First of all, one of the most popular Titleist Drivers is known as the . This also includes the D1 as well, which is a slight variation of this brand. This is a large headed 460cc driver, and contains a very significant amount of inertia which gives the club increased distance and also a high forgiveness level-excellent for players with higher handicaps.

This club also has a higher MOI, which essentially describes how much the club resist to twisting. With a high MOI, you can hit the ball much farther, and the 907 D1 and D2 certainly contains this feature. The club comes at a price of about $500, and if you are a serious golfer, this would certainly make an excellent choice for you.

The next up is the Titleist Pro Titanium 905R and S models. These clubs contain a very high launch and low spin ratio in order to achieve maximum distance off the tee.

Investing money while in college is not something that most people think about. Should you really start investing your money this early? Here's the short answer: it is never too early to start investing money.

As George Clason stated in the , the best way to become wealthy is to always take 10% of your income out immediately and put it somewhere where your money will work for you. Certainly, this applies to college students as well.

Even if you make very little money, and therefore don't have much cash built up to invest, by investing money while in college you will at least start to so that when you have some , you will know exactly what to do with it. here are some investing tips to help you bypass the mistakes most make, and to help you on the road to financial freedom very quickly.

First of all, here's something you need to know before you start investing money in college: you should always invest in well run companies that have exhibited a long profitable history. Most investors make the mistake of thinking that the big money is made with the smaller, more that nobody's heard of. While some investors have certainly made a fortune with these riskier investments, by far the majority either lose money or barely break even.

Next, always stick with a company that you understand, so that you can tell how profitable they are and how good their future outlook is. This is an important strategy employed by and other top investors, and it is largely responsible for their success. Consider this: if you are investing in a company that you don't understand, how will you ever be able to predict their future earnings potential.

For instance, if you are an avid golfer, then you will easily be able to predict how well a golf company is doing. For instance, if you play with 5 straight people who all hit Titleist drivers, and all your friends use them, you can figure that Titleist is probably making some good money.

In fact, Peter Lynch, a very successful mutual fund manager for a long time, said that one of the easiest ways to find out a good place to invest in is to go to the mall and see which stores many people are visiting. If a store is popular, you can bet they are making some serious profits.

No matter what, always remember that investing in money while in college can never hurt you, and can in fact give you some invaluable experience for when you get older.

The Scotty Cameron line of putters from is a very extensive line. The Scotty merged with Titleist about 10 years ago and since then all the putters marketed by Titleist are designed by Cameron. All the brand names associated with are owned by Titleist. Cameron's designs are esthetically pleasing, and some of his putters almost look like works of art or sculpture.

The Detour line of putters are rather remarkable looking instruments. The putter heads consist of a blade type and an attached back body plate, perpendicular to the face, which has a long aiming line. Both the back body plate and the aiming line are curved. Cameron is convinced that an arced stroke is the proper stoke for putting rather than a stroke that attempts to be straight along the from back to finish. The arc of the putter would move inside the target line in the , the putter would come square to the target line at ball impact, and the arc would continue inside the target line after the ball is struck. This is sometimes referred to as an inside-neutral-inside putting stroke. Not all the experts agree that an arced stroke is the proper one for putting. The renowned short game guru, Dave Pelz, states in his book "Putt Like the Pros" that most golfers would be better off with a stroke that remains along the target line throughout, although he acknowledges that many golfers, including top pros, use the arced , often with considerable success. Belly putters have become popular in recent years, and it is obvious that one is forced to use an arced stoke with such a putter.

The arced back plate is made of an aircraft aluminum material. It has some holes in the bottom to take weight out of the middle of the plate, and a stainless steel weight is inserted in the back to place weight further back. The putter face is made of stainless steel and has a higher toe than heel. An addition weight is inserted into the toe of the putter head as well. The putter face also has a cushion material, called an Elastomer cushion, to give a softer feel at impact. All these weight redistribution techniques are used to increase the moment of inertia (MOI) of the putter and place the center of gravity (CG) of the club head in what Cameron considers the optimum positions. Increasing the MOI means that the club will be more forgiving on off center hits. The main and most obvious feature of the Detour line, however, is the curved back plate and curved aiming line which is truly a unique innovation.

