Golf Diversions

Jo asked:


This is my first year playing golf and I don’t want to develop bad habits. I am a 25 handicap and I just learned how to pitch a ball although I can’t yet control it’s distance. Anyways, I can drive the ball 275 yards 6 times out of 18, so the potential is there at times. However, almost everyone I play w/ tells me that I am bending my left hand too much. Does anyone know of an aid or trick that can help me w/ this? Will lessons be useful or is it all mental? Thanks for your time and assistance!

I play golf and I play regularly. My handicap is 15 but off the tee box I almost always slice the ball almost 30 yards from where I intended. I take nice, smooth swings but I think it’s my setup.

I had a golf bag in my trunk and someone put a rigid 20-30 lb suitcase in the middle of the bag, and a 15-20lb bag on the heads. I drove around for a while on a rough road in heavy traffic, so lots of hard turns and potholes. It looks like the club shaft that was directly beneath the suitcase is slightly bent, but it’s hard to tell.

These are steel, regular flex shafts.

A 27 hole championship golf course closed in central wisconsin two years ago to build an aquaplex on top of it. The aquaplex fell through but the golf course remained closed. At the time of closing, they had the largest womens league in the state and a very busy public course. This course needs to be reopened!

Golf Instruction Video #1 of 3: You see golf pros often play fade and draw golf shots during tournaments to achieve a more desirable result with the golf ball. How do they do that? There are different philosophies of instruction and you’ll have to decide which one you like. I personally like the way Jack Nicklaus Teaches it. If you have a good golf swing and can hit the golf ball straight already, the easiest way to hit a fade or a draw is by simply opening the golf club face or closing the golf club face. This golf instruction video shows how to pick a target line, setup for a golf shot and then execute it correctly.
Consideration:
1: The more a club face is lofted, the less sidespin is applied. Very little sidespin is applied when opening the clubface of an 8 iron or higher for example. The ball just goes higher.
2: The less a clubface is lofted, the more sidespin is applied. Your driver has the leasts loft and the most ability to spin the ball sideways. When hitting a fade which requires opening the clubface, a 3 iron will apply more sidespin than an open clubface 7 iron.

I know if you hit a golf ball with a tennis racquet it will go really far, but does it go farther than you can hit it with a club?
I realize the golf club will be longer and make the swing faster probably, but I don’t think you lose any transfer of energy with raquet strings. I would guess you can hit a tennis ball farther with a racquet than a golf club.
