The rain doubles the difficulties of the game, so it is essential that this element makes an appearance when we know to remain calm and seek to play with the utmost courage and caring, thinking each of the steps we are going to do.

With rain strategy game takes the title role, as well as the capacity for mentalization by the player. Patience and method are words that take center stage on rainy days. STREET puddled The best advice we can give is to tell try not to hit too, try to simplify your swing. Under these conditions, an amplitude of about three quarters on the rise will be more than enough. It is essential to avoid hitting behind the ball: if the head of the stick in the mud penetrates too (which will be softened by water), the blow will not be adequate and the ball will end up falling short and deviated from the target. The most important is to try to get the ball clean, for it put it well out of the left foot.

And very important, try to make single hits, no further complicate a situation already difficult. GREEN WET If the green is wet, the ball will slide through the grass will be softened by water. Note that when the wet green is slower than the dry, allowing us to make more risky or hits harder.

Consequently, if the soil level (and almost never is), the putts will deviate less. TIPS TO CONSIDER BEFORE LEAVING THE FIELD – Check the soles of his shoes and the state of your nails. Do not ever take the field if they are worn, as it is a serious risk of slipping and they do not ever be found to make sure the blow. Remember that a firm position of the feet is the start to play good golf. – When you see appear the first drops of rain, wear waterproof pants and jackets. If we expect to get wet for nothing then we will cover us, and note that the water falling on our face or neck, it is never comfortable. – Remember to take spare gloves, with the other pair to be replaced when too wet. – Take a good towel with which to dry the grip.

Prepare your body
Many believe that to play golf you only need to buy the club and have a good “swing”. But the issue is not that simple, because you also need to have a good physical condition, strength and flexibility to hit hard and go all the field. If you’re not well prepared physically, you may tire quickly or even badly hurt with a given movement.
Before reaching the tee output (starting point), consider the following:

Heats . As with any sport, you need to warm up your muscles before you start. Every time you swing to hit a ball, you’re moving the muscles of your hands, wrists, arms, back, shoulders, waist, abdomen and legs … almost all your body! Start with a bit of cardio (walking or jogging) and then do stretches to keep your muscles hurt and you have more flexibility in your swing.

Exercise. Exercise regularly to keep your body in good condition and stamina to go 18 holes without breaking down. Aerobic exercises like walking, jogging, swimming, skating or bicycling, are ideal.
