Golfing Equipment. Preparing Properly For Golf

by David Hill

Like any other game or sport, golf requires that you are geared up correctly to be able to properly take part fully in the game. This article will give you a basic conception of basic golf equipment a golfer requires to be proficient to understand and play golf.

To start with, the minimum piece of golf equipment is a golf ball. These balls are always dimpled, they are tiny , and vital to your game of golf. They are designed to fly much further distances when driven hard during your game.


Another must-have in golf equipment is a golf club or driver. The Golf drivers are made in many differing varieties. This is because a golf course has different landscapes and various golf clubs are required to create the proper drive. It depends so much on the landscape, could be sand, maybe grass or, in some cases, even cement, a club is absolutely essential to make that perfect drive.


Pro golfers invariably have a couple of golf club bag trolleys to provision to their golf needs. Most golf stores and sports kit outlets sell golf clubs. Some golf clubs are sold in sets whilst other are sold individually. To protect your golf equipment, such as your golf club, a golf bag golf club cover is important. A golf bag will, of course, hold your golf club in one spot and will make it easier for your caddy to bring your many golf clubs. Golf baggage can also hold golf balls and other golf equipment like a drinks bottle to quench your thirst while under the sun or an additional shirt or your regular shoes.


On the other side of the coin, a golf club sleeve covers the edge of your golf club. This is necessary so to protect your golf club from those accidental scratches and dents. Dents can make your drive to go from ok to bad.


Dents in golf clubs can affect the drive of your golf ball. With these golf clubs, you can take very good care of the state of your golf club and your game. One golf equipment we feel you need to lay out on is a good pair of golf shoes.


Golfing footwear is different from every-day rubber shoes or the average walking shoes. Golf shoes are created to not make indents or other marks on greens - the species of grass where the sport is played. Golf shoes usually have spiked rubber under the soles to grip the earth and sand under your feet.


In this way, all unnecessary movement is avoided. This is a crucial point because any movement at all can inadvertantly cause you to incorrectly hit the golf ball or to hit the golf ball in the area of the course you do not want to be .


If you plan to play professional golf a decent pair of golf shoes is a necessary golf kit to add up to your list. Select one that is firm and supportive, yet comfortable for you to walk in.


Golf is a recreation which requires walking from one hole to another or to where your ball landed (you can not use golf carts on the greens) and thus, if your golf shoes are not a perfect fit, you would find it a a hard job to concentrating on your game.


A golf equipment usually supplied by the majority golf courses (aside from the golf ball) is the tee. The tee is the tiny pin like thing that you punch to the earth to stand your golf ball into. The tee is use in teeing off (the start of your first force) thus the name.


The most amazing golf items ,at any time, created (for me, that is) is the golf cart. Golf carts can whisk you from one hole to the other, though as I said previously they are banned from the greens, they still reduce the chore of having to trek under the hot sun.


This golf equipment can be purchased from golf courses. Golf players are usually made to use golf equipment such as this to permit them a more successful and easier time playing the game of golf.


Many specialty shops and sport shops offer golf accoutrements. The internet is acknowledged as being a good source of golf equipment. Second hand golf equipment are even auctioned off the internet, if you are on a tight budget. Check out your nearby golf store, sports store, specialty shops, E-bay or Yahoo! for your golf equipment requirements.

Hints On Golf Putter

Speed Controls Distance
The seemingly obvious fact that the sand (not the club) moves the ball out of the bunker is often misunderstood. To control the distance your bunker shots travel, you have to be able to manage the speed of the sand, which isn't as difficult as you might imagine. The length of the swing is irrelevant�it's the speed of the clubhead that really matters. Practice pitching sand out of a bunker until you can consistently control how far it goes, and only then add a golf ball to the equation.
...Golf Tips magazine

Assuming the texture of the sand is similar, and the ball is not plugged, the technique for hitting out of a greenside bunker remains the same for shots up to 30 yards (27m). The key to making this shot is hitting the sand about 1 to 2 inches behind the ball, throwing the sand forward with the ball. For longer shots the only thing that changes is the swing's length. Rhythm and tempo remain the same.

