GOLF EQUIPMENT: GEARING UP PROPERLY FOR GOLF

Like any other sports, golf requires that you are geared up correctly to be able to properly play the game.
This article will give you an idea of basic golf equipment one requires to be able to learn and play golf.

For starters, the basic golf equipment is a golf ball. Golf balls are dimpled tiny balls, use in to play golf.
They are dimpled to reach farther length when driven by golf clubs.

Another important golf equipment is a golf club or golf driver. Golf drivers come in different varieties.
This is because a golf course has different landscapes and different golf clubs are required to make the proper
 drive. Depending on the landscape, either sand, grass or cement, a golf club is essential to make the perfect drive.
Professional golfers usually have a bag or two of golf clubs to cater to their golf needs.

Most golf stores and sports equipment store sell golf clubs.
Some golf clubs are sold in sets while other are sold individually.

To protect your golf equipment, such as your golf club, a golf bag golf club cover is essential.
A golf bag will, of course, hold your golf club in one place and will make it easier for your caddy to bring
your many golf clubs.

Golf bags can also hold golf balls and other golf equipment like water bottle to quench your thirst while under the sun
or extra shirt or your regular shoes. On the other hand, a golf club cover covers the edge of your golf club.

This is done so to protect your golf club from unwanted scratches and dents.
Dents can cause your drive to go from ok to bad. Dents in golf clubs can affect the drive of your golf ball.
With these golf equipment, you can take care of the state of your club and your game.

One golf equipment that you need to invest on is a good pair of golf shoes.
Golf shoes are different from usual rubber shoes or walking shoes.
Golf shoes are created to walk on greens - the type where the sport is played.

Golf shoes usually have pointed rubber under the soles to grip the earth and sand under your feet.
This way, unnecessary shaking or moving is avoided.
This is important because shaking can cause you to not hit the golf ball or to hit the golf ball in the wrong direction.

If you plan to play professional golf a good pair of golf shoes is a necessary golf equipment to add up to your list.
Choose one that is sturdy yet comfortable enough for you to walk into.

Golf is a sport that 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 uncomfortable, you would have a hard time
concentrating on your game.

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

The most amazing golf equipment ever created (for me, that is) is the golf cart.
Golf carts can take you from one hole to the other, though as I said earlier they are not allowed on the greens,
they still lessen the burden of having to walk under the hot sun. This golf equipment can be acquired from golf courses.
Golf players are usually made to use golf equipment such as this to give them a better and easier time playing the sport.

Many specialty shops and sport shops offer golf equipment. The internet is also 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 local golf shop, sports shop, specialty shops, E-bay or Yahoo! for your golf equipment needs.

Good day!

Tough Conditions

Have you ever gone to play a round of golf and the first hole the wind is straight into you, the next two holes it’s blowing out of the right, the next two holes it’s from the left, then four holes in a row straight back into the wind, and then it gets worse?

The next three holes it’s blowing harder from the left. Then you get the shortest hole in the golf course downwind. And then, of course, you know the rest of the story, the next three holes, the longest holes in the golf course, dead into the teeth of it.

Well, those are tough driving days and you have to be prepared to react to it, because the wind isn’t going to stop just for you.

And when you're playing well, I know you're going to laugh, but it seems like every hole’s downwind. And when you're playing difficult, it seems like every one of them is into a gale.

Remember this about tough driving days, this driver is not always the answer. How many times have you driven the golf ball 50 yards left of the fairway and only wished that you would have hit 6 iron off of the tee to get a better golf swing?

I’m not advocating that into the wind. However, the flatter the face on the golf club, the more the golf ball’s going to curve and the better your  GOLF SWING  will be. And the windier it is, it exaggerates the curve if it’s going in the direction of the wind. So, this isn’t always the answer.

I have a 1 iron that I love, and I have driven with it many times on windy days, even into the wind, because it was important to find the golf ball in the fairway and not out of bounds.

So, don’t forget this is not the answer on rugged days. This is the answer when you're driving the ball well.

When you're not, it might be a 3 wood. Don’t give into the driver.

Thanks and have a great day.
