Whoever said that golf is an interesting sport was right. It is both loved and reviled by an equal number of people. Those who support it do so because of the supposed perks while those who hate it enumerate its disadvantages. Are you undecided on which side to lean on? Well, here is a detailed list of the disadvantages that can assist you in making a significant decision. Read it thoroughly before making the correct choice.

First of all, playing golf is something that is reserved for the elite because it requires a deep bank account. If you don't have sufficient funds, you cannot play well. How can you when you don't have cash to pay for the golf club membership? You can't also afford to buy luxurious golf clubs, pay the trainer, caddy and the use of the cart. If you are just a nobody who aims to become a superstar in this field, you need more than skills. It is imperative that you have courage so that you can pursue your passion. You must continuously strive to become better so that advertisers will notice you and offer you to be their endorser. If you fail to do this, you will simply rot along the way.

Additionally, this game is not for the weak of heart since it is more than just a physical competition. It requires mental alertness as well as meticulous analysis. One must have high intellectual skills to assess whether the weather condition is appropriate for teeing or not.

The second disadvantage is that it doesn't contribute much to one's physical health. Other sports would usually make you sweat because they are high impact. Golf does not belong to that classification because teeing does not burn that many calories. Also, it is quite disconcerting to note that most players opt to take the easy route and just ride their golf carts as they travel from one area to another. They also lose the chance of strengthening their upper body when they just let their caddies carry all their equipments.

So if you want to remove a few kilos from your weight, develop your flexibility or tone your body, this sport should not make it to the shortlist. You must look towards other games that can provide you a more strenuous physical workout.

Third, if you are into golf, you will be crucified as a certified destroyer of Mother Nature. This is because the greenery that you are playing in is a product of well controlled landscaping by property developers. Obviously, there is not a fairway in this world that looks unruly. They are neatly manicured and showered with liters upon liters of water every single day. This means that water is being used purely for aesthetic purposes.

The wide expanse of land that is used to make a nine whole golf course is simply a waste of resources. If you double this figure for 18-hole golf course that amounts to a big space that could have been used for other more meaningful purposes. It is not a very feasible plan to implement especially with the increasing number of people living in shanties.

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen! Hopefully, this article would make you realize that golf is unlike any other sport. Be careful before making a decision so that you will not feel guilty later on.

You have decided you like this new game, but you really aren't playing as well as you would like.  Your friends are beating you by large margins and you would like to even the score. 

It's time to drop $300 on that new fancy square backed driver with the snazzy stripped shaft that all the touring pros are using.  Wait a minute, maybe you should buy the $200 wedge that Tiger or Phil uses and that $200 putter would make anyone proud.

I am sorry, now is not the time to run up more debt on the old credit card.  Superior equipment will help an average, better than average or superior golfer.  You don't qualify!

To really justify top end and expensive equipment you need to have developed a consistent swing.  Right now no two balls are going anywhere nears each other from your clubs.  Do you really believe it is all the clubs' fault?

A good professional or golf shop employee will want to fit the clubs to your body and swing.  Matching the clubs to a reliable trustworthy swing will allow the clubs to produce superior performance for that one golfer.  Would you like to match the clubs to your shanked shot, fat shot, or flubbed shot?  Oh, and what putting stroke are we talking about?

You should spend your money on three things.  A decent set of used golf clubs, a good training book or video and a useful training aide.  This will allow you to improve and refine your game before spending a ton of money.

Top golfers like to have the newest and best every year or two.  They trade in their slightly used top brand equipment and then brag to their buddies.  You can learn to play this game with two or three year old brand name equipment without destroying your budget.  Make sure to add an inexpensive sand and gap wedge since many standard sets do not come with these clubs.

It is normally best to use standard length and lie clubs.  Custom clubs would have both of these items adjusted to the golfer, but you really aren't ready.  Unless you are very tall or very short standard length clubs will be close enough to fit your needs. 

