Everything you need to know to become a golfer
“Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad”, a
fascinating quote by A.A. Milne. The other day, out of the blue my friend Dino asked me to go
golfing. I was surprised because I know he’s never once stepped foot on a driving range, let alone
a golf course! With some hesitation, I agreed to take him golfing and show him the ropes. I was
sure to warn him about all the rules and codes of conduct I’d have to go over with him before we
actually play.
Sunday morning rolls around and I pull up to Dino’s house and honk the horn. He walks up
to the car wearing jeans and a white beater! I was like “woah, woah, woah, where do you think
you’re

There are areas on a golf course deemed “ground under repair” which means you can
move your ball to the nearest point in which there is a well-maintained section of the grass. I
made sure Dino heard this rule because I would not be one bit surprised to see him getting full
use out of his “foot wedge”. Once you know the rules you’ll then need to seek out the required
equipment to play the game. Equipment needs include an adequate supply of golf balls, wood and
plastic tees, a decent set of clubs (irons, woods, hybrid clubs and putter), golf shoes and a golf
bag. Optional equipment can include an umbrella, divot repair tools, sunglasses and golf visor.
So we roll into the Long Beach Country Club’s parking lot and I suggest we hit the driving
range to warm up. Dino gets upset because he just wants to get out on the actual course and play.
I then explain to him how crucial it is to spend time practicing and warming up before and or
after you play. As were warming up I go over the different types of clubs we will use throught the
round of golf, staring with the driver aka “the big dog”, which is the largest club in the bag and
used on the first shot on most holes. You’ll then usually pull out and iron to hit your next shot.
Irons are numbered from one all the way to ten (also known as the pitching wedge). The higher
the number of the iron used, the shorter(and higher) the ball
hat's the one shot most players would like to add to their game for lower scores? If you answered a high, soft shot within about 60 yards of the green I think you'd be right. Most mid to high handicap players want to know how to master the lob wedge.
Layton Allred Mr. Foster Language Arts 8 May, 2018 Final Essay Rickie Fowler is a professional golfer who is in his prime of his professional golf career. Rickie has been playing golf since he was 8 years old and he has always dreamed of becoming the number one ranked player in the world. He was at the top of his game and has never been more confident in his golf game in his entire life. The Masters Golf Tournament is the most important tournament of the year, therefore the player that wins The Masters becomes the number one ranked player for an entire year.

The sand traps, one about 200 yards on the left side of the fairway and the other another 50 yards ahead of it at the end of the fairway before it doglegs to the left. It's pearly white colored rocks glisten in the warm spring sun. Its narrow, extremely narrow, only about a 30 yard wide fairway, and even more narrow opening to the fairway from the tips. The hazard to the right is once again dense and misleading for behind the majestic tree line there immediately lies a treacherous creek like the sirens Odysseus encounters in Odyssey on his way home for they were beautiful yet scary because they knew it lured sailors to their death. Now everything accounted for, the plan was now set to take the safe approach into this gusty tight par 4. Firmly and confidently I grasp the smooth surface of my 3 wood shaft, yanking in from my patriotic colored Callaway golf bag. I gradually move my hands up the club to its stiff rubber grip, taking long deep breaths, focusing in and getting into a state of mind where u just forget every thought you have in ur mind and you enter a state of near blissful
“I wanted to be like my uncle, who was a golf pro and course superintendent. I was (at the course) every day out there playing. I love the game of golf. You have to love it to be dedicated to it and spend all day out there.”
This all seems a bit too much to take in but if you go out to the driving rance here and at kennedy golf course or blue rock (where I can you guys free buckets) and follow my steps and practice you should get it in no time. Golfing takes practice and lots of dedication, and it takes golfers years to hit balls consistently. With a correct grip, proper stance and backswing and downswing, practicing to hit a golf balls should be a bit more clearer. Practice and more practice will allow you to become a better golfer and following these steps will only help as far as you choose to get into golf. It may be frustrating at first but once you
To play golf properly, first, you must have golf equipment. There is a variety of golf equipment from Titleist to Callaway. Finding the right clubs might take a while, and can be costly.

Imagine the sun bursting through the trees for the first time of the new day, the smell of freshly cut grass still potent to your nose as you tee the ball up for a round of golf in the cool mist of a spring morning.

Marsden sat down with his swing coach to set up his objectives for his golf career. He realized he had a lot of work to do to reach that goal of winning a Green Jacket. Marsden’s father Jeff, had bought him a membership at Mattaponi Springs, where he would spend countless hours on the range and around the greens. Dyson had a routine he would do every day; he would hit eight perfect shots with each club in his bag. The young man then would move on to the chipping surface, he hit fifty perfect shots that had to land within three feet of the pin. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would be on the range practicing, if he didn’t answer the phone and you needed him he was at the range working. He would put in dedication into his golf game twenty four seven.
The other most important item that you need on the course is a golf club. The mathematics behind a golf club is shown just by the amount of different clubs that are need in a given game. They’re a thousands of different types of golf clubs that each are designed in a why that changes the direction and distance of a golf ball.

A matter of opinion has separated a variety of sports enthusiasts apart, due to the ongoing debate of whether golf is a sport or simply a skill. Famed golfer Arnold Palmer declared, “Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening – and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented. (ThinkQuest.com)” These words state what every athlete experiences and feels when he/she is turning a double play, making the game winning three point shot, or throwing a hail mary pass for a touchdown. Golfers are athletes too, they train for that big moment just like any other athlete, but
Our town is notable for having several interesting golf courses. For those residents whose interests lie in other pursuits, those courses are a waste of large quantities of otherwise useful space that could be better used to construct another mall or store. For the golf enthusiasts among us, however, the preponderance of courses is a delightful benefit of living in this otherwise uninteresting locale, where the only saving grace is the plentiful supply of interesting people.
Look around you to make sure no one is around you before swinging the club
In every aspect of one’s life, their goal should always be to achieve the highest achievement possible. This is prominent in the business world because of the changing market.
