If you are preparing to graduate any time in the near future and are planning on entering the business world, then the last place you need to be on your next school vacation break is somewhere on the beach. You not only must learn the game of golf but you must learn a "good game" of golf, because the truth is that many of the big decisions that are going to be taking place that concern you in your future career will take place on the golf course.

Learn to Play the Best that You Can

Will you be there when these decisions are being made? If you are there, will you be playing a "respectable" game of golf. That all depends on you and if you are willing to take the necessary steps to insure that you are there to represent yourself adequately when these informal conferences take place on the links. Sure you can learn on the weekends with your friends but you will always be the guy with the huge "handicap" that is always bringing up the rear.

Golf Vacation Schools Deliver Fast Results

The good news is that there is now a wide range of highly rated golf schools and academies that offer one week live in courses that use the latest video and biometric swing analysis techniques. This means that in one short week you will be playing the same level of golf as someone that has devoted months even years to the game. This is because, these proven techniques can immediately isolate problems in your swing, so they can be remedied.

You Will Be Judged

The truth is, like it or not, is that your peers and your superiors in the business world are going to judge you by your golf game. If you have a game that is lacking and have a high "handicap", then they will subsequently view you as being handicapped and lacking. On the flip side, if you have a strong game and hit the ball straight then they in turn, will view you as a being a straight shooter with strong game.

According to most keyword tools, this term is searched in the search engines over 10,000 times a month. What does this really mean? Is someone looking for clones, used clubs, low priced new clubs, etc...?

After searching for the term discount golf clubs in Google, Yahoo, and MSN I noticed about 60% of the top 10 listings sold discounted new clubs, 30% sold clones, and only about 10% were selling used clubs. My advice if you are searching for golf clubs at a great price is this:

If you are unsure of which brand clubs you are looking for, search for discount golf clubs, used golf clubs, and closeout golf clubs. If you are not looking for clones, disregard the sites that have clones in the title or description.
If you are seeking a particular brand of clubs, add that brand to the search string. Example: Taylor Made discount golf clubs
Do not rule out used clubs. Some are just like new, I have even seen some for sale that were still wrapped, and the savings are huge.
If you are only seeking clones, then add clones to your search string.

Club warranty is another item to look at when buying discounted or used clubs. The website you are purchasing the clubs from should state whether or not the manufacturers warranty is valid and/or their specific return policys.

Bottomline, be as specific as possible when searching for discount golf clubs. This will reduce your search time greatly.

Cleveland 588 Wedges - Chrome

2008-06-24T15:42:00.001-07:00

Cleveland Rtg 588 Wedge Tour Action 588 wedges are the industry benchmark for classic wedges. Made from 8620 soft carbon steel, these Tour-proven wedges have a traditional shape that promotes great feel for incredible touch around the greens.
Customer Review: Great Lob Wedge
Cleveland has long been known as a leader in the manufacture of wedges. The 588 has been the benchmark for all levels of golfers. Exceptional feel and touch from 60 yards and in, and can be used from sand bunkers with great results.

You might be amazed or at least surprised at how many players there are who work routinely on their swing but rarely (if ever) work on their grip. In this case, I mean the grip of their hands, not the rubber grip on the shaft. If you think about it though, the whole swing starts with the grip, which should increase its importance in getting it right.

If your grip doesn't work, why should anything that follows work?

There is a neutral grip for any golfer! That grip is where your arm hangs down from the shoulder socket and the angle of your target side hand. It makes no difference whether you use an overlapping, interlocking, or ten-finger (baseball bat) grip. What IS important is the angle the club lies in your hand.

To find your neutral grip, first take your address position, but without a club, and let both arms hang downward from the shoulder sockets. Stay relaxed, there should be no tension in your arms or hands. Most golfers find that their target side arm hangs somewhere between the middle of the target side thigh to the inside of the thigh, depending on the width of stance and or the width of the chest.

As you look down at your target side hand pay attention to the angle it hangs. Some of you will see two knuckles of the hand, some will see three, and some may even see four. It doesn't matter how many you see!

Whatever the number, this is your body's way of telling you its natural tendency and that is the neutral angle for your grip.

When you place your target side hand on the club it should be at the same angle you just saw.

The club then runs diagonally from between the first and second joint of the index finger to the base of the pinkie finger. Close the fingers and then close the hand with the heel pad on top of the shaft with the thumb to the backside of the shaft.

This supplies pressure from the heel pad downward and the last three fingers exert pressure upward. Then take the lifeline of the trailing hand, located between the thumb and heel pads, and place it on the thumb of the target side hand.

The lifeline against the thumb exerts the pressure. The right forefinger should be separated, in a "triggering position", but with no pressure. It is important to understand that the forefinger and target side thumb both be on the same side and angle of the shaft for the best support.

