Choosing The Right Golf Ball

When it comes to selecting which golf ball to play, you literally have a thousand choices. They range in prices anywhere from mild to wild. When you play a ball that is properly fit for your game, your shot execution will improve and you will lower your score. Every shot counts and so does your ball, yet we often hear golfers say they play with "whatever is in my bag." Performance differences between golf ball brands and models are game changing, especially on short game scoring shots. Playing with the same ball model every round eliminates this performance variation and will help you hit more greens in regulation and hit the ball closer to the pin to convert more putts. This is one of the first steps to developing a more consistent game. Remember, there's only one piece of equipment you use on every shot, your golf ball. Choose A Ball That Best Fits Your Short Game Regardless of skill level, golfers hit their driver only 14 times per round. The vast majority of shots...

Stand facing the golf ball with both of your feet together about a little less than an arm's length away from the golf ball. Keep your left shoulder toward the target. 4. Take a little step away from your target with your left foot. Now take a normal step back using your right foot. ...

Men's Golf Shoes - Critical Tips to Choose a Good Male Golf Shoe

For a long time, there was a debate within the golf circles about the influence a golf shoe has on the overall performance of a golfer during a golf game. Recently, however, statistics have shown that golfers who play the golf game with good golf shoes perform much better compared to when they play with an ordinary shoe say sneakers. Since that is the case, our major concern now is how to choose a good golf shoe.

The Evolution of Women's Golf Apparel - Appropriate Or Crossing the Line?

As a forty-something woman golfer who grew up as a teen in the 70s-80s (and am now a parent of three) I find myself trapped in a zone between two battling groups of women trying to determine a proper dress code for the course. It used to be that women wore clothes that covered up every inch of their bodies - even if you were hitting the ball in 100 degree Texas heat. But as time wore on, hemlines crept up - so much so that it seems as if today's young female golfers are just as concerned about looking good as they are about their handicap. Golf has become an even more popular sport among young people. It's trendy, it can help you form business relationships, and it's an activity both men and women can participate in together. So it's no wonder that golf manufacturers are now catering to that demographic. I know when I take my own mom (now in her 60s) out for a round, she has a wide-brimmed hat on, long-sleeves and a pair of pants on that just look uncomfortable to...

Women's Golf Apparel - A Soft Symbol of Sexes Disparity in Sports

There used to be a disparity between men's professional sports and women's professional sports. The major disparity was in the cash prizes for women's professional sports. It used to be that the prize money difference was more than half of what men used to get, then what women were receiving. This rebellion against such differences was done in the field of tennis, with the ringleaders being Billie Jean King and Rosie Casals who in 1973 organized what is now the Women's Tennis Association. By getting majority of the women tennis players on board, eventually, the prize money was increased to more acceptable levels and just recently, in the last ten years or so, this disparity has slowly disappeared. Now, in the major grand slam events, equal prize money is given to the men and women's singles tournament competition. This parity now has some form of criticism as in the major grand slam tournaments like the Australian Open, The French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, me...

Women's Golf Apparel - Are You Ready to Play?

It's such a great time to be a woman golfer. We've got our terrific LPGA pros to inspire us. Equipment manufacturers and retailers are (finally!) paying closer attention to us. And women's golf apparel is entering a golden age. Today's golf apparel designers are creating outfits for women that are both fashionable and functional. It's easier than ever to show the world how great we feel when we step out onto the course. It's also more important than ever to keep our eye out for golf clothing design trends. After all, who wants to miss out on the latest design fun? Fortunately, it's easy to put together an up-to-date golf wardrobe that also captures your personal style. First, look at general fashion trends. Take color, for instance.

So it's no surprise that a splash of yellow is brightening up the blu...

Women's Golf Apparel Has Come a Long Way

Women have been playing golf for as long as five hundred years, with Mary, Queen of Scots, having been recorded in history as one of the earliest female golf enthusiasts. While we can only conjecture as to how the earliest women golfers dressed, we do know that women's golf apparel has evolved quite a bit even over the past seventy years or so when women golfers began to capture the nation's attention by putting an end to the image of golf as a private preserve for men in the United States. If pioneer golfer Babe Didrikson Zaharias were to return to a professional or amateur golf tournament of today, she would be completely out of place as far as  women's golf apparel  is concerned. Her crushed and flat golf cap has now been replaced by women's golf hats of all patterns and descriptions, that are similar in shape and appearance to baseball caps and far more comfortable than any women's hats of her era. Admittedly, and despite her nickname, this multi-talented athl...

Confused With All the Travel Information on the Internet?

There is so much information available on the internet right now regarding travel. There are online travel sites for cruises, hotels, air, trains and any other type of travel. But what is the correct product for you? Is the location of the hotel where you want to be? Is the type of room or cabin the right fit for you? Is that cruise line the one you should be booking? Not all products are created equal nor are the products right for everyone. How do you tell? Contact a travel professional. Do travel agents exist?
