Golf

Eagle = Two-under-par (-2). Eagles most commonly occur on par-fives, when golfers with enough strength can drive to the green in two strokes rather than the expected three, and then hole out with just a single putt. Less commonly, a player will hole his or her approach shot (either the second shot on a par-four or the third shot on a par-five) to achieve an eagle. Naturally enough, a hole-in-one on a par-three hole also results in an eagle.

You can find Dunlop tennis racquets and equipment, golf equipment and tires and several other products that bear the Dunlop 'flying D' logo, but there isn't a Dunlop company per se. It's kind of complicated without sounding like legalese, but Dunlop is a brand and the rights to that brand are owned by different companies in different countries.

The term "links" dates back to the birth of golf itself on the shores of Scotland. It refers to a specific type of coastal golf course and its unique style of play. Golf was first played on the sandy stretches of land that linked the Scottish sea coasts to the fertile agricultural plains located inland. Too sandy to be farmed, this "linksland" was ideal for golf.

The term has become synonymous with golf courses in general. A course might refer to itself as a "golf links" even though it shares none of the classic characteristics of a links.

From the moment you arrive in the area where you or your playing partners believe that your ball may be; you have five minutes to find your ball. If you fail to do so you must either head back to the tee and play another ball, or play your provisional ball.(If you already played one from the tee)

Have every player submit 10-20 of their most recent rounds (preferably on the course where the golf league will be held).

Then, find the average between the scores given. That average number, minus 72 (or whatever par is on the course) is the persons handicap.

make sense?

No, it's just however many you take. The people you're golfing with may have a rule to keep the game moving quickly, but there is no official rule.

Today, May 5, 2012, Matthew Padgett of Chesterfield Virginia had back to back holes- in-one #7 and #8 at The First Tee Chesterfield in North Chesterfield, Virginia. As far as I can tell, I've never heard of this being done before by the same person on consecutive holes. I did see the following article, but I think this happened with two consecutive shots on the same hole: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/7765337/Golfer-gets-two-holes-in-one-in-a-row.html

All golf clubs are measured in inches. Just a shaft is simply measured top to bottom. When a golf club is assembled, with a head and grip, an iron is measured from the top butt end of the grip to the bottom of the hosel. When a wood is being measured it should be measured to the closest point of the sole to the hosel.

Augusta National is only open for about 3 months a year for it's members, and this is just after the masters. The course is obviously open for the Masters tournament in early to mid April. It is also open for a few weeks before that so the players can come and get a bit of practice in before they start playing the tournament.

Sports such as basketball and track have been modified so that an impaired person in a wheel chair could play basketball and "run" track.Not only people wheel chairs, but for people who can't use their real legs. Also, new sports have been created especially for impaired individuals not that I know the names of the sports though.

The absolute best way to regrip a golf club is to use an air gun. The type used has a narrow "nipple" it tapers to a small opening. You can buy a "special" golf club gripping tool online or you can just go to any hardware store that sells air tools and buy a simple air gun. Make sure you get on that doesn't have holes in side of nozzile and tapers to a small point. They are very common and cost about $5

See NOTES AT END OF ANSWER FOR TIPS.

1) All golf grips contain a small hole in the butt end of the grip. By pushing the end of the air gun into this hole and applying air pressure I have my regulator set to 80 lbs. it will cause the old grip to swell around the shaft and can be removed "IF" it is not too old. If it is stuck, you can use one of those plastic club guides that go into your bag to keep the old grip from blowing up like a balloon. That is IF it is not too old and you want to save it. If you don't care just cut it off with a razor knife.

2) Leave old tape on shaft, it will work again. I have left tape 30yrs old on the shaft and it will work fine. I suspect you don't even need the tape as the conventional way to put grip on is to use solvent. Solvent simply makes the glue on the tape slippery so the new grip could be slid on easy. With air you don't need to have it.

3) Put the end of the new grip onto the end of the shaft about 1/4 inch. Place the air gun into the small hole on butt of new grip. Put pressure on the end of the grip so when air is applied it will slide further onto the shaft. Once it starts sliding with air applied it will go on very easily and can be rotated to align the logo on the grip with the club head. NOTE: you dont' need the plastic tube mentioned above to put the new grip on. It will slide with very little pressure once air is applied and it will not swell up like an old one.

4) The new grip can be usually be removed easily without damage for a while so you can try different grips on a club to see which one you like.

NOTES:

*) Put club in vise to hold it during process. I made a rubber clamp from an old piece of automotive radiator hose to prevent the club shaft from being scarred. You could use a towel.

*) Once grip is on shaft I hold the grip nearest the club head, apply downward pressure and then apply more air to do the final seating. This helps to gently stretch the grip all the way onto the shaft and cover the mark left by the old grip. It will not damage the new grip to do this.

*) During the final seating I also make sure the logo is aligned with the club head so at address the grip logo is on top the club. This is aesthetic and I don't believe affects the performance of the club. But no reason not to align it.

Was wondering the same thing. And, came upon this:

The heads for Cobra golf clubs are made in China.

The shafts and grips are produced in Mexico.

The components are shipped to Carlsbad, Calif., where they are assembled.

Cobra clubs were originally made in the USA at the Carlsbad, CA manufacturing plant. As the company grew it quickly became the leader in the golf market, making millions of dollars on their driver sales alone. They were the first US golf manufacturer to introduce graphite shafts and sets of oversized irons. Cobra's success (a dominating 75% of the market in 1995) attracted the attention of big money corporations and was eventually bought out in 1996 by Acushnet, maker of Titleist clubs and balls.

Big companies are great at finding ways to decrease overhead and increase profit, which tends to lead to outsourcing the manufacturing process. The automotive and motorcycle industries do the same thing. "American-made" most often implies that the design and specs are American, and after some other cheap-labor country makes the parts, they are shipped back to be "assembled" in America.

Nevertheless, Cobra clubs are great! They look great, feel great, and play great, regardless of where the individual pieces are made today.

Imagine you are looking at the club face straight on. Imagine the face is divided into thirds. The left hand side is known as the toe, the middle is known as the sweet spot, and the right hand side, which is just below the hosel is known as the heel.

The original Ping Eye golf clubs had v grooves.

Yes, you definitely have the ability, you just need to take your game to the next level by playing and practicing loads and loads. You should consider things such as running and weight lifting etc to get you in good shape. Most golfers turn pro when they achieve a handicap of around +3 - +5.
