Make sure your shoulders, feet and club face are all pointing where you want the ball to finish. When you swing make sure you square the club face at impact. When you make contact with the ball keep swinging through to the target, and hold your finish.

A Shankapotomus is someone who loses a bet on a sporting event, but adamantly (and incorrectly) claims some technical rules violation by the winner and refuses to pay up.
In the famous E*TRADE baby commercial, Frank says, "But on the ninth hole, you moved your ball," thus implying that his loss was invalid. Since it is legal to take a relief from the cart path, Frank's objection is incorrect, so he lost. By refusing to acknowledge that he's wrong about the rule, Frank is a "shankapotomus."

The above definition has NOTHING to do with SHANKAPOTOMUS.
SHANKAPOTOMUS is actually a term used to insinuate that Frank hits a lot of SHANK shots, thus implying he's a HACKER. The SHANK is generally regarded as the most dreaded shot a golfer can hit. It is a shot where the hosel (heel) of the golf club strikes the ball on the downswing, sending it sideways instead of propelling it forward toward its intended target. A lot of golfers don't even like to say the word SHANK.

Yes. This is because in the center of a golf ball there is either a rubber or a liquid core. This means that when the rubber or liquid is heated, it is easier to move around. When the rubber or liquid becomes colder, the core becomes harder, thus making it harder to bounce.

Not really. It must be a junior or ladies handicap because the maximum handicap a man can hold is 28. A 30 handicapper would be struggling to break 100 so not a great handicap, unless you are a beginner.

There are a number of options that you have. If your swing speed is less than 75 mph you should use a senior flex. However, if it is between 75 and 85 you should use a Regular. Some senior players with very slow swing speeds use ladies clubs with ladies flex, these clubs are very light and it is very easy to get the ball in the air. Finding a good loft and flex combination is vital to ensure you get the best from your game.

Assuming that Tiger Woods would actually have the time to play a round of golf with a general member of the public, they would need to be very very wealthy. It would be at least a couple of million dollars. He is paid massive appearance fees of around $2-3 million dollars just to show up at a tournament.

Some say it is a PING! But some of the bigger drivers sound like someone has hit a stone with a biscuit tin.

Based on the World Golf Foundation's "The Golf 20/20 Industry Report for 2002," there were about 15,827 golf courses in the United States as of March 2003. Golf course characteristics information provided by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (www.gcsaa.org ) indicates that an 18-hole golf facility averages about 150-200 acres of total land, including water bodies, hard structures, and out-of-play areas. A typical urban golf course is only 110-120 acres, and courses in resort areas may be 170-190 acres (G. Lyman, GCSAA; personal communication 11/19/04). found @ http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/golf_course_adjustment_factors.htm

Dimples are placed on a golfball by a large machine called a Ball Stamper, made by American Industrial Equipment Corporation, which was first founded on February 22nd of 1842 by James Marshall Windham III. The first one could only place 2 of the 336 dimples on a ball in one second. It took almost 2 minutes to place all 336 dimples on one ball! The latest models can put all 336 dimples on the ball instantly, on up to 6000 balls at a time. That's over 2 million dimples at once!
