TECHNIQUE OF GOLF, understand APPLY FOR THE BEST

 One of the most fascinating aspects of the course is its technical

Anyone who has tried at least once in a lifetime of hitting that little white ball to throw it up and away toward the hole, you will be surprised how hard it is to realize a goal that simple.
This makes the technique of golf a fascinating and mysterious, especially for the less experienced. There are many players hoping to improve their game, get lost in meticulous studies and subjective interpretations more or less stringent, then they find themselves systematically "out of bounds", to see concretely the ineffectiveness of alchemy golfing fetched home.
The fact is that the technique of course, for many amateurs, is a double edged sword: Whirl improperly before their game against ... better to trust the master weapon, at least for a correct grip!
In the technical section of this site, I will try to guide you through the learning of the concepts of the most important and effective technique for improving your game from tee to green. I will try to explain the technique of the samples, but also applicable to players with little experience.
The fate of a golf shot you decide everything in the moment of impact with the ball (the moment of trouth as the English say) and is based on immutable rules. The technique of course implies knowledge of ballistics and some basic principles of physics and biomechanics applied to golf. There is nothing mysterious professional approach with the technique of play. The basics of the swing has always remained the same and there has never been any revolutionary method, nor miracle recipe. Samples of today perform the same basic movements that performed the samples yesterday, but with small differences mainly determined the evolution of equipment, sportswear and athletic training to swing much more flexible and powerful.
Only the technical competence is therefore able to determine significant improvements in the game of all levels. And that is why the knowledge of the masters professionals, large and thorough in many years of play and meticulous studies on the technique and its applications are still skills essential for anyone who wants to really improve your score.

 The PGA Tour and the agent of Tiger Woods denied today that former No. 1 in the world of golf is out of the fields for a suspension for doping, as stated by Dan Olsen, the PGA Tour pro who does not participate in a tournament Use the maximum circuit since 2011. Olsen said Friday in a radio Michigan that "a credible person" would have reported that Woods would be suspended by the PGA for a month for failing a doping test.Now, of course, the denial by Mark Steinberg, Woods' agent, who issued a statement in which he denies any wrongdoing. "These accusations are absolutely, unequivocally and completely false. There is no source, are not verified and are totally ridiculous. The PGA Tour has already confirmed that there is no truth in these allegations. " Even the American circuit has denied the accusations made by Olsen.Bruised - Tiger started the season badly, after a 2014 full of physical problems in which it is finally back operation.

Hot List 2015

Do you know why there are 111 products in the Hot List this year? is a crazy amount, the highest in the Hot List since we moved in nine categories in 2010.The fact is that now there's all this great merchandise on the market. Of course, the sale of equipment is experiencing a downward trend. And the research firm Golf Datatech suggests that the enthusiasm of consumers in the purchase of new clubs is at best flat. It almost seems that golfers believe that all innovation is already possible. No way.The innovation in golf continues to intrigarci, and we know it. We have seen pretty much everything that is on the market, and we have never been more impressed this time. The goal of the Hot List is to review the panoply of new products that we believe will make a difference in your game, sticks that show us the possibility did not exist before.We spent three months to consult scientists, industry experts and players of all levels to get to the sticks most significant for our game. Which includes two weeks at The Wigwam Resort in Litchfield Park, Arizona, home of our annual Summit for the Hot List. In all, we reviewed 307 sticks to find the 111 most important. Innovation can be less extravagant than before-no one with a square driver? -but That's the point.Improvements exceptional today begin with attention to aesthetic that seems almost classical. The designers of sticks are no longer looking for materials, production techniques or buildings from theoretical benefits without being sure not to damage the first sound or the feel of the stick.Innovators of golf demonstrate a supreme reluctance to accept what seems obvious. Because this prevents us from seeing the possibilities within our reach.THE PARADIGM OF POSSIBLEdesigners draw on new concepts and even new types of research to improve the sticks. The products of the Hot List reveal an unrelenting passion for innovation, the obvious (movable weights) unaware (progressive sole width in irons). Why? Why can not improve things if you keep them in the same way. is why, for example, to which the test in the wind tunnel is almost a prerequisite in the design of the drivers of today. The value added is a driver that gives your old swing speeds never before.And is also the reason why the base of the face is becoming 'hot' as the center. All these channels, bays and slots accordion in the sole creates faces more elastic at the point of impact.is the reason for which the faces of the irons flex now as drivers. I do not think you can, as long as the companies have decided to see how they could make a thin sheet of steel. The result is a face that behaves as an impact driver.is the reason why the grooves of the wedge are larger and sharper since the rules have reported measures in the old days. Now the engineers calculated for each of the time required for the cutter cuts the edge perfect. And it is why we have the solution to the notice of the putter anchored a year before the rule takes effect.

Playing golf - terms and rules

One of the difficulties that may be encountered starting to follow or play golf is to disentangle between the terms (almost all in English) used to indicate the type of bat, different strokes, different areas of the course, scoring, etc. .. We try to give some information on the following terms are used to define the different areas of the course, unpretentious completeness, but just to clarify a bit 'ideas even to those who follow golf on television! Let's start from the end: the green is the area closest the hole where the grass is very short and meticulously edited to ensure maximum accuracy in the final shot, outside of this there is the fairway where the grass is a bit 'more high and surrounded by the rough area out of the path that should be followed to get the ball from the Starting in the pit.
The route is also often accompanied by obstacles, bunkers, sandy areas that are best avoided, close to the green, and the water hazard, depressions with water that is indispensable to climb over the ball, unless penalties. Finally there is the tee that indicates both the area bounded where to place the ball for the first shot, and the small accessory that is placed below it to make the shot.
In general, the golf course is also defined by the length of the path that is identified with the number of holes (9 or 18) and determines consequently its length, from a minimum of 1830 meters for a golf 9 holes at a minimum of 3660 for an 18.
Curiosity about the game of golf
Whether it is a sport that makes precision, patience and quiet its strengths as everyone knows, but really curious is the their vocabulary of this discipline, which is incredibly detailed as well as its regulation. Did you know, for example that dimples that lie on the surface of the balls have a name? Yes, they're called dimples. And if your ball ends up in a bunker (obstacle which consists in a sandy area of the route) is said to have made a fried egg and is what it's like to be poor ball in the middle of the sand! Have you ever heard mention of Pitch & Putt? It 'a shortened version of the classic game of golf: the pits are close together and consequently all par 3 (maximum of 3 shots are required to send the ball into the hole) and you can carry on field only 3 clubs contrary to standard games in which they allowed 14.
Vaguely ironic term Air Shot, which in other sports would call a "smooth": the intention was to take the ball, but in reality it is blatantly missed, hitting the air!
Another curiosity is not about the specific terms, but a specific risk you take in this sport; one would think the maximum at balls out of the way and actually this is a risk, but unfortunately many golfers are struck dead by lightning on field: the amount of metal present on the route causes often are depleted on the poor golfer holding the bat; to overcome that there are special alarms that are launched in the imminence of a storm to immediately stop the race in progress.
