The Serapong (Sentosa Golf Club) - Tranquil Island is Golfers' Paradise Famous golf course designer Pete Dye once said, "The ardent golfer would play Mount Everest if somebody would put a flag stick on top." Indeed, the true golfer knows no limits when searching for a golfer's haven. The good news is that, contrary to our notion of how unreachable paradise usually appears, one can discover an accessible sanctuary within the confines of well connected Singapore. The 35 year old Sentosa Golf Club sprawls its 36 holes over Sentosa, a resort island at the south eastern tip of Singapore that plays host to over 6 million visitors annually. Luminaries from around the globe have set foot on The Serapong...

Following feedback they received from their staff of tour players, Callaway went back to the drawing board and decided to refine their already potent line of Callaway X Forged irons. Callaway has long been known as a leader in the industry when it comes to creating some of the finest drivers in golf starting as far back as when they were still making them with hickory shafts. The new line of Callaway X Forged irons is designed for the mid to low handicap player to help them develop a precision drive to tear up the course and cut a few more strokes off their game. These clubs still maintain the clean, simple lines that Callaway is famous for which is a big hit with traditional players. They feature a...

The Callaway FT-IQ Tour driver may be the most forgiving driver ever developed by Callaway. The concept for this driver is truly unique, and it may very well be the best driver ever designed by them. This club was designed with smart MOI (Moment of Inertia) technology that was taken from the Stealth Bomber and Formula 1 racing cars. Doing this has allowed Callaway to create a sleek club head with one goal in mind, straighter distance on the drive. The technology used to create the hyperbolic face creates a new cutting edge design. This produces much higher performance across the entire club face. What does that mean for us? Well, quite simply put, it creates the highest ball speeds ever generated...

Have you ever wondered what makes a golf course popular? Is it the presence of world class golfers there or the challenging courses it has? Or perhaps it's the natural scenery that makes the game more enjoyable? Whatever the reasons, here are some famous golf courses designed by renowned golf developers in the world: The Royal Calcutta Golf Club in India was founded in 1829 and is the oldest golf club in the world outside Great Britain. It got its royal status from King George V in 1911. It may look easy but the golf course is quite long - nearly 7,200 yards - from the back tees and has a lot of water hazards. In the past, the golf course also had a fair share of kraits - small, deadly snakes that...

The short answer is any one as they are all the same thing. They are all a cross between a wood and an iron utilising the best features of both. I shall use any name as I go depending on where my fingers are on the keyboard. A 3 or 4 iron will give you a decent penetrating shot with a fairly low flight trajectory and a corresponding roll. However this can be difficult to control with any great accuracy especially on a dry firm fairway. The reduced top spin produced by the average player with a long iron also gives a greater margin for side spin off the more upright face leading to a pronounced curve to the ball flight. A hybrid / utility/ rescue golf club with its lower centre of gravity helps to...

The last four or five years have seen Taylormade really establish their dominance when it comes having the best performed drivers on the Pro tours. This has most definitely translated across to sales for the manufacturer with the current model, the R7 being one of the most popular drivers in the bag of amateur golfers. The key to this popularity has been the ability to customise the driver to suit your individual swing by adjusting the weighting of the club head. This gave golfers the ability to minimise problems they may have been experiencing with a slice or a hook. Well Taylormade have taken that to a whole new level with the launch of the new model of their flagship range of drivers, the...

One of the first things you learn when you start playing golf is how to grip a golf club and this simple lesson probably leads to more problems for students of golf than anything else when it comes to putting. Why? Simply because you do not want to hold the putter in the same way that you hold the other clubs in your bag. So how should you hold your putter? Well, one of the most popular grips with both amateur golfers and tour professionals alike is what is known as the 'reverse overlap grip' which is specifically designed to keep the face of the putter square on to the arc of your putting stroke. So, let's break the grip down into just four simple stages. Stage 1. To understand this grip you need...

