Bushnell Tour Rangefinder – Getting The Tools You Need For A Better Golf Game!
September 2, 2010 by articles
Filed under Golf-For-Beginners
There are many golfers that believe their game will only improve if they spend more money on clubs. However, they forget that there is more to equipment than just your golf clubs. A device that can give you the most accurate yardages from your ball to the pin is also very important. This has many advantages and the Bushnell pro tour rangefinder is a great choice for all levels of golfers from beginner to the scratch handicap.
When you know how far you need to hit the golf ball and you begin to figure out how far you can hit your clubs you will have much more confidence in the shot you are trying to hit. When you have confidence in the shot at hand you are better of than if you are guessing and you have a better chance of hitting a better shot.
One of the most aggressive advantages of the Bushnell pro tour rangefinder line is that they come with a pin seeking laser, which guarantees you will always have the most accurate yardage possible for your next shot. This is very important because when your yardage device does not give you the pin point accuracy that you need you will struggle to pick the club and the shot you should be hitting.
When you have the proper equipment you can cut your handicap in half much faster. Custom fit golf clubs and a custom fit golf ball are a must, but do not forget about the Bushnell pro tour rangefinder because without knowing how far you are from the pin you will never be able to hit those custom clubs or that expensive ball close enough to the hole to get more pars and birdies on a regular basis. This is what all golfers need and you must get the birdies to play better golf.

Anxiety: The Best Method To Quickly Eliminate Tension On The Golf Course
September 2, 2010 by articles
Filed under Golf-For-Beginners
When you start losing tempo while you are in the middle of your game, you can easily detect it. Your swing starts to move fast and unusual rather than slow and fluid. You can see that there is already a disconnection between your upper and lower body as well as your hands and arms.
When you lose tempo, your focus is also affected. When this happens, you become more fearful of the game. As fear takes place, tension levels will surely be on the rise. If you try to battle out that feeling, the greater is the possibility for the anxiety level to increase. You might even ask yourself;
“Can I pull this through well? Will this turn out to be correct? Will this putt end up a disgrace? Could I also miss the one foot putt? Why are these things taking place?”
The Solution to Your Problems
Say goodbye to your tension level, along wit anxiety, and of course you have to take your groove back.
You can commence with a deep breath. When you do this, more oxygen comes in your body, resulting to a lowered heart rate.
After that, take some fake yawns.
This technique is done by Olympic athletes. Just as when they are about to start the race, they yawn which will seemingly place them to sleep, but in reality, they are just beginning to start the race. This is a simple trick by which they get some breathe of fresh air.
Anxiety As a Result Overanalyzing The Game
Golf games start to be distracted once you also start being so focused on the conscious part of the game. Instead of doing that, divert your attention more on the subconscious. Feel the things that are entirely irrelevant to the game such as the trees, music, and the like.
Don’t think too much about every situation you encounter. Don’t bother yourself much with every swing you do. You simply have to trust what you do and the rest will follow. Just play the game as it comes.
Try to do anything that you can do to relax. Talk to the people you are playing with, look at the things suroounding you and anything that you can think of. At the end of the day, golf is just a game. No pressures, relax and eventually you will end up the best golfer ever!
Learning How To Swing A Golf Club As Easy As 1, 2, 3
September 2, 2010 by articles
Filed under Golf-For-Beginners
A lot of people fear that they are not going to be a good golfer because there are so many different aspects and details to the game.Yes this is true, but everyone needs to get started somewhere and even the professional golfers like Tiger Woods were beginners once and had to learn how to play the game.Just remember that with a bit of practice you are going to be able to improve your skills and become a great golfer.Even the pros had to start somewhere.
One thing that anyone learning how to swing a golf club needs to know is that the grip is the greatest area to focus on first.First you want to choose the right golf club and this is going to depend on your weight, height, sex and a few other intimate factors.When you are holding the club you want to keep your muscles relaxed and your head up, body nearly straight with your knees only slightly bent.You should always keep a firm grip on the golf club throughout the entire swing because the last thing that you want is to have the club go flying out of your hands.