There are a total of 4 putters that have the Detour technology. They include the Detour and Detour 2, and the difference in these two clubs is that the Detour has a one shaft offset, whereas the shaft of the Detour 2 is straight. The Detour technology has also been incorporated into one of the older and popular lines of Cameron putters called the Newport line. The Newport 2 and the Newport 2.5 Detour putters both sport the curved flange and its associated weight distribution system described above. All four Detour putters have a loft of 4 degrees and a standard lie angle of 71 degrees. The Detour 2 and the Newport 2.5 Detour are not available for left handers. There are some options for length and club head weight on most of the models.

The Detour putters by Scotty Cameron are remarkably creative innovations. Great attention is paid to esthetics and how the putter sits and looks to the golfer's eye. IN addition the mix of materials used t produce the clubs take into account not only weight distribution and such technical issues as MOI and CG, but great effort is also placed into optimizing the feel and sound the putter makes at ball impact. It will be interesting to see how popular these ideas become in the future, especially the long curved aiming line. All four of the Detour putters have a retail price of $300, so they are expensive, premium clubs. Walt Ballenberger is a life-long golfer and founder of Golf Putters, a resource site for golfers.

Also, these make excellent gifts if you are a company and want to give personalized golf balls as a gift to your employees. Giving them out can be a very effective way to boost employee morale, and you again can put whatever item you want on the golf ball.

Since so many people play , and because balls are not cheap, this is definitely something that the employees who play will appreciate, as it will save them considerable money.

Finally, you can also use personalized golf balls as , which is something that every golfer will benefit from. Tournament gifts are always a dilemma for any , because they want to make their tournament stand out from others, and therefore don't want to just give the same dull gifts everybody else is giving out.

While these golf balls are certainly common (after all, almost every tournament gives them out) there's a reason for this-the golfers appreciate them, and you know they will be using the golf balls in the future.

One word of caution-make sure the balls you use are high quality, as these are what will really keep tournament players coming back again and again. Sure, you can always save money by purchasing cheap balls instead of those Titleist ones, but the players will not appreciate them as much, so you want to be sure you go all out for these.

A little extra expense is worth it if it boosts the image of your tournament and more importantly, the money it brings in.

What places will personalize the balls for you? Actually, quite a few-finding them really isn't difficult. When you do a simple online search, you will find many companies that will do this for you. just email them the design you want, and the number of balls, and they will get started right way.

Typically, you will receive them between two and three weeks from then, and if you want them for a tournament or to give as a gift for a holiday, make sure you plan accordingly.

How much is all this going to cost you? Actually, less than you might imagine. Personalized golf balls are only slightly more than regular balls, and again, they make an ideal gift, whether it be during the holidays or a tournament.For more important info on getting the best personalized golf balls for either a gift or your tournament, check out http://www.internetgolfinfo.com.

In addition, if you are a business and want to get the word out about your firm, putting you name on custom balls is a very effective method, especially if the golf balls are high such as Titleist, Nike, etc.

More and more companies are putting their names on golf balls as an effort to get more publicity, and while it's certainly not a free way, it can be very effective. The problem, of course, is that nobody really knows how effective this form of advertising is, because it's impossible to track.

Whereas if you are running a +adwords" rel="tag">Google Adwords campaign, you can quickly and easily see if you are turning a profit or not, having your name on custom golf balls is virtually impossible to measure, because how can you tell if business comes from seeing your name on a golf ball?

The only way to tell this is to ask each customer how they found out about you, which isn't out of the question, but it's still one of the more difficult to measure, so keep this in mind. It's just another for you to consider.

If you think your company is too small to have their name on golf balls, however, think again. Nowadays, most companies are accepting bigger and smaller orders for these, so if you just want to run a small test to start with (which I'd highly recommend) these are very effective ways. In past years, most of the golf ball companies only took bigger orders, and your company unusually had to be a larger size to do so. However, that is no longer the case.

Of course, most companies still have a minimum order requirements, so you can't just order one or two-you will need to meet the rules, but this won't be an earth shattering number. Again, I definitely wouldn't recommend spending a fortune on a huge order until you've tested them and have seen a noticeable spike in business as a result of them.

Where can you find these companies that make custom golf balls? The internet, as with just about anything nowadays, is a very effective method, and you can often times just input your order into an online form, and the company will make them and ship them out without you ever having to talk with anybody from the company.

One thing I'd recommend before ordering custom balls is to call up a company not competing with you that you know has used these balls, and ask them how effective they have found them to be. Obviously, the companies in your market aren't going to be willing to divulge this, so make sure it's a company outside of your industry.

