Golf

The diameter of a golf ball is not less than 4.27 centimeters.

Sam Snead with 82.

Basically, you should do whatever suits you the best. If you want to know the real seceret, you want to hit a low fizzing draw with the driver, it'll go an absolute mile!

I assume you mean a straight shot when you say 'line drive'. A straight drive is always best, as you will keep out of trouble, but it depends how high you launch it etc. If you hit a high angle drive, nearly all of your distane will come from carry, with very little roll. And obviously if you hit a low launch drive the ball will have less air time, but roll more.

Interestingly, the best thing to do is find a driver with your perfect loft and perfect shaft (custom fitting is the ideal way to achieve this) as well as the perfect ball for you. This will allow you to get the best from your game.

The cover material is injection moulded around the core, and compressed. The mould has the dimple pattern on it.

Unless you're really good with a few clubs, you would hit all of them except the putter. A driving range is for practice and you have different clubs for different distances, so practice with all of them.

Yes, i think that is a good handicap. OK you are not a world class player but you most likely shoot around a few over every round. Keep it up, you clearly have potential.

While not actually true, you can (very) roughly think of your handicap as what you will shoot over par on an an average course on a good day. So a handicap of 7 should break 80 on occasion, which we could call quite good.

As additional context, the average golfer shoots 100, and the average golfer that tracks their handicap online is about a 15, so you would definitely be above average on both counts.

On the green in regulation on a par 5 is 3 strokes.

Stand with your feet where you want the ball to start, and point the club face where you want the ball to finish. Swing out to in, across the line of your body holding the face open as you go. The ball will start left and turn over to the right (for right handed golfer)

It's usually the standing chairman of Augusta National, as in the cases of Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods. However, when Jack Nicklaus won in consecutive years, he put it on himself.

Play the ball off your back foot, feet close together, slightly lean onto your left side and keep your hands in front of the ball.

The easiest way to describe it is that the regular shaft is more flexible than the stiff one. The stiffer the shaft the quicker the swing speed needs to be to get the best from it. Also, stiffer shafts allow the ball to be hit farther, which is an exciting prospect for many amateurs but if someone with a slower swing hits a stiff shaft they will always hit low blocks instead of a nice high straight shot which they could with a regular.

Of course it depends on the player, but these are some typical distances for amateur men in good condition:

PW 100 yds
9I 110 yds
and so on, ten more yards per club.

240 yds is a good swing with a driver, 220 yds from a 3W, and 200 from a 5W are pretty typical.

These are for the ones that don't go into the woods, get skulled into the ladies tee box, are shanked into the cart, etc. So maybe they're not so typical. :-).

First of all Men are Stronger and there is like five times more men golfers then women golfers in the US OPEN. Also they DO combine LPGA and PGA in some tournaments, havn't you heard that Michele Wie (the quiter) did that tournamet but did not reach the cut? Also Anika joined to and she did make it but she was not even close to first place, there is a big difference between men and women.

A large majority of golfers are older people so they probably golfed in the 1960s

To break 100 means it took you less than 100 strokes to finish a round (18 holes). The average golfer who only plays a couple times a year will usually consider it a good day to break 100. Say you played a course with a par of 72 that is the "standard" number of strokes to finish the round. So if you shoot a 70 then you shot 2 under par, if you shot a 75 you are 3 over par. This means to shoot 100 on a par 72 course would be 28 over par, which doesn't sound good but if you never play you'll take it.

The clubs are actually manufactured in China. They are shipped to the USA and a seriel number is stuck on each club indicate that the profit and sales were logged and recorded for the US based company.

It is called the Grand Slam, it has never been done in professional golf.

Paul Casey, although he has a rib injury and the world rankings are easily changable.

There may be some local variations to speed play, but generally the penalty is "stroke and distance." This means that you add a penalty stroke to your score and hit the ball again from where the original ball was struck. The player has the option of hitting a provisional ball as well.

Because you are usually swinging form inside the line to outside the line as you contact the ball which puts a right to left spin.

If it goes straight left then you are probably aiming left and need to line your club, shoulders and feet parallel. Check this by putting a stick on the ground at the point of your toes and see where you are aiming.

Nick Faldo won the 1996 Masters, scoring -12

Up until 1983, all players were supplied caddies by Augusta National. From 1983 they were allowed to bring their own. They are the caddies who would caddy for the players on a week to week basis on tour.
