The Amazing Golf Ball

A golfer, playing a round by himself, is about to tee off, and a greasy little salesman runs up to him, and yells, “Wait! Before you tee off, I have something really amazing to show you! Useful golf equipment !”

The golfer, annoyed, says, “What is it?”

“It’s a special golf ball,” says the salesman. “You can never lose it!”

“Whattaya mean,” scoffs the golfer, “you can never lose it? What if you hit it into the water?”

“No problem,” says the salesman. “It floats, and it detects where the shore is, and spins towards it.”

“Well, what if you hit it into the woods?”

“Easy,” says the salesman. “It emits a beeping sound, and you can find it with your eyes closed.”

“Okay,” says the golfer, impressed. “But what if your round goes late and it gets dark?”

“No problem, sir, this golf ball glows in the dark! I’m telling you, you can never lose this golf ball!”

The golfer buys it at once. “Just one question,” he says to the salesman. “Where did you get it?”

“I found it.”

 

 

Golf Lesson distinguished by gender

A husband and wife love to golf together, but neither of them is playing as well as they want to, so they decide to take private lessons. The husband has his lesson first. After the pro sees his swing, he says, “No, no, no, You are gripping the cheap golf clubs way too hard!”

“Well, what should I do?” Asks the man.

“Hold the club gently,” the pro replies, “just like you’d hold your wife’s breast.”

The man takes the advice, takes a swing, and POW! He hits the ball 250 yards straight down the fairway. The next day the wife goes for her lesson. After the pro watches her swing, he says, “No, no, no, You’re gripping the club way too hard.”

“What can I do?” asks the wife.

“Hold the club gently, just like you’d hold your husband’s penis.”

The wife listens carefully to the pro’s advice, takes a swing, and THUMP. The ball goes straight down the fairway, about 35 feet.

“That was great,” the pro says, “Nice and gentle. Now take the club out of your mouth and swing it like you’re supposed to.”

Are you a golf newbie? Are you worrying about finding the perfect  golf clubs of your own? Well, just like in anything else, you have to get the feel of things before you find the best set you can use. As you can see, using just anything may affect your chances in excelling in golf. Regardless of the fact that it is a game that needs much practice, you should find ways to help yourself get better.

Usually, your best option is to buy second hand ones or cheap golf clubs. Investing good money on a new set which will not work for you is not worth it. Get the used one and do some practice swings. Here, you will see if the club is too heavy or too light. Soon, you will understand what you will need to make the perfect swing. When this happens, you can get your own set of clubs.

If you have already decided on purchasing clubs of your own, you should always remember one thing: you should think of how many times you plan to play. Although it may seem fun to order the best golf clubs which the best brand and an expensive price, you might not be able to use it regularly. This in turn seems to be a waste of money. Do not deprive yourself of quality, either. When buying a set, test it out with a few practice swings. A club should coincide with your height, arm length and grip. Good golf equipment can help you improve your golf skills, especially when you put your heart and soul to training. When you feel that you have greatly improved, congratulations! It means that you have the right set.

Meanwhile, you can get pre-owned golf clubs at any store. You can even order it online to get discounts on them. All in all, if you are really interested in engaging in the game, you should remember to try out different types of clubs first!

I hope all the newbie golfers can improve their skills greatly.

Alright newbie golfers, it’s time to learn a couple of things that some of your more experienced golfing friends might be afraid to discuss with you. We were all new to the game at some point, so this is going to be for your benefit. Keep in mind, I’m not laughing with you, I’m laughing at you…wait, flip that the other way around. With golf equipment, some are just lessons you’ll learn as you play more, but not knowing correct golf terminology makes you look like a real golfer. Let’s dive right in.

1.  I scored a 128 today – It’s not “I Scored”. You weren’t out trying to buy drugs. The correct way to say it is “I SHOT a 128 today, but I hit a bunch of 300 yard drives”….get this one right and you’ll up your Golf IQ a ton.

2.  Bunkers vs. Sand Traps – Even experienced golfers use the term “sand traps” to refer to the sandy pits of hell that take most of use 3-4 shots to extricate ourselves from, but the correct phrase is “bunkers”.  The term sand trap is not listed in the official rules of golf. Listen to the pros, they’ll always call it a bunker.

3.  Get some shoes – If you’re going to play on the big boy courses, please break down and get yourself a pair of golf shoes.  Not only will you notice a difference in your traction and balance, but you won’t look like someone who has no business being on a golf course.   You can choose cheap golf clubs. And if you need cheap shoes, I have an offer code you can use at Austad’s Golf to save 10% at checkout. Use Code 25253 at Austad’s Golf.

4.  It’s time to pick up – You’re still learning the game so you’re score doesn’t really matter all that much.  If you’re struggling on a hole, and you’ve racked up 10 strokes before getting on the green, consider just picking up and marking a 12 for that hole.  Your partners will thank you for not dragging them down with you.

5.   the “Driver Range” – I wish I had a dollar for every time I see golfers at the range hitting ball after ball with their driver, neglecting the fact that they have another 12 golf clubs.  This is no way to improve your golf game.  You might use your driver 14 times a round at the absolute most,  so why would you devote 80% of your practice time to it?  Keep that thing in your bag and work on your irons and watch your swing & game get better improve dramatically.

6.  The fine line – We’re all guilty of occasionally stepping near someone’s putting line, but to let newbies do it is the fault of the more seasoned golfers playing with them.  If they don’t know this important piece of golf etiquette…please instruct them on how to avoid this error.  We’ll all benefit from it in the end.

7.  Don’t stand so close to me – Newbies don’t necessarily know where to stand when someone else is hitting. It’s important to make sure you’re standing in a location that doesn’t visually bother your fellow golfer.  I personally dislike it when people stand directly behind me.   I don’t like to feel as if my discount golf clubs is going to hit them on the backswing.  As a general rule, either get completely out of their peripheral vision and stand by the cart, or stand behind on a diagonal where they can see you and know you’re not right on top of their swing.

8.  Stay off the black tees -  Yeah, it’s a macho thing to play the championship tees, but being new to the game, you don’t really need to add an extra 800+ yards to what will already probably be a LONG day.  Play the white tees which make the course a little shorter, and you’ll have a more enjoyable day.   If it’s your first time on a regulation course, consider playing the red tees.  (I know, but you’ll thank me for it later).

9.  Shut you pie hole – Just another etiquette lesson that most newbies don’t know until their told.  When another golfer is getting ready to hit or putt, keep it quiet so you don’t distract them.  This one is pretty basic, but you’d be surprised how many people are yapping away when you’re trying to tee off.   Don’t make me break out my “Quiet Please” tournament sign to prove a point.

And the TOP NEWBIE MISTAKE is:

10.  Forget lessons, I’m buying a $400 driver – This is without a doubt the biggest newbie mistake in history. You’ve only been playing a few months, but you think that expensive driver is going to have you shooting in the low 80’s? It is really better than golf clubs for sale? C’mon. Take that money and sign up for a lesson package at your local course or driving range.  You’ll get more benefit out of just a few lessons than that driver you probably won’t hit worth a darn anyway. This applies to that $1000 set of forged blades that no 25+ handicapper has any business hitting. There’s probably a hundred more of these, but that’s a pretty good start.
