We have spoken of the modes of play in golf, as are many, we have divided, so today I present the second part of this issue. Other ways in the practice of estedeporteson:

Best and worst, a game mode, which involves four players is dealt two points at the end of each whole, one for the best and one among the better of the two balls worse.

Sum and better, also to four players, but this time the points are divided on the best result of the side, and the sum of the blows.

Skins, each hole has a certain amount of point, or sometimes money, winning who gets the lowest score. In case of tie, the sum is accumulated on the next hole until someone wins.

Presses, is a game mode where you can start the game again, if one side loses two down and decides to use this method, thus laapuestase doubles, compared to the original game.

Nassau, is played in three phases, dividiend 9 holes in one, 9 in another, and a third general called on the total of the round, before each match was arranged the details of the bet.

Slo badly need a hole to ruin a great lap, so, we explain some tips to help avoid these bad moves.

Bunker .- The bunker is taken from nico bruised right hand that takes the initiative on the left. Given our level it’s time to start adjusting our bunker tee shot to the flag.

To do this we must not forget the basic principles drawn from the bunker and it needs to apply “touch” to our beat. The key is to not hold the stick firmly with his left hand. De sta forma podemos usar más la mano derecha. As the stick will move faster and reach more open face. You get the ball to drop softly and roll less.

Controlling the distance .- The key to getting the correct distance is in the finish. Do not try to control the distance through force. We leave it to the finish that controls the distance. For putts we make a short finish for long shots and we make a complete finish.

Aproach .- Once it reaches a certain level, how to improve the card is controlling the short game.
-The shots are the key part.
-Slo is necessary to develop half swing, the hands are below the waist and a three-quarter swing the hands are just above the waist. To do less of that is really doing a chip and do more is the same as making a full swing.

Long irons .- One of the keys to gain confidence with the long irons is the speed of the clubhead.
The long irons are not right for everyone. Players who print speed with low clubhead will very dicult its utilization. If this is your case, do not hesitate, fairway woods (7, 9.11) will give better service.

The wood chip 3 .- Surely once the ball, a shot to the green, has rested on the limit of to-green and semi-rough street or in that escaln that form the different cuts of the grass. In this case, to make the putt or a chip with any iron is quite incmodo and imprecise, because the grass escaln prevents us from moving the stick and hit the ball naturally gentler.

Therefore, in these cases, you can use a different stick, such as timber 3 5. Although a priori we are not accustomed to using them for this purpose, you have probably seen that many professionals do, including Tiger Woods mismsimo.
You’ll be amazed at how easy it is this coup and the benefits as you practice one day. The technik is very simple.

Here is a series of practical tips you can apply to all levels.

If it rains .- The main thing is to feel comfortable home, so a wetsuit that makes us not froy mojemos and let’s not allow us to move freely, which in the case of the swing is essential.

The rest of the team will be: umbrella, hat, appropriate shoes and towel to dry out and dry empuaduras. Just in case, be good to carry spare gloves (and better if they are older if they are not) and keep the glove game between blows. And the bag will be good for a hood and a bag covers.

If lightning storm .- We have to move away from the sticks. It is better to leave them in the field and return to pick despus. Of course, our umbrellas will not be a good companion with a lightning storm. We must never take refuge under an isolated tree. We must not lie on the ground.

However, s is good lie in a bunker to be below ground level. Nor should we run or walk in open areas such as streets.
What we must do if we can not reach a building or a car is to take refuge in a leafy area with many trees or squat with the hands resting on knees.

Preparing for a tournament .- The former gives to think about how we want to play each hole. Above all we must be positive. He gives the competicin breakfast can not be a simple caf drinking. Moreover the CAFENICA not help us all to be calm. It is good to take cereal and fruit.

For travel almost certainly have seen some sales directory on TV a algn professional player scoff an apple in the middle of a turn. It is a good option to help restore your strength in the field. Before leaving more importantly have heated and done stretching practice. If prepared once we have enough time to practice using sticks mainly seen in the previous da homework that we will need in return.

We’re on the tee of 1. Now luck, and as a last tip for the tour: POSITIVE THINKING
