7 Golf Tips
It’s when you start to play golf that you learn swiftest. If you have got bad golf habits today, you probably learned them when you first took up golf. But the better news is that any person can break bad habits and learn good ones. Here are 2 pointers to help you on your way to playing better golfing.
1. Your target is critical. If you can’t send the ball in the right path you will never get it in any of the holes. The clubface is the only thing that propels the ball, so line up the clubface with the target first, then take your stance with your shoulders parallel to the target line.
2. Always aim away from potential difficulties. Tee the ball on the side where the problem is. This is going to help to keep the ball in play and sidestep any penalties.
3. Bad wrist action equals a bad shot in 90 % of cases. Keep the left wrist flat re the back of the left forearm and the back of the left hand, and do not swing the club back farther than shoulder turn.
4. Read the green properly. A golf ball will most likely roll away from a hill and toward a water source. Therefore keep this in mind and adjust as required.
5. The grain of the green is crucial too as it effects the roll. Glossy grass show the grain running away from you, and dreary grass highlights the grain running towards you. Putts with the grain go faster and further. Those against the grain go slower and less far.
6. Your shoulders should follow your swing. They ought to be passive and not lead. Remember that your shoulder movement will decide the direction that your club, and so the ball, will travel.
7. Place the golfball on the ground and take your stance in such a fashion the shade of your head covers the ball. Make your swing keeping your eyes on the shade. If the shade moves off the ball you have lost the correct swing center. If you keep the shadow on the ball, although it moves a bit you have maintained the correct swing position.

Travelling Golfers want to play the Better Courses.
Among the hundreds of thousands of golfers in the world, many are avid travellers. They like to combine holidays, weekend breaks and business trips with a chance to play the best courses in their chosen destinations. Great courses act like magnets to discerning golfers. Poor quality courses and facilities are not what travelling golfers are typically looking for – although value for money is often a consideration.
It is surprisingly difficult however, for travelling golfers to identify the best areas for golfing breaks, which courses to play when they get there, and what to expect from any particular course. Most of the available guides (books) contain purely factual information and give the golfer little idea of the quality of the courses, or which courses will give them the best “golfing day-out. Distinctively different from golf guides mentioned above, are large, glossy, coffee-table books, that might delve into very considerable detail on a few “blue-chip” courses – but are far from ideal for planning and booking golfing trips or holidays.
Many online golf guides display all golf courses but fail to answer key questions for golfers. Travel sites list only those golf clubs and hotels with which they have commercial arrangements. Still other sites show only the very top courses or focus on a limited geography. Travelling golfers often want to play the better courses in an area, and need a reliable rating system, contact details and information about what they’ll find when they get there.
One needs to set out a remedy for these information gaps. Golfers want to find out what each course is really like and are eager to learn about the historical background of each golf club. Golfers want high quality photos of the courses and location maps, showing all highly rated courses within a region,to facilitate golf break and holiday planning.
