Professional golfers and low handicap swing plane considered one of the most important concepts in golf. Swing plane directly relates to how right, high and far you can hit the ball. At the same time, the swing plane is one of the most intimidating terms for high handicap golfers, simply because they are unsure which is a swing plane, and are not sure what it looks like a good swing plane.

To view a map perfect swing, imagine a dotted line drawn from the ball along the shaft of the club past the grip. This is the line of the plane of swing. As you start running the swing, the club should remain in the same plane as the angle of the imaginary dotted line until the rod is parallel to the ground, or about one quarter of the backswing.

From here, the stick can move slightly above the dotted line while the swing was capped by the action of the arms. This should be natural.

The natural change of direction from backswing to the downswing should drop the suit again on the dotted line so the clubface approaches the ball on the same plane as when we stood in front of the ball. Through impact, the rotation of your forearms kept the club well placed on the line to the end. As you can see, a perfect plane swing has a few up and down, but get used to a consistent level will help maintain a balance and allow to swing aggressively.

Plans Fail The high handicaps due to poor swing mechanics or his misconception about the swing plane, they start rolling their swings at the time of beginning, which immediately puts the club under the swing plane and the dotted line. From this position, the player can only raise the stick to finish the backswing and then going over the top, or above the swing plane during the downswing.

The description of behavior that should keep players of golf and all the recommendations on the label or courtesy in the practice of this sport are only a small part of all the rules. Its brevity and simplicity should not, however, be interpreted as evidence of the slightest importance of these rules by remaining in regulation. The traditional inclusion of the label on the front pages and Section I of the Rules of Golf, denote precisely the opposite, constituting a simple order of precedence, a warning to the player who starts to read or study. It is true that, unlike the majority of offenses in the game, its failure is not liable to penalty, but on the other hand, it is limited or conditioned the authority of a Federation or the Competition Committee, in its prerogative to eventual establishment of penalties, albeit on a temporary basis, for those players who manifestly and systematically ignore and disregard these basic rules of politeness whose objective is to seek to make the most enjoyable and easy game for the all persons using the same premises.

The Royal Spanish Golf Federation is aware that the continued expansion of our sport, with the consequent greater profusion of players and spectators in our fields, are becoming more urgent and necessary, the exact fulfillment of the rules of courtesy, and therefore promotes disclosure and perfect knowledge. We understand that a better understanding of the rules of courtesy can better promote its implementation that the establishment of local rules regarding penalties, since a player usually neglected, but not be penalized in its result, will feel the appreciation of their unfavorable playmates on their behavior, creating an adverse environment in the group to himself and behavior. All recommendations contained in the Rules of Etiquette, refer to the performance in four main areas: Read the rest of this entry »

We present the rules of golf, rules of golf. These rules are drafted by the Committee of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.
We help you to clarify all these doubts about the rules of golf originate along our parties and that it is sometimes difficult to know the right decision about the rules of golf.

Throughout these pages you will see some decisions about the different rules of golf are editing, clarifications on unclear or decisions can sometimes be curious and even decisions that in principle could be considered against their own rules of golf .
The rules of golf are the eternal unknown to most golfers. In most cases this ignorance of the rules of golf is derived from their complexity and the interrelated over a given time may be different rules of golf with others.

Our objective is to bring the rules of golf fans, so the golf rule book no longer the eternal now is unknown.

How do you play?
The rules of golf usually consist of a tour, during which the ball has to be entered on all the holes, which are numbered serially. In fields with 9 holes, there are two laps.

To get to complete a minimum number of shots spread the course of 9 or 18 holes (each hole is a point of arrival time), among which must circulate the ball, you need an excellent glance and a mastery of technique finish of the shots.

The victory will smile to the player or pair of players who will have used fewer strokes to comply with all mandatory stations represented by as many holes.

Basic golf rules
Win the hole the player to get him the ball in fewer strokes, tying the hole with the other player if they do both at the same number.
During the execution of the shot, the player must be careful to let the wrist elastic and flexible, not rigid, and seek to balance the body’s weight so that it is possible to give the ball hit the precise speed and the necessary power.

Rules of Golf
You can play golf so that it is won by the player who makes the return or returns with the least number of strokes (set of hits), or whoever wins the most holes (set of holes). This second form is usually played between two sides which may be each formed by a single player (single), two players against two others (foursome), a player against two others (threesome), with each side playing one ball.

They can also play several players at once, each with his ball, either independently, each player against each other (match three balls) or a player against the better ball of two or more (out of the best ball) or two players playing their best ball against the better ball of two other (party of four balls).

