Choose the Right Golf Club Irons for You

Posted on by

Golf is a fantastic sport, you get to be outdoors in the fresh air, you get some exercise and it’s just you and your clubs. Now the next question is, what golf club irons are you going to use? I’ll be giving you some tips on how to decide what golf club irons to choose.

You have numerous choices and selections when it comes to picking the right golf club irons for you. A good way to start your journey with this is to consult a PGA pro to help you out. If you can’t access one of those get a friend that is a golf enthusiast and knows his golf club irons really well. A pro though will know just what you need based on your game type, swing, along with your height and weight.

You are able to purchase your golf club irons either one at a time or all at once. If you’re low on funds one at a time may be good for you. You also get a feel for each club that you want. When you buy them in a set you may not like how a couple of the golf club irons feel. I myself would go the one at a time approach, find and research each of your clubs from the putter to the driver carefully. Your going to have these golf club irons for years, so just like buying a car do your research and take your time.

If you’re just starting out with the game of golf. It might be good to go to a driving range to get a feel for your swing, stance etc before you actually hit the course. I myself love going to the driving range. The more your practice with your golf club irons the more familiar you will be with the feel and swing of them.

You may also want to take some lessons if your new before selecting your golf club irons. Your trainer can give you some tips also based on your swing and what kind of golf club irons would be best for you.

Golf is a sport that takes a lot of time and patience. Once you get into the groove you’ll be back to the course with your brand new golf club irons every weekend!

You want your clubs to feel comfortable and natural to you, this will only help you with your game. So select carefully when buying your new golf club irons and remember to yell four when your on the course!

Mauricio Jimenez likes his $5.25-an-hour job picking up golf balls at a city driving range, but he’d like it a whole lot more with a 60 percent salary boost.

“I need more money. What I make now doesn’t stretch far enough,” said Jimenez, 37, of Pacoima, who holds down a second job so he can support his wife and two teen-age children.

Jimenez’s boss at Encino-Balboa Golf Course, Jeff Silverstein, said he’d like to pay his workers more, but can’t afford it – not with his 30 percent rent increase and the $500,000 he plans to sink into improvements.

Hello From Orlando: Timacuan Golf And Country Club

Posted on by

On our last full day in Florida we had a chance to play another beautiful golf course, this one located about half an hour north of downtown Orlando in the community of Lake Mary. Timacuan Golf and Country Club was built in 1987 and was originally designed by a Ron Garl. In 1996 the course was renovated by architect Bobby Weed and today it is ranked in the top 14 in the state of Florida. Timacuan’s other accolades include having been chosen as one of the most golf-friendly courses for women by Golf for Women Magazine.

Bobby Weed’s redesign encompassed many elements of the course and ensured that all players will have an enjoyable round of golf. Timacuan also features a large driving range and putting green. Par is 71 and the course plays close to 7,000 yards from the back tees. Timacuan’s unique features include a links-style front nine and a Carolina feel complete with gorgeous pines and lakes on the back nine.

Timacuan Golf and Country Club also has a lighted practice facility and is home to the Mike Bender Golf Academy. Mike Bender is a two time North Florida PGA Teacher of the Year, and is ranked by Golf Magazine as one of the Top 100 Instructors and Golf Digest as one of the top 50 Instructors in America. While we were there, a young golf aficionado was receiving a very thorough one-on-one video-taped lesson and we admired her elegant drives into the driving range.

We drove in on a winding road through a residential area and were greeted by Timacuan’s spacious two-story club house. I had a chance to talk with Kim Shield who handles marketing for Timacuan, who explained that the club house features a full service grill room downstairs, and can host up to 250 people in the upstairs dining room which has panorama windows that offer a beautiful view of the golf course, making it a popular destination for corporate and private functions. The club house also hosts a Sunday brunch from 11 am to 2 pm as well as a Wednesday night buffet.

Kim filled me in on some other unique details on this course. Considering its location in Seminole County north of Orlando, it mostly serves local residents. The area around the course offers a lot of things do to, including a variety of waterfront restaurants, the Sanford Zoo, the Sanford Historical Museum, and Colonial Town Park, a local development that features restaurants, theatres, hotels, cinemas, shopping, all in all a nice area to walk around in.