There are other aspects involved with learning how to swing a golf club as well.If any of these is not being performed correctly, the whole swing is going to be way off.The backswing can be one of the trickiest parts of the shot to master.One of the best golf tips to remember on the backswing when you are learning how to swing a golf club is to always keep your eye on the golf club throughout the backswing.
When learning how to swing a golf club, one of the best ways to get more familiar with it all is to watch some professional golf games on television.You will see how these seasoned golf pros grip their clubs and what their stance is like on the downswing.Keep a firm grip on the club and when your club does make contact with the ball you should have your shoulders parallel to the ball.Your body weight should be evenly balanced from top to bottom and back and forth.
Sun Mountain 2010 Mirco Cart – An Excellent Alternative To Clicgear
September 2, 2010 by articles
Filed under Golf-For-Beginners
Talk long enough to anyone who regularly walks when they play golf and they’ll eventually tell you two things. First, walking is the best way to play golf. The fresh air, the feel of the ground beneath your feed, the perfect rhythm it creates. And second, that sometimes 14 clubs, a dozen balls, a rain jacket, an umbrella, a bag, and miscellaneous other goodies can be an awful lot to carry.
Trolleys or carts – be they of the push or pull variety – have long served as an excellent compromise. Golfers could walk and enjoy all that offers them while shedding the load from shoulders already burdened with making par at the last to relieve their friends of a few bucks.
Design, Setup, and Specifications
The first thing you’ll probably notice about the Sun Mountain 2010 Micro Cart is that, unlike virtually every other push cart you’ve seen with three wheels, the Micro Cart has four. Sun Mountain says that the extra wheel eliminates the need to tune the cart to travel in a straight line – and if you’ve ever had an improperly-adjusted three-wheel push cart you know what they mean. Additionally, the added wheel increases stability when you’re traveling on sideways slopes.
Micro Cart Open
Sun Mountain made sure that you’d notice something else as well: the incredibly small size of the Micro Cart. The Micro Cart folds down to 2.7 cubic feet and doesn’t require any assembly. The golf cart folds up or out in one or two basic moves. Those 52 cubic inches break down as follows: 12″ x 17″ x 25″ (Those are my measurements. Officially it’s 24″ x 16″ x 12″). This leaves the Micro Cart marginally larger than the Clicgear, which clocks in at: 13″ x 15″ x 24″. An inch here or there, so basically you take take this away: they’re virtually the same size when folded.
But the the Sun Mountain Micro Cart wins in another “micro” way: weight. The Sun Mountain cart tallies a svelte 13 pounds. Compare that to the Clicgear at 18 pounds. Now, a few pounds is not a lot of weight when you’re talking about things with wheels, but five pounds is bordering on significant simply because you’ve gotta bend into your car to pull the push cart out from time to time.
Micro Cart Bottom
The Micro Cart’s four wheels are standard, low-maintenance solid foam, both as a space and weight savings and convenience – no flat tires (and no pump necessary). The front tires are mounted on an adjustable axle to accommodate the largest of golf bags. The frame is anodized aluminum, is available in four colors (black, silver, red, blue), and folds in one simple motion. The Sun Mountain Micro 4 Wheel Push Cart offers two handle-height positions, a strapless bag bracket, and a console with a padded valuables tray, ball and tee holders, a magnetized scorecard holder, and a drink holder.
The Micro Cart also boasts what Sun Mountain has billed as “a totally new, contemporary look.” Uhmmm, okay. It’s a push cart, fellas. Let’s not get too carried away in the marketing department! It looks nice, but, well, okay.
MSRP is $239, but you can find the Micro Cart for $199 pretty easily.
Setup, Operation, and Performance
From its folded up position, unfolding the Micro Cart is a simple process. First you must unlatch the handle (the latch is part of the cupholder), then you lift. The cart unfolds outward and upward with that one motion, and is virtually ready to use. The second (or third) step is to flip a latching mechanism over and click it down to lock the push cart in place. Oh, there’s also fourth step as well: flip up the foot upon which your bag rests.