This will really give you the rundown on their effective and whether or not custom golf balls are worth your investment.Fore more info on custom golf balls, whether it be for advertising or just a gift, check out internetgolfinfo.com.

But it doesn't have to cost a fortune to get the equipment you need to perform well out on the . Pre-owned golf clubs can be just as good as brand new clubs -- and they cost half as much!

Purchasing the right kind of golf equipment does not have to be an expensive activity. There are many that empty out their inventories by selling their equipment cheap to discount stores. There is nothing wrong with the equipment, it is just that they need to move it quickly so they reduce the price and sell it in bulk to large-scale discount stores.

There are also plenty of ways to purchase pre-owned and a pre- club, through local trading newspapers and on E-bay and other used goods websites on the Internet. Pre-owned golf clubs will give you the opportunity to save you money on what can be an expensive investment in a hobby. If golf is your primary hobby, then you deserve to have the best clubs to play with because they can make all the difference to your level of performance. Callaway, Ping, Titleist and Nike pre-owned clubs give everyone the opportunity to have the name brand clubs without having to spend a fortune.

These are the brands you will want to seek out. You will usually be able to pick up a full set of clubs for less than half price if you look around. And then you too can say you own a set of the best. As an example, are known worldwide as the choice in golf clubs. Ping golf clubs have been the prized possession of many a golfer for decades but because of the price many people opt for the pre-owned instead. Ping is now one of the most recognizable names in golf and this is largely because they make good quality equipment. But as with all name brand golf clubs, Ping clubs can be pricey. Ping golf clubs are generally among the most expensive of all the available brands.

They do excel in performance, but that does come at a price. So how can you obtain discount Ping golf clubs so you don't break the bank? Ping golf clubs are usually custom fit and when you buy, Ping can get the clubs that best suit your game. They have a variety of different lines that are designed for each individual and indeed each individual's game. But this is an expensive way to kit yourself out, so it is best to search out a pre-owned or discount set of clubs if you are a golf enthusiast rather than a professional player. But how can you do this? Easy.

There are two options for purchasing discount Ping golf clubs. Firstly, you can head to your local sports warehouse where they sell name brands at discount prices or you can let your fingers do the walking and purchase a set of clubs online -- either pre-owned or brand new. If you do decide to purchase Ping golf clubs, you will simply fall in love with these clubs. They are of the highest quality. They will perform for you every time. Ping golf clubs are among the best in their class. These clubs are favorites all over recreational golf courses across the world.

Most golfers can get their ball on the green in at least one to , but it's the putting that takes the skill of golf to a new level and where an average person on the can become a great golfer. The difference between the two is typically the shortest of shots during a round of play.

To learn some great that can improve your score, keep reading.

Use the Right Putter

It may seem elementary, but there are a lot of golfers using that are too small, not heavy enough, too heavy or too big. While you don't have to buy the most expensive putter on the market, you should own a quality putter that fits your body type and actually feels good in your hands.

Some golfers carry two putters, a lighter one for fast greens and a heavier one for slower greens. Typically though, you want a putter with good weight on it and a length that lets you properly control your shot. If, for example, you are a taller person and your putter is too short for your height, you would then likely need to overcompensate by hunching over while putting, and negatively impact your stroke.

Grip Your Putter Well

While you want to grip your putter comfortably, you also need to grip it well. Wearing your gloves, keep your thumbs pointed downward and on the of the . You should then grip your putter softly, but consistently.

Once you've settled on a grip, keep it and don't let up until you've followed through with the shot. Though this may initially feel unnatural, ongoing practice will help you to adjust and become more comfortable.

Keep Yourself Stable

In order to become more proficient at putting, you need to focus on keeping your body steady and stable, especially your lower half. Maintain your feet and legs as grounded and steady, and use your upper body to swing the putter while holding the lower portion of your body as still as possible.

Cure Your Yips

A yip is when you miss an easy or short putt. This occassionally happens to everybody - even the best golfers. The best cure is to regain confidence and develop a good putting routine.

If you've ever watched a pro basketball player before he makes a foul shot, he often goes through a routine of movements before making his shot. Watch professional golfers before a put and you'll see they have a pattern of shaking out their gloves, stretching their arms or tapping the putter handle. Though such movements may all look like a series of nervous habits, these routines typically help steady the nerves and develop comfort before the next shot.

