The handicap basically allows people of very different golfing ability to compete with each other. Other sports do have a handicap system, but nowhere does it work as effectively as in the game of golf. Lets take an example of a 9 handicap player meeting a 16 handicapper in a Matchplay singles match. They would take the difference between their handicaps 7 and apply the (a three quarter) of difference principle if their club uses this rather than the full difference (equals 5.25) rounded to the nearest full number (Equals 5). The 16 handicap player would get an extra stroke over his opponent at the first 5 stroke index numbered holes on the course. Handicaps are administered by the Golf Clubs...

When learning how to play a sport, one of the essential components is learning what equipment you need in order to play. Golf is no different, and choosing the right clubs for you may be an overwhelming task. The first thing to understand is that purchasing a standard set of golf clubs is not the first things to do. In fact, for someone serious about learning how to play, it is highly recommended that you hold off on purchasing golf clubs until you have tried a few sets out. The reason that you won't want to purchase a "standard" set of clubs is that they are designed for a person of average build. Of course, since everyone is built slightly differently, even though you may feel that you are of an...

One of the best ways to get better at your golfing skills, is to hire the training of a pro-golf trainer. If you're anything like me, you're a "do it on my own" king of person. But this is in many cases the wrong approach. A pro golfer can give you specific instruction and exercises that will help you improve a lot faster that you will on your own. It will also be a lot less painful. So getting a golf pro to rain and instruct you on your golf swing is a great idea. Now, how do you go about finding just the right golf instructor? There are a number of ways to do that. You can go to golf shops and look at ads or ask the shop keeper and other people who come to the shop. Another way is to go the...

3-Feet from the Hole The most important aspect of putting is to decide on your line before the stroke. The only thing to be thinking DURING the stroke is how hard you need to hit the ball. Control how far the ball rolls by controlling the distance you bring the putter back during the backswing. The length of the forward swing past the ball should ALWAYS match the length of the backswing. When determining the "line" for the putt, pay particular attention to the lay of the green within a three foot radius around the cup, as your golf ball will be rolling fairly slowly, and therefore will break more sharply within that area near the cup. You need to determine where you want the golf ball to be when it...

By early 1971 the situation in Vietnam became so unstable that I was more afraid of being robbed and killed by one of our Vietnamese Allies than I was the communists. I returned to Vietnam after being discharged from the U.S. Army. I took a job with the Federal Electric Corporation (FEC). This company had a contract with the U.S. Army to assume responsibility for the military telephone system in Vietnam and later Thailand. Basically I returned to Vietnam for fun and adventure; not the money. This company was one cheap Charlie outfit. Anyway I am back in Qui Nhon in early 1971 and I could really sense that something was different in this coastal city.American was withdrawing from Vietnam. The more U...

The other day I golfed on a course with a spectacular 18th hole. A narrow fairway, cut into a river bank, with a steep down slope on the river side of the fairway, and the dense brush of the natural riverbank on the up slope side provided a very challenging par 4. I was playing the white tees and on this hole, the white tee box is on a small plateau, at least 75 yards or so from the blue tee.Play was slow, so while waiting to drive, I took a quick look in the brush beside the tee box. Just as I suspected, there were quite a few balls in there, and I pulled out about a dozen good ones in a few minutes. Spots like this often have some lost balls because the guys (probably guys) who duff their shots...

If you watch the Golf Channel or read any of the magazines and books on golf, it will be very hard for you to miss the basic theme that "There is a perfect swing and you will do the most for your game by trying to get it". Even when you watch a tournament on TV, you see the commentators participate in this conspiracy by showing us frame-by-frame analysis of the pro and critiquing his/her every move. Now, maybe we can give the TV guys a break because they are just trying for some entertainment value and let's face it, most of us are interested in the details of the swing because we've been brainwashed by years of this theme.For many years, I too was a "swing zombie" in my quest to improve my golf...

Last week we started to get into the motivation of the gamer. We discussed challenge and its ugly stepsister competition, two of the most common motivators. Today, we look at two more on the way to forming an overall model for what moves us.Perhaps less common than the first two motivators, creativity is nonetheless an important driving force in the gamer psyche. Though at first gaming doesn't seem like a particularly creative act, what with its formalized rules and structured systems, there is much more room for self expression than one might think. Some games play to this directly through unique presentations or artistic themes. Music games and many of the Sim titles are basically just expressive...