To fold the cart, you reverse the steps: flip the bag-rest foot down, unlock the clip, and push down, making sure that click one of the clips onto the proper area of the cupholder. This clip locks the cart in a folded position. You can carry it about by the handles in this folded, locked position pretty easily.
Micro Cart Folded
The Micro Cart folds up to a very small size: 12″ x 16″ x 24″ or so. Seen here with a golf cart bag.
In either direction, the process takes about ten seconds, and that’s if it takes you six seconds to start and stop the timer. It’s at least as easy to fold as the Clicgear cart, and likely a bit easier.
Like Sun Mountain’s other carts, the bag doesn’t so much “attach” to the cart as it rests upon it. The two frame rails at the base of the cart support the cart bag while the aforementioned flip-out foot supports the weight of the bag. Near the bag’s collar, two flip-out plastic clips squeeze the bag to hold it in place. These clips are adjustable via a simple thumb screw, and do all that’s necessary. Except for the rare occasion when the golfer (me, in this case) acts like a complete buffoon and rolls his cart down a steep hill with a tree or two in the way to topple the cart, the bag remains securely resting upon the cart at all times, without any worries, no need for bungees or straps.
Micro Cart Clips
Sun Mountain chose to use these little clips to hold the bag on, and they work just fine.
On the course, the Micro Cart was a joy to use. On fairways and shorter rough, the foam tires rolled quite smoothly. Foam wheels don’t always feel better than their inflated brethren on cart paths or in taller rough, but I’ll take foam wheels for their simplicity and their decreased impact on the grass, particularly in moist conditions.
Sun Mountain’s claims about the lack of a need for tracking adjustments seemed correct in my testing: the cart would veer slightly with slopes, but that’s simple physics. On even terrain, the cart went straighter than Moe Norman’s golf shots. Furthermore, the advantages the fourth wheel offers in navigating side slopes was an unexpected bonus. The extra four inches or so of lateral stability comes in handy several times around Lake View and lots ofl other golf courses.
Micro Cart Handle Height
The Two handle positions available: about 34″ and 42″ if my measurements are accurate.
Like other Sun Mountain carts, the Micro Cart uses a lever brake near the handles. Unlike the Speed E Cart’s tension-based brake, the Micro Cart employs a pin brake: a metallic pin pierces a disc on the left rear wheel to prevent movement. The Micro Cart’s method works better.
The handle adjusts to two heights, and they vary by about eight inches: 34″ and 42″ from the ground. My only complaint with the Micro Cart involves the handle. Not only did I find myself wishing for a position in between – one feels too high and the other too low – but I also found that the handles would often “slip” when I pushed down on the handlebars to lift the front wheels of the cart to jump a curb or something. I learned to be a bit more careful and to apply a bit more pressure backwards rather than down to avoid “slipping” the handles, but it doesn’t seem like something I should have to worry about. I suppose there was no room for Sun Mountain’s typical fine-grained teethed handle locking mechanism.
Micro Cart Brake
The brake: a pin slides through the many holes on the left rear wheel to lock the cart in place.
The console is a nice touch that contains just about everything you’d need: spaces for tees, your pencil, a spare ball, and a magnetic clip to hold your scorecard. Beneath, plenty of room for your wallet, a spare pair of sunglasses (in a soft pouch), your car keys, etc. The cup holder will fit a 12 oz. can and smaller plastic bottles, but if you carry a 32 oz. Gatorade, you’re out of luck, just as you would be in a full-on golf cart.
Durability of the cart was perfect, and I can attest to the fact that the weight savings found in the Micro Cart are indeed a plus: not just for getting the cart out of the trunk of a car, but down from a hanger on the wall or even just moving it about while cleaning the garage.
