Golf

No, water does not ruin a golf ball. However, prolonged exposure to water or submersion may affect the performance of the ball by altering its weight or balance. It is recommended to dry the ball thoroughly before use to maintain its quality and performance.

While it is possible to use thinner as a substitute for golf grip solvent, it is not recommended. Thinner can potentially damage the grip or affect its performance and durability. It is always best to use the recommended solvent specifically designed for installing golf grips.

A warmer ball will come off the clubface with more velocity and spin than a colder ball, encouraging loft. The ball's temperature also has an effect on bounce. Heat gives the ball more elasticity, creating a ball that bounces more and travels longer.

While the Apollo program did not engage in traditional sports activities such as golf on the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard famously hit a golf ball while on the lunar surface during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971. This lighthearted moment was a demonstration of the moon's reduced gravity and the astronauts' ability to perform tasks in their bulky spacesuits.

Al Geiberger, Chip Beck and David Duval are the only players to shoot 59 on the PGA Tour, and Annika Sorenstam shot a 59 on the LPGA Tour.

lets not forget that Kim Jung Il of North Korea shot a 34

Ryo Ishikawa shot a 58 on the Japan Tour on May 2, 2009

Paul Goydos (John Deere Classic) and Stuart Appleby (Greenbriar Classic) both shot 59 in 2010.

In 2012, professional golfer Rhein Gibson shot a 55 during a casual round of golf.

On average, about 40,000 golfers are injured by golf balls each year in the United States. The severity of injuries can vary from minor bruises to more serious injuries like fractures or concussions.

You may have the ball too far up in your stance, or the clubs you are using are too weak for you, you could consider getting the faces bent shut a couple of degrees. However hitting irons higher will allow you to stop the ball quicker on the greens.

Many players can hit a 3 wood farther than a driver. Because of the very low loft on the driver, it's necessary to hit the ball with high club head speed and with a slight upswing at impact. If you're not doing both of those things, a higher lofted club will give you better distance AND better control. You might benefit from a higher lofted driver. They are available in 12 to 15 degree lofts now.

There isn't a completely simple answer to this question, but I'll try and give you some 'rules of thumb'. As I'm sure you are well aware, the distance a golf ball carries depends on quite a few factors, e.g.: a) atmospheric conditions b) clubhead speed at impact c) how close to the so-called 'sweet spot', on the clubface, the initial contact with the ball is, at impact d) the nature and characteristics of the golf ball and driver in use, which in turn depend on the manufacturer and model. Some balls, and some drivers, produce a more 'lively' impact than others, so that the ball leaves the clubface at a higher speed, even at constant clubhead speed. Also the ball spin characteristics are a variable and again this affects distance. However, having said all of that, here are some ROUGH guideline figures: With a typical, 'middle of the range' modern driver, with a loft of about 10 or 11 degrees, and a 'middle of the range' ball: 90 mph clubhead speed will typically produce about 200 yards of CARRY (not total distance) 100 mph -----------------------------"-----------------------225 110 mph -----------------------------"------------------------250 Now, there are some important things to remember about those numbers: 1) The figures assume a clubface SQUARE TO THE TARGET at impact and 2) The direction of the clubhead is STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE TARGET at the instant of impact. and 3) The clubface contacts the ball AT THE 'SWEET SPOT' on the clubface. An important thing about point number 3 above is that, as another rule of thumb, for every quarter inch (6.3mm) away from the sweet spot the contact is, you will lose about 5% of distance. Many ordinary golfers, for much of the time, are half an inch or more off the sweet spot. So that's 10%, which equates to 20 yards on a 200 yard drive - quite a lot!! All this underlines the need for golfers to learn to hit the ball BETTER, rather than just trying to hit it harder. Now the above figures are CARRY, not total distance. The extra bit of distance is of course the 'bounce and roll' and this varies enormously when using a driver. On very soft ground you'll get virtually nil bounce and roll, but on hard, dry ground you might get 50 yards or maybe more. Under 'average' ground conditions, you can reckon on bounce and roll being about 10% of the carry distance. What I've said above is by no means an exhaustive explanation of the factors affecting distance, but it's a start. In conclusion, using the figures I've provided, you can deduce that you might expect a 250 yard drive with average modern equipment from a clubhead speed of just over 100 mph, assuming that bounce and roll is 10% of the carry distance, and assuming good, precise, square impact.

A forged iron is one which is made out of a softer material and is continually stamped into shape, then finish by hand and with chrome plating. This gives the club a much softer feel. It differs from most other clubs which are cast.

