I practice often with a 5 or 7 with my feet together ball in middle half swings. My goal is to make the ball draw pretty hard. The exercise is to square the face and good contact. Spread my feet apart, lighten the rotation slightly and...

Old Waverly in West Point, MS, sight of the 1999 US Women's Open, won by Julie Inkster. A very playable course from the regular men's tees if you stay in the fairway; I have never played it from the tips. I have played it 4-5 times;...

First off, you should get clubs that fit your build and swing and that you are comfortable with. Looks are important to some, so that can be a factor in confidence, but less important than fit. As others have said many "players" or...

Last week on a short par 5 I was just off the right of the green in two. Took four more to get in the hole. Snatched a bogie from the jaws of birdie.

My group uses the double bogie rule, and for some double par. If you have a putt for double you take it, then pick up. Or if the course is crowded your putt for double is "good". A number of great suggestions have been offered, many of...

Well the OP did say golf club, so maybe one of the shafts i have replaced that I use for alignment sticks. I think you could hurt someone like that. I've been thinking of just pouring some lead in the end and making a sort of baton. If...

One of the larger golf stores such as Golfsmith should be able to fit you with a used, demo, or even new but last year(or two year) driver in the $300 range. Local clubmakers(which is usually my choice) can also accomodate you if you...