Pick your training book or video carefully.  You are going to follow the material faithfully.  Any good source will do, since they are going to teach you using a proven method.  Following good advice from one consistent source will allow you to improve without confusion.  Multiple competing sources will confuse you and slow your progress.

Choose one training aide for your swing and one more for your putting.  Practice with those aides only.  You are trying to learn one consistent swing.  Not a little bit of five different people's swings.

Right now will not be the best time to read every article in every golf magazine.  Each author is qualified, but the changes in focus or mind set will only make it harder for you to picture one complete swing.  Articles intended for better golfers will only add to your confusion.

Patience, practice and time will allow the training materials and aides to help you develop a real golf swing.  You will begin to notice that more balls fly straighter than ever before.  You won't always hit greens but your misses will be much closer.

Learn to estimate the distance each club will fly.  The best place to do this is on par three greens.  The distance to the green is normally well marked and you are hitting a real golf ball.  The range is a great place to practice your swing mechanics, but the range golf ball is frequently less responsive so your carry distance will not be accurate.

As you get more comfortable with your new swing, you will almost surely see the distance each club carries increase.  Yes, you have probably gotten a little stronger, but actually you are hitting the ball more consistently and that produces greater distance.  You will almost surely hit one or even two less clubs to get into the same par three greens.

You still have a long way to go and much to learn, but now is the time to consider those new clubs.  You have a swing that you can trust and repeat.  Custom fitted clubs will compliment your new swing.

A professional golfer understands the role played by golf club in his game. While an amateur to game may be comfortable with an old golf club but a professional tries to identify a golf club that not only suits his needs but also playing style.

Today a golfer can make his pick from a golf club made from steel or graphite. Unlike the steel golf clubs, the graphite clubs are of recent origin. Though both, one can enjoy many advantages but selection needs to depend on comfort of player.

Some of differences between steel and graphite golf clubs are mentioned below:

Steel Vs Graphite Golf Clubs:

1. The popularity of the graphite golf clubs arose on account of the properties enjoyed by it. golf clubs made of graphite are lighter than a steel golf club. This makes it highly appreciated by the smaller built and less powerful golfers. A graphite golf club weigh 50 grams lower than a steel club making it possible for women and the senior citizens to make a good swing as they are not restricted by the weight of the club. While a steel golf club weighs around 110 to 125 grams, a graphite golf club weighs around 60 to 72 grams. The lighter weight of the graphite golf clubs result in lower pressure on the back and shoulders of the golfers.

2. Steel shaft golf clubs are highly suited for shorter distances whereas the graphite golf clubs are used in woods and drivers where the distance of the swing is high.

3. The vibrations generated in a graphite golf club are lower than that in steel. As the graphite absorbs a greater part of the vibrations, it makes it highly convenient for those suffering from arthritis and similar ailments.

4. The flexibility of length enjoyed by the graphite golf clubs unlike the steel clubs has been another cause for its popularity over the years. The ability to customize the fitting options make it ideal for shorter people who need not compromise on their game on account of the height.

Although the steel golf clubs are less expensive than a graphite golf club, the lighter weight resulting in a greater swing speed and larger distance coverage has made it popular even amongst the professional PGA golfers besides the amateurs.

The snow is beginning to melt, and it is almost time to get back out onto the golf course. Take a few minutes to review a few things, stretch a few muscles and maybe improve your game a little bit.

Check and make sure your clubs are the right height. Your clubs should be as high as your waist, no higher, no lower. If there is a height problem, then you will not have the best swing possible.

What about your glove. Golf gloves not only improve your comfort level, but they also can make your grip even tighter. Your grip is just about the most important thing to work on. Your grip can make all your shots even better.

A firm grip is very easy to accomplish. All you need to do is wrap your left hand around the club, with your thumb pointing down the shaft, parallel to the club face. Then, place your right hand around the left hand so your middle, ring and pinky fingers are wrapped around your thumb. Make sure your grip is firm.

Keep your wrists as tight as possible. The less you move your wrists, the better the shot will be. Instead, use your left thumb to guide the club to where it needs to be. Just your thumb. Keep those wrists as still as you possibly can.

