Golf

"Handicap" comes from an old lottery game called "hand in cap," in which winners received a penalty. That is why favorites in a horse race carry a "handicap" of extra weight. Hence, handicap means any kind of hindrance or setback, especially a physical one.

A golf driving range would probably be at least 300 yards long. Depending on how many bays it has it could be anything from 300-700 yards wide. You need to allow the players to hit shots to the left and to the right and vary their shots. There is no standard size, all driving ranges are different.

This is not where golf was created, but St. Andrews Golf Links (Old) is considered the home of golf.

If accompanied by a certificate of authenticity quite a lot. They are moderately rare, but hard to put an exact value on. You should try a sports memoribilia auction at a reputable auction house. You could put it on eBay but there may be fakes on there and people may be suspicious.

To be honest, buying the immediate past model of a big manufacturers range is always a great bargain. The manufacturers heavily discount out of date clubs to get people to buy up old stock. Cleveland are very good for the money as are Cobra.

It is called the rough. However if there is differing lengths of rough the one closest to the fairway is called the 'first cut'.

is there any fuses and where are they located on an ezgo electric golf cart. 90s model

No, a ball retriever does not count as a club in your bag.

Usually it is before the cut. See before the cut, there are hundreds of players and they can't show all of it. Saturdays and Sundays usually show all of it.

Some of the most famous golf courses in the world would be The home of golf St. Andrews (Old Course) in Scotland. Augusta National (home of The Masters Championship). TPC Sawgrass (home of The Players' Championship) Pebble Beach, Oakmont, Pinehurst, Bethpage Black, Valderamma and Carnoustie.

Probably the most famous greens in the world are Auguata National, they are so fast and undulating. Sometimes the players don't even need to play towards the flag to get close.

27 degrees - nicknamed "Ely Would" - after Ely Callaway.

I've heard it called the turn house, cabana or just the halfway house.

About 20-21 degrees depending on manufacturer.

For it to be a recognised hole in one, it must be in an official competition, and you will need to complete 18 holes.

However, if you go out and played 9 holes with your friends and have a hole in one, it still counts, you still had a hole in one.

It all depends, and without knowing your game I could not tell you the best for you, however I will share a few tips with you.

One factor which is key, is the type of ground that your play on. If you play on a links course where the ground is hard and crusty a low bounce club is ideal as it will slide under the ball, if you used a high bounce club the club would bounce up too soon, and you could thin your shot. If you play on a course which is often soaked by rain, then a high bounce club is ideal, as a low bounce club would dig too easily causing a chunk.

It also depends how much sand is in the bunkers you play. If you play on a course with little sand in the bunkers, a low bounce club will allow you to slide under the ball and get it up quickly, a high bounce club will hit the bottom of the bunker and you will most likely thin your shot. If there is a lot of sand in the bunkers, a high bounce club is ideal as a low bounce club would dig too easily and you could end up leaving your ball in the bunker.

I have a 56 degree sand wedge with 10 degrees of bounce, and a 60 degree lob wedge with 4 degrees of bounce. I have this because I like to play flop shots and feel I can easily get under the ball to get elevation. The 60 degree with 4 degrees of bounce is not ideal from a fluffy lie in the rough because it will go straight under the ball, that is one of the reasons I have 10 degrees of bounce on my 56, so if I do come across that situation, I can hit a controlled shot with the 56 rather than take my chances with the 60.

If you are not a golfer, avoid at all cost any kind of silly or goofy golf-theme gifts. These are useless and a waste of money. Unless you know the golfer and his unique needs, for example, what kind of golf ball does he play with, it's usually best to treat the golfer to a gift certificate from a good pro shop. You can't go wrong.

Well the maximum number of clubs allowed in a players' bag is 14 so nearly all amateurs take full advantage of this.

A good set up depends on the player and what you like,

Driver, 3 wood, 5 wood, 3-PW, SW, LW and Putter. This would be good for a longer course, but if you played a shorter course you may want to replace the 5 wood or 3 iron with a Gap Wedge. Also, some players struggle hitting 3 and even 4 irons, so may replace them with hybrid or rescue clubs. A 5 wood plays around 18-19 degrees, so you could get a rescue or hybrid at that loft and add an extra wedge as well.

Depending on manufacturer your average name brand iron set degree of loft is as follows;

3 iron 21* of loft { The higher the # the higher the ball goes

4 iron 24 *{ The lower the # the further the ball goes

5 ----27 { * represents degree }

6-----30 *

7-----33 *

8-----37 *

9-----41 *

pw=pitching wedge any where from 45* to 48*

You go get sized. Everything from you swing path, height, stance, etc will affect the clubs you need. Callaway have a great system for analyzing what clubs you should have. This includes the face size, weight, shaft length, head angle, everything you need to know. Some bigger golf stores have similar systems, but they are very accurate. It may cost some money to be fitted, but usually they take that out of the cost of the clubs. Good luck.

As a general rule, women's clubs are shorter, lighter, and have more flexible shafts then men's clubs. Sometimes the color of the grips (powder blue, etc.) or the model name (Annika Sorenstam, etc.) may give it away. However, anyone can have clubs custom made to any length, weight and shaft flex so the general rule is just that...general.