Golf is played by hitting a ball using a club on an area called "teeing ground." Once the ball is hit, it usually travels fairways across and onto a next prepared area. A hole could be found in this area that is called a "putting green." The objective of the game of golf is that one should be able to complete a hole by means of hitting a ball from a teeing ground and place it inside the hole of the putting green in as little strokes as possible. What is commonly referred to as a round of golf usually consists of 18 holes to be played in. In golf, there are basically two kinds of play to choose from. The winner in one kind of play is determined by the holes that are lost and won, this is referred to...

The stories of people achieving unusual success despite all manner of handicaps never fail to capture our attention. They're inspirational to be sure. But they're much more than that if we study them closely. The boy whose legs were terribly burned and who was told he'd be lucky to ever walk again becomes a champion track star. The woman blind and deaf from infancy becomes one of the most inspirational figures of the century. And the poor children who rise to fame and fortune have nearly become commonplace.In this age of unprecedented immigration, we see examples of people who start off in this world with virtually nothing and within a surprisingly short time have become wonderfully successful.What...

The most fun part of starting any new activity is often getting the gear, and the same is true for golf. There's a certain pleasure derived from going to the hardware store and picking out your first golfing glove, buying your first box of balls and of course, your first set of clubs. But these days, the choices are overwhelming, especially for someone that's new to the sport.

If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD or ADD, you may have explored the option of treating him or her with a prescription stimulant drug like Adderall. Stimulants are commonly prescribed by doctors for children with ADHD because they have been found to be predominantly safe and effective in treating the symptoms of the condition. They do, however, carry a risk of side effects which can vary in intensity with each person.Stimulants increase brain activity, which in turn can increase a child's ability to pay attention, and Adderall is a popular child ADHD treatment -- about 1 million U.S. children currently take it or its time-released sibling, Adderall XR. Many Adderall users report minor side...

Putting in golf is an art. Just like the golf swing itself, there is artistry to it when it is done well. The golf swing is violently gentle, but a good putting stroke is simply gentle. If you can find this gentleness in your putting stroke you’ll likely find consistency as well. Here are a few images that will help you find a gentle putting stroke. They may seem a little bizarre, but give them a try: 1) Image the shaft of the putter is limber piece of hose. If you have this image in your head the only way you can find a true putting stroke is putt slowly and softly. 2) Or, imagine your putting shaft is made of fine glass. Imagine if you stroke your golf ball to harshly your shaft will shatter...

There are many different types of golf swing faults and golf training aids can go a long way in helping any golfer deal with their specific problem area. The golf swing is the essence of the golf game and therefore it would not be a bad idea to get even two golf training aids that are specific to your swing fault.

This is a very golf-specific golf training aid as you go through the exact same motions you do with an ordinary club but with more weight. This greatly helps in strengthening and conditioning all the relevant muscles. The inside approach is another great golf training aid to help improve any golf swing...

After listening to my friends go on and on about their experiences playing golf, I finally decided to take up golf again. Except for sporadic forays with rented clubs, I had not played golf since I caddied with my dad in the forties. He did teach me the correct grip and took me out a few times as a bona fide golfer, but good I was not. In college, I was chosen to teach the grip to the novice golfing students, but I never got to play myself.Not owning a set of clubs, I haunted the area garage sales for a usable set. At the third garage sale a very nice set of clubs with a fairly new bag leaned against the side of the garage. Another buyer spotted the clubs at the same time, but I unashamedly raced to...

Copyright 2006 David Nevogt I'm going to give you some great golf backswing advice that's going to help you a lot. There are two mistakes that you can make in the backswing. And then I'm going to tell you the correct way to do it. The first mistake is, if your shoulder doesn't move and doesn't turn backwards, then your arms will run into it and the shoulder will tilt up in the air. And if you do that, the golf swing will look too vertical, and you'll hit the ground and you'll hit a lot of shots off to the right. On the other hand, some of you think so much of turning that you turn your right shoulder and your hips together, and the golf club gets way around inside. So, for those of you that do this...

Sometimes, your spouse can drive you up the wall. In fact, if your husband is like mine, you're parked up by the molding at least twice a day. In brutal moments of pscyhotic insanity, you might even try to find ways to convince him to tie blocks to his feet and jump in the river. DON'T DO IT! No matter how good an idea it might seem when you are collapsing in hysterical, stressed out fits, murdering your husband is never a good idea. In fact, here are ten reasons it is such a rotten plan.10. The insurance company won't pay up if you kill him, so you'll wind up having to work two jobs to pay the rent.9. If you think he never helps with the housework now, wait until he's buried. The odds are good he...
