Blue stakes on a golf course indicate "ground under repair". They may be blue with a green top which would indicate that an appropriate government agency has declared the area an "environmentally-sensitive area" and the local golf committee has declared it ground under repair to prevent play from it.

Depends completetly on manufacturer, could be anything from 36-40 degrees.

Say player A's ball is sitting on the green, if player B's ball hit's A's ball and A goes in the hole, it must be replaced to the original position. If B's ball goes in, it is classed as holed. This scenario applies on if B hits from off the green. If he is on the green and hits A's ball he receives a two shot penalty.

First of all, you can't take them across greens, whereas the caddies can just walk across the green. There are so many people at tournaments, pulling them through crowds will not be very easy. And finally, the tees are so far back the players sometimes have to walk across things which are trolley could not go past.

The lowest golf score ever recorded by a male on an 18-hole course is 55, achieved by Jim Furyk on August 7, 2016, during the final round of the Travelers Championship in Connecticut. This remarkable round included 10 birdies and an eagle, showcasing exceptional skill and precision. Furyk's score is recognized as the lowest officially recorded in PGA Tour history.

Compression of a golf ball has not been used for about 10 years, as a result it is no longer given as data for golf ball performance.

When an amateur wins a professional event, the organisers will give the prize money for 1st place to the 2nd placed competitor, and 2nd place prize money to 3rd placed and so on.

The Hosel (one 's') is the socket or neck in the head of a golf club into which the shaft is inserted.

Anywhere form 300-450 depending on your brand of ball.

Assuming you are referring to the "break" on the green, it is the slope of the surface of the putting green. When putting if the ball rolls to the right it is said to be a "right break" same for left break, ball rolls to left after being struck by putter. To hit the hole when putting on a right break, you would have to hit ball to the left. You will hear terms such as "inside left edge" which would indicate to aim at the left side of the cup and the ball should "break" right into the cup when you hit put.

Other terms: right edge, outside right edge, 2 inches outside right edge(aim 2 inches outside right side of cup), etc. A severe break would be 3-4 feet of break.

Distance and Speed as factors:

Distance from cup is a major determining factor for break. If ball were 5 foot from cup a break of inside the left edge would possibly be 1-2 feet of break if the ball were 15 feet from hole.

Speed is also a major consideration. Normally when break is stated it is assumed the speed of the put would cause the ball to stop 1-2 feet past the ball.

Some putters are "die in" putters. They only hit ball enough to get it exactly to hole and ball literally falls into the hole as it is stopping. Some golfers are very good at this but it is not recommended for most golfers. These golfers must be very good at reading break and speed of putting surface.

Salaries for professional golfers vary widely based on the number of tournaments they enter and win and the number of endorsements/sponsors they have.

Tiger Woods, the highest paid athlete in the world, earned $110 million from 2008 to 2009 from both tournament earnings and sponsorships.

There is still a major doubt about the 2009 IRISH OPEN. A sponsor has been found 3 mobile ,but the chosen venue of Mount Juliet declined the offer to stage the event. We are all now waiting to see if anything can be resurrected with Adare Manor or another venue to stage the 2009 event They have asked 'Baltray' to host the event as they think the east coast will attract more spectators and they also think better players will play if it's hosted by a famous links course it's now up to the club to accept. Carton House are also have been known tohave shown an intersest but 'Baltray' are favourites to host the event.

Yes, they will hit the ground at the same time because while they will have different velocities over all, they will at all times have the same vertical velocity. And its that velocity which determines when they hit the ground.

As per USGA rules it is only a maximum of 24. And for Ladies it is 36.

The tip is the section of the shaft which goes into the head of a club. Different club heads have different tip sizes so can only take certain shafts. The most common tip sizes are .335 inches and .350 inches.

Golf professionals use clubs from a variety of manufacturers and are each tailored to each individual to suit their specific individual body type and swing.

There is an awful lot to be gained by having a correctly fitted set of clubs, something all pros but not all amateur golfers take advantage of.

Most Pros will then select 13 clubs from a pool for possibly 18 clubs (Golfers may only carry 14 clubs, and virtually all serious players will carry a putter!) specifically for the course they are playing on that particular day. They select the clubs that will provide the best combination of clubs taking into consideration trajectory, carry, overall distance, spin rate, feel at impact, course setup and hazards, but it's essentially the clubs they think that will enable them to shoot the lowest score possible for that round!

Not all clubface lofts are universal between clubs marked the same. The lofts vary between individual clubs and manufacturers. ie - XYZ PW has 46 degrees of loft whilst ABC PW has 48 degrees.

Like any major, the US Open has 4 rounds of golf. The cut is made after 2 rounds. This year's tournament has been plagued by bad weather; so the second round is being played on Saturday, instead of the usual Friday.

Step 1. Become filthy rich. Step 2. Cultivate friends who are members of Augusta National. Step 3. Shmooze heavily. There are a few other ways. Dwight Eisenhower was able to play Augusta because he was a war hero and President. To follow that route, ask your Congressman to appoint you to West Point, study hard, and hope for another World War just as your career is reaching its peak. Simply being President doesn't seem to be enough. I don't think they ever invited Bill Clinton to play. Seriously, Augusta is incredibly exclusive and snobbish. Asking won't get you much of anywhere.
