Why Staying Balanced Is So Important In Your Golf Swing

Posted: under Golf Travel & Resorts.
Tags: , , , ,

Having a balanced golf swing is really a big key secret to hitting successful golf shots.

When you can swing naturally and smoothly, you’ll be able to maintain a balanced golf swing and become much more consistent.

When golfers hit bad shots, a lot of times they are off balance. Either they swung too hard, trying to kill the ball, or they tried to manipulate the golf club unnaturally in some way.

Here are some keys that can help you stay more balanced in your golf swing:

At the setup position, make sure your weight is on the balls of your feet. This is critical not only for staying in balance but also for swinging the club on the correct path. Having your weight too far forward on your toes or too far back on your heels will make your swing path get off track and the only way to hit a good shot will be to make compensations for it in your swing.

Good tempo is something all the touring professionals have.  A golfer who maintains proper tempo in their swing can really gain a tremendous amount of distance and accuracy.  It’s not about swinging as hard as you can to hit it far.  In fact, trying to swing too hard will almost always work against you.  If you lose your balance, that golf club is getting off path and you’ll suffer from inconsistency with your golf shots.

If you ever watch the pros on TV, they have a knack for making the golf swing look effortless. This is because their swing tempos are so smooth. No one is trying to kill the ball or swing 100% as hard as they possibly can. A lot of amateurs could benefit greatly by simply learning to slow their golf swings down a bit and consequently stay more balanced.

The percentage of hitting good shots goes way up when you don’t need to compensate and simply swing your golf club on the correct path in the backswing and the downswing.

Bags, Bags and More Bags – Which Golf Bag to Buy?

Posted: under Golf Travel & Resorts.
Tags: , ,

Golf bags are essential for carrying around all the things you need as you play golf. These would be your golf clubs, golf balls, tees, markers, towels and umbrellas.

Although they do not directly affect the result of your game, they could influence your attitude as you play, as golf bags offer you a lot of comfort and convenience as you go through the course.

Here are some types of golf bags.

1. Staff bags

Staff bags would be the largest kind of golf bags. A good staff bag would be made of leather or other durable and high quality materials and are usually a bit more expensive. They are able to contain all of your golf clubs, and still have a lot of pockets to hold other things and equipment that you wish to bring along as you go through the course.

Most professional golfers prefer to use the staff bag as they are able to hold the most equipment. They need not worry about lugging it around since they usually have their caddy to help them out with that.

2. Cart Bags

These bags are relatively smaller than staff bags but are bulkier and harder to carry around. Cart bags are designed to be transported in golf carts but have less pockets and less room for storage.

3. Carry Bags

These are the smallest of the golf bags, which are usually made from nylon, plastic or other light materials. They are constructed to contain the essentials like golf clubs, a couple of balls and small golf accessories. They are perfect for those golfers who prefer to carry their own bags.

When choosing the most suitable golf bag for you, you would need to consider the features that you need and your budget. It is not necessary to buy the most expensive bag available, as they do not directly affect the way you play, unlike your clubs, balls and golf shoes. You should carefully assess if the bag you are planning to buy has all the features that will suit your needs, while still being reasonably priced.

A memorable golf trip in china

Posted: under Golf Travel & Resorts.
Tags: , , ,

Kunming Spring City Golf Course is known as China’s most beautiful golf course and the best golf course in Asia. Last August, some of friends knew we would take a trip to Li Jiang for summer vacation and they highly recommend us go to Spring City golf course to enjoy the playing pleasure,so we added two days trip to Spring City golf course. And we really  found golf and travel can be the perfect combination.

There are 36 holes here, they are 18 mountain course  holes and 18 lake course  holes. Except for the amazing natural beauty such as mountains ,clear lake water, pine forest, the most pleasant is comfort temperature of about 20 degrees and tender green grass. Friends said when they played TaylorMade Burner SuperFast driver in a course with such a beautiful lawn,you can not bear to destroy the turf, therefore, scores increased by several shots. For us, in such a smooth and comfortable space to swing callaway ft-iz driver, feeling numerous challenges.The original handy Titleist titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select KOMBI Putter performed ineffectively and encountered daunting bunkers. Some bunkers are hanging ladder here, let you down, standing inside, as if in the valley, and can not see.

