Golf 101 Tips – Find The Best Golf Clubs For Your Game
This publication is for the golfer who enjoys on course friendship, wants to enhance his game, though not willing or able to dedicate the necessary practice time. He can get very exasperated on the course and occasionally threatens to give up the game.
I am basically describing myself here and the situation escalated last August, 2011, at which time I quit golf after playing the game for over 35 years. I made the statement to my golfing buddies after yet another miserable day on the golf course.
For the subsequent three weeks I did not want to play, watch, or think about golf. I felt a void but my everyday disposition improved to where members of my own family actually told me I was more pleasant to be around. I was pleased with my decision, although I was starting to miss the game and the mix we had on the course.
The following week, my friends completely set me up into taking a golf lesson from a local professional. I reluctantly took the lesson. Inside 30 minutes the pro had me hitting more pure shots than I had the prior three years on the golf course. It was good to know I was still capable of hitting good golf shots. However, it was also crystal clear I had to find a more permanent golf attitude adjustment.
Here is the bottom line of what I learned and what I did:
- I have too many things I have to do off the golf course so my practice habits are not likely to change.
- I’m learning to live my life in the moment rather than the past. This definitely helps in golf.
- My “new” clubs are giving me growing confidence and my scores are improving consistently.
New best clubs: Today, pricing for everything is very competitive, including golf clubs. Retailers will let you play rounds of golf with any demo clubs you need. I took advantage of this and within 2 short weeks I absolutely knew what driver, sand wedge, putter, hybrid club, and irons were best for me. I then set out to find the best price on each club, almost all of which I found on the Internet.