Short drives off the tee are one of the main causes of frustration for the handicap golfer. It would not be so bad if you thought you could hit at least some good drives during your round of golf but it rarely seems to happen. You know the despair this causes sometimes, when golf should be an enjoyable game. Other golfers hit their drives seemingly without difficulty, then why can't you do the same? The solution lies in the fundamentals of the game of golf. Here I am talking about the basics. The grip, the stance, backswing, distance from the ball at address, shoulder turn, and so on. Most important of all is the tempo of the golf swing. If you get this wrong you are denying yourself the chance of...

Golf carry bags are lightweight and practical. The problem nowadays is there are so many different designs and extras to choose from. For a lot of people the first consideration will be price, but once you know your range then you need to look at the other features offered by the bag. Follow these 6 steps and you will find the right bag for you: 1. Weight - This varies a lot, you can find bags as light as 3-4 lbs, but others can be very heavy. 18 holes is a long way to carry your clubs so make sure you do not pick a bag that is going to weigh you down. 2. Stability - A lot of carry bags now have an attached stand. This will obviously add weight, but it is a great feature as it makes it so much...

The rules in golf are fairly simple if you already know them, however explaining them could take a while. If you are not very familiar with the basics, the first thing you would need to know would be the main objective of the game: you have to hit the ball at the start or at the tee into the hole for every section in the course's 18 sections or 18 holes. The hole is located on the green, which is a piece of short and well-maintained grass. Once you are already on the green, you need to use your putter, which is the club that has a slab-like end, instead of your other normal clubs. Every hole has a specified target number of shots to be done from the tee to the hole. This is called the par. For...

This article seeks to make fun of the humble Golf club as some players have taken to using the Golf club as a weapon of death and destruction. It should not be taken seriously and is intended to offer uses for frustrated golf players. With golf catching on in high schools, inner cities, and the family based mini putt, all over the United States the time has come to appreciate the game of Golf. At the same time, many players (and maybe the wives of players) struggle with the skill and understanding, needed to master this game. It can become a passion that is testing to the impatient. Lets look at other, lesser-known uses for the Golf clubs: The Home Security Device The muscles used for swinging a...

In Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, he said the putter, driver, and wedge were the most important clubs, in that order. Ben Hogan, he reported, said driver, putter, and wedge. Penick went on to give the reasons for his order, but we never heard Hogan's reasons for his. Here they are, gathered from what I have read of Hogan's writings. Hitting a good drive puts you on offense. It leaves the ball in the part of the fairway here the green can be attacked, and even the pin. You should have a plan at the outset of every hole, and getting the ball off the tee into the right place is the key to carrying out your plan. Hogan off the tee wasn't interested in distance. Getting the ball "out there in the...

Golf clubs can be expensive. The problem is that expensive doesn't always equal better. So, when it comes to buying golf clubs, a new buyer needs to consider size, fit, weight, material and comfort. If all these elements aren't there, it won't matter how much the clubs cost. The truth is, if you can find a club that fits you well, is comfortable in your hands and gives you a good swing, it usually won't matter if it costs a thousand dollars or fifty. Keep reading to learn about club fit and weight and why it matters. Measuring Height: To determine whether a golf club is right for your height, you also need to think about its "lie." A golf club's lie is the angle from which the club head extends from...

Did you ever wonder how golf balls came into existence? The original "ball" was a small stone that the players hit with sticks into rabbit holes. Then someone had the bright idea of sewing several pieces of leather together to form a pouch that was turned inside out and stuffed with goose or chicken feathers. Once the pouch was full, it was sewn closed and pounded into a sphere shape. Then several layers of paint were put on it to seal it. These soft balls, called the Feathery, were rather expensive, but they served the purpose and were durable enough to be hit with clubs by players of all strengths and sizes. In 1848, a new ball was created, which was more durable and resistant to water. It also...