Micro Cart Console
Finally, two things I never found myself using, but which are nice. The Micro Cart comes with their standard umbrella holder. It’s a tube, it’s stored beneath the handles, and it threads into a screw on the center of the handles to keep your clubs and you, when you’re pushing the cart, dry. Second, the very adjustable front wheels. You can slide each wheel out a few inches to widen the space, but I put an Ogio cart bag on it and still had plenty of room to spare in the “narrow” setting, so I’m not sure how many people have bags so large they’ll need this, though the option is there if you do.
Conclusion
Though I’ve never taken the Clicgear cart around 18 holes, I can’t imagine it could perform any better than the Micro Cart from Sun Mountain. The Micro Cart folds up to the same small size, weighs five pounds less, comes with all the same features, and a fourth wheel which eliminates tracking adjustments and improves stability.
Clicgear 3 Push Cart – An Excellent Alternative Cart
September 2, 2010 by articles
Filed under Golf-For-Beginners
Clicgear is a renowned name in the world of golf. Their push carts and accessories are par excellence and a favorite amongst several golf enthusiasts. Clicgear 3.0 push cart is synonymous with this sport. Clicgear’s push cart designs are original and very compact and have three wheels. Interestingly, they can also be folded to an unbelievably smaller form and can fit into any corner or enclosure with ease. The dimensions of the push carts are 13” * 15” and 24”. The 3.0 version of the push cart was improved in the year 2010 and carries several improvements over the earlier versions.
One of the striking features is the much improved folding system that makes it much simpler to use. The frame of the cart is made of powder coated aluminum tubing that is aircraft grade. The metal powder coating makes the frame scratch proof. The wheels (large EVA or rubber tires) are new and so is the tire design making it very reliable and durable. It comes with an umbrella holder and plenty of other accessories like the storage hanger, sand bottle, umbrella adjust, wheel cover and the foot brush. It was originally introduced in a bright kiwi color and is now offered in eight different colors which include red, orange, black, blue, white, silver and lavender.
This model has quite a rugged look with frame tubes that are thick, beefy handle bar and wide treaded tires. It is very light weight and so easy to handle. It rolls smoothly on hard packed grass or ground but there is a slight challenge on muddy ground, thick, rough or wet grass because of wider tires and hence offers more resistance. The wheel bearings are distinct and hence not prone to damage (due to poor alignment). The handle bar has soft foam like covering which is quite comfortable. The adjustments to the bar can be done both in height and the angle it typically sits at. Hence it can accommodate any kind of user.
There is a magnetic compartment below the handle bar that can hold at least 2 golf balls and some simple refreshments. This compartment also has a slight elastic bungee cord above to place the scorecard and the cart also has an area for a 20 oz water bottle. Any push cart’s top functionality is the folding system and this cart satisfies this requisite. A bag can also be fastened to the cart with bungee straps that stretch and hold it firmly. Besides these specifics, there are a few value additions that make the Clicgear push cart a wonderful model for golfers.
The solid hand braking system keeps the cart in place and also works perfectly on steep or inclined slopes. If one is accustomed to a pull cart with automatic brakes, applying the hand brake in the case of a push cart is critical. At a normal retail price of $199, Clicgear golf cart is recommended for all walking golfers. The looks, features, functionality and performance along with thoughtful additions in this version are certainly laudable.

The Best Way To Improve Your Golf Game
September 2, 2010 by articles
Filed under Golf-For-Beginners
You actually might choose to become a tad mindful while searching for playing golf information on the web, and yes, this includes me. You simply never know how superb the knowledge is when you’re receiving it for at no cost.
Playing golf is tough, consequently it’s really a fairly safe guess that becoming really efficient at playing golf should take more than a little while in a chat room to master. However, while there’s no need to pay attention to me here are a few methods you can consider that will help you search through all the hoopla and muck and definitely boost your golf game.
There are {many details you have probably read about to improve your golf. Such as, improving golf swing, or fixing your golf grip but what we will be checking out is something so effortless as a way of improving short game.
