Golf equipment FAQs
How many golf balls should I keep in my bag?
The question we would like to ask you is “How long have you been golfing?” It is no coincidence that the number of balls you lose during a round decreases exponentially when compared to the amount of years you have played. If you have been golfing for a while, it is likely you already have a good idea about how many balls you might lose when playing. On the other hand, if you have to ask this question, let’s just say that having at least 10-20 balls in your bag at a time is probably a good idea.
My shots always seem to hook or slice. What should I do?
There are two ways to fix this problem. First of all, there is the quick fix. Secondly there is the permanent fix. The quick fix is quite simple. All you really need to do is reposition yourself to the left or to the right as you tee off. Even though you are facing the opposite direction and it may look like you are going to hit the ball the wrong way, your hook or slice will come in to play and the ball should end up somewhere on the fairway. The second solution to this problem is to simply get lessons. You can either take lessons from a golf pro or you can buy an instructional DVD that may help you recognize and remedy your mistakes.
I’d like to take up golf, but I’m not sure I can afford it. Any suggestions?
Even though it is very true that there are some courses that are very expensive and that there are some pieces of equipment and apparel that can set you back a pretty penny, this is not always necessarily true. If you don’t have a lot of money to spend you may want to look into playing on city-owned courses. Since these courses are often subsidized with tax dollars, residents usually get a good deal to play on them. Secondly, buying used clubs is not a bad idea at all. Clubs tend to have a pretty long life and even if you need to replace a club or two, this is still less expensive than buying a whole new set.
