Hey there,
I saw an advertisement for a pro shop attendant position at a golf course. What are the duties that an attendant does there? The pay is 8.50 an hour…so is it really that hard to do?

I’d like to purchase a driver for someone as a gift, but I dont know if/how they vary in size. (this is for a 6′0″ man w/ high handicap).
Ideally I’d buy one from a pro shop so he can exchange it, but I’d like the option of purchasing online…. any suggestions?

Golf club fitting can be a quick and easy way for you to improve your golf game. If you are looking for a driver, a hybrid or an entire set of irons, what should you consider to make sure you are happy with your new golf club or golf clubs?

Your golf equipment is very personal choice for you and as your clubs work for you, that is all that matters. No matter your skill level, you must like the club head design when you take your set up. If you do not feel like you can make a good swing with a club, you probably will not. What else should you consider when looking for new golf equipment? Here are a few more ideas.

1. With all of the golf club offerings available, you need to acknowledge your skill level. Each golf club manufacturer has offerings for low to high handicappers. As a high handicap golfer, you need to become familiar with the center of gravity or the CG of the club. You will want a low center of gravity as this will help you get the golf ball into the air and typically results in more distance.

The golf club manufacturers lower the center of gravity by moving weight around on or within the club head. With an iron head, the CG will be lowered by using perimeter weighting on a set of irons. It is harder to see how the CG is manipulated in most drivers, as the manufactures relocate weight inside the head of the driver. The lower your golf handicap, the center of gravity can get higher in the club head. A higher center of gravity will allow you to intentionally hit golf shots which make the ball move left or right.

2. It is important that you are able to hit the clubs off of real turf during a golf club fitting in order to see the entire ball flight before you decide to purchase a driver or a set of irons. In addition, buy your clubs from a PGA Professional that will use a launch monitor. The launch monitor will reveal such statistics such as swing speed, clubhead speed and the golf ball’s spin rate. This will allow the club fitter to find the correct shaft for you.

3. How do I find a qualified club fitter? I would retort with how do you find other professionals like doctors, dentists, etc.? Ask other fellow golfers, your friends and co-workers about experiences they had had good or bad. Also contact local golf shops and ask to speak to a qualified fitter. Ask him or her how the process of the club fitting will go and make sure you are comfortable with the professional.

Once you have found your golf club fitter, it is important that you armed with the proper questions to ask your fitter. In addition, remember the fitter is there to help you so do not be afraid to ask any question you might have. The proper questions to ask prior to or during your fitting are as follows:

- Is the professional certified by a major manufacturer to fit their clubs?

- How experienced is the PGA Professional?

- Will I be fit outdoors to see the entire ball flight?

- Does the PGA Professional have a fitting cart or multiple fitting carts with what you are looking for (Mens, Ladies, steel, graphite, right-handed, left-handed clubs) available?

- What will the session cost?

- If I purchase the clubs from you, will the cost of the club fitting be put towards the purchase?

- Will a launch monitor be used during the session?

- How the professional came to the conclusion of your specs? Make sure you understand how the conclusion is achieved and make sure you understand the logic.

Having a properly fit set of golf clubs is an easy way to improve your golf game. With the information in this article, you are well armed to find the correct certified golf club fitter, how to become comfortable with your fitter and what questions to ask to insure you receive a proper golf club fitting. You will be shooting lower scores with your new clubs very soon.

Have you ever considered how important the driver is as part of your golf equipment? There is a propensity for less inexperienced golfers to go out and by the biggest and meanest looking club in the golf shop but if it doesn’t suit your style, mainly your swing speed then you will be heading off into the trees in search of your ball more often than not following a tee shot.

Golf equipment should contain a small selection of drivers and in this report, we’ll look at some of the aspects required in the make up of this all important tee shot club.

Golf Equipment And The Driver

There are different variations to a golf driver and players will use them where appropriate. In a standard bag of clubs there are usually three… 1,3 and 5 wood however, the more experienced a player is, the more likely their golf quipment will contain more drivers. The head of the club is a topic of discussion. The larger heads are coming more into vogue today for several reasons.

