As the commandments taught in the catechism, the etiquette of golf when the ball is short street not two, but three: hold harmless the integrity of the golfers, the state of the field caring for the enjoyment of all and maintain a proper pace of play. We went on.

1 – Looking for the ball: The first objective, and be among amateur golfers is to find our ball. Suppose we have followed either the fall, we took some benchmark-a tree, post …- but still the little white ball does not appear. Although legal, it is quite elegant exhausting five minutes if we are delaying our partners. If we do, and if there is any departure from behind, the right would give way.

2 – Turn Based: As you know all professionals and should know the fans, the player who is farthest from the hole is the first hit. Thus, the ideal is to be fully prepared to strike when our turn.

3 – Place or place: Leaving aside the rules of how, when, where and why they can lift and place the ball in terms of the label must rely on common sense. If the ball is fairly playable and we are not in contention for the Open with Phil Mickelson, playing without a mark of respect would be appropriate at the time of departure.

Golf is a deceptively simple sport that requires no further instructions for its practice. Maybe in the beginning everything is going well, but over time poor posture can generarte muscle pain and even injury. To avoid these disadvantages the Pilates method helps to prevent and correct mistakes .

Most postural defects occur in the spine (mid and lower back), elbow, wrist or hip. The amount of repetitive movements in an uncomfortable position is the source of back pain and hypomobility (decreased joint mobility).

If pain occurs in areas referred to consider taking pilates classes to relieve the discomfort and continue your favorite sport. With Pilates you will gain greater strength in the affected areas while stretching will relax the thoracic spine.

Remember that golf is a sport that requires guidance from the outset, therefore need to be educated on the basics of this sport and have the advice of a professional who can correct mistakes made ​​during practice.

The golfer is exposed to greater risk of low back pain due to repeated flexion and extension of the spine, especially in rotation, so the growing fondness for the sport has also resulted in an increase of this disease, said today. La Foundation LBP is more due to functional factors such as bad habits or, on the other hand, the inadequacy of the abdominal and back muscles, which causes organic. This is the case of golfers, as the sport’s own characteristic require the of positions and carrying out sudden movements, which are risk factors for developing low back pain.

According to the Kovacs Foundation, these data call particular attention to the sharp increase of golfers over the past 10 years, whose number has increased by 60 percent. Specifically, the number of people registered in 1990 was 68,000 compared to the current 166,000, twice as many men than women.

Dr. Mario Gest, director of the Kovacs Foundation, says some of the risks faced by golfers. On the one hand, the tilt and twist your spine when you hit the ball, which in turn intensifies the person with a lack of technique. On the other, vibnraciones teas produced by the bat hitting the ball, he says, can damage the spine. Read the rest of this entry »

The caddy is the person carrying the bag of clubs to players. There are many who give great importance. There is even some caddy dependent, which simply could not play without his caddy on the side. Others argue that the caddy is relatively unimportant, since gambling is the player who hits the ball is the player and ultimately the decision maker is also the player.

Watching the professionals I’ve noticed that a good caddy provides much in the game. Especially if it also is a good player. In this case the chances are very enlarged and shock-person view of the player is multiplied by 2. If that person meets further conditions psychologist and muscle relaxant when things do not go easy, the result can be very good.

Almost invisible
Another characteristic of a good caddy is to be rendered practically invisible to other players, so as not to interfere with or disturb others.

There are players who have a lot of dialogue with caddies like Phil Mickelson, for example, has for many years with his caddy and every shot and club selection is to talk carefully. Other players ask their caddies only when they have doubts. Tiger Woods, generally makes its own decisions and on the green I’ve rarely seen a drop consult with Steve Williams, his caddy. And others will only speak to the caddy to say hello and goodbye. You see, each player has his own style and each style is fine as long as the player is comfortable.

What is clear is that for carrying clubs must have not only physical strength but also infinite patience. There is nothing more than changing the mood of the golfers.

Are all golf holes the same size? Probably all answer affirmatively, but it is not.

