It’s great to grab 3 or 4 buddies and just spend time outdoors hanging and playing.

Golf is also a great game for the corporate business man. Take a potential client or your boss out to the course and if you can play a little, that will go a long ways for you.

Dave Pelz’s Short Game Bible


$37.5


Dave Pelz’s Short Game Bible is the first book in a four-book series, The Dave Pelz Scoring Game Series. The next volume in the series will be Dave Pelz’s Putting Bible. He who rules the short game collects the gold. –Dave Pelz’s Golden Rule of Golf Fed up with trying to imitate the pros, buying the latest expensive equipment, and seeing your handicap stay the same? The first book by bestselling author and internationally revered golf instructor Dave Pelz since Putt Like the Pros, his bestselling classic, Dave Pelz’s Short Game Bible can show you the way to lower scores by improving your short game. The result of decades of scientific research studying thousands of golfers, Dave’s philosophy is as simple as it is revolutionary and groundbreaking: Instead of practicing the wrong things the right way, or the right things the wrong way, Pelz shows you how to find your own personal weaknesses and how to improve them to efficiently lower your scores. Packed with all the knowledge, charts, and photos needed to learn from the master, Dave Pelz’s Short Game Bible is the essential book for every golfer who’s looking to improve his or her game. Dave’s approach to golf is easy to understand: 80 percent of the strokes golfers lose to par are determined by their play within 100 yards of the green–the crucial scoring game. The most important and yet the least focused-on aspect of golf, your short game, can indeed make or break your entire game. And nobody teaches the short game like Dave Pelz. His renowned golf schools and clinics focus exclusively on putting and the short game, attracting top players like Tom Kite, Colin Montgomerie, two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen, reigning PGA champion Vijay Singh, Steve Elkington, Payne Stewart, Peter Jacobsen, and many LPGA players including Annika Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann. The pros know, as you are about to learn, that while others teach golfers how to swing, Dave Pelz teaches golfers how to score . . . and

 Flog: Fore Love of Golf


Flog: Fore Love of Golf


$8.13


History has produced a handful of professionals and a sprinkling of amateurs, who have at times, come close to mastering the outdoor game commonly known as Golf. Then there is the rest of the world.Well armed and ready to play, this much larger group is painfully more intimate with the frustration caused by engaging one’s sanity and financial resources (both of which are finite) in an outdoor game not-so-commonly known-as Flog.Flog, (Fore Love Of Golf), is the senseless pursuit of perfection in an imperfect world. It is saving through mastering the fine art of gritting one’s teeth while smiling and making pleasant conversation. And, on those days, when nothing seems to go right. Flog is a suitable description of how we all play the game (at least sometimes)… hacking, whacking, cursing our way down the fairway… looking for respectability… or at the very least, an unfair advantage!But isn’t it comforting to know, that even the pros, the world’s elite, with their years of practice and privilege, impressive accumulation of winnings, their arsenal of sticks and tricks of the trade… isn’t it nice to know, that even they cannot escape their day in the barrel. (as it were) Indeed, they must suffer the indignity of appearing as mere mortals on international television.Flog is the publication you have been waiting for! It will reveal to you the ancient golf secrets of the masters. You will learn how to spend more money than you ever dreamed possible on golf equipment and instructional videos. You will learn which golf gimmicks work and which ones don’t, and why you should buy them all anyway.Flog will also teach you the dark mysteries of male-female rivalry and show you how to exploitthem.Are you a good loser? Flog can make you a better one, losing all the time, every time!And if winning is more your style, Flog will show you how can do that too, by using a secret method that we call cheating. To discover even more golf shenanigans, to frolic in the misfortune of o
