Awesome Golf Carts

Most amateur golfers are not taking the time to read the green before they hit a putt. They should have looked to see how steep that slope was or why they did not see they were into the grain.

Majority of all putting greens in the world are built lower in the front of the green and higher in the back. This is to hold incoming shots from the fairway and also the problem of drainage. The game would be unfair if the greens were built higher in the front and lower in the back.

Follow the following step-by-step method on reading greens every time you walk on a putting green you will become a putting genius very soon:

Step Number One:

When you walk on to a putting green walk directly over to your golf ball, mark it and head straight to the back of the putting green. You would get a better perspective from the back of the green looking back to the front of the green.

Step Number Two:

Check whether your ball is above the cup, below the cup or across from the cup. Above the cup means your ball is between you and the cup, the low side of the cup means the cup is between you and the ball and across from it means the ball is level with the cup (from where you are standing). Also, check if your ball is on the right side of the cup, left side of the cup or in line with the cup.

This would allow you to determine whether your putt is fast, slow or medium speed and also whether your putt is going to break left, right or go straight.

The following putting drill would further help you in your putting:

This drill is to help you judge the distance of your putt through feeling it with your body and your hands instead of looking.

Put three golf balls in front of you, next to each other so that you can putt the balls one after the other. Start putting the first ball about 15 to 20 feet away from the hole while keeping your head down. After putting the first ball, and without lifting your head, try to putt the second ball followed by the third ball, all this time keeping your head down.

The idea is to use the feel of your body and your hands to judge and repeat the distance of your first putt without having to look up to see how and where the balls have gone. You only look up after you’ve finished putting the third ball.

This is one exercise you can do at home, on the putting green or wherever you like. You can even do it without a hole because all you’re doing is putting for distance.

The single most important full swing fundamental in golf is the setup position i.e. how to align you body and where to place the ball.

Alignment
Your body especially your feet should be positioned parallel to the target line. The golfer will appear slightly left of the target because the ball is on the target line while the body is not. The easiest way to imagine this is the image of a railroad track. Your body is on the inside rail and the ball is on the outside rail.

For the middle irons, your feet should be shoulder width.  The short iron stance will be two inches narrower and the stance for long irons and woods should be two inches wider. The foot at the target-side should be flared toward the target from 20 to 40 degrees. This is to allow the body to rotate toward the target on the downswing. The back foot should be square (90 degrees to the target line) to slightly open to create the proper hip turn on the back swing.

Ball Placement

The ball placement varies with the club you select.

1)  For short irons e.g. wedges, 9-iron and 8-iron, place the ball in the centre portion of your stance. These clubs have the most upright lie angles and they must be swung at the steepest angle, and you should take a divot in front of the ball.

2) For middle irons, place the one ball toward the target-side foot from centre (a ball left of centre for the right-handed golfer). These clubs have a slightly flatter lie angle and you should take a slightly shallower divot than with the short irons.

3)  For the long irons and fairway woods, the ball position is two balls toward the target-side foot from centre. With these clubs, the ball should be struck directly at the bottom of the swing arc with very little divot.

4) For the driver, the ball is placed farthest forward (three balls left of centre for the right-hander) to strike the ball on the upswing.

With short irons, your body weight should be 60% on the target side foot. For middle iron shots, the body weight should be 50/50 or equal on each foot. For your longest clubs, place 60% of your weight on the backside.

Golf lovers looking for a conversation to have while consuming a beer will often discuss the most incredible golf stars of their respective times. The game of golf changes in every epoch. The golf players have gotten stronger, and even more importantly, the gear has gotten much better. Today, <a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.dhgate.com/wholesale+golf+clubs.html”>wholesale golf clubs</a> are works of craftsmanship, adding distance and marksmanship to anyone’s match.

Our selection for the 1st era is Bobby Jones, the most incredible amateur player to ever swing the sticks. In 1930, Jones won the Grand Slam overcoming all amateurs and professionals. Ponder thatfeat. In the U.K., he won both the British Amateur Championship and the British Open. Golf’s Grand Gentleman conquered thirteen majors and quit competitive golf attwenty-eight. Others like the tremendous competitor Byron Nelson were splendid during this era, but we’d put our wager on Hogan in an 18-hole playoff any time.

Our selection for the second time frame is amazing ball-striker Ben Hogan. He won an bodacious sixty-three tournaments from the late 30’s to late 50’s, despite losing time to WWII and a near-fatal accident. A unyielding competitor, Hogan epitomized endurance and his capability to hit perfect shots from anywhere on the tees. He spent decades analyzing the golf swing, and created one of the superior swings ever found on the fairways! Golf clubs wholesalers have been vending sticks designed by Hogan for years.

Arnold Palmer heads the list for the 3rd incredible player. The man at the front of Arnie’s Army used his strange swing to conquere large numbers of hardware, and the hearts of the ordinary golf player in the process. Golf stars headed out to buy wholesale golf clubs and learn the game after watching Palmer play. In one of golf’s greatest comebacks, Palmer emergedfrom seven strokes back in the last round to win the 1960 U.S. Open. The crowd cheered him to victory. He won 7 majors among his 60 tour victories, earning the golf nickname “the King.” Palmer bests Nicklaus in our list, but we admit it’s a controversial pick.

The Master of the current game is a tough selection. Actually, it’s not. Only a fool would not pick Tiger Woods. He is on pace to destroy all the golf records, and now his clubs are hot items with golf club wholesalers, too. We hope they’ll help us play like him!
