Collecting Golf Books

Collecting Golf Books

Collecting golf books is a great way to improve your golf game.

The chances are that if you play golf you will want to read about golf and golfers, past and present. How they played their shots, their mental approach to the golf game, etc. Golf need not be a game you play then go home and forget about until your next round of golf. 

By dipping into the vast amount of literature that has been published on golf you can read about how you should have played that approach shot to the sixth green.

The thing I find most helpful in assisting me to improve my golf game is being able to model my swing on one of the golf super stars. A golf role model if you will.  If you can take some pictures of your golf setup and your actual golf swing you get to see yourself as others see you play your golf shots. This can be used to your advantage because you can then shape your golf swing how you want it to look. For example, if you notice your back swing is too flat, you simply work on making it more upright. Get the idea?

Having chosen your role model, try and copy his or her golf swing. You just go through the golf bag and study how he or she plays each shot, from tee to green. If your role model is Ben Hogan, you can start your golf book collection by buying all the golf books he has written. I suggest you buy rather than borrow golf books, because golf is a game you will probably play for life once you start playing the game, and I certainly like to have golf books around so I can dip into them anytime I want to.

The Ben Hogan books are mainly instructional, and there are lots of photographs and diagrams in them to illustrate his golf swing. This is just one example of where to start collecting golf books. There are other ways to start a golf book collection.

Golf Fitness Equipment to Put Into Your Golf Workout

Golf Fitness Equipment to Put Into Your Golf Workout

You are practicing on your game but you want to hit the driver farther and straighter. A good teaching professional could help you but you do not want to spend all of that money. Golf fitness equipment may be the answer for you. Many times the students we teach are not flexible enough to reach the correct golf swing positions. This is where we have to improvise as teachers and players. With this in mind, it is easier to make one lever move the same direction every single time as opposed to two levers.

The golf fitness equipment that you need may be as simple as an exercise mat. With an exercise mat, you will be able to improve your flexibility by doing golf-specific stretching exercises. There are many golf fitness books that spell out a golf flexibility program for you. Whatever you do, before you start a rigorous golf workout or golf stretching program, be sure to consult your physician for approval.

So, what should an ideal golf fitness flexibility program consist of and what types of golf fitness equipment should it include?

Your golf fitness program should have many variations such as a long version for regular training days and a short version for Pre-Round Stretching. A variety of golf fitness equipment will help keep you interested in your workout. A few variations with the large exercise ball should also be included. Using the golf exercise ball during your golf specific workout is extremely important for the golfer as it allows you to work out your core muscles. Your pre-round stretching routine you can do even with a couple of stretches with a couple of golf clubs to do just before tee-off and between holes if necessary.

Your stretching and workout program should be thorough. The program should address your head and neck and go all of the way down to the feet. Why is this? The reason is because the golf swing is a movement of the entire body.

Your program must be symmetrical for your body. This simply means that what you workout or stretch or workout out on one side of your body, you also need to do the same on the other side. This is the true key to maintaining optimal muscle, tendon and joint balance on both sides of your body. This allows for enhanced golf swing power without a large increase in swing effort. In addition and more importantly, you will keep your body equal on both sides.

The program must include several key compound stretches. Compound stretches elongate several joint areas at the same time which will mimic natural movement patterns. This also allows the golfer to be more accurate through enhanced fitness flexibility, body awareness and control.

You should feel good afterward. This type of stretch routine or golf specific workout using golf fitness equipment should make you feel as if your posture is immediately better and you should feel stronger. You should almost feel like you could rip the cover off a ball if you were to hit one right after your golf fitness stretch routine.

Golf fitness equipment for your workout can vary depending on what you are attempting to improve. Many successful golf workout programs use golf fitness equipment such as free weights, weighted practice clubs, resistance cords, medicine balls and an exercise mat.

Purchase Golf Bags For You

Purchase Golf Bags For You

As you have made the decision to play golf this spring, you are wondering what type of golf bag that you will need for the new golf season. If you have just started playing golf or have been playing for awhile you will need to consider what the options are as the bags come in a variety of types. Manufacturers make various types of golf bags include carry bags, cart bags and travel bags.

You will be in the market for new stand golf bags or a carry golf bags if you intend to walk the golf course when you play. Many players do this for fitness purposes or because and some others do it for the enjoyment of feeling like one with nature. Stand bags or carry bags are lightweight so that they are easily carried and are often made of lightweight material such as nylon. These bags are typically the smallest in size. However, they have ample room for your entire set of golf clubs and accessories that you will need to enjoy your round of golf. These golf bags are referred to as stand bags because when it is time to put the bag down to play your shot you can use a specially designed stand to keep the bag off the ground and upright.

As it sounds, cart golf bags are designed to be placed on the back of an electric or gas golf cart or a three wheeled push cart. For the average golfer, a cart bag is simply too big and heavy to carry. Cart bags are typically made of heavier materials such as leather and are larger by construction. This makes them very difficult to carry for most golfers to carry for most amateurs. Some cart bags do not even provide a shoulder strap as they are expected to sit on the back of a golf cart. With that being said, many golf cart bags have a strap that will allow you to carry them. Hopefully, this will only be around the clubhouse!

