Building a backyard putting green is like taking part of the local golf course home. You can tap a few balls after work, or avoid a crowded golf course altogether one day if you’re not interested in dealing with the crowd. You can entertain your children and their friends, and even use the home putting green as a centerpiece to your outdoor entertaining. If you enjoy using golf videos to improve your game, you can spend some time inside with the video, then head outside for an immediate dose of benefit from the instruction.

So important is putting to golf that it has its own tokens to mark ball placements on the putting green. These tokens are used often. There seems to be some mystery involved with the origin of the ball marker tokens. No one really knows when or where they first appeared. Their manufacture seem to go as far back as 1941.

Now that summer is upon us and the fairways are relatively dry a lot of us are thinking about optimisong the distance we can drive the ball from the tee.

We’re looking for lower scores, so we’ve got to have the right set up when we stand on the tee to use our weight ptoperly.

So, put a stick or something,on the ground, inside your right foot, and when you reach the top of the backswing, your chest should be over that stick.

If you are a “golf junkie” like I am, you are always looking for ways to improve your game, since you are reading this you probably fall into that category. One of the easiest ways to improve your golf game is to keep your stats. Let’s face it, if you are not trying to improve your game what’s the point? I often find myself playing golf with high handicap golfers ( not that there’s anything wrong with that), but I find it interesting that a lot of times they don’t keep their score. How can you expect to improve your game if you don’t keep score? Seniors are notorious for this, but senior golfers are on most occasions on a different agenda, a lot of senior golfers are just out for exercise and commodore, and God willing, I sure hope I make it that far. For the rest of us that are trying to play better golf, keeping stats on your game is a must.

If you want to play golf effectively, then you must first learn to play golf consistently. Having a consistent golf game is something that most PGA champions can’t really boast of. Having a game that is consistently better than the average golfer however, is something they can.

Are you one of the 80% of golfers who never break 100? That’s correct; according to statistics fewer than 1 in 5 amateur golfers ever break 100! If you fall into the category of weekend golfer who plays with the same group of players, who hits about the same score every week, with an occasional par or maybe even a birdie in your round, who loses a couple of bucks at bingo, bango, bongo or a $2.00 Nassau bet, you could likely benefit from some kind of golf training. Many golfers can improve their golf swing just by going to the driving range, many more just end up practicing the same flawed golf swing until they get really good at it. These are the golfers who really need some sort of golf training aid or program in order to improve their golfing skills.