These small sets of movements can not only help relax you for your next putt, but also create a rhythm for your shot and keep the number of yips to a minimum.For both practical and exciting golf course general golfing improvement aids, golf balls information and more, please visit www.golf-the-course.com, a popular site providing great insights concerning all kinds of relevant interests for the golf enthusiast.]]> Custom Golf Clubs- The Way To Go http://www.artwoo.com/article/custom-golf-clubs-the-way-to-go http://www.artwoo.com/article/custom-golf-clubs-the-way-to-go#comments Fri, 03 Aug 2007 22:24:59 +0000 custom golf clubscustom golf clubloftanglesmeasurementlaunchirons http://www.artwoo.com/article/custom-golf-clubs-the-way-to-go s are your best option. The downside of having custom fitted and custom made clubs is obviously the cost. However, I have spoken to certified custom club makers who say that they can get a golfer into a high quality set for about the cost of an off-the-shelf set from the top club sellers like Calloway or Titleist, for example. These clubs will not carry the leading brand names of course, but they are produced in the same factories as those of the top brand name clubs, on the same equipment and to the same quality standards. For a set of eight with steel shafts, this can de done for about $800 or so, depending on the specific components chosen. Of course each custom golf club maker sets his or her own prices so these numbers can vary substantially. You should speak with a certified club maker to figure out what the exact cost would be for your set of custom golf clubs. A web site URL to locate a certified custom club fitter/maker near you will be pointed out at the end of this article.

What Does a Custom Club Fitting Consist Of?

Hitting a few balls with a couple of different clubs from a company trailer at a driving range is not a real custom fitting. You may get a feel for what clubs with different shafts, weights, lie , etc., feel like, but that's about it. Most custom club makers will have a procedure that resembles the following:

- Interview and existing equipment analysis

- of swing speeds with driver and 5 iron and measurement of angles

- Measurement of height and wrist to floor distance

- Swing Analysis to determine optimum shaft weight and flex, swing weight and/or optimum MOI (there are actually several moments of inertia to be considered in the process)

- Determine specific shafts and matching club heads

- Determine set make-up, driver , loft and lie angle of irons, loft and bounce angles of wedges, proper grips

- Build clubs and make final loft and lie adjustments.

Some club makers might even build a prototype club for the golfer to try out before making final decisions.

Clubs Just Right For You

If you go out and spend a lot of money on a set of brand name off-the-shelf golf clubs, you really don't know if those clubs will fit you properly or fit your game. They were no doubt made for some hypothetical "average" golfer of average size and ability. Is that you? Chances are about 10 to 1 it isn't. The only way to be certain about this is to have custom golf clubs built for you, and more and more golfers are realizing this and getting better results. An excellent resource to locate a certified club maker near you is the web site of Tom Wishon, noted club maker and author. On his site at www.golfclubliteracy.com is a list of certified club makers he personally recommends, as well as a link to the web site of the PCS (Professional Clubmakers Society) which has a list of its members.

Obviously the answer is to save money, and that is understandable. Drivers can easily cost $400-500, and some hybrids cost over $200 each. These days a good set of clubs can be a significant investment, so there is certainly a temptation to save money if at all possible. How might one approach this using clone golf clubs?

Three Ways to Purchase Clone Golf Clubs

This article will discuss three ways to purchase clone golf clubs. The more money one is willing to pay, the less risk there is in obtaining a high quality set. Let's examine these three approaches.

Purchase Ready Built Clones

Of course you can go to one of many web sites selling clone golf clubs and simply make a purchase. These golf clubs often look like those from Calloway, , or other , but they are substantially less expensive. This is the most risky alternative. If you pay $39 for a club that looks just like a club priced at $169, are you getting the same thing? Was the club made in the same factory and on the same machinery as the brand name club or at another with equivalent quality? Was it manufactured using raw materials of the same quality and to the same tolerances? The chances of all that being the case are small. Let's examine this for a moment.

Outsourcing of Club Manufacturing

The vast majority of clubs sold by the major brands are outsourced to factories in low wage parts of the world. Of the less than 100 foundries in the world which make golf clubs, only a small number have the solid quality systems in place to interest the major brand golf club companies. The others produce clubs that sell for very low prices in department stores or low cost web sites, for example. They only survive because they can sell their output at low prices. So would it be a surprise if lower were used, like scrap metal instead of carbon steel? Could their machines hold the same tolerances as the quality foundries do? Can they afford to train their employees to the same level? Do they use the same quality golf shafts in their clubs? If they are selling low cost products on thin margins, they will probably cut corners wherever possible. Let's just put it this way: you are not going to get a $169 club for $39, no matter how much the two may be made to look the same.