You are better off to purchase a new system that can be easily installed or removed from your golf cart and put in any other vehicle if wanted. The latest technology offers that and much more, it is called the Millennium Plus and is available from www.findvehicle.net at a very reasonable price.

Its momentum is due to the amount of energy transfered from club to ball. There are a few factors in this transfer, the speed of the club head, the compression of the club face and most importantly the compression of the golf ball.

I'm assuming that you're refering to the area where the face of the club and the shaft meet. If this is the case, there could be any number of causes. You could be over extending your backswing, causing your stroke to come off balance, and therefore offsetting the line of your stroke (think a pendulum that is pushed/pulled in one direction... it over swings in the other direction to compensate). Alternately, the cause could be that during your backswing, you don't rotate the club, which causes the face to close during you swing. One of the easiest fixes for any golf problem is to be sure you remind yourself to point the toe of the club up as you swing. It should be about perpendicular (90*) to the ground by the time it's hip level. There are a number of reasons you may be hitting with the heel. But the most common I would think would be clubs that are not fitted. Are you shorter then 5'8"? It may be that the off the rack clubs most players have are not adjusted to your body type. An adjustment of your clubs lie angle more flat would help a great deal.

Offset irons are easier to hit because of the position of the club at impact. At impact, the hands should be leading the ball, therefore having the club face lag behind. The offset of clubs allow non-pros to have a similar club location at impact, and this will give you a better ball flight.

There are many causes for this:

One very common cause is that you're "topping off" the ball. This means you're striking the ball on the top, not getting good contact. To correct this problem, perhaps bend your knees more, don't choke up on the clubs as much, or buy longer clubs. The best thing you can do is consult a golf pro to get effective shot help

It cost too much money to take lessons. Its simple. Tee the ball up higher. Dont pull your head. AND KEEP YOUR SHOULDERS LEVEL. I used to have this problem when I switched from a 10.5 to a 9.5 degree driver. I wanted loft so I sunk my shoulder which made it worse. Just hit the range and work it out.

Diff answer :) from mlmiller9112.- I have played golf for eight years and have received lessons for about 5. You may be putting the ball too much in the back of your stance, which will make your ball go lower. With irons, put it in the middle or a little more "up" in your stance. With woods, make sure you are standing close enough to the ball (if you are standing too far away, then you will hit it like you are describing.) so that you are not reaching for it as you swing. Also, make sure your woods are up in your stance and lean to your right slightly before you swing (this will make swing easier). Make sure you are going "low to high" when you swing, so you will be lifting it up from the ground and not driving down, which will make it go lower and get back spin (in fairway not good, on green good). With chipping, make it higher up in your stace and choke down on your club (I use a Gap wedge like I breathe air :D) so that you do not go over the green. Plus, do NOT use your wrists when you chip! Make sure you are taking an easy swing, making contact with the ground, and that you are NOT USING YOUR WRISTS! This will make your swing "scoopy" and not consistant.

Let me know if this helped!

Eagle Ridge golf course is located at Williston, North Dakota. Eagle Ridge golf course is known for an 18 hole golf course with open rolling fairways.

This statement uses the Transfer technique by associating the positive ideas and feelings of Jane Golf with the product Spritz. It implies that by using Spritz, you can also achieve the same desirable qualities as Jane Golf.

Roughly 30-40% of golfers also enjoy fishing as a recreational activity. Fishing and golfing share similarities in relaxation, patience, and being outdoors, making them complementary hobbies for many enthusiasts.

Approximately 20-25% of golfers break 80 on a consistent basis. This level of play requires a combination of skill, consistent practice, and mental fortitude.

Less than 2% of golfers are able to shoot their age, meaning they score equal to or below their current age in a round of golf. This is considered a significant accomplishment in the golfing world due to the skill and consistency required.

Par for a golf course is typically based on the length and difficulty of each hole, not the total yardage of the course. Each hole will have a designated par value, which is the expected number of strokes a skilled golfer should take to complete the hole.

At the present time it may be Musselburgh.

The oldest record of golf actually being played was on 2nd March 1672 in the accounts book of Sir John Foulis an Edinburgh accountant. "... played golfe at Musselburgh and lost £3 5' 0". Musselburgh Old Course is still in existence and competitions are still played there reguarly by Musselburgh Old Course Golf Club. (MOCGC)

It is Musselburgh. Roumored (but not proven) Queen Mary played golf there in the 16th century (perhaps 1538).