Lean Left. It�s critical to start and keep your weight toward your front foot during the entire motion of a bunker shot. This encourages the club to sustain its speed through impact, which in turn creates the wave of sand necessary to carry the ball in the air.

Check out Jean Littler's golf book for yourself and learn how to swing a golf club the right way!

How To Swing A Golf Club - Let Gene Teach You!


With swinging a golf club so vital to playing a great game of golf, just about everyone eventually looks for information or lessons on how to swing a golf club. For many it becomes a quest like the Holy Grail, finding the perfect golf swing.


And for some people, learning how to swing a golf club and swinging it well becomes a very simple task. For others it becomes a very difficult task, finding it difficult to understand how you can keep your arms "straight" and still feel natural, swinging a golf club and driving the ball any distance at all. Anything sound familiar here?


No matter how you swing a golf club, the golf swing can be broken down into individual components. You have the backswing, the downswing, the impact of the club with the ball and the follow-through after the impact. Each and every one of these has to be done in a specific way for the shot to be successful. Many people struggle with fitting them all together smoothly. And then many people forget about the pre-shot routine, another aspect of the golf swing that is highly neglected. Take a look at all of your professional PGA golfers and you will see that they have a consistent and usually very brief pre-shot routine. Then visit your local golf course and watch the long drawn out affairs so many people engage in before they hit a golf ball. And if you watch long enough you'll actually see that most people never do the same thing twice. Unlike the golf professional, the duffer has a varied pre-shot routine both in time and method. Neglecting any aspect of your golf swing is a sure fire way to higher scores.


One of the best things we have today to help someone learn how to swing a golf club properly is the video. We can now watch each and every golfer from our Tiger Woods of today to Jack Nicholas and Bobby Jones of yesterday to see exactly how a golf swing should be performed. We are fortunate to be in such an era where the Internet can deliver video on demand for just about every pro golfer on the PGA Tour. We can see exactly how a golf club should be swung for optimum performance.


But keep in mind that these videos still needs to be used in conjunction with golf lessons. A few good golf lessons with a local pro and then a watching how the PGA professionals put it into effect, can do wonders to advance your game. But what about if you can't afford golf lessons? Well, there are a number of good books on the market that you can read and then watch how the pros apply it. One of the best e-books I've ever seen is one put out by Golf Hall of Fame legend Gene Littler. Littler had a fluid swing I could only dream about. If you don't believe me, you can find videos of this golf legend and see his amazing fluid golf swing for yourself. many have called his swing the best, or at the very least the second-best, golf swing of all-time.


Whatever you decide, use the advantages of video technology along with golf lessons or golf books to learn how to swing a golf club properly. Not spending time to get the fundamental down properly will impede your progress and make the game less enjoyable. Spend a few dollars targeted to the right knowledge and watch your golf scores drop instead!

All golfers should use standard length clubs unless he or she is short or tall. Standard length clubs allow players to hit the ball on center a higher percentage of the time, thus increasing distance and accuracy. In recent years, light weight Titanium driver heads and Ultralight graphite shafts have extended driver playing lengths from a standard 43-431/2" to 44-46". This is good news and bad news. The good news is, when you increase length, you will increase distance. The longer the club, the more club head speed generated , thus more distance. The bad news is, the longer the club the more difficult it is to control, thus less accuracy. To put this into perspective, the following information will be helpful. A driver hit on center at 43" = 250 yds. 43 1/2"= 262 yds. 44" = 270 yds. 44 1/2" = 275 yds. 45" = 275-280 yds. As you can see a significant increase in distance is achieved up to 44". After 44", distance increases only a minimal amount . CONCLUSION - It is not worth sacrificing accuracy for the minimal amount of distance gained past 44". Keep driver playing lengths to 44" or less

You can�t fire a gun unless you pull the trigger, right? A similar concept also applies to the golf swing, which also usually requires a �trigger move� to get the body moving. Now, not everyone has a trigger, some manage to swing well from a static position to a dynamic position. But for the rest of us who often find confusion when it comes to where to start the golf swing, a trigger move can help you start swinging in a fluid and consistent manner.
