After all, their intent was to manufacture golf clothing and woolen garments from the wool that was available...

When watching golf on television, one cannot help but wonder how men and women can make millions of dollars playing a game that looks so simple. Honestly, who can't hit a ball into a hole with 4 or 5 tries? Ahh, but golf is another one of those "finer arts", and it can take years and years of practice before you break par - let alone try for those birdie thingies!

One of the most common errors that I have seen with amateur golfers is that they do not know how to grip a golf club properly. Does it matter? Yes, it does. If you do not have complete control over the golf club, then the club head will open and close too easily and it will lead to stray shots. Your grip also allows you to swing the club in the right path on the backswing and follow-through. You do not really want to experience golf like famous baseball player Hank Aaron. As he said - "It took me 17 years to get 3000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course." How to hold a golf club is the number one fundamental in golf. Every PGA or LPGA professional has an excellent grip on...

One of the most talked about questions in golf is how to drive a golf ball straight. You might already know that most golfers hit the ball to the right (left for a left handed player). That shape of shot is called a fade if it only drifts a few yards off centre of where you are aiming, or it is named a slice if the ball races sideways, often 20 yards or more. Of course, for a slice, it normally ends up in the trees, in a water hazard, or out of bounds. And that costs you penalty strokes and can ruin your game and your fun. So, what is the secret to hitting the ball down the centre of the fairway? How do the PGA professionals like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and others drive the ball so...

One thing you must have is the golf glove, which is made of microfibres with lycra and which you can find both for the right and for the left hand. Such a glove costs around ten euros and if you are worried about the cold season, you can fin pairs of gloves, which...

It takes years and years of practice to get good at any sport, let alone golf. The key is that you need to be patient with it and you need to practice at it.

Once you're at the driving range, make sure to work on hitting each one of your clubs. Start with your woods and work your way down so...

Fitting a big grip to your putter is a quick way to improve your putting without taking a lesson. Tilt forward from the hips and let your arms hang naturally under your shoulders. You will notice that the palms of your hands are level with each other. This is how your body balances itself without interference. This is also how you should place your hands on your putter - the best anatomical fit, so to speak. Up until now this side-by-side position has not been possible as the circumference of the standard putter grip is too narrow. There is not enough bulk in the grip to comfortably accommodate your hands. In putting you want your hands to be neutral - ideally not involved in your putting stroke at...

Choosing the right golf clubs for your style of play is an important part of playing the game. If you are new to the game of golf you may think that all clubs are the same, but you'd be totally wrong. When watching golf on television it appears to the untrained eye that all the golfers swing the clubs in the same way, but again you'd be totally wrong. Each person will swing the club in a slightly different way each time they use it, and each person will also swing the club differently to the next person. The better the golfer you are then the less the difference will be (in your own swing), with the top players reproducing shot after shot, but there will still be a very slight difference (it's what...

This is adequate for many people, but others prefer to customize their carts, and there is no better way to do this than by using golf cart parts.

Cart rentals typically look the same with the exception of three wheels versus four...

The latest buzz word in golf equipment manufacturing is "Moment of Inertia" or MOI for short. But what exactly is it and how does it affect your golf? What is MOI?