They are not the only ones - even hobby golf players who have taken week-end golfing training from instructors sometimes tend to get confused about the kind of clubs they should pick for themselves and this is no mean feat, so actually requires some information about the kind of club-head, grip and other finer details that go into the makings of a quality golf club. A lot of the main decision of which kind of flex rating to choose for the golf-club depends on the player's personal golfing style, which is undoubtedly the most important element of all in the kind of club you buy and the service it renders you. If you choose the right flex rating for your club, it will definitely have a positive effect...

There are 6 basic steps in the golf swing that each golfershould be aware prior to each golf shot. Step number 1 isbody alignment relative to the target. Start by standing 2to 3 yards behind the golf ball, with your body and the ballforming a straight line to the target. Pick out a guidingtarget directly behind and directly in front of the golfball that is in the line your body and the golf make towardthe target. These targets could be anything on the groundinches in front and behind the golf ball like leaves, grass,a broken tee, whatever. Focus on these ground targets thatfall on the line you picked out to the target as youapproach the golf ball. Step number 2 of golf swing involves club face...

The correct equipment is part of the game. Have you ever checked to see if your wedge size actually fits in with the existing set of irons you are playing? When we purchase a club do we ever check the size and the swing weight? Length and swing weight are two things that we have to make sure fit into our set to give us the best incremental distance control, the best feel, and the best accuracy on our clubs. A good way to check your iron lengths is by lining up the ferrules of your clubs on a straight edge table. This will tell you the incremental lengths of all your irons. Usually there will be a half inch difference on all your clubs all the way down to the pitching wedge. Now if you have a gap...

Is the golf club caddie a dying breed? Golf Club Caddies carry your bag, more importantly they give insightful advice and moral support. Caddies are a mixed bag, (excuse the pun!) young and old, men and women, beginners and 20 year pro's. They come from all walks of life, caddying for fun, for a living or as a sideline to earn a few extra bucks. As a club member or visitor what you require from a golf club caddie may be entirely different. Visitors who do not know the golf course will probably require the services of an experienced caddie who will help to make the player's day more enjoyable. The regular club member, knowing the course will probably find a caddie more suited to his personality and...

I read many positive reviews of the 320 Driver and thought that so many devotees of the product could not possibly be wrong. I bought a 7.0* S-90 shaft 320 brand new in November for $75. I played with it for the first time today at my local course. It was a wet, cool, spring day with temps. in the low 50's. (plugged lies with no roll). This was my first round of the season and I was swinging close to average which is as much as could be expected after 5 months of winter. My swing speed is 112-114 on average and have clocked 125MPH when everything is right. That means that a my trusty Ti Bubble 2 8.5* S-90, carries to a plugged lie in wet conditions about 270yds. It also means that I am capable of...

Of all the golf clubs out there, the wedge ones are the best you can use if you want to be successful when it comes to a golf match. These clubs resemble the iron ones very much, but they are heavier and the loft angle is a lot bigger. The pitch-wedge clubs are the most frequently encountered such clubs, their loft angle being of forty-six up to fifty-one degrees. Then, there are the sand-wedge clubs, which have a loft angle of fifty-four up to fifty-seven degrees. The wedge golf clubs not only send the ball higher, but the distance is also shorter and they are recommended in the most difficult situations which can appear on a golf court. For instance, you may have to hit the ball from a sand bunker...

Hybrid golf clubs, also know as utility clubs, are just what the name says. They are a cross between a wood and an iron. By combining the best of the woods and the best of the irons, the result is one that is easier for all players to use, and to make contact with the ball. While easier for all players, these specialized units are particularly suited to beginners. Because of their innovative design, hybrid golf clubs enable players to get the ball up into the air, cut down on the rate of missed hits, and the effects of mishits. For this reason, many of these specialized units are meant to replace long irons. If you are shopping for a new set, you should include some of these items that replace the...