It’s considered the bigger the head of the driver the more chance a player has of connecting with the ball in what is known as the sweet zone area. Take a look at the pro golf circuit today and it seems more and more professionals have a club in their bag with a larger head. They look a little ungainly in use but their effectiveness in gaining more leverage in power at the connection point seems unquestioned.

Club Weighting

Weighting of clubs is a vital component of today’s clubs as players can adjust the height they hit the ball or control shots such as a draw or fade. Slicers eager to find a quick solution to their problem may go for a club with more of a draw bias and vice versa for a player who tends to hook a lot.

With a larger club head on a driver, the launch angle to penetrate greater distances is higher and golfers today are tending to steer towards this direction. A driver with a higher loft degree is highly recommended although if you are a beginner and receiving coaching then check with your mentor first who may be keener for you to build a little more control into your game before you start to worry about head design features on clubs.

Golf Equipment-The Driver Shaft

How flexible should the driver shaft be? This is a perplexing question for average players who seem confused by the give in a shaft. It’s reasoned that the more flexibility a shaft has the greater power behind the point of impact. This is true in a sense but be careful you don’t waste money here unneccessarily. Why? Because shaft flexibility should be in relation to the swing speed of a person’s swing. The slower the swing the more flexible the shaft; the faster the swing, the less flexible the shaft for better accuracy.

I just bought a new driver and it had a small paint chip on the top edge. What should i do about it? if i bring it into a golf shop to fix it will the repair last a long time and will it look like brand new? Also how much does it cost to fix just a small chip? Will it be bad if i dont fix it and i play in the rain?
HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST TO FIX IT AT A GOLF PRO SHOP? WOULD THE REPAIR LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE CLUB?
the paint chip came with the club, i did not chip it.

Improve Your Playing Without Golf Schools

Just as golf balls, your golf club is essential to the game of golf. If you are under the impression that any golf clubs will suffice, then you clearly have not been on the course trying to use a club that is too short or too long. Trying to compensate for an ill-fitting golf club can not only make a shamble of your game but also leave you aching afterwards. Further, you are probably not hitting the ball at your best and, certainly, not enjoying the game as you would otherwise.

Is this to suggest that you must spend hundreds of dollars on custom fit clubs? This is not necessarily the case, though custom clubs are one solution. Most golfers can find proper clubs at a well-stocked golf shop or sporting store. I found my newest clubts at a golf courses in Alicante. Some factors should be kept in mind, though, when choosing the right club.

The length of the club is one of the most important factors, but not the most important. The size of the club’s grip is also important and should be comfortable for your hands, which is why young golfers as well as female golfers often have a smaller grip on their clubs.

If you prefer to get a custom set of clubs, the process is definitely not like being measured for a suit. The goal of the fitting is not only for the club to reach from the end of your outstretched hand to the ground, but also to allow for accommodate your strengths and weaknesses making the most of your body. Do not schedule a fitting session for your golf clubs and simply expect to be measured with a tape measure.Visit to : http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com

A quality custom fit session will probably take you outside as well as inside. Custom clubs with the best fit will be tailored to consider your swing also. Yes, it can easily turn out to be a fairly high golfing expense, but there are some options.http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com

Some major manufacturers of golf clubs charge only for the actual fitting, while many offer the fitting for free with a commitment to purchase their clubs. Many custom clubs are more expensive than clubs purchased from your local golf store or even a well-stocked shop at many golf courses. But, their effectiveness will be obvious once you are on the golf course.

If you are still in the decision-making stage, take a minute to consider the many shots you have been compensating for during the last few years of golf. This is especially true if you are shorter or taller than the “average” golfer, or have muscle strengths or weaknesses causing golf to be somewhat more challenging. Custom clubs are designed specifically to compensate for such needs.

If your game is still struggling, pricey lessons at golf schools may not be the answer. It could very likely be that you need to focus on providing yourself with the proper equipment. If you are going to invest in a good set of clubs, you may as well take one extra step and invest in a set of custom clubs to ensure your game is at its best! http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com
