What makes a golf ball bounce?

AnswerIt has to do with the material a golf ball is made out of. It is a extremely strong material. A golf ball needs to bounce high to be able to get hit by a golf club and fly through the air and hit the ground and bounce. Due to that information a golf ball will bounce highest compared to almost ANY other balls. A golf ball is the winner of bouncing the highest.

How far walk 18 holes golf?

Multiply the distance (yards) of the golf course you are playing by 3, then divide by 5,280 feet (a mile). Example: 6,700 (yards) X 3 (feet in a yard) = 20,100 (feet) divided by 5,280 (feet in a mile) = 3.8 miles.

Of course, this assumes that you walk in straight line over the whole course. This of course is not true, golfers rarely hit the ball perfectly straight. It also does not take into account the amount a golfer walks looking for golf balls, as well as walking around the green (chipping and putting).

If we assume 100 yards between holes on average, that adds another 1800 yards to your walking distance. Then add 20% to the overall distance to take into account all of the extra walking above. Adding all that up, you get something around 10,000 yards.

Now divide by 1760 yards per mile = about 5 1/2 miles total.

What is the club that's normally used to hit the ball of the tee?

this is a question that depends on your skill level. since you're asking you are probably a beginner. drivers will give you the most distance but they are not so accurate in the hands of a newcomer. so, for novices a 3,4 or 5 wood will be a better choice for starting out. they tend to produce a more accurate shot with more loft which will allow for an easier bounce and roll after landing. the length of the hole should also be a factor as well as the surrounding environment such as trees, roughs, bunkers, and waterhazards. use the club with which you can most accurately get farthest down the fairway. once you are able to hit decently with most of your clubs here are suggestions for clubs with yardage given. an average, casual golfer hits between 175-275 yrds if the tee with a driver. around 150-200 with a wood(on the fairway). around 175-20yards with the irons/wedges from the fairway( that is going down from 2-LW in irons/wedges. you will find your distances once you get a good feel for the game. good luck.

Are you allowed to mark your golf ball on the fairway if it's in somebody's way?

What are the 4 majors in golf?

The four majors (for men's golf) are:

The Masters, which is run by Augusta National Golf Club, and played in April

The US Open, which is run by the USGA and is played in June

The Open Championship (often called the British Open in the US), which is run by the R&A and played in July, and

The PGA, which is run by the PGA and played in August.

Note that the PGA is the old PGA, the one that is now basically the association of club pros and teachers, not the PGA Tour, which is the touring professional players.

There's no authoritative committee that decides what's a major. These are the championships that have established a sufficient reputation to stand out from the rest. Things that go into major status are strength of field, prize money, qualification for subsequent events, and public recognition. Players don't stay home from majors unless they have to. Nobody misses the British Open to rest up for the Quad Cities, er, John Deere.

The PGA Tour would very much like to run its own major championship, and often hints that the Player's Championship (now in May) should be considered a major. If it were, there would be a major-a-month from April to August, which is probably too many.