Extravagance
The Golf is a quiet, restful, can be practiced by the elderly if they are walkers and are in full fitness. It is also said that this sport has a certain touch of class and some snobbery.

Proof of this is an artificial island, land and lawns in the middle of a lake on 104 blocks of polystyrene, where golfers can achieve a more whimsical hole. It lacks detail for a perfect hole: it has its Arriete, its 6 trees, two bunkers and green.

What’s more, it has a pier where a small ferry docks is responsible for transporting the players. To further complicate the play, the hole float, number 14, is adrift and moves smoothly.

In what is certain is that if you already golf is a challenge to the aim, the pit lake takes the cake, a little sound, and … hit the water.

The number of golfers continues to grow, whether in Spain the figure exceeds the 340,000 federal athletes, Canary ranks tenth with 9,500 national ranking and the province of Las Palmas, are already more than 5,600 who are licensed federation.

Proof of this is the quote that gives this weekend, including Saturday in the southern fields, as if in the Pitch and Putt Anfi Tauro Jorge Montero was the protagonist last Sunday being the first scratch, tomorrow more than 450 amateurs compete in tests of the different fields of San Bartolome and Mogan.

In the area of ​​Anfi Tauro Golf, at 9.00 am, the competitors will “throw” at 9.00 for-individual-stableford play.

Of course, magnets and Far Infra Red! Much has been written about magnetic therapy for golfers. Many members of the PGA is used. The first would be a magnetic template ‘equilateral’ that covers the entire foot, combined with Far Infra Red technology.
Maybe you know some of the Infra Red Far. What exactly? Solar technology is space age. It is a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between. The sun is the principal source of radiant energy that we experience daily.

The infrared segment of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into three segments of wavelength, measured in microns (μn). This band of light is not visible to the naked eye but can be seen with special cameras. However, we feel this kind of light on what we perceive as heat. The earth, when heated, radiates infrared rays in the range of 7-14 microns with its maximum at 10 microns. Chinese researchers believe that therapeutic fringe is 2 to 25 microns. In hospitals are used to produce infrared panels to balance the body temperature of newborns.

It took a long time to get it, but finally the technology has found a way to produce this energy balancing and beneficial, combined with equilateral magnets in attractive jackets and lightweight and flexible bandages magnificent combine both technologies for different parts of the body . Help the body protect itself by creating balance, flexibility and heat, among other benefits.

Garmin this week announced the arrival in our country of its two golf-specific GPS , the Approach G3 and G5 Approach. These two products are compact, lightweight, water-resistant color touch screen that includes a huge database filled with detailed maps of thousands of golf courses in Europe.

The devices use a high-sensitivity GPS receiver to measure every shot and show the exact distances to the streets, obstacles and greens, and also become a useful tool for deciding the best approach in every situation.

The Approach G3 (279 euros) has a touch screen 2.6-inch TFT 160 x 240 pixel resolution, while the G5 (379 euros) is three inches and has a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. In both cases, are readable in direct sunlight and usable even with gloves.

In addition to the screen, another feature differentiates the G3 G5 Approach. The larger model is compatible with the software Stat Tracking , which allows analyzing the game and make statistics on various criteria.

Both models, which run on batteries, will be available in Spain from the end of April.

The eternal question that beginners often make when they finish the first course: ” How soon will I know play golf? ” . And my repeated response: “depends on several factors such as the ability of everyone in golf, goals, a willingness to work on your game and ability to learn and adapt to each player.”

Two simple tips are what I can make to avoid disappointment and fall into errors:
- Set yourself some goals in stages , ie days and hours you think you’re going to engage in practices, programs and tournaments on television you can see, the magazines pueds consult, etc. Never acanzar marques difficult goals because you can fall into neglect and abandon the golf individual move wrongly.
- settle down achievable goals, “easy” . Download of the 100 shots on a walk, play later in the 90′s, etc.
For those who really want to be great golfers, the most important factor to consider is the willingness to work hard to be better. The golf is learned through routine and repetition, which leads us to think that improve just have to practice, practice, practice.

Of course, to accelerate this process the best measure is to take lessons by a qualified teacher by the RFEG. My experience tells me that someone who never touched a golf club and after some classes, it is possible that in a few weeks (depending on the time you spend, skills, etc.) is playing around in the field.

Vegas comes to a ‘First Sunday’ on the PGA Tour.

“This is not over yet,” noted Woodland. “It will be another shooting. The conditions will be perfect again. The greens are impeccable. We’ll have to go with the hot putter and sign a card very low. ”

Woodland reflected a general sentiment. Today is a day of birdies, many birdies.