Make Your Own Clubs

A less risky alternative is purchasing the components and assembling the clubs yourself. To end up with a higher quality product you need to be sure the heads are manufactured in a quality foundry. There are component suppliers who are reputable and who can prove they sell top quality parts. As for shafts, there is a large component market for shafts from the top companies like Aldila, Grafalloy or True Temper, among many others, who supply the major brand club companies as well. Quality grips are also readily available. Assembling clubs and grips is not that difficult. Golfsmith sells components and can instruct you how to do this. Not too many tools are required, and Golfsmith can also provide support at either their retail stores or on the phone. The main problem with this approach is that you need to know which components to purchase, which heads, what type of shaft, etc. This will be discussed in more detail below.

There are three key areas of study that will take you from a mediocre to a great one. They are athletic ability, skill and etiquette. Keep reading to learn the fundamentals of these golf elements along with a few tips on how to improve.

Athletic Ability

Admittedly, golf is a low- - some don't even regard golf as a sport - but it still requires a healthy amount of walking, the strength needed to hit the ball a lengthy distance and your ability to stay focused during a round.

Though a surprise to many, the better shape you're in, the better your golf game will be. Golf may seem like a , but it requires more exertion than is apparent on the surface. Spending several hours on the course during the heat of the day to play 18 holes takes its toll.

Brisk walks or work around the house are great ways to maintain and improve your cardiovascular health. With a and regular exercise, you'll see your golf game improve noticeably.

Another two facets of health and fitness that are critical to a game like golf are and vision. For example, if your game has been inexplicably becoming progressively worse, try having your eyes checked. And while on the course preparing for a shot, practice focussing on each shot rather than letting your mind wander.

Skill

Like most sports, the key to skill development in golf is practice. By setting and adhering to a regular practice schedule, you're setting yourself up for success.

If you don't have the funds or time to indulge in multiple rounds of golf every week, opt instead for a trip to the driving range or an afternoon spent practicing shots with your putter.

Perhaps you can't afford individual training with a golf pro. However, you may be able to split the cost with training in . At a minimum, you can certainly purchase a recording of golf tips to learn from those who train others.

Balance your practice with ongoing education about the game. Remember, golf is as much about strategy as it is about ability, so read the occasional golf magazine, watch an instructional video, take a lesson or even just stop by the pro shop occasionally to check out new technologies.

Etiquette

One of the most important, yet most often overlooked, facets of golf is golf course etiquette. How you behave on the green reflects on your understanding of the game as well as you as a person.

Golf can be a solitary sport, but it's often played competitively and because it's a gentlemen's sport, good sportsmanship is key. A great golf player is quiet when others are lining up a shot, allows faster players to play through and always has respect for his fellow players.

Golf can also at times seem to be a game that torments and teases when your shots don't go as intended. These are the instances when keeping your cool is much better than expressing frustration through foul language or - worse - slamming or throwing golf equipment.For both practical and exciting golf course general golfing improvement aids, golf balls information and more, please visit www.golf-the-course.com, a popular site providing great insights concerning all kinds of relevant interests for the golf enthusiast.]]> Club Fit - It Only Makes Sense http://www.artwoo.com/article/club-fit-it-only-makes-sense http://www.artwoo.com/article/club-fit-it-only-makes-sense#comments Thu, 07 Feb 2008 18:19:59 +0000 club head speedhandicap golfergolf ironsclub fitswing characteristicspga professionalproper questions http://www.artwoo.com/article/club-fit-it-only-makes-sense club fit for your new clubs. Yes, it may cost you another fee to be club fit for a set of golf clubs but, trust me; this will be less than 10% of the price of your new investment. If this still seems like to much money, find a local who will include the cost with a purchase of a Driver or a set of . To use the phrase from Nike, Just Do It. Let me tell you why owning a set of golf clubs that is built to your specifications is so important.

All golfers are not created equal. Every single golfer is a little bit different in size, body frame as well as the shape of their golf swing. A proper custom club fit will result in a set of clubs that are specifically suited to your height, strength, and individual .

What most people do not realize is that off-the-shelf golf clubs are one-size-fits-few. Approximately 10% of all club fittings end up with standard specs. Actually golf manufacturers have changed their standards multiple times over the last ten years. Since custom fitting has gained popularity with the average golfer, manufacturing companies have made lie angles more upright and lofts stronger. This obviously is in an attempt to help the average to higher .

