I’m taking lessons right now and really trying to get my swing down right…what I am experiencing tho is that my golf shot/ball flight (not swing…maybe it still is bad…but thats why Im taking lessons)…seems to be getting worse…I think its because now that my form is getting better and Im beginning to really understand the mechanics of a proper golf swing (although exectution is a totally different issue) I am not adjusting my swing to fit my equipment as much as in the past…I am really hitting a wall…anyone else experience the same thing when they really began to understand the golf swing? I have about 12 lessons left and really thinking about just stopping for now and getting some fitted clubs…what are some of your thoughts?
in response to danbetti…im not really blaming my equipment for my bad golf game…what im saying is, if your clubs dont fit…can you really perform what should be a textbook golf swing…i kno eldrick woods can pick up any club and smash the cover the cover off…ive got some cheap clubs that are cast iron and apparently very hard metal, so the pro shop wasnt able to adjust the lie…which they say is about 2.75-3 degrees to upright…which means at address my arms cant hang the way a “proper” swing calls for…i asked this question because whats the point of me taking lessons learning how to make a good golf swing, when my equipment prevents right from the get go a proper set up…im asking this question to find out if others have faced the same thing…i wasnt really blaming on my cheap clubs…im partly blaming clubs dont dont fit properly…so this question applies whether or not im swing $2K set that dont fit…
correction not danbetti…wbaker, the 2nd response.

The SUMO 2 doesn’t meet USGA C.O.R standards, and all current models in the market will have to be replaced to be legal. How badly will this damage Nike’s image in golf?

1 Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play (Normally one club and two balls)
2 Play on a course must be approved by the owner of the hole
3 Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and keep balls out of the hole
4 For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins
5 Course owners reserve the right to restrict the length of the club to avoid damage to the hole
6 The object of the game is to make as many strokes as necessary until the course owner is satisfied that the play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied permission to play the course again.
7 It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival at the course. The experienced player will normally take time to admire the entire course, with special attention to well formed bunkers.
8 Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played or are currently playing to the owner of the course being played. Upset course owners have been known to damage a player’s equipment for this reason
9 Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear along, just in case.
10 Players should assure themselves that their match has been properly scheduled, particularly when a new course is being played for the first time. Previous players have been known to become irate if they discover someone else playing what they consider to be a private course
11 Players should not assume a course is in shape for play at all times. Some players may be embarrassed if they find the course to be temporarily under repair. Players are advised to be extremely careful in this situation. More advanced players will find alternate means of play when this is the case.
12 Players are advised to obtain the course owner’s permission before attempting to play the back nine
13. Slow play is encouraged. However, players should be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course owner’s request.
14. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same hole several times in one match.
15. The course owner will be the sole judge of who is the best player.
16. Payment for membership is dependent upon the given course. Additional assessment may be levied by the course owner and the rules are subject to change. For this reason, many players prefer to continue to play several different courses.

JJapple sauce asked:


im a junior in highschool and im on the golf team. im not the best golfer in the world but i still do it. golf is the only team sport i do. Lately golf has been getting me down cause other members on the team dont seem to like me. Now i have done nothing wrong to them and have even tried to be friends with them but they dont seem to even give me the time of day. my friends that i usually hang out with dont do golf so none are on the team so i try and make some new friends and i get shunned. TOday i played and i was walking and my bag tilted forward and like two of my clubs fell out and these girls on the team were snickering and laughing. Im almost to a point where i dont want to go to practice and i dont want to talk to the coach about it cause that would be weird and embarressing. i just cant stand how these other kids think there all better then me. im more then nice and put out an effort and i understand that not everybody is gonna like me but i go to practice and nobody even talks to me and i just do everything by myself while they chat and laugh and have a good time. i just feel like i dont fit in. It seems really clicky and it makes me feel bad also cause they all have top of the line high dollar equipment and mine is just ok. please help all this is making me really change my thoughts about the golf team.

I’m finally starting to get into Golf. Throughout my 16 years of life, I have played several sports and dropped out of them in the end. But I seem to like Golf and I could visualize myself being a decent player and playing to my adult ages to senior ages.

I don’t know a lot about Golf since I’m just beginning. I’ve been to my Wal-Mart store, and they don’t have a big selection. The other day I went to Boscov’s and they have twice as much of a selection. Their prices range from $80-$250. Sometime soon, I plan on going to Dick’s Sporting Goods.

I don’t want to spend a fortune on equipment since I don’t know if I’m going to perminantly stick with it. I really hope I do, but I can’t promise anything. I’m looking for anything that’d be good for a beginner. Something like an all in one set. (Including a bag).

My goal is to spend within $80-$130. I would go a little higher if it’s really necessary, but I need some other money for balls and other stuff too. Are socks really necessary to your Driver’s and other clubs? My friend’s seem to make a big deal over them, I just don’t get it.

So, what would you recommend for that type of budget? I’m open to any suggestions. However, I’d like to buy my stuff sometime this week so I can go Golfing with my friend this upcoming Saturday.

Thanks for your help!

lysendon20 asked:


Whats something that I could buy my husband for his golf game? He has played college golf for 4 years, and he has recently just turned professional. and he hits a average drive at about 340. NO! this is not bull shit. it is possible, so dont even start thinking that. He has a extremely fast club head speed about 132 mph, his short game is awesome. I dont really know what to buy him for his b-day. I have no idea what he’s got, but i know he is about to buy that driver where you can adjust the weights to hit more of a cut shot, or a draw… He said its the most used driver on tour right now. I have no idea what would be good for him. Are there any clubs or equipment out there that any guy would love to have?I need ideas! Someone that knows what they are talking about help!
