Disc Golf Sure is Fun

2009-05-13T12:59:00.000-07:00

If you do not like to golf, then I promise that you will love disc golf. This is set up much like golfing, but only you use your hands and Frisbees. So, you start out at one point of the course and aim for the hole at the other end. You toss it as far as you can and that counts as a shot. Then, you keep on shooting until you get closer to the hole. The hole is actually a rack that is set up. You have to be able to land your Frisbee in this rack. It is a lot of fun.

Nike Golf is Top of the Line

2009-05-11T13:00:00.000-07:00

People do not really think of Nike as being into golf, but in fact Nike golf has invested a lot of time and money into research for golfers. They make their own balls, clubs, and shoes that are all tailored to the professional golf player. They have an endorsement with Tiger Woods that gets exposure all over the world. Who says that Nike is not dedicated to golf? You can see the Nike sign worn by a lot of pro golfers these days. I would want to be sponsored by Nike if I was a pro golfer. That would be nice.

The Need for Golf Bags

2009-05-07T12:54:00.000-07:00

People do not make a big deal out of golf bags, but I think you need to if you really are a golf fan. These so called golf bags are the things that are holding all of your clubs in place. It is keeping everything in one location and safe together. On top of that, the good bags can help protect your clubs from unnecessary wear. That means you can use your favorite golf clubs for a longer period of time. Now tell me, who would not want that? Anyways, go out and invest in a good bag. Keep it with you.

The Best Golf Courses

2009-05-05T12:54:00.000-07:00

People are always trying to compare golf courses and figure out which ones are the best. Well, I am here to tell you that it is all up to personal preference. It all depends on what kind of field you like to play in and also what kind of golfer are you. Are you someone who likes to drive the ball far? Or are you someone who likes to take skilled shots? Well, if you do come to Arizona, you should check out the courses here. They are not too hard and everyone enjoys the great weather that can be found here.

Used Golf Carts can be Found

2009-04-30T17:03:00.000-07:00

If you are looking into getting a golf cart to use on the course or just about anywhere else, then you should be looking at used golf carts. These things are usually a fraction of the price of a brand new one. And who does not want to save money these days? These carts are usually in great condition anyways, so it is like buying a new one. All you have to do now is just go on Craigs list and take a look around. Find one that you like and contact the person. Then go ahead and check it out. If you like it, buy it.

Find the Right Golf Ball for You

2009-04-28T17:04:00.000-07:00

People are saying now that the golf ball is what makes the difference in your game, not the swing. I beg to differ, but I also agree that the ball has some stuff to do with it. You do need the top of the line ball that will get you an extra 10 yards. But, when it comes down to it, it is all about the player. It is like saying that the basketball is what makes an NBA Superstar great. This is a lie because everyone plays with the same ball and some people are better than others. That is just the way it is.

Golf Shoes Make the Game

2009-04-23T22:26:00.000-07:00

It is absolutely essential that you find the right golf shoes for you. You need to have the right ones that make you comfortable enough that you do not even think about them when you are golfing. This is because those shoes are going to make or break your game. Your swing all comes down to how your feet are and if the shoes do not help this, then get new ones. The best shoes are the ones that fit around your feet, do not look at brands. Now that you know all of this, go out and get some good golf shoes.

The Golf Channel is Boring

2009-04-21T22:21:00.000-07:00

If you do not think that the Golf Channel is the most boring thing in the world, then you must be an old geezer. The only people that like golf are old people, so that means you are one of them. This cable channel only talks about golf and it is absolutely the most boring thing in the world. They repeat the same things over and over again. I would much rather watch a news show, at least the reporters on that are interesting. The Golf Channel sometimes has good tournaments on, but that is every once in a while. Do not watch this channel.

The Right Gold Clubs

2009-04-18T13:14:00.000-07:00

Choosing the right golf clubs are the totally essential to your game. If you have clubs that are too short or too long, then you will not be able to hit the ball properly. You have to find the clubs that you find most comfortable. They need to have a certain grip in your hands. They need to have a lot of other things too. Look into the material of the head of the club. Do you want a titanium one, or something else? See, there are lots of options for clubs, but most important is the cost. You need to find your price range.

