Golf Festival & Sport News

It seems so easy but it is perhaps the greatest of efforts to raise 90% of golfers.

I think there are a lot of mental in all of this and of course some physical elements influencing directly or indirectly to fulfill such purpose.

The first thing I remembered taught my teacher, which unfortunately was much better to other links (the beloved Alfredito Das Neves) is known to recognize yourself.

What did he mean exactly by this? Simple: one must know that it has limitations. Limitations that go through the daily duties, the economic, the individual, family, finally, a few that keep us from including playing golf or practicing four times a week, with which we must settle for “getting” a Saturday or perhaps a Sunday to play one or two games a week and make a huge effort to achieve focus and forget the everyday world.

If any of us, with these features, thought at one point that Tiger Woods would look like or would have the consistency, regularity and expertise of Mr. Roberto De Vicenzo, playing only one or two times a week, it was only a wonderful dream … Read the rest of this entry »

Golf is a sport that is practiced in the open air along a path defined in length and width. The path is divided into 18 parts each of which is called “hole“, a path is therefore made of 18 holes (but there are also areas with 9 holes) of different length and width, all together form the standard path of the field golf.

The aim of the game is run, hitting him with the tools that call themselves “irons”, “timber”, “putter” (depending on their characteristics and therefore their use) and that in common parlance are called sticks, a ball along the way Grassy characterized by several difficulties or obstacles until the ball is not pushed into the hole that is at the end of the pit.

The holes should be completed, depending on the length, number of shots that can be assigned to them by 3, 4 or 5 strokes. The expected number of strokes is called “par” then we hole par 3, par 4 or par 5. The sum of the various par-par will give the field (ie the sum of the 18 holes), normally placed between 69 and 72.

Before you start hitting golf balls, we must understand the working demo made by each club.

The regulation allows us to relocate in our bag to a maximum of 14 clubs, but a player who is starting not need so many.
The driver is the club (especially a wood) longer and powerful, and lgica, the most dicult to use, so it is not advisable to use it until you have mastered your tcnico well. Many players have two more wood in his bag, (the 3 and 5), being easier to use for long shots.

The woods are used to achieve distance with the ball. Its primary use is to leave the tees (the outputs of each hole of the field). Though his name continues to be maintained as lumber, now gives no longer manufactured with this material. If it remains like the shape of the ancient timbers. The irons are available from 1 to 9, and various wedges, but more often it is included in the bag from the 3-iron through 9, pitching wedge and sand wedge.

At first, the irons 1, 2, 3 and 4 will have the most dicult to use. The 5 iron is considered an a long iron, which can enable us to do shots of 150 meters. Irons, 6, 7 and 8 irons are considered media and allow us to distances of about 140, 130 and 120 meters respectively. Finally, allow us to make 9-iron shots about 110 meters.

You’ll notice that one club to another there is a difference of 10 meters. There will be players of a nature to spank the ball longer and others shorter do. It is that each go to the practice field and see which is the distance achieved with each suit, for as, when est on the golf course, know qu stick choose at any given time. It’s fine if you hit with 7-iron is 110 meters. What is important is to always be 110 meters. If so, with the 5 iron will do 130 meters, with 6 will make 120, with 8 will make 100 and with 9 you will do 90 meters. Thus, knowing you will continue to abide qu on the golf course.

Some years ago, golf was primarily a game for adults. The child has no place in the golf course, except to attend the flag or make caddies.

The situation today is very different. Parents begin to point their children in classes when they are between 3 and 4 years of age, although the ideal age is 6 years; as below them have limited attention and muscle development. We can find games for junior clubs from three years.

The main thing is not to force the children away to enter the game. It’s much better to start dicindoles who come with their parents to the field of practice. The child are great imitators, and what they like to imitate adults. As practice swing in front of them, immediately begin to create a mental picture of it.

We must have the view of a teacher to enter them in the game and  tell us we must practice with them.

But always the main concept is to create a pleasant environment when giving balls. We must make it easy, without exercising any detail technic. It should be fun. Prstales all your atenciny applauds their achievements. And if you want to do some rarities like hitting two balls at once.

If you see child is ready to understand simple things like take the stick, foot set, etc …. Do not try to go into detail technicians, and entrate the appropriate time to join a workshop.

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.