1st, the way for you to get a whole bunch better at playing golf sooner than anything requires you to start off at the hole and work your way back to the tee. All of us wish to step-up to that first box and slam a 3 hundred yard drive down the middle, however the reality is that the drive even escapes Tiger on occasions.
Even pros solely hit approximately 60% of fairways, therefore even the best of greatest just hit absolutely straight off the tee a bit more bit more] than 50 % of time. Quit killing your self in order to hit monster drives and begin with putting.
A majority of your shots around the course are going to be putts, chips and pitches. The vast majority of your round is going to be made within one hundred yards from the green. So that it really doesn’t make sense to commit the huge majority of your perspiration and tears getting your driver tamed.
Only use your driver to get it within a reasonable distance of the green and then utilize your great short game to really score.
Even on your mid irons, there’s no giant advantage] to taking a complete swing. Your job within the greens is to get it on to the green as soon as you can then putt it in. If you possibly can hit a good 3 wood and get it to about a hundred and fifty yards out and then have a very nice seven or 8 iron on to the green you are looking at a birdie.
It is possible to par an awful lot of holes if you make very good, secure shots onto the green after which can putt out of your mind. Putting to begin with, anything else just sets up your putts.
So there it is, one golfing hint you may get out there and begin to use tomorrow and it has not a thing to do with the perfect swing. It’s not necessary to actually have a great swing to play fairly close to par golf. All you need to accomplish is get proficient at the short game, where the swing isn’t really so difficult to master, and you may decrease your scores quickly pretty much overnight.
Why Use Golf Course Rankings
September 1, 2010 by articles
Filed under Golf-For-Beginners
As any eager golfer can tell you, the game is first about mastering your methodology and secondly about getting a grip on different courses ; explaining why info regarding golf course rankings is so crucial.
Going golfing is not a stroll in the park, and courses are not only 9 or Eighteen holes with various sand and water traps. Because the goal of the game is to make each of the holes with the fewest strokes possible each course is designed with a strategy intended to challenge each player. The amount of holes is mostly the sole consideration that individual courses will have in common with one another. Using rankings that are assembled to compare the different courses may give the player an indicator of the difficulty that a particular course may pose.
The ranking is figured by guesstimating the average number of strokes that it can take for a scratch golfer to complete each hole. A scratch golfer is one who shoots even par or better each successive play ; generally an individual who has a nil handicap. The reason for golf course rankings is to help players in deciding is a particular course is acceptable for their golf capability.
There are some failings in the ranking system, however. As courses got more and more challenging, scores by bogey golfers increased at a higher rate than the scores made by scratch players. It was to fix this issue that the Bogey Rating was formulated ; a technique of assessing a course according to the capabilities of a less than scratch golfer. This was important since the game of golf, unlike plenty of other sports, uses a handicap system to level the playing field between golfers of varying abilities. Slope is a method of adjusting a player’s handicap to a particular course. The ranking numbers of slope ratings proved to be useful in figuring handicaps in beginner play by determining how many handicap strokes may be given to those who needed them. The more challenging a course could be, the higher the slope.
Classic numbers for course ratings range between 67 and Seventy five, while slope ratings change between Fifty five and 155. It is understandable that bogey golfers would wish to pit their abilities against those of a scratch golfer, so the info provided by golf course rankings gives them the goal for which they must shoot. While many may never achieve the aspiration of being a scratch golfer, playing on courses that challenge their abilities can give them the chance of perfecting their techniques.

What Are The Simple Golf Swing Fundamentals?
September 1, 2010 by articles
Filed under Golf-For-Beginners
Golf is a game that is always challenging because there are always new things to learn and new ways to improve your game.There are certain golf fundamentals which are basic and which every golfer should be aware of.These are grip, posture, pivot, alignment, and the golf mental side.Each is critical in its own way and should be focused on separately.