Many golf courses have dress codes for both male and female golfers. I have seen people not properly dressed at a golf course be denied play because of what they were wearing. Below are a few golf attire choices that will be acceptable at any golf course. What should men wear on the golf course? Men have a few choices when it comes to golf wardrobe, the first being the pants or shorts. Khaki pants or shorts are usually the safe choice for most golfers, cut off jean shorts, cargo shorts and bathing suits should never be worn. As for shirts, male golfers should wear collared shirts. In the event that it is a cool day, sweaters or wind breakers are also permitted. What should women wear on the golf...

If you are new to camping, your first thought might be to browse the internet for some package holidays specific to camping. Though in theory this could be a good first approach, you will want to look for camping sites in the general area you wish to visit. However, paying for a campsite is not a matter of concern for some campers. Some prefer to experience "real camping" and choose free camping rather than reserving a campsite in advance. At first glance, this may seem like the better way to go especially since it is cheaper. But, if you are considering free camping, there are some sacrifices you will need to make in order to get the benefits. First, say goodbye to the amenities and camping...

A good swing plane is vital if you want to be a consistent golfer. The idea that separates the high handicapper and low handicapper is usually the ability to rotate your body, keeping the club on a consistent movement. This will help you to master the positions and develop a swing that stays the same because you will stop trying all those different tips and tricks that have done nothing to help you become a better golfer. One aspect of the golf game that is often overlooked by beginner-intermediate golfers is the golf grip. Mismanagement of grip tension, how loose or tight you grip the club, and hand position could throw off ones entire swing. Maintaining good balance throughout your swing may...

Does that headline create some curiosity in you? Are you wondering what the heck this is going to be about. As I came up for the idea to write about this, I wasn't quite sure myself. But then I thought, let's just go first to a book called "Quantum Golf" by Kjell Enhager. I first read this book a couple years ago, before I was trained in Neuro-linguistic Programming (I'm now a Master Practitioner). And to be honest, I didn't understand it at all. I even discussed it with my local pro and between the two of us, decided that it was a book that was better left to the psychology wizards. Lately, I've been extremely fascinated with learning about what is called "Quantum Physics" (What does this have to...

There are many different golf shot types that you will need to make in order to become a well rounded golfer. There are the obvious ones such as the drive and putt but it is often a case that the in between shots such as the chip and pitch that require a greater control and judgment of how strong your shot needs to be that can be more difficult to master. You may think that these shots are just the same as the others and all you need to do is hit the ball with less power to get them to land where you want them to, this isn't the case as a number of factors come into play when it comes to switching the type of shot you wish to take and how you want the ball to react. A key point that changes the shot...

Playing Golf when the weather is nice can be quite tough to get some time at your local course as there are often the usual golfers who play come rain or shine but there are also some of the 'fair weather' golfers who only seem to tee off when the sun comes out. This doesn't mean you have to struggle when getting a game of golf, many people will simply venture to other golf courses they may not have tried and make the most of the ideal conditions. Some golfers may go abroad and combine their love for the game with a holiday in the sun, Spain is a popular destination for UK tourists but also for UK golfers as well, with many Spanish Golfers on the PGA Tour these days it is worthwhile seeing what...

A lot of golfers will play golf a lot over the years and as they become experienced and reach the peak of their game you may feel like you want to teach others either learning the sport for the first time or those who are struggling and require a little guidance over particular shot types or issues with their shots. Becoming a golf coach is a great way to do this and many courses are seeking golf professionals to teach new members or become a resident golfing guru. There are quite a few requirements for becoming a legal golf professional or tutor and a lot of skills other than being really good at golf, for instance most professionals will have a very low golf handicap around 3. Most golf tutors are...

Beginning a game of golf is known as "Teeing off" as this refers to the tee which is the box or area where you take your tee shots from. On some courses these can be clearly marked with wooden borders creating a box effect but some more prestigious courses have a larger grass area with three markers that show where beginners and professionals should tee off from, sometimes there is a marker for women too. Teeing off and waiting to tee off is an important part of any golf game and there are quite a few elements of courtesy and etiquette you'll need to pay adhere to so that all golfers are given an even chance and respect when they step up to the tee. There are plenty of fairly basic measures such as...
