The dreaded slice. Perhaps the most common shot in golf, the slice is the shot that most players – regardless of ability – battle on a daily basis. Whether it be from the tee or the fairway, a slicing shot generally curves offline to the target and normally comes up short as well. What’s a [...]

If you’ve ever looked for new equipment, you know what a “jungle” it is out there in the marketplace. There’s lots of information to sort through and many new clubs and technologies are vying for your attention and money. Will longer clubs give me more distance? Playing with clubs that are the correct length will [...]

The most important thing to look for in a used wedge is the integrity of the scoring grooves. They should be as sharp and as well defined as is possible. If the groove edges are too much worn down and rounded off the club will never perform as was originally intended. Excess bottom wear should [...]

Take any of your clubs and address the ball.  Does your stance and posture feel comfortable?  Or are you just used to standing that way since you’ve had your clubs for a long time?  Let’s experiment for a just a minute.  Grip down on the club about an inch.  What does that feel like?  It [...]

There are at least three fine weighted training clubs on the market. We recommend The Momentus as endorsed by David Duval. It is a standard-looking iron except for its school bus yellow shaft. When you pick it up, however, you will notice that it is extremely heavy. After a slow swing or two you will [...]

We women are fully aware that a size 12 by one clothing manufacturer is not equal to a size 12 by another clothing manufacturer. Consequently, clothes must be tried on in order to determine the best fit. This frustrating experience can be made easier, though, if the salesperson is familiar with you, your body type, [...]

Golfers vary. If you give Davis Love III or Brad Faxon a club which is slightly heavier than what they are used to it will noticeably throw them off. Hulk Hogan or Arnold Schwarznegger will never notice the difference. The ball will just go farther. The nature of their muscle mass is what limits their [...]

The most common mistake made by male golfers is buying grips which are too large for them. We men don’t like the word “small” and aren’t too wild about the words, “medium” or, “standard” either. “Large”, “Oversized” and especially, “Jumbo” are the words which appeal to us. Thicker grips also invariably feel attractive to lower-level [...]

Putting the ball in play. That’s what it’s all about. How much easier is it to hit your second shot from the fairway than from the rough or the trees? It’s even easier if your drive is longer and closer to the green, right? No question about it, driving the ball long and straight sets [...]

Make certain that you are not paying more for the used set than you would be for a new set of the exact same model. Many times a golfer pays $599.00 for a new set of irons and then sells them a year or two later for $450.00. If the irons are in good shape [...]

A golf glove is optional, but most golfers wouldn’t take a swing without one. A glove on the target-side hand (the left hand for right-handed golfers) helps to provide a comfortable feel for the hand and keeps the golf club from slipping during a full swing. Most golfers putt without a glove for added feel, [...]

It is not unusual to see people who never wear a hat use a cap or visor on a golf course. Other than making a fashion statement, it also shields the eyes and protects the skin from the sun’s rays. Golf players around the world understand that wearing sun protection hats gives them a competitive [...]

Some golfers consider a golf bag as their luggage on the course. It serves its primary purpose of holding all their clubs, plus it has an assortment of pockets and pouches to keep golf balls and all other accessories and belongings organized during a round of golf. Professional players usually use oversized tournament bags that [...]

The weather on a golf course can be unpredictable. A sunny morning can turn into a gloomy afternoon during an 18-hole round. Or a foggy day can lead to a damp outing. One way to tolerate wet and cooler conditions and still play golf is with nylon raingear, usually consisting of a long-sleeved golf jacket [...]

When it rains on a golf course, keeping equipment dry is as important as keeping the golfer dry. That helps explain why golf umbrellas are oversized. Some canopies measure as wide as 68 inches to withstand the wind as well as the rain. When you are shopping for a golf umbrella, look for solid construction. [...]

Golf clothing encompasses many styles and colors, but unlike years past, a golfer is not identified by strange fabrics and garish colors. For men, standard golf clothes on the course includes loose-fitting pleated pants or lengthy shorts, a collared shirt with either long or short sleeves and, on cooler days, a light sweater or vest.