The trailing thumb should be on the target side of the shaft. You never want the thumbs to exert any pressure. Finally, in order for the hands to work together, they must be parallel to each other.

This may all sound complicated, but try it and see for yourself if finding the proper grip angle doesn't improve your shots.

Golfsmith Jetstream Iron Head (HAND: Right, HEAD:Sand Wedge)

2008-06-23T19:57:00.001-07:00

Like the Jetstream fairway wood heads, the iron head faces feature a strong S-290 steel with a super thin 1.9mm thickness. The deep undercut cavity removes mass that is strategically placed in the heel and toe to improve stability. Player testing results revealed that the S-290 received more votes for its soft, hot feel than other super strong steels that felt harsh to middle handicap players who prefer a soft feel. The beveled rear trailing edge on the sole provides clean contact and still allows for a wide sole to position the center of gravity back from the face. Chrome plating ensures long-lasting rich looks.

The power of your golf swing is directly influenced by the rotation of your hips. By turning your hips faster in your swing, you will increase the length of your drives and iron shots. This will generate more power through the speed of the rotation.

Many professional golfers have a very quick hip rotation in golf swing. It is very noticeable in the professional golfer Tiger Woods' shot.

During the down swing your shoulders rotate 90 degrees from your starting position and your hips rotate a little less than 45 degrees. The difference creates torque that gives you power in your down swing. The hips are the keys to power and when used properly they can increase the distance of your shots substantially.

Your hips at the maximum of your back swing should point above the center of your core just above your belly button. Your hips start the down swing and are the first movement of the downswing.

As the hips begin the down swing the shoulders should follow with the arms following the shoulders. If the shoulders lead, then the shot will be less powerful and can cause slices in your shot.

During the down swing you do not want to rotate the hips too much or too quickly. The swing should naturally transfer the weight from the back to the front in a fluid motion.

By gradually increasing the speed of your hip rotation in golf swing, you should see a great change in the power of your drives and iron shots.

Golfsmith Tour Cavity Forged Iron Heads (HAND: Right, HEAD:6)

2008-06-22T02:00:00.001-07:00

Carbon forged design Unique undercut cavity design Progressive bounce angles Designed for middle and lower handicap players the Golfsmith Tour Cavity Forged Iron heads provide a soft, solid forged iron feel with some increased forgiveness over traditional, compact forged irons. By going to a two-piece design and undercutting the back cavity, the center of gravity (CG) is moved back from face, giving performance previously not possible in a forged design. Repositioning the CG raises the Moment of Inertia (MOI) and increases stability. The S45C carbon steel face and hosel are forged separately from the back cavity to allow for an undercut cavity design, making it the first forged undercut iron available to custom clubmakers. Progressive offset from 6mm in the long irons to 3.5mm in the short irons. Loft and lie may be adjusted +/- 3 degrees. Bounce angles on the set start at 3° on the 3- and 4-irons and progress to 7° on the pitching wedge, allowing for lofts to be made stronger without the fear of creating a negative bounce angle.

In the last article we took a look at three tips that can help you improve your putting and lower score in this article we will do the same thing. Learning basic putting skills will help you lower your score and will have your friends amazed at how much better your scores and how much better your putting has become.

Tip Number 4-Mark Your Ball

When you are buying golf balls many of the golf balls today have a line drawn on them. But if you do not have a golf ball that has a line drawn on them get a sharpie and draw a straight line on the golf ball with an arrow on the end. When you read your putt and you feel like you have a line that you want to roll your golf ball on place the arrow facing that line and line your body up straight with the arrow. One of the biggest mistakes many golfers make when they are putting is they are putting to a line but their body is facing a hole. Getting the correct alignment to your intended target will help your putter face stay straight with the intended target through the stroke.

Tip Number 5- Use a Forward Press

When you are putting it is typical to stand over the ball and have your weight distributed on both sides of your feet. One of the easiest ways to make sure that you strike a true blow on the golf ball is to have a slight forward press which will move the putter handle in front of the putter face. Using a forward press will take some of the loft off of the putter so the ball does not skid once you hit it.

Tip Number 6-Buy the Right Putter for you

When you go to buy a brand-new putter go to a golf pro and asked them to help you pick out the correct putter size for you. Putters come in a lot of different sizes and getting the correct size putter will help you with your posture and make it easier to have a smooth putting stroke. The last thing you want to do when using your putter is to be slouched over this will not allow you to have a smooth swing and will cause you to miss a lot of putts and will drive your score up.

You have just read six tips for putting that can help improve your game, the most important thing you need to do is to practice your putting more than you practice your swing. Practicing putting is not near as fun as swinging your driver but it will in fact lower your golf score a lot quicker.