The green, must rely on imagination to play Callaway FT-iZ Fairway Woods.

Do not forget to go to Jade Dragon snow mountain golf course, the only one snow mountain golf course in asia, also one of the world’s highest golf course. There is also the world’s longest fairway that can test your distance and physical.

Most impresses me is there is the world’s highest golf course tee here with elevation of 3,200 meters. This tee blue, white ladder are shared. Because I choosed to played callaway ft-iz driver in white ladder and had to use this shared tables in this pool, did not expect third shot cut shot, all to the hole, I got a PAR.At the same time, what frustrated me is most of friends have mentioned due to the thin air then resistance is small, it is easy to hit a distance of more than 300 yards with my callaway ft-iz driver.

My distance is not perfect, I decide to practice basics more when I go back. 711 yards on the 5th fairway on snow-capped mountains golf course has been proved to be the world’s longest fairway. In order to play callaway ft-iz driver with confidence, the second on the snow-capped mountains to play, I choosed the red ladder.Anyway, under a blue sky to see the lake, reflected upside the snow-capped mountains, white clouds, wildflowers blossom happily, struggling in the snow-capped mountains before the swinging callaway ft-iz driver, feel the driving force of life, all this is so good!

Buying Great Golf Clubs Without Emptying Your Wallet

Posted: under Golf Travel & Resorts.
Tags: , , , , , ,

Golf clubs are some of the most expensive accessories to buy when it comes to sporting goods. However, there is no reason why they should be this way. Expensive golf clubs usually have more technology and more features, but for the average golfer it is a complete waste of money. It is possible to get clubs at a reasonable rate. The surprising thing is that most of the time these clubs will be even better for you than the more expensive ones. Read on to find out about some of the reasons why you should stick with cheaper clubs, as well as some of the places that you can buy them.

For a beginning golfer, the temptation to buy more expensive clubs comes from the illusion that they will improve the skill as if by magic. The truth is that an amazing golf club requires an amazing technique in order to make it work as desired. Expensive golf clubs are designed so that they are more efficient and less forgiving. With the slightest wrong move, you will throw the trajectory of the ball so far off track that your stroke will be laughable. If you stick with beginners golf clubs (as you should), the heads of the clubs will be much more forgiving and you will be able to practice your technique without completely embarrassing yourself in the process.

Secondhand clubs are also a good way to save money and still get some nice clubs. If you golf with people who like to stay on the cutting edge of technology, they are likely to have older clubs that are still of a very high quality level. Speak with them about purchasing the used golf clubs. With used golf clubs you need to be particularly careful, and look for anything that would compromise the quality of the clubs. Sometimes when used enough, even golf clubs will wear out and become nearly unusable. Before any money exchanges hands, take the clubs out for a test game. If you are a good friend with the person who you would like to buy from, they might even let you use the clubs for a longer period of time.

So where do you find older models of clubs, or used clubs? Auctions and pawn shops are two of the best places to go for golf clubs of this type. Golf clubs are almost a staple of auctions, and you are likely to have at least one choice. If you spend a lot of time at auctions, you will be able to have quite a few different choices for golf clubs. You will simply have to learn to recognize golf clubs and judge whether they are a worthy investment. The same goes with pawn shops. If you are able to recognize the features that you desire in a golf club, you will have endless opportunities to check for these in various venues. If you end up finding clubs that fit with what you are looking for, they will likely be much cheaper than if you had bought them at a retail store.

Cheap golf clubs are very possible to come by, but they are very risky at the same time. If you know enough about what you’re looking for, you can look at a golf club and immediately tell if it is something that is worth your time. But if you are inexperienced in buying golf clubs, you are not likely to have this knowledge. Therefore you need to carefully plan out all of the things that you are going to look for in your future golf clubs, and bring this list with you when you go to scout out for possibilities. This will help you in every way, allowing you to recognize what you need and weed out what you don’t. It may even help you to avoid wasting your money on something that isn’t exactly what you need.

