Where can one watch golf online?

Importantly, it is never one size fits all. The Golf game is unique as the golfers themshelves. Everyone including the pros has at least one weakness in their golf game if not more. To find suitable instructions and helps, we need to firstly identify those weak areas and match them to instructional websites that specialized in that certain area of our golf game. Be it putting, driving, tempo and posture. My wife. Lynda and I have a hobby website/directory that showcases a good number of instructional websites and each of their specialty in dealing the various aspect of the Golf game. We hand-picked few sites which we believe to be credible and useful and wrote a short review on each one in our directory page. Strangely more often than not, when we join an instructional course online or offline, we stumble upon our root problem far remote from what we perceive to be so. It does take a fair amount of trial and error and one on one time spend with an instructor. This highlights the point that effective communcation is vital especially on an online Golf instructional website. Here is a rough checklist on " what is a good Golf instructional website": - Does the instructor has his/her name and contact details clearly visible on the website. A direct and personal contact email or phone number is a plus. - Does the instructor clearly states his/her credentials and experience. - Is there a guarantee? For example: 90 days unconditional full refund policy. - Is the website updated regularly; is there a blog activity, updated newsletter and articles and change in product promotion. Do you find these information very useful and informative. Do you get prompt response from an email query you sent them. - Is there a good amount of "recent" testimonies of success stories. - Does the site clearly stated the expected result and improvement ensure. Is there a programme setup and constant interaction with the instructor to help you to reach your desired goals. - Lastly, what is the method of communication: live phonecall, emails, online video, e-books, snail-mail books and DVD or forum link with the instructor.

How long does it take to play a round of mini golf?

To play mini golf just go to a putting green and put small or large objects as obsticles (optional but it's more fun this way). Since in a putting green there are many flags, go from one flag to another constantly with those obsticles, (that's if you want to put them). So yes, mini golf is putting only from hole to hole with obstacles like, sand (sprinkle some in one place and it will be like an obstacle, the ball will slow down if it goes over it), rocks, leaves with a stem so it will act like a tree (puncture the ground with the stem). That's how you play mini golf, you have to have a putting green with obstacles and put to each hole and count how many shots it takes for you to go in the hole. (Sorry, i might have confused you but 95% of mini golf has obstacles so I mean you can put them like it's suppose to be or not).

Can you walk into a bunker pick up a rake then rake footprints then move round to other side of same bunker then take your shot?

Yes, you are allowed to do this. It is one of the biggest misconceptions in golf. You are not allowed to improve your stance or lie, so if the footprints are on the other side of the bunker it is fine to rake them. However, since most people are unsure of this rule you may want to leave it until you play your shot as to not raise any questions. As I said, it is perfectly legal to do what your question asked.

What are the Rules of ambrose golf?

It seems that there are no "Official" rules of play for an Ambrose Event, also called a "Scramble". Mostly, the event is played thus. The event is played with a set number of players in a team, which is stipulated for each event, usually two, three or four. Each player's name and handicap is written on the card. The individual player's handicaps are added together and the team handicap is a fraction of the total, depending on the number of players in the team. The divisor is double the number of players, i.e. a two person team's total is divided by four, a three person's by six and a four person's by eight. This will mean that many team handicaps are a whole number and a fraction. For example a three player team with individual handicaps totalling 47, the team handicap is 47 divided by 6, which gives a team handicap of 7 and 5 sixths.

It is best for each team to appoint a captain, to make decisions.

For scoring purposes, the game is played as a stroke event. Each player hits a tee shot and then each team chooses whose team ball is in the best position for the next shot. That ball position is then marked and the other team members place their ball within a club length, but no closer to the green, of the chosen ball, no matter where the chosen ball lies. The chosen ball is hit from where it lies.

If the chosen ball is in a bunker, the team balls must be placed within the bunker. If the chosen ball is in a water hazard, the team balls are dropped using the normal rules including the penalty. If the chosen ball lies in the rough, the team balls are placed within a club length of the chosen ball. This may allow the team balls to be placed on the fairway if they are still only a club length away. Conversely, if the chosen ball is on the fairway, the team balls may be placed in the rough, one club length away, if that is their choice.

Play continues this way until the chosen ball lies on the green, and the team balls are then placed within a card length, (15 cm or 6 inches) from the chosen ball. This continues until the ball is in the hole. Once the ball is in the cup, the hole is completed and other team players are not required to putt. To speed up play, some organisers allow a player to finish a short putt, and if another team player holes it in a lesser amount, the lesser score may be taken. This should be decided and agreed to, before the start of the game!

Each team player must have their tee shot chosen a minimum number of times. A two player team must have their tee shots chosen at least six times each, a three player team chosen at least four times each and a four player team chosen at least three times each.

The winning team is the one with the lowest score, which may be a whole number and a fraction. If scores are equal, a count-back is decided in the normal way.