We thoroughly enjoyed our round, despite the grey, drizzly weather as Timacuan features a very scenic layout. The course had a wonderfully friendly feel to it, and we enjoyed our chats with course staff while waiting for our cart and were warmly welcomed by the starter. Upon hearing that we were from Canada, one of the local members generously gave us his chip for practice balls and this friendly ambience got us off to a good start.

Hole number 2 is one of the most difficult holes on the course, and I promptly made two separate ball donations into the pond. The front nine is surrounded by an attractive residential development that never intruded into our golf game and a couple of holes actually feature drive-through bunkers. The Carolina-style back nine had its own set of challenges, particularly since water comes into play on seven holes.

Timacuan’s rates are quite reasonable: for June to October 2005 the rates ranged between $55 and $65, from November 1 to January 11, 2006 the rates vary from $69 to $79, and in high season from January 12 to April 23, 2006 the rates range between $85 and $95.

Driving directions:

Lake Mary is located about 10 miles northeast of Orlando and is easily accessible via the interstate system. Off of the I-4 take exit 101a to Rhinehart Rd (go right). First light Timacuan Blvd (go left). Go one mile to the Timacuan entrance on right. Follow Timacuan Blvd to the clubhouse.

How To Practice Golf Effectively

Posted on by

Even with lessons, instructional videos and store-purchased aids, your golf game will continue the way it has been without consistent and efficient practice. Consistent because practice sessions involve exercises that are meant to develop muscle memory. Efficient because pacing your energy to the kinds of exercises you’ll do is important as well.

Simple as this point may sound, it is one that is easily overlooked. Many golfers think that for as long as they spend enough time on the practice range, their score will improve. Unfortunately, that is not necessarily so. To get a better game, it is important that your practice sessions be as regimented as the way you play the game itself, if not more.

Before you groan about how boring practices are, it might help to think that practices are what build good playing habits when you hit the greens. And if you approach your practice sessions as more than chores and see them as yet another fun aspect to your game of golf, the results can only be a game all the more fun than it already is.

First of all, think of your practice session in three parts consisting of:

- the warm-up,

- the fresh stage

- and the fatigued stage.

In these three stages, you will carry out different sets of exercises that when done in the right stages will make your practices more effective giving you results you can see on the greens as you play.

- Warm-up:

Many are deceived into thinking that golf requires no strenuous physical activity as it only involves swinging and walking. Nothing could be further from the truth. The very nature of swinging causes your muscle groups to work in ways not common to everyday routine.

Your upper torsos, arms, as well as your lower back muscles are the groups most worked when playing golf which only shows that it is important to warm up with some stretches. Start from the top of your head and work your way down to your feet. Flexibility and getting your muscles’ full range of motion is your goal. If you are unfamiliar with stretches, you may consult a trainer or the instructor in your club for some tips.

- Fresh Stage

After your warm-up, start working on exercises that build on a skill you haven’t mastered yet, or on parts of your game that’s been causing you higher strokes. This could be anything from putting, chipping or driving.

The idea is that when you work on these problem areas while you’re still fresh and limber from a stretch routine, your body responds more positively to the exercises you’re subjecting it to.

The thing about most people’s idea of golf practice is simply spending time on the driving range without even considering whether or not driving is their waterloo. But if you’re aware that your short game is what’s giving you problems, then you’d do best to hit the greens to work on your putts as soon as you finish warming up. (As an aside, it has been observed that more than 60% of a player’s strokes take place on the green. Unfortunately, this fact is overlooked by many players thus resulting in poor practice habits.)

- Fatigued stage

Once you start feeling winded from the earlier exercises, move on to work on facets of your game that simply need reinforcement. Since your body already knows this motion, this stage in your practice serves as maintenance to your form.

If any correction is necessary, your stressed out body isn’t as pressured to master a difficult form. As in the previous example, only after working on your problematic short game can you then go to the driving range to give positive reinforcement to your drives.

Finally, here are some more observations and suggestions in carrying out your practice.

