dakaowen17 asked:

I’m using my dad’s old clubs right now, and they’re ancient. His driver is a low profile driver, so the club face is pretty small, unlike the beasts I see out there today. Can anyone recommend a decent driver for a golfer of my caliber. If not a specific one then just a good company I should check out. Thanks.

footballdude4532 asked:

I have been taking lessons for about a month and a half now and i want to get my own clubs. I have played on a course before and loved it. anyway, i want to know how i can see if i fit into adult clubs (I’m only 12). I’m 5’2″ and can hit the ball with the driver about 200 yards (yeah i suck). I wanted to see if anyone could recommend a set of decent beginner clubs. I don’t need all of the clubs, I just want Over sized Driver, 3 Wood, a Hybrid (recommended 4/5), 7-PW iron set, and a putter. I am willing to pay $180 or below (IT’S A BEGINNER’S SET COME ON!). I was checking this set out but it seems a little cheap to be true and its from KMart. http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_9990000049204911P?mv=rr Please help again I am 5’2″ and can hit the ball 200 yards with a driver (stop laughing).

I am getting ready to start taking lessons and I like the looks of the Wilson deep red golf club set available at Dicks. Is this ok for a beginner? Or is there something better for a similar price (~$300)?

Thanks!

GRUMP asked:

I’m a new beginning adult golfer and have been playing for about a year. I recently found a new golf instructor that I’m happy with and is finally fine tuning my swing. He found that I’ve been having trouble with my stance and took one of my clubs (Nike Ignite 6-iron) and measured it against a Taylormade 6-iron and found a significant difference in shaft length (the Nike over 1/4 inch shorter) (I’m 6′ tall). He had me hit the Taylormade Tour Burner and it was night/day…..the Taylormade was easier to hit since I wasn’t “hunched” over as much. I’ve been having trouble hitting my Nike short irons and find it easier to hit my 4, 5, and 6 irons. My instructor suggests new clubs since re-shafting and new grips may be close to buying new clubs. Does anyone have ideas? Does anyone know for sure if the Ignites are significantly shorter? My instructor suggests lengthening my clubs 1 inch….should I just use inserts (plugs) on my Ignites, re-shaft or purchase new clubs? Many Thanks!
Just to let anyone know, these were purchased as new clubs and have never been lengthened or worked on.
Just to let anyone know, these were purchased as new clubs and have never been lengthened or worked on. BTW, is re-shafting better than plugging with extensions (does plugging make the club weaker)?
Does anyone know for sure if the Ignite irons are indeed shorter than some of the other name brands out there?

–Phantasma– asked:

Hello, I am a beginning golfer. I have been having trouble with my swing. On impact, I tend to move my club to the left while the ball is being hit so it(as in the club) can come to my shoulder. Every shot I hit is now a hook. Please help me so I can end this nightmare.

abcd asked:

I am a beginning 14 year-old right-handed golf golfer. I can hit the ball (w/ a 3 wood) about 160 yards in displacement and 120 yards in lateral distance at the range. I choose to use the three wood becuase I have not control over my Sasquatch driver that was rented to me at lessons. My ball at the beginning gets a nice height and then curves absurdly to the right. I think it gets too much distance to be classified as a slice especially in comparison to other shots and this is happens 70% of the time.

atl_ace1 asked:

I am a beginning golfer and I notice that when allot of people talk about their game, they exxagerate the statistics or don’t accurately report the right score. A ton of people who I talk to say that they drive the ball 310+ yards but when I watch them actually play, it only goes about 275 to just under 300. Also, they say they usually score in the high 70s or low 80s, however when we play their score is closer to high 90s or 100s. Why lie about a gentlemen’s game?

ConnorWilhem3 asked:

I travel for work and have seen more than 5 First Tee golf courses. Although they are never full length courses, the conditions are so much better than the surrounding municipal courses. How are they able to charge so little and build great courses?

bluengrey asked:

This would have been about 20 years ago. Possibly in the April edition of some monthly publication.

The article stated that newly constructed golf courses were encroaching onto the just-discovered species habitat and some unfortunate golfers who ventured into the swampy rough would come out screaming with hungry frogs attached to their necks.

Since I have never met another person who saw the article I’m beginning to wonder if I just imagined or dreamed it.