Extreme Golf Accessories: Custom Golf Carts

Posted: under Golf Travel & Resorts.
Tags: , , , ,

There is no limit to the number of accessories that you can buy for golfing. You could spend thousands of dollars on small items that will hardly ever come in handy. However, you may not have had the idea of skipping all of those small accessories. Why not save your money for an extremely handy golf accessory that will continue to be useful throughout the whole game? A custom golf cart satisfies these requirements, and is arguably one of the best golf accessories that money can buy. It may not seem practical, but if you read on you will find out about the many ways that you can accomplish this, and how it can come in handy when you are hitting the golf course.

Golf carts are almost necessary for some of the bigger golf courses. If you are going to be hitting a huge golf course anytime soon, you will almost certainly need a golf cart in order to get from one course to the other while carrying all of your gear with you. You can rent golf carts from almost any golf course, but why rent when you can have your own for a cheaper rate in the long run? It is preferable because it allows you to buy a cart that has exactly what you want, and allows you to customize it in the future. The choices for custom golf carts far exceed those for the ones that you can rent, and you can get quite a luxurious setup going on.

The size of the golf cart can vary greatly. It is possible to buy one that is almost like an oversized go-kart. It will only hold you and your clubs, but it will be inexpensive and very efficient with gas. However, if you play golf socially then you will probably want to invest in a golf cart that seats 2 or even 4 people along with their gear. The power of the cart is also important. If the cart is fully loaded down and traveling along at a steady rate, will you immediately start to backslide when you start heading up a hill? This is very important to consider, especially with the hilly nature of golf courses. With most golf cart manufacturers you will not have much to worry about, especially if you stick with brands that are more well-known.

With your own golf cart, you can begin to make the ride more enjoyable, much the same way you would with a regular car. You can install a stereo system if you want to enjoy some tunes in between courses. If you are good with electronics like that, you could install a regular car stereo system in the golf cart without too much trouble. Just imagine being the only one on the golf course who is able to crank out music as loud as a rock concert. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it? You can deck out your golf cart with as many features as you could imagine, whether your goal is to make the ride more enjoyable, more efficient, or simply quicker. It can make a great ongoing project to add onto at later dates.

If you are interested in putting together a custom golf cart, you can either do it yourself if you are the engineering type, or you can contact a golf cart manufacturer. There are several companies that sell golf carts to individuals, and if you can get one as close as possible to what you want then it will be very possible to add features in the future. Make sure you are very clear on the cost and the methods of delivery when you begin to order your golf cart, so that you aren’t hit with any nasty surprise bills that you weren’t expecting. It’s definitely a big project to undertake, but if you have the time and money to do it then you will surely have a good time.

Customize the Way you Play With Customized Golf Clubs

Posted: under Golf Travel & Resorts.
Tags: , , , ,

Golf clubs greatly affect the way you play the game. If you want to make sure that you would be making that killer shot, customized golf clubs might be just what you need. Golf club customization would include fitting your clubs in three different lies, which would be standard, upright and flat to improve your game. Having golf clubs that are custom-made also lets you select the materials and the grip and also help you in setting your driving range so that you would be getting the most out of your clubs.

You would also be able to select the materials for the club heads and the shafts. This would give you the ability to choose the flexibility you need for your drive and your swing. However, it is important that you consider some things when you have your golf clubs customized. These would be if you play with your left or right hand, if you wear shoes that have flat soles, if you have your arms on your sides, what the distance between the floor and your wrist is, what the size of your gloves is and what your present handicap on an 18-hole green is.

Other questions that they would ask before customizing your clubs would be your accuracy, your driving distance, chipping and putting techniques and your recovery and ball hitting. Additionally, you would need to know how far your ball goes with your 5 iron; if you do any of these more often than the others: hook, straight, draw, fade, slice; what the make and flexibility of your current driver and shaft are; and the type of golf ball you are using.