- To be able to see continuous improvement, a good practice-to-play ratio is about 2:1, which means giving twice as much time to practice as to what you would spend in playing.

- However, give yourself sufficient time to rest in between exercises and in between stages. While it is a work out, you should not be winded down by the activity. Doing so may actually do more harm than help.

Your game should see improvements as you give your sessions a more defined structure. Be consistent and note the results of your exercises to step up that game one stroke at a time.

Teaching Children the Game of Golf

Posted on by

So, you think your little guy might be the next Tiger Woods? If you think your child has a propensity for golf, or if you have a love for the game that you want to share, how can you best teach your youngster the game? How can you tell that they are ready to learn? What age is best to start a child on learning golf if you want to develop a quality player?

Golf, a detailed and complex sport, can be tough to teach to kids. For this reason, get them started early and ensure that you build a firm foundation in their gameplay so that they learn to be confident in the sport and in their own abilities. This type of learned confidence can help them embrace the complexities of the game as a whole and will turn them into golfers that are ready to learn.

Once a child is walking well independently and able to hold a child-sized golf club, he or she is probably ready for the first introduction to the sport. This can happen when the child is as young as two or three years old. Preschool children will not be ready to play golf as a game, but they can be given small putters and practice swinging the club correctly.

Children at this age learn almost everything through imitation. The best way to teach them proper swinging and putting techniques is to demonstrate, and then have them imitate the motions. But use caution that you do not make this tedious for the child. These imitation sessions should be short and fun. Try having the child hit a small balloon. Not only will this be fun, but the child will also have success in hitting the balloon, which will keep the frustration at bay. To make it even more fun, try filling the balloons with water for added resistance! This is a great summer time activity for you and for your child!

Once the child has entered school and has a good handle on the swinging and putting techniques learned through observation, it is time to start teaching the game of golf. School aged children are accustomed to verbal instruction and can listen to explanations about the game better than their preschool counterparts. You need to keep in mind, however, that they are still children! They will thrive on encouragement, and all teaching sessions should be kept upbeat!

Start by taking your child to the driving range. Show your son or daughter how to hit the ball correctly, aiming for distance. The driving range is a good place to start since there is not a specific target they must reach, so the child is less likely to get frustrated. After the child demonstrates aptitude on the driving range, you can head to the course. By this point you should be able to tell whether or not your child is going to share your love for the game of golf.

Parents need to remember that no matter how hard they try, not all children have the same likes and dislikes that their parents have. If you have introduced your child to the game of golf, and he or she does not enjoy it, try not to push them. By pushing, you might find that you drive your child away from the game. All you can do is give them the experience at an early age, and they must come to a conclusion about the game on their own.

Tips For Playing Better Golf

Posted on by

If you are going to be somewhat serious about golf, the first thing you need to do is get fitted for clubs. Golfsmith is a good place to start although any custom clubmaker will also do this. You can always just buy a set somewhere – however these are made with generic measurements, which will come pretty close and you can have them modified for you or you can adapt.

Now if you are really serious you will go and hit some clubs where they will analyze your swing and build a set for you. Again Golfsmith would be a good choice. There are many options available in clubs. You have graphite shafts, steel shafts, forged irons, cast irons, and many styles of grips. Graphite shafts generally will hit the ball farther but accuracy suffers when compared to steel shafts. Also mishits don’t sting as bad with graphite shafts. Forged irons are not as forgiving as cast irons. Grips are grips so it’s pretty much the feel you like.

As far as golf balls go, whoa, there are many choices out there. You have two piece, three piece, and even four piece balls. There are specific balls for distance, balls for feel, and a combination of both. And of course there is a great difference in prices and brands. Generally you should buy a ball that has great feel as opposed to a distance ball. You will really notice it when you chip and putt and there is not much difference in distance. If you are an average golfer just buy medium priced balls ($20-@30). I use Titleist NXT Tour.

If you can go to the driving range once a week you will see a great improvement in your game. Another good tip is practice swinging a broom at home, this will help with tempo. Most driving ranges don’t have areas to practice sand shots,chipping and putting. You would be better off going to a golf course near you that has practice areas and driving range.

