thegolfguru | The Complete A-Z Of Golf

thegolfguru The Complete A-Z Of Golf: "Even with simple golf swing lessons, instructional videos and store-purchased aids, your golf game will continue the way it has been without consistent and efficient practice.
Consistent cause practice sessions involve exercises that are meant to develop muscle memory. Efficient because pacing your energy to the kinds of exercises you'll do is important as well.
Simple as this point may sound, it is one that is easily overlooked. Many golfers think that as long as they spend enough time on the practice range, their score will improve.
Unfortunately, that is not necessarily so. To improve your golf game as well as your golf swing it is important that your practice sessions be as regimented as the way you play the game itself, or more.
Before you complain about how boring golf swing practices are it might help to think that golf swing practices are what build good playing habits when you hit the greens.
And if you approach your practice sessions as more than a chore your golf swing training results will provide you more pleasure on the golf course.
First of all, think of your practice session in the following three stages:
- Warm-up Stage
- Fresh Stage
- Fatigued Stage"

thegolfguru The Complete A-Z Of Golf: "Golf has been around for quite some time and the history of golf is quite interesting. In fact, it has been around for at least 500 years because it was outlawed in Scotland by James II in 1457 because it was interfering with the Scottish realm's archery practice. As a result you can see the game is quite old but who actually came up with the game is not known for sure although lots of countries like to claim it! It is believed that golf was born when shepherds who were out tending their flocks became bored and created a game by using their wooden crooks to hit round rocks into rabbit holes. That may not be the exact way golf was invented but it is the legend!
The game was originally played without greens and the holes were just open spaces in the ground wherever there was a space deemed flat enough. Grass was not kept meticulously short and the holes were very simply designed. Forget designed water features with waterfalls and beautiful landscaping. "

thegolfguru The Complete A-Z Of Golf: "The idea of mixing business and golf has been around for a long time. Why is golf such an important ingredient for business? That's easy: * Prospective customers * Clients * Referrals * Recruiting key employees * Developing businesses partners, vendors, suppliers and the like
Business encourages golf as a natural side for networking and to develop relationships. Corporate America spends billions of dollars and thousands of hours on business golf as it's no.1 pastime today. I've heard about many big business deals done at the golfing range and I don't see that changing anytime soon. It's a sport that's enjoyed all over the world and it's definitely not a cheap sport to get into. You got your clubs and your entry fee which could cost you the amount of a new car depending on where you play. It's not a sport for the poor and that is probably the appeal for business men or women because one must be serious about the game if they wnt to get anywhere.
Be on your best behavior when playing with a client. Business golf can be a very lucrative initiative for companies today, but it can also wreck a big deal if not handled properly. Your attitude on the golf course and your reaction to how you are playing may cause a client to lose respect for you, and that may keep you from closing a deal.
The most important thing to realize is that people will remember how enjoyable it was to play golf with you; no one will remember what score you shot. "

thegolfguru The Complete A-Z Of Golf: "Javea has everything you need for a perfect European get-away--a divine climate, crystal-clear waters, spectacular scenery, water-sports, shopping-- and the Club de Golf Javea. The Club de Golf Javea is a nine-hole par-72 golf course in delightful surroundings. It offers two practice putting greens, a driving range, two tennis courts, a large swimming pool, and a small paddling pool for the kids. Simply put, the Club de Golf Javea is an entertainment centre for all the family - and a real treat for golfers too!
The Jewel in the Crown - Aside from the magnificent golfing facilities, Javea is seen as the jewel in the crown of the Spanish Costa Blanca for other reasons too. The main attraction is the peace and tranquility of the location. There aren't many hotels here, which is great if you are looking for a quiet vacation.
In such a tranquil spot you should take some time out to enjoy the 'Amanacer de Espana.' This is one for the early riser as it means the 'dawn of Spain,' since it is one of the first places to catch the rays of the rising sun. For late-risers 'Montgo', the dramatic mountain that rises up behind Javea, is well worth exploring. With so much scenic beauty on offer it is little wonder that thousands have come here, fallen in love with the place, and ended up staying here permanently, or buying a holiday home in the region. "
