Choosing The Right Golf Equipment
February 22nd, 2010 | 
Author: Buying golf equipment can be like dumping money into a money pit, but armed with some knowledge you can save
time and money in selecting the right clubs for yourself. As with most things in life, you can spend a
lot or you can spend a little several times before you get what you really need.
If you are starting out and not completely sure you want to commit to this addictive game, you should
either rent clubs at the golf course, or buy a starter set of clubs.
Buying a set of started clubs enables you to become accustomed to them; enabling you to concentrate on
your swing instead of wondering how this set of miss-matched clubs you just rented are going to work out. Read the rest of this entry »

Evolution of Golf Balls
When golf was first discovered in Scotland, you would be very surprised at what they were made from. Today, we know the golf ball as a round plastic ball, but it was first made from wood.
In 1618, the balls were a combination of goose feathers and leather. They were assembled and dried out. It would then be painted. The quality of your golf ball was determined by the crafter. They use to be more expensive then your club.
It was considered a real skill to be able to make these. Then there was the invention of the Gutta Percha, or better known as the Guttie. If you have a guttie, you will not want to disregard it because they are worth a lot of money. This was made from the sap of a gutta tree that was found in the tropics. The sap was much like rubber and if you heated it, you could form it into a ball. This made the ball a cheaper thing to produce.
It also makes it easy to repair the ball. You didn’t have to keep buying them, but melt it down and reshape it. These balls have a smooth surface and traveled much further than any other ball. They would also be produced with patterns on the surface that gave the ball even more distance. During Queen Victoria’s rein they were being mass produced, but then the rubber companies came in and killed most of the business for the small crafters.
Then in 1898 Coburn Haskell invented a one-piece rubber cored ball. These balls were filled with rubber and then wrapped in rubber threads. This gave the ball an extra twenty yards and were considered the official balls for the US and British Open.
The golf ball then evolved into what we know a golf ball to be. Haskell’s invention is still what we use to golf with, but they add little dents all around the ball so that you can get a good lift on the ball. Many people, across the world, collect old balls. In fact, antique golf balls are great as gifts. Most people don’t realize that a dirty old ball could be worth more than five hundred dollars. You can buy low and sell high, making a great profit.
However, today you can purchase a bunch of golf balls at once for a small fee. They have become very cheap, but the club has gone up in price. The golf ball can be purchased anywhere and many people will give them as gifts to their golfer of a husband or father. If you want, you can find online and through other means, a way to order the golf balls personalized. This way you can get their initials or even their full name written on the ball. This would be a great gift for father’s day, Christmas, or even birthdays.

Hitting The Golf Ball
What is your first thought when you go to the tee to hit your golf ball? For most amateurs, you want to hit it as hard and as far as possible, right? That is just a myth. You want to hit the ball enough to make it go far, but you don’t want to waste your energy either. You should be thinking about your stance and the club.
Your drive is only as good as your club. You will want to make sure that you have purchased a golf club that is of a fair quality. You want to check the flexibility of the shaft to make sure that you can control the golf ball as much as possible. You will also want to think about the steps of a golf swing. When you go to swing, many people forget to follow through and that naturally affects your drive.
Ensure that your stance is correct and that you go through all the steps, including the follow though so that you are able to drive the ball on straight and true. Trust your club. If you are using a driver, it will send the ball further than you can imagine, but have faith.
Here is one last tip when it comes to driving the ball. You don’t want to let yourself focus on hitting the ball with force. It is important, but as long as you have a good stance and your club is worthy enough for you, you will do fine. There are so many other factors than how hard your hit the ball that will determine the distance that the ball will go.
Golfing is hard! You won’t be a pro within a couple weeks. Golfing is something that you have to work hard with. You have to practice to get better and you have to follow some tips from various sources for you to improve.
You will want to ask some of your friends what they think, as well as research the game. You may want to go online to find tips to help you with your stance or your swing and you will want to purchase or rent some movies that will help you improve your game. There are also a lot of self-help books that are devoted to the game and will help you improve all of the things that you need to work on as a beginner. As long as you got a good swing, you can work on everything else. You first have to master the swing.