How to Improve Golf Swing

2009-04-14T16:52:00.000-07:00

Everyone wants to improve golf swing, but many people are not willing to put in the time for that. You need to commit to something like this with all your heart, mind, and soul. It takes a lot of practice just to get good enough to hit the ball. It takes a lot of body control and you need someone there who knows what they are doing. This would mean that you need to hire a coach or else, watch a lot of videos. Other than that, set aside time for practice each and every day. This way, you will see your swing get better.

The Best Golf Courses in Arizona

2009-04-10T02:04:00.000-07:00

Arizona is seen as a hot desert with nothing to do, but what many people do not know is that there are many golf courses in the state that rank among the best in the nation. The reason behind this is that there are great resorts attached to these courses and they offer 5-star service to the players. Many people also enjoy the great weather that is here on a year-round basis. Instead of having to wait for a golf season, you can just go to Arizona and golf whenever you feel like it. The rates are also some of the best in the world.

To Buy or Rent a Golf Cart

2009-04-07T02:04:00.000-07:00

Some friends of mine have been considering buying a golf cart. My advice to them has been to withhold on that because the economy is so bad and not everyone has the money. But, they say that they have lots of money to spend on it. Then, I changed my argument to a matter of convenience. If you go golfing a lot, then the club knows you pretty well and will usually provide a free cart for you. So, why do you need your own? It would be such a hassle to take it from your house to the course every single time.

The Build-up of Women’s Golfing Publications

2009-04-05T21:39:00.000-07:00

Female golfers use to be rare. The LPGA wasn't accepted as much as the male PGA group. Attendance to LPGA events was a joke in comparison to PGA events. However the popularity of several big female golfers has changed the face of female golf. Now the LPGA is accepted more than the WNBA within mainstream America and it has the possibility to grow if pushed further into the public eye. The easiest way to increase its popularity is to increase the quantity of women's golfing publications. If an increased amount of news and information is supplied on the sector it will be able to support a growth.

Playing Cheap and Free Online Golfing Game

2009-03-29T23:55:00.000-07:00

Recently I played a cheap and free online golfing game. It wasn't hard to find with any of the search engines and it wasn't even worth the effort. The problem is that a game as complex as golf you would really have to add 3-d effects to the environment to make it a really nice game. I guess wishing for a golden tee knock-off is too much to ask for when looking for something free. Why don't they just add sponsorship to a tee and pay for the work the same way real greens do?

The Popular Corporate Golfing Break Market

2009-03-22T20:28:00.001-07:00

When I see business men at the golf course or on the greens I try to figure out what type of industry they work in that allows them the leisure to go golfing in the middle of the day. Taking a corporate golfing break is popular for the high management of banking, law, and even medicine. However you don't see too many honchos on the green in the middle of the day for industries that are blue collar; printing, manufacturing, and food prep are just a few. Most people think it is just a difference of tastes but I politely disagree. I believe it is more an attitude difference.

Making money on Golfing Villa Vacations

2009-03-15T10:30:00.001-07:00

Owning vacation property and similar rentals in tourist locations is a big business that can earn large rewards. Choosing the right property in key locations can allow you to label the property differently to attract different interested parties. To attract tourists on golfing villa vacations you would want to begin calling your condo or property a golf villa. Then when you advertise with vacation companies and land management companies you will begin to attract regular golfers interested in staying near the local golf courses. I’ve met some property owners that are afraid to label their property a villa. The truth is that if the renter is fine with the price they won’t mind it being a little bigger or smaller.

Developing a Golfing Friendship

2009-03-08T22:51:00.000-07:00

Sports can develop some of the best relationships we experience in life. Establishing a golfing friendship normally begins outside and away from the greens. However there is no rule against exploring new friendships with the groups of people you already see play at your golf club. Not every club explores the idea of group activities but it is a great way for clubs to increase bookings and for players to meet other players. A popular way some clubs accomplish this community cohesion is through the use of a best-ball tournament. After random assignment of players to teams the tournament can still be organized while everyone meets someone new.

