Tips For The Beginner and Experienced Golfer

/ The Grateful Golfer / 2 Comments

When fledgling golfers take up the game, they sometimes wonder about the basic nuances of the game. Well, not to worry because I found a video that will help you to start building a knowledge of the game that can be a great part of your leisure time.

Tip number 11 is a very good tip that many beginners overlook. I played many inexpensive balls over the years and realize that I did not always have to pay a great deal of money to find the ball that fits my game. I was never limited or loyal to a manufacturer because I believed and believe that each has something to offer every golfer.

The decision to play a specific ball is a personal one and I wish you luck on your pursuit of the perfect ball for your game.

Yesterday, I played in a three person scramble with my friends Rick and Fernando. We have played in events before and we felt confident that we could compete with the other teams. As it turned out, we did not play as well as we had hoped, but that is okay because the company was fantastic and the course (Osprey Links) was in fantastic shape. We finished at minus 2 and left many birdies on the course; is that not always the way!

Committing to My 60 Degree Wedge

/ The Grateful Golfer / 5 Comments

During yesterday’s round, I decided to make all chips with my 60 degree wedge. Recently, my wedge was crying due to lack of use, so it was time to blow off the dust and put this potentially amazing club to work. I committed to using my 60 degree for every chip under 20 yards. I have to admit that I was a little nervous about my decision, but I am happy with the results!