I like to start practicing with a short club with half swings to get everything moving right. Usually with an 8 or 9 iron then work your way down the set. Like Jack Nicklaus says “You have 14 clubs but only one swing”. When you go to the range take a short iron (9-SW), a medium iron (6-8), and a long iron (3-5), and one wood. Every time you go alternate your clubs – this is easier than carrying everything and more productive.

When you get reasonably consistent try to learn different shots. Move the ball in your stance, try to hit draws and slices, and most importantly hit from different lies.

When you practice chipping use different clubs around the green. It’s best to get the ball rolling as soon as possible to eliminate bad bounces on higher shots. Try hitting from different lies. Pay attention to what you are doing because this is where you will cut strokes off your game. Use your own golf balls not driving range balls.

If you want to have the best time out there play from the right tees, play as fast as you can. Don’t play from the back tees if you stink. This will only slow up play and you will get frustrated fast. Play to your ability, forget the last shot, have a good time. It’s only a game.

The average golfer hits his drive, finds his ball, hits the next shot until he holes out. It will improve your game if you pick targets to aim at. When you go to a course look at the scorecard and try to figure out how to play each hole. You know how far you average drive will go so where do I want to hit it, pick a target. Same thing on your approach shot. If you are like me the ball will not be anywhere near the target so I have to figure out where the trouble is and make allowances. If you hit into trouble take your medicine, don’t try a TV shot and get in more trouble. Remember you are trying to shoot the lowest score you can.

Play by the rules, be courteous on the greens, and play fast.

Mini Golf in Western New York

Posted on by

Are you looking for somewhere fun to go this summer, in Western New York, you need to get out when you can!

The best 2 places for mini golf in Western New York are Fun & Games on Southwestern Blvd, Orchard Park and JNC on Transit Road, Elma.

If you just want to play mini golf, Fun & Games is in the place to be. They have 2 courses to play, which you can get a deal if you play both. One is supposed to be harder than the other but I don’t see the difference. They also have batting cages which I’m not into but they are pretty big. They do have a very small arcade but nothing to write home about. It is surrounded by beautiful trees, so on a hot Buffalo day, you can still enjoy yourself in the shade of the trees and when you are done having fun, Zebb’s is right next store to get something to eat! There are a few holes that a really fun, with water challenges and trees right in the middle of the long fairway. Plenty of Parking!

JNC is in the southtowns, they have a decent size mini golf course, but they also have a big arcade on the grounds with Go Carts in the back. You could really spend hours here. The arcade machines have a broad range of excitement, 2 full rooms give you something to do! I believe, you can even have your birthday party here! The HUGE racetrack in the back is something to see. The golf course is a basic mini golf course, nicely laid out though. Hills, water and much more make the different holes exciting. There is no shade here, so watch out for the sun! Plenty of Parking!

This is my opinion of the two best places for miniture golf in the area!

But, if you live in Lackawanna, there is a hidden miniature golf course called Hid-a-way. I came across it this past weekend. It’s at the driving range on Cloverleaf Drive. They also have par 3 regular golf course. This course is really nothing, but it’s simple, fun & basic. If you want to go to the driving range, your kids have something to entertain themselves with while you are busy.

I love spending time outside in Buffalo when the weather finally breaks; this is just a list to help you out. I hope it helps.

The Difference Between Golf Course and Driving Range

Posted on by

Many people in the driving range play very well, but it is the different story after game. Why? In fact, this is reasonable, no one can say well you can play at the driving range to lie on the floor, but it is not good news that hit at the driving range can not lay the floor. We must clearly recognize that the main driving range and course of the play environment is not the same.

Steps / Methods

Where to play well in the driving range, the most important reason is that there is a basket and basket ball for practice. If the first few balls did not play well, we can think of ways to change batting approach to get the desired effect. Our brains are a micro-computer, and within three goals, we can learn how to adjust the play. The driving range, we have enough play to get the ball to adjust the desired effect, stable after hit a few balls, we forget how broke in the front. But not the same on the pitch, every hit we have only one chance, there is no “replay” one said, even into the deep grass.