The Lack of Golfing Magazines

2009-03-01T20:37:00.000-08:00

Have you been to the news rack recently and noticed the lack of golfing magazines? I recently went to a franchised drug store and found myself in the magazine section checking out the magazines on the rack. I was curious what was popular and noticed an overall small selection of golf related publications. I'm not sure if it is due to the economy or just a lack of readers that golf; strange since I live next to three golf resorts within a 5 mile radius. If you are interested in getting a golf subscription online try Golf Digest or Golf World.

The Death of I Would Rather be Golfing Bumper Stickers

2009-02-22T12:21:00.000-08:00

You can always tell an activist by how many bumper stickers the have on their car. Multiple advertisements in a concentrated area only causes its audience to neglect all of them. I want to get a bumper sticker that says by reading this you agree to admit you were distracted and not paying attention to my brake lights. That way there will be no confusion in traffic court. One of the most overplayed bumper stickers of all time was the I'd rather be golfing bumper stickers. Everyone I knew had one. So many people at the golf course had them you think the club was a street gang.

The Worst People Golfing

2009-02-13T21:32:00.000-08:00

If you are a beginner and think you shouldn't be allowed on the golf course, don't listen to yourself. Some of the best players were once the worst. We've all heard of the saying 'we all have to start somewhere'. However I do understand that some of us never learn past the first lesson and never get better. It is still alright to be the worst golfer on the course. Being the worst allows you certain privileges such as laughing at yourself. The game is meant to be a way to let stress go. People golfing for the wrong reasons can sometimes change that perspective.

Taking Your Animals Golfing with You

2009-02-05T18:16:00.000-08:00

If you are an animal lover that takes your pet with you everywhere you go then consider golfing with them. Some extreme pet lovers enjoy taking their animals golfing. Of course there are always problems with loose pets on a course. So consider keeping them in or on the cart rather than letting them roam near by your ball play. It is probably a good thing to keep them away from the golf ball anyways. Can you imagine a dog thinking you are playing fetch with them? It could get really serious if they attempt to get the ball while you drive it.

Playing 27 Hole Golfing

2009-02-01T08:08:00.000-08:00

If you've never visited a 27 hole golf course you may wonder what it is. 27 hole golfing is basically what it implies; a 27 hole game instead of 18. With a longer game players can really enjoy the stretches and not worry about the mulligan they had to take back on hole 4. A player can be behind during one stretch and then really pull back to become the leader late in the game. It can turn into an all day event so make sure you're prepared if you decide to play. You can really play on any golf course. Simply tell the cashier you want one round of 18 holes and another of 9 holes. When you finish the full 18 come back and tee-up at another spot on hole 1 for your last 9 holes.

The Best Golfing Game

2009-01-24T10:03:00.000-08:00

If you are an avid golfer then you probably know a game to play while on the greens; other than golf. Some people like to bet in regards to simple holes or overall strokes. Others like to play a more complicated game. Some of them include taking clubs away or adding strokes. Speed golf was one game that had a huge intro but isn't seen much anymore. The idea was based on running from hole to hole to finish a round fast and get lots of exercise. Personally I thought it took the best part of the game away: electric carts. Whatever golfing game you play, we can all agree that the game of golf wouldn't be the same without the additions.

Golfing Apparel on Sale Everywhere

2009-01-16T22:50:00.000-08:00

The biggest thing I love about recessions is the endless sale prices. Retail stores have had sales for the past couple of months. They went into their holiday sale, then their New Year sale, and if they aren't into their clearance sale then they are just having a general sale for the sake of it. I've seen plenty of big department stores like JC Penny, Dillard's, and Macy's try to sell their golfing apparel with every sale available. It could be that the colder season is just an off-peak time to have that kind of apparel but never the less it is a great time to get new golfing clothes.

Discussing Golfing Accidents

2009-01-10T09:25:00.000-08:00

Although accidents that happen during golf are usually minor and nonfatal players should still be aware. Some of the most common accidents are caused by improper use of equipment. I myself have been involved in golf cart fender benders. Fortunately most of a golf cart's outer shell is durable plastic. Golfing accidents that involve impalement of golf balls are more serious. Most homeowners living next to a course have to carry insurance for golf ball damage. This insurance doesn't cover bodily injury to the homeowners or guests for the most part. It really makes me wonder how many golfers have ever taken responsibility of damage they may have caused due to their terrible slice.