For this one of the most critical golf swing fundamentals, the best place to get started is to learn how to distribute your body weight.If you are not sure on how to hold the club then the whole shot is going to be off.There are a few different grip styles that you could choose to use, and everyone has their own preference and finds out what works for them.Just make sure that you are aware of what your lead hand is because this is the hand that you want to be focusing on when you are gripping the club and the interlocking grip is the most commonly used and for this you have the pinky of your right or lead hand interlocked with the index finger on your left.
If you want to be able to cover the golf swing fundamentals and in this case posture, another helpful tip is to let your arms hang naturally down.The way that you are standing when you hit the ball is going to have a huge impact on how the ball is hit.You have to keep good posture if you want proper pivot and there are different drills that you can do which will help with this.Then for the golf swing fundamentals there is alignment and one great tip to help here is to pick out a target and then stop to see where you are aimed and you will be able to tell if you are aligned properly or not.
Also included in the basic golf swing fundamentals is the mental side of things.You can have all of the positive golf swing fundamentals down but if your mind is not in the game then you are going to do it poorly.The tough part is learning how to remember all of the skills but then not think about it too much when you are playing.Do some posture checks throughout the game and make sure that you have proper posture at all times so that you can have the best game.

Golf – Ladies Golf Fashion – What To Wear On The Fairways
September 1, 2010 by articles
Filed under Golf-For-Beginners
Are you just beginning to get into the habit of playing golf? Do you see other lady golfers playing and wonder what you should wear when playing golf? Let’s face it! Golf is a fashionable sport. And every time you get on that fairway is another chance to show off by wearing the latest and trendiest in ladies golf fashion.
Whenever I have heard of any Tour player employ the services of a sports psychologist, that golfer is usually someone who is desperate to find the answers as to why they can’t win more golf tournaments. In my view, the answer to that question is simple: they are not mentally tough enough because they don’t have enough confidence in their own abilities.
Confidence in your abilities is the biggest key to being able to perform under pressure. However, confidence does not just appear in your game over night. Confidence only appears after a lot of hard work on your game, and from playing a lot of golf!
I just viewed a video of Lee Trevino. He said “….you won’t learn much from me…I never had a mental approach. I got my confidence from hard work.”
Trevino worked hard on his game, but that is not all. I’ve read stories of him before his days on the Tour showing up for a match with no money in his pocket and making lots of bets. You want to talk about pressure! Well, that is how you simulate the pressure of a golf tournament. You have to repeatedly put yourself in the position where something is on the line when you stand up to the tee on the 18th hole, or you are faced with that all important 6 foot putt. If you never do that with yourself, you will never learn how to deal with the pressure that just comes from playing in the 3rd flight in your club championship!
I find it very interesting that you find very few, if any, books written about the mental game by any top player. Sure, there are books that SPECULATE about how Tiger Woods’ developed his mental toughness, but he has never written about the topic himself. The same may be said about Jack Nicklaus who is arguably Tiger’s equal in terms of mental toughness.
On the other hand, there are huge numbers of books written about the golf swing, putting or short game. The fact is, none of these players worry about the mental game. Instead, they focus on executing their swing as best they can, not on some mental tip that suddenly transforms them into a totally relaxed player!
Hunter Mahan shocked critiques when he went to tours with this material. And amazingly, he proved his point. Compared to yesterday’s icons, today’s golfers swing to 300 yards at average.
Though body fit, Under Armour Golf is surprisingly breathable. It has incorporated a stretch moisture management and UPF protection when under the sun. And of course it’s wrinkle free.
A few weeks later in our club championship, I shot rounds of 74-68 to finish in a tie for first, and lost in a playoff. Now, I knew how to play a great round under pressure to have a chance at winning.
So, you see, gaining this confidence is not something that happens over night. You can learn all the mental tips you want, but if you have a flawed golf swing and no confidence in the ability of that swing to hold up under pressure, you simply won’t perform.
If you really want to improve your scores, improve your golf swing and work hard on your putting and short game. Also, play as often as possible, and play with a little something on the line! That is how you will learn to lower your scores!