A club fit can be performed by a PGA Professional. How do you go about finding the right PGA Professional to fit you? Ask a lot of questions. Just like you are trying to find a doctor or a dentist, ask your friends, co-workers and call golf shops. The to ask are as follows:

=C2=B7 Is the professional certified by a major manufacturer to fit their clubs?

=C2=B7 Does the PGA Professional have a fitting cart or multiple fitting carts with what you are looking for (Mens, Ladies, steel, graphite, right-handed, left-handed clubs) available?

=C2=B7 How experienced is the PGA Professional?

=C2=B7 Will I be fit outdoors to see the entire ball flight?

Contrary to the belief of many, this does not have to be a time-consuming or expensive endeavor. A very basic clubfitting might take as little as 15 minutes, with the average being 30-45 minutes.

As for price, some clubs will give you a fitting free of charge as long as you agree to purchase your new set from them. Most charge a modest fee, perhaps $35 to $50 being typical.

Expect to hit many variations of the same type club. For instance, a well-equipped fitting center might have dozens (in some cases, hundreds) of a particular club, usually a 6-iron for men and a 7-iron for women. Each of the 6-irons will be different from the next in some way.

The idea is to find the best combination of shaft (length, flex and kickpoint), loft (standard, strong or flat), lie (strong or flat), grip and swingweight, among other factors.

By watching the ball flight produced by each variation of a club, and checking chalk marks left on adhesive strips attached to the clubface and sole, a clubfitter can quickly narrow the search and lead the student to the best fit.

The club fit procedure can be done for every club in the bag, including putters, but iron fittings are most common, with driver fittings following closely behind.

Of course, a proper club fit only works if you follow up by purchasing a set of clubs custom made to those specifications. Two things to keep in mind: If you want a set of, for example, Titleist clubs, the ones you order after a proper clubfitting will cost approximately the same as the same set bought off the shelf; and a golfer is under no obligation to purchase a set from the pro doing the measurements.

So there's little reason for anyone in the market for new clubs to avoid a proper club fit. Wireless Golf Coach has all of your online golf instruction.

Golf balls can also vary dramatically in price - from about $9.99 /dozen to $45.99 for the best balls on the market - Titleist Pro V and Pro V1x.

As a beginner I would recommend that you buy the more economically priced balls. The difference in performance will be negligible and you will have a tendency to lose more balls as a novice so why waste money? As you improve, you can always upgrade the type of ball that you use - I would recommend purchasing about two to get started. There are also different compression golf balls made. 80, 90 and 100. The compression selected is directly proportionate to how fast you swing and your . I will not elaborate on this right now but an 80 or 90 compression ball should be more than adequate for now. If you have some power and a fairly quick swing, I would opt for the 90 which may give you a bit more distance. NOTE: The professionals and low use the higher because their and will allow the ball to compress properly, thus attaining the maximum result in distance. Some other equipment I would strongly recommend would be as follows:

A golf towel, golf shoes ( though not absolutely necessary it will assist with stability as you swing), Golf tees ( Note: there are different height golf tees made for different drivers, woods and irons - I would recommend that you pick up an assortment of sizes - 2 1/8" for woods and irons and 2 3/4" or 3 1/4" for Drivers depending on type and size. Check with golf pro or sales person for recommendations if not sure), a golf glove ( not required but it will give you a definite advantage in gripping and holding the club more effectively), ball markers ( used on the green to mark your ball so you will not to block the path of your fellow player - a rule of golf etiquette), and a divot repair tool ( used to repair the indentation made in the green when the golf ball lands - one of the rules of etiquette to be addressed in a future writing ). Although not required to play golf, you may want to consider packing the following ancillary items : Band-aids, sunscreen and insect repellent. You never know when you may need them and it's better to be prepared to allow for maximum comfort while you play. I think we've covered most of the essentials and if you have any questions please feel free to submit them to me. Now you've got the Desire, you've got your equipment, next step is to learn how to play- "The Right Way".

There are a number of different options available to learn how to play golf. You can self teach ( read books and watch instructional videos), ask a relative or friend who knows how to play to teach you, if you are in a high school or college that offers a golf program - enroll in the program, take lessons from the golf pro at your local driving range, take golf lessons from the professional at your local golf course, golf store, private club or pro shop or enroll in a golf school.
