Play The Lie

    Golf  is such a diverse game and millions of artcicles have been written on the         subject.
    Ever since it was first played it has held a fascination for those foolish enough         to get caught up in the intrigue and mystries of this wretched game.
   
    And we will never stop simply because there is no such thing as a perfect round     and as long as we occasionally hit the near perfect shot we will continue to strive     for the holy grail of golf - whatever that may be.

We include the following articles for your enjoyment - not your  frustration!!

#1.  How To Get Backspin On Your Golf Balls - The 5 Things You Must Do.

In this article I am going to explain how to get backspin on your golf ball and the 5 things you must do in order to achieve this.

Knowing that the backspin imparted on your ball will either stop the ball very close to where it lands or spin it back towards the pin gives you the confidence to fire at or beyond the pin every time.

#2.   How To Stop Slicing A Golf Ball.

If you want to know how to stop slicing a golf ball you first need to understand why the golf ball slices or what causes it to slice.

I have heard so many incorrect explanations on how to stop slicing a golf ball that I could write a book entitled What Not to Do If You Want to Learn How to Stop Slicing a Golf Ball. I could use all the wrong tips I have heard over the years as the content for my book.       Read the full article.............

#3.  Hit Straight Drives.

A lot of golfers really battle to hit straight drives and getting off to a good start is such a confidence booster. There is nothing better than a good drive at the start of a round of golf. You will have a great day if you can hit straight drives off every tee.

The secret to straight driving is technique and confidence. If you have ever hit a straight drive then you can do it again. It's in there somewhere and all you have to do is find it and repeat it time and time again.

#4.  Get More Distance With Your Driver.

I am about to spoil some of the things you may believe about getting more distance with your driver. And then I am going to tell you how you can quite easily get more distance using your existing driver.

So many golfers think that by going out and spending $800 on the latest driver all their problems will be solved and that miraculously they will be able to hit the ball the proverbial mile - and straight to boot!

It's a fascinating fact that with the huge advancement in golf technology over the past 50 years the average club member's handicap has not improved by as much as even a half a stroke. These are facts borne out by statistics not some BS that I am making up to get you to give up the game of golf.  Read the full article..........

#5.  Compare Golf GPS Models.

Until fairly recently I did not know that one could even use a GPS to assist with playing golf. Once I found out though it became quite a task to compare the different golf GPS models.

Firstly let me say I think it is a brilliant idea for a number of reasons:

1. It definitely helps speed up play. I found this to be especially true when I was a bit off line and could not see the green for trees that were in my way. A GPS tells you exactly how far you have to fly the ball to get to the green.
2. It gave me complete confidence knowing exactly what distance I had left either to the green or to hazards which I needed to avoid.
3. I soon learned exactly how far I hit my clubs. This was quite a humbling experience at first because my male ego had to accept that I don't hit the ball as far as I thought I did.
4. A lot of negative thought was removed from my mind when I knew exactly how far I needed to carry a shot and also exactly which club (when hit normally) would carry my ball the required distance. I could concentrate on accuracy alone.
5. Even though I am often asked distances by the rest of the 4 ball I still have an advantage over them as they normally spend time comparing with the markers on the sprinkler heads - something I now totally ignore. If the advise is conflicting a little bit of doubt sets in and causes them to over orc under club.    Read the full article...........