You may also want to think about how much golf you are going to play when you are traveling and purchasing a golf travel bag. A travel golf bags provide protection for your clubs while you travel whether on a plane or in a car. If you think that you will travel mainly by car then a soft golf travel bag would most likely be the best choice for you. They are lightweight and compact. Alternatively for those who travel by plane, a hard travel would be the ideal choice.

Before making a decision on purchasing between stand golf bags, cart golf bags as well as if you will need a golf travel cover, there are a few choices that you need to make. Once these choices are made, you can then select a golf bag that will meet your needs and help you to enjoy the game of golf. I have found that the more that you enjoy the game, typically the better that you will play.

3 Reasons to Use a Golf Push Cart

3 Reasons to Use a Golf Push Cart

Whether you are a beginner or a savvy pro, using a golf push cart can improve your game. Using this piece of golf equipment not only allows the golfer to enjoy the true nature and beauty of a golf course but it is also a fantastic way to get into shape. Carrying your heavy golf bag can cause straining on your back and shoulders. Instead of worrying about these aches and pains, eliminate them by using a golf push cart to ensure that the only thing on your mind is strategically approaching the next tee.

Reason # 1: Know Your Golf Course

Riding around in a motorized golf cart is a convenient way to get through eighteen holes, however, whizzing through the course does not help you get to know the terrain and can ultimately hurt your game in the long run. While using a golf push cart across the landscape, you are able to learn more about the course and gain insight as to what was behind the design strategy of the course. This knowledge can only be used to your advantage in the game. One of the things that makes golf so challenging, and often frustrating, are the complexities of the golf course. Walking with a golf bag push cart allows you to gain an appreciation for the intricacies of the course that are not visible from a golf cart.

Reason #2: Shape It Up

Nay-sayers will state that walking with a golf push cart is not necessarily a good form of exercise because of the stop-and-go methods used throughout the course. This could not be further from the truth. Walking is the most fundamental form of all exercise programs and assuming 18 holes are played, this will equate to 45 minutes of aerobics. With this sort of statement it only makes sense that walking a golf course would be considered good for you.

And let’s not forget the golf course itself! Walking the course with a golf push cart is a commendable thing to do for the sake of the course as well. It reduces wear-and-tear as well as the damage to sensitive areas of the course. This, in turn, will create a better golfing environment.

Reason #3: Play Like a Pro

When you watch professional golfers play, they have the convenience of their caddy with them to assist in anything they may need. With the newest features that have been added to golf push carts, it’s like having your very own caddy on wheels. These carts are designed and built with your needs in mind. For example, if you like the idea of a golf bag push cart but are not in the best of shape as of yet, manufacturers have developed self-propelled carts which are a luxury that no golfer should do without. Additionally, golf push carts nowadays have features such as holders for your scorecard, water bottle, umbrella, and cell phone.

Utilizing a golf push cart during your next golf tournament is advantageous for multiple reasons from improving your game to improving your health. The evidence is clear; you will play better and feel better when you opt for a golf push cart rather than a traditional motorized cart.

What Should Be in Your Golf Bag

What Should Be in Your Golf Bag

Whether you are walking the golf course or riding in a golf cart, there are many items that you should carry in your golf bag. We will get right to it. Items to carry in your golf bag include:

Sunscreen - Just face it, no matter what part of the country that you live in, you must protect yourself against the harmful rays of the sun. Even on days that to you are not that hot. The damaging rays are still getting to your skin. I have seen fair-skinned people turn red on a cloudy day! Check with your doctor on how strong of a SPF you need to protect yourself. Sunscreen now comes in many different forms now to make it easy to carry with you and to apply during your round of golf.

Golf Hat - Your golf hat will work in conjunction with your sunscreen to protect your skin against damage from the sun. In addition, a golf hat will keep the sweat out of your eyes on the brutally hot days. Ladies a golf hat will also allow you to keep your hair out of your face whether the wind is blowing or not.

Baggie for Golf Gloves - These is an easy and cheap way to make your golf gloves last longer. Keeping your golf gloves in a baggie will keep them all in one place and with the baggie sealed your golf gloves will last longer.

Golf Training Aids - This is obviously easier to do if you are riding in a golf cart and have a cart bag or a staff bag. It also depends on the golf training aids that you are using. For example, if you are using an extra shaft to work on your turn, the weight will not bother you even if you are walking and carrying your bag. Conversely, some of the putting training aids get vary bulky and would be difficult to fit into a golf bag.

Ball Markers - If you are like me I use loose change as my ball makers. I like using the quarters of the states that I have visited. Goofy, I know but it keeps me off the streets. HAHA It always seems I need extra change around the club as well. You might collect ball markers from the golf courses that you have played and a second baggie will help keep them in one place and not damage them as well.

Golf Balls - This seems obvious that you would carry golf balls in your golf bag but you would be surprised! Also, if you are playing in a tournament with a one ball rule this becomes important. With this rule, you can not just pull the ball out of your pocket that you found on the last hole, drop it and play it. The ball you put into play after hitting a ball out of bounds or into the water must be the same type that you were playing with before. The number can be different on it but that is about it.

Again, this is a quick list of things you should carry in your golf bag. The more you play you will develop you own standards to carry in your bag as it will differ depending on the area of the country in which you reside.