The driving range, we can use again and again hit the ball with a club, until you can hit the ball well. On the pitch, the distance at particular and specific cases must use a different club, so every hit is different. In addition, the court, the time lag between the two long shots, while the driving range, hit a ball you can not hesitate to use the same after a club and then hit a ball, the reaction can be quickly communicated to the brain , think of the adjustment method. Thus, after several repetitions, you can always hit the ball well.

The driving range balls we can determine their own position. You could use different ball ladder height rack up the ball to hit the ball better with callaway diablo edge irons, even playing directly on the straw; the straw is still only mediocre. On the pitch, we will encounter a variety of ball position, hit marks, the deep grass, sand edges, light puddle, uphill, downhill and so on. Different ball position, they should have different stations, which is different from playing on the pitch flat mat. Bit different ball, different stations, it is even more complicated natural shot.

When people are usually hitting full swing, but the court is not so. According to different distances, different ball position, or change our club, or a different rate of swing (such as half-swing), while the full swing is not the most useful one. In the case of full swing, even if some mistakes at the beginning, the process can still be adjusted in the swing, and “short” swing is not the case, leading to unsatisfactory results.

Finally is the driving range. There are no obstacles, no profession, and you may have more skills than you poor people in practice a ball game, there is no psychological pressure, or even a sense of superiority. Not the same in the stadium, in front of a body of water, the green in front of a big mouth of the bunker, the green side of the side that is out of bounds, it can have serious psychological impact of their own. Many people in the driving range is no goal, only for stability and the ball longer distances, but not concerned about the track and the placement of the ball flight.

There are many environmental factors can influence our score on the driving range. End play, mental state must maintain a driving range, adjust the style of play according to different conditions. Everyone should have a goal before hitting.

Birdie Hitting Guide-to Narrow Target Area

2007 US Open golfers: Allen Doyle

Posted on by

Allen Doyle can usually be found at his driving range, about an hour out of Atlanta in LaGrange, Georgia. At least, when he is not competing in Senior PGA tournaments, or other events for which he has qualified. He is, literally, an accidental professional golfer, having turned pro at the ripe old age of 46.

Doyle is as unique as it gets in terms of a story of a professional golfer. In his college days he played hockey. His personality, and viewpoint of life reflects his past. The office he maintains at his driving range/golf center is a converted wooden shed painted barn red. No one would ever guess that he led the Senior Tour in winnings in 2001 with more than 2 and a half million dollars of tournament winnings, plus a one million dollar bonus. What’s more, he donated the million dollar bonus to charity!

Allen Doyle left the “real world” employment wise at 33 years of age, and began managing the LaGrange golf course. Several years later he leased his driving range, and began an amazing journey towards becoming a professional golfer. For years he competed, and won at the amateur level. He has a, self-described, “respectful fear of failure”. His decision to turn pro in 1994 was made in the hopes of helping him put his daughters through college. He is one golfer who never had the goal of becoming rich, and famous. His daughters’ education was foremost in his ambitions.

The success enjoyed by Allen Doyle in the world of golf is not totally a surprise in some respects. He played golf, as well as hockey at Norwich University in Vermont. His success in amateur tournaments through the years was impressive. The surprise lies in his having found such success at a time when many of his contemporaries are retiring, no longer competitive golfers.

Besides having a personality that sometimes displays expletive-laced language befitting a fierce competitor, Doyle has a “heart of gold” by most peoples’ definition. Upon winning his first tournament, he decided to donate $25,000. to Habitat for Humanity. The next two tournament wins, he did the same. He is a generous man who chooses to share his good fortune.

Allen Doyle is a special kind of man, and golfer. His physical skills are considerable, but unusual for a golfer. Remnants of years of playing hockey define his golf stroke. With very little back-swing, he seems to sweep the ball forward, and very effectively. His putting stroke seems to have the same influence. His excellent self-taught golfing skills, in combination with a tremendous determination to succeed have made him the dominant senior player on tour. It is said that the madder he gets, the better he plays.

Every man has a unique story to tell, but few are as unique as Allen Doyle is in the world of golf. While Allen Doyle has remarked that “no one knows what I’ve been through”, we can all nod in approval at where he is at today, the top. He is an amazing man, with an amazing story.
