beth! asked:


Well I am joining golf because I want to try I new sport and it seems interesting.
For the first three weeks of practice I still need to buy clubs, shoes, and all new clothes which we are struggling to afford.
After 3 weeks they only keep 12 people on the team so if I get cut we just wasted a ton of money.
I need some tips so I DO NOT get cut.
I am also I freshmen so the risk of getting cut is higher.
I never played golf so what are some tricks and good ways to practice.
Give me as much info as you can.
Are there any excesses I can do to make myself better.

Ok, so I just started Playing golf about a week ago. I have a couple problems…

First off, when I stroke the club, I always seem to miss the ball the firs t two or three strokes. How do I Prevent that?

Second, when I do hit the ball, it won’t go high, like it will just bounce around on the fairway. How can I make it go higher? .

And also when I hit the ball, it would just go off to the right. How can I make it go straight?

One more question: what are all the different clubs for? When do I use each one? It confuses me…

If you have any YouTube videos you know of that would help, please post a link. Thanks so much!!!!

If it helps I’m 17 years old…. right handed

One of the most common mental errors golfers make when driving the ball is to try and hit it as hard as possible.

This article will deal with golf driving tips to help you correct this problem that is hampering many golfers and greatly hindering them from making any progress.

Our minds already have certain set beliefs. One of them is that the more force we use on an object the further it will travel. What makes this particular even more difficult to get rid of in our golf is that it is also true from a scientific point of view. Only that there are a number of special variables that make it untrue in golf.

The first of this golf driving tips variables is the design of the golf club. Each club is cleverly designed to send the golf ball over a certain distance. A valuable golf driving tip here is to trust the club to do the job it was designed to do.

Secondly and even more important there is the variable of your body. Trying to hit the ball as hard as possible will usually result in a tense and inefficient physical swing. And in most cases the results are the direct opposite of what you desire.

One of the chief reasons for this is that many golfers are not physically prepared and their muscles are flabby, tense and weak. The poor results are therefore inevitable.

A really valuable golf driving tip is to condition your muscles by getting involved in a golf conditioning program.

Fitter and stronger muscles will prepare you better for your golf drive and will enable you to be more relaxed as you hit the ball and you will therefore gain much more distance as a result.

These are the golf driving tips that have proved so effective in correcting this common mistake in golfers and showing remarkable results in improvements.

Do you want to discover the secret to creating more power and consistency in your golf swing… and eliminate ALL your swing faults?

I’ve been playing golf for two years, so
I am still pretty new. Don’t get much practice though. I don’t hit very good off the tee, but I hit good with my irons. Putting is my weakness but that can be fixed.. I have questions that you might be able to answer for that little summary above.

1: On my irons, am I supposed to get backspin? Or would I have to play a ball like the Pro V1 to get some (I play the two piece Mojo right now)
2: Should I consider getting a longer iron like a 4 maybe… as of now I just use my hybrid on my par 5 fairway shots.
3: Does anybody else still use wooden tees? I tried those zero friction plastic ones but I don’t like the feel of it..
4: Do other peoples gloves get crisp after using them for a month or two?

Thanks for answering the questions. The most importiant one is the first one..

Joe has some advice on how to skip up on to the putting green

mannyg2199 asked:


they are really bad when it comes to eating our turf which leaves one of our holes looking pretty ugly. obviously there is a man made lake next to the hole. we’ve tried simple techniques such as putting up a fake owl or a fake gator as well as even feeding them so they dont feed on our turf. any advice for us?(keep in mind all advice must meet california regulations especially with repellents.) thank you

Pitching is a very important aspect of golfing; however, it is often ignored by most amateur golfers.

A great pitching game could take off several strokes from your handicap. Pitching is very useful especially when you need to hit above trees, water hazards and bunkers. Here are some golf pitching tips:

1. Do not look at your shot after making it. A lot of people are so excited to see how their shot goes, but watching it often turns into disaster.

2. Keep on focusing to deliver a mild downward wallop to your golf ball.

3. Try using lofted clubs for pitching. A sand wedge, pitching wedge, or a lob wedge usually does well for this. If you do not know which of your clubs is a pitching wedge, look at the sole of that club and look for the PW mark, sometimes you would just see a W or rarely, a number 10.

4. Position the ball at the center of your stance.

5. Depending on the length of you shot, your backswing should be shoulder-high, standard full-swing, or shoulder-high.

6. While standing on the tee or the fairway, always thing about the next shot you are about to make. Do not focus so much on the yardage that the hole has.

7. Instead of holding your club directly down the lower part of your grip, take hold of it. Hold it as if you are doing a chip. Keep your grip at the center.

8. Incline your body’s weight for about 60 to 40 percent on your forward foot.

9. Keep the **** or the top of your club pointing to your forward leg.

10. Be sure to take your club straight to the back as you swing.

11. In your follow through, try brushing the ground using your club’s head.

12. Take these tips on the course and practice as much as you can.

If you have not paid attention to your golf pitching, it is about time you check out how you pitch. Use these tips and see how quickly you improve your pitching.