If you follow these few tips, you should see an improvement in your game very quickly. Don't forget to keep your head down until you have hit the ball!!

For most golfers buying a new set of clubs is as important as buying a car. It's important to get it right because you can spend a lot of money and you'll be using them for many years to come. If you haven't realized it already golf equipment gets very technical. For the very best players a misplaced 'C.O.G' or 'M.O.I' can severely affect their game. For the rest of us a few simple decisions will help you select the right golf clubs for you and avoid wasting your hard earned cash. Let’s take a look at what you need to know.

How much you spend is obviously up to you. Golf equipment can cost a small fortune especially if you opt for custom made stuff. If you're a beginner it’s probably a better idea to look for a less expensive range or even buy second hand (check for signs of rusting and degradation if you do). This game is a tough nut to crack and not everyone develops an addiction to it. You don't want a thousand dollars worth of golf clubs gathering dust in the closet! When you get to a decent level or are already there it then becomes more cost effective to go for the higher end products.

The majority of your golf bag will be taken up by the irons - generally 3 through to 9. The quality of the shaft is key for these clubs and industry standard is for the irons to be made out of steel. Take note - if your swing speed is slow or your swing speed is decreasing due to age consider buying graphite shaft irons. They are lighter and can help you get back some distance.

The flex of the shaft is another key component. Again slower swing speeds require a more flexible shaft. The extra whip generated helps add yards to your shots. This is not helpful to the golfer who is hitting their 7 iron 150 yards or more as flexible shafts tend to be harder to control at that level. These types of golfer should look at the stiffer range.

A feature of the 21st century golf bag is the hybrid clubs. A mix between the fairway wood and standard iron this club is known to be easier to hit than long irons and can be used in many situations. Generally considered a must for high handicappers and beginners you will also find that the pros have adopted them also. It’s certainly worth considering having these in your bag rather than the long irons. If, like me, you tend to spend a little too much time in the rough then these golf clubs can be your savior.

When you are making your selection be mindful that golf clubs are generally made to a standard length. When you set up, the club head should sit flat on the ground and the club should fall below your waist. The standard length is acceptable for most golfers but if you're particularly small or tall it might be a better idea to go for a custom made set. This will give you a better chance of solid contact.

The club head comes in all shapes and sizes. You hear much about the debate between cavity backed and blades. The cavity backed club head has a larger sweet spot so is easier to hit but at the cost of feel and control. This is why better players tend to prefer the blades.

The driver and fairway woods usually have graphite shafts to assist in generating club head speed. As with irons the amount of flex you need depends on how much speed you tend to generate.
 
Loft of the driver head is often overlooked. Slow swingers want a higher loft as it helps get higher trajectory off the tee and ultimately more carry down the fairway. Loft tends to range between 10 and 15 degrees. Better players should opt for the lower end of that range.

Fortunately for some of us you can select the angle of the face of the driver to offset any tendencies such as slicing or hooking. If you slice go for a closed face and if you hook go for an open face. The difference can be between hitting the rough regularly and getting down that fairway.

The putter is all about feel. You need to be able to produce a smooth stroke to get the right contact on the golf ball. As a result there are a great many variations in the type of putter you can buy. See which one sits right with you. The heavier putters can help beginners because they promote a less jerky technique and reduce the chance of the golfer giving up on the putt as they hit it.

The grip has to feel comfortable. You can have golf clubs rewrapped and this may come in useful if you have small or large hands.

Everyone has their own tastes so not all the tips will apply but it’s certainly worth bearing these pointers in mind. Buying clubs can be a sizeable investment and the last thing you want is to find you've chosen a set that you simply cannot get on with. One final tip is to make sure you are honest about your game with the store attendants when selecting clubs. Yes, they are trying to sell to you but they will want you to get the right clubs. It’s no use saying you hit the ball dead straight and play off a 4 handicap when you really have a horrendous slice and struggle to break 100. The needs of these two types of player are very different!