Several studies show that the imagination has a direct effect on our perception of the world. Researchers at Purdue University and Virginia are added to this idea saying that the best golfers tend to see the holes larger than they really are.

This assertion is based on a study of 46 golfers who were asked to estimate the size of the holes after playing a round of golf.

The diameter of the hole is 10.8 centimeters. However, the players dealt with a size between 9 and 13 centimeters. Interestingly, those who “saw” the holes of a larger size were the best players.

Of course, I imagine you guys are the same question arises which I: can then vary the perception of athletes for performance? It seems that only the practice produces this effect.

One thing I can assure you, for me that I am passionate about golf but little skilled player, the holes become extremely small.

Researchers know that a relationship exists between performance and perception but they can not determine the exact cause-effect relationships. The main questions to figure out would be: do the golfers are big holes and thus play better? or perhaps do they play better so they tend to perceive the larger holes? Scientists assert that the mere thought of a better performance does not change the perception, you need to play better. Particularly I think it is a relationship that is determined in both directions while insurance subsequent studies shed new light on this issue.

These variations in perception of the more experienced players have also been observed in softball players. In 2005 a study conducted at the University of Virginia found a correlation between batting averages and the perceived size of softball. In this case the researchers say that the basic process is much more than just a perceptual change.

In short, all that is known very clearly is that our perception of the targets varies in relation to our abilities and our actual performance, the underlying mechanisms remain to be clarified.

Golfers are in luck because Green Cantabria, golf Fair, returns this year with Santander. This will be its second edition and it seems that, despite the success it achieved the first edition, it will be much better, so do not be missed Mood Escape to four days!

And the next question might be and why Santander? The answer is quite simple: Cantabria is a community dedicated to golf, as it has the largest number of courses per capita federal as well as a large number and variety of facilities suitable for this sport and a lot of clubs and schools . And if this were not enough, remember that some of the most important golf players out of here, as is the case of Severiano Ballesteros and Ramon Sota. Read the rest of this entry »

For many golfers, it is now in the spring with the pre-season about laying the foundation for the improvement in the new season. The learning process for beginners is versatile. Corresponding to the difficult beginning, when courses are conducted in larger groups. The learning efficiency decreases. Extend the individual circumstances, which brings with it a golfer, the learning path of beginners if they can not be individually addressed.

Are in my golf lessons with the advanced, golfers say their movement has run autonomously but in the mean learning curve, it is now mainly a question of eradicating the blunder in the movement and create a sound psychological basis. A golfer can learn these “inner” skills over time, or I will shortly from the learning path through effective exercises.

The perfecting of the inner image of the various golf techniques, controlling unwanted muscular tension, improving the coordination of movement and preparing the first real competitions are individual issues that are built into lessons for advanced students. Read the rest of this entry »

Any player knows that the role of golf balls in his works. No matter how good a golfer, if he is without golf balls then his skills have no value. Each player knows these facts. This is why golf balls have become the primary commodities among golfers.

There is no general way to determine that a golf ball is best for individual players. This factor is almost entirely dependent on the preferences of the golfer himself, he can do with the ball and how much they allow their pockets.

For some, a single brand of golf ball says it all. They adhere to them by the time you want and more never play if not playing with her brand of golf balls. Some people may call this madness, but this is an individual preference.

While a number of golfers can practice this is not entirely appropriate to adopt the same attitude towards golf balls. The ideal way of choosing balls is to use common sense, especially for beginning golfers.

A beginning golfer must not take into account what other people have to say about the golf ball brands, may be positive or negative. It should be noted that the origin balls for beginners is natural and that means no need to even approach the quality or brand. What you need is the value of low cost supply of golf balls.

The best option for beginners is to buy golf balls sold in bulk, about 50 balls or less in a single business. These normally are balls that have been collected from the green and have been “recycling”. What’s good with these balls is that they are commonly branded (but that does not really matter) and there to mourn for the loss of any of these balls. On average, lose a golf ball is about one hundred percent for most beginners through practice sessions at once. Read the rest of this entry »
