The Tours most arrogant as voted by his peers, Rory Sabbatini has done it again The five time puller champion pulled out of Tigers Target World Challenge with his Agent citing shin splinters as the reason. He was 28 strokes behind Tiger, in last place going into the final round when he decided to head to Hawaii for his annual family vacation. Apparently feeling some guilt for leaving the charity benefiting event he gave away shoes and sweaters, although the locker room attendant told one of our Slice Girls that he bumped his head and wasn’t thinking straight. As usual, players just shook their heads at Rory’s latest dumber than dumb move with Fred Couples asking “They don’t have any flights to Hawaii tonight?” adding he should give his 170,000 last place check back to charity. Mark Calcavecchia wrote it off as “Rory being Rory” adding “I don’t think the fans missed him” and The Open champion Padraig Harrington summed it up best when saying :Is there anything you can say about it”? Pausing before going on “I don’t thin there is”. Tiger was asked if he minded the puller pulling out and a cold hard stare was his reply. If you want to find out more about the tosser that is Rory Sabbatini check out his website rory sabbatini.com which features the cheesiest flash intro you’re likely to see inside the PGA Tour.

Addicted to Crack – No Worries There’s Free Golf
If you’re addicted to crack, heroin or any other kind of drug, head to Hartlepool England where junkies can enjoy free golf equipment and gold through the local governments Drugs Intervention Program. Since the program starting there’s been a noticeable drop in crime with offences such as burglary, robbery and thft dropping by 27 percent. Over half of the people in the program are encouraged to take part in sport and of them, 90% are keen on golf. GOlfuncut forum moderators Bucky n Lucky the golf doggies were somewhat perplexed when opponents of the program called the scheme “barking mad”, and those who oppose the program think there are better ways to get junkies off drugs. "We have youngsters in the town who can't afford these activities and they are being penalised. I think it's all wrong." says Victor Tumilty, who represents the Grange ward on Hartlepool Borough Council adding “We are catering for people who have drug problems brought on by themselves.”. Both sides have good points but we agree with counciller Alison Lilley who says "Anything that helps people get off drugs I would support 100 per cent”.
Appleby Says Shark is His Bo Derek
Stuart Appleby has been know to get Tiger Wood but now he’s made public he also gets Shark Wood. At the recent Australian PGA Championship Appleby told the press “"Australian golfers are feral compared with Greg Norman. I use the analogy that he's our Bo Derek, the most beautiful 10 you could ever get - the most perfect thing that we all admired. We're all a bit feral. We're all just scrubbers in comparison." He didn’t stop there adding “In Australian golf, we've produced some great crops, to use another analogy - but we just haven't had a Shark vintage," Appleby added. "Once you've had a supermodel, everything else doesn't look as good.” We’re not quite sure what brought these comments on but The Shark, being the man he is, has just announced his engagement with tennis great Chris Evert, erasing all doubt that him and Appleby were planning a golf world shocker. Appleby is one of our favourite tour players here are at golfuncut and you certainly cant argue that the Shark was a perfect 10 in his heyday.
Faldo and Monty Bitchslapping Looms
Mrs Doubtfire lookalike Colin Montgomerie has revealed has hasn’t spoken to Nick Faldo since the 3 time masters champion accused him of not being a team player about two months ago. Faldo talked to the media saying Mrs Doubtfire’s missing three of the five team meetings at The Heritage was “disappointing” and added that Monty was the only player “who’s emotions I had to deal with”. At last years ryder cup Monty was noticeably the only player not to join in the celebrations on top of the K-Club clubhouse and has a repuation for not being “one of the boys”. Monty responded somewhat diplomatically to Faldo’s comments writing “We haven't been in touch since, but I really don't think that matters. We have known each other for years and have a lot of shared history and I am confident that both of us can move on from here without anything being said." If Monty plays his way into the team, or happens to be one of Faldo’s wild card picks it will make for an interesting team spirit amongst the Europeans at the 2008 Ryder Cup which is to be held at Valhalla n Kentucky. We hope for everybodys sake that Faldo and Mrs Doubtfire will be thinking of birdies and not bitchslapping when it comes time to down the Americans.
Justin Timberlake To Bring Some Sexyback To The PGA Tour
The PGA TOUR today announced that four-time Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter, record producer and actor Justin Timberlake will become the host of the TOUR’s Las Vegas event, which will be renamed the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. JT becomes only the 14th celebrity in the history of the PGA Tour to host his own event, joining legends such as Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis JR. The agreement between Justin and the tour is for five years but a little birdie told us that PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem would love to give him another 5 in return for Justin giving Tim a private performance of his sexyback dance routine, although we can’t officially confirm it.
Justin has this to say about his newest endeavour which is bound to bring more cool cats into the game of golf ““I couldn’t be more excited to host the upcoming 2008 Las Vegas tournament and to be involved with the Shriners Hospitals for Children. We will make sure to make this event unique and memorable, and we will raise money for charity while participating in the greatest game ever played. I thank the PGA TOUR and the Shriners Hospitals for Children this amazing opportunity. Raising money to better children’s lives while playing golf? I can’t think of a better way to pass the time.”. The tournament will be part of the TOUR’s Fall Series, will be played October 13-19, 2008, at the TPC Summerlin. This is one of our Super 6 Fantasy Golf events so you can show your support by signing up to play fantasy golf and playing this event in our exclusive fantasy golf league.

Michelle Wie You Go Girl, As In Leave Until You Got Game
Michelle Wie’s 2007 was about as successful as Rory Sabbatini’s attempts to bring down Tiger Woods. We don’t like to dish anybody but we think its time for Michelle Wie to take a break and let some other players have a chance at glory. Michelle entered 8 LPGA events in 2007, missing three cuts, withdrawing twice and playing 367 holes in 110 over par. She still attempts to play against the men but missed the cut in the Sony Open by 14 strokes and withdrew from the John Deere Classic citing injury but its quite obvious she’s a quitter, and should stay away from all golf until she learns not to give up. Ironically, another one of her agents quit on her, and the word from tour insiders is that her father is just too difficult to work with. Wie made a statement at the Samsung that she should of taken more seriously saying” I Should have just not played”. We concur.

Tiger Woods Wife Elin Nordegren Golf Video
In this golf video: Tiger was introduced to Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren during the 2001 British Open when she and twin sister Josefin were working as nanny’s for Jesper Parnevik. It’s not know exactly what moves Tiger busted on Elin but we wouldn’t be surprised if he did the old wedge bouncing trick in order to secure a first date. Elin was a former swimsuit model and can check put some of her modeling pics in our photo gallery. Despite some reports she has never posed naked and the photos at this link http://www.curlydavid.com/twoods.html are not Elin as claimed, but playboy model Kim Hiott. Elin's mother, Barbro Holmberg, is a politician and former migration and asylum policy minister of Sweden, while her father, Thomas, is a radio journalist who has served as bureau chief in Washington, D.C. for the Swedish Broadcasting media. After three years Tiger finally built up the courage to ask for her hand in marriage in South Africa to which Elin agreed shortly after watching two zebra’s mating. Their wedding was at an exclusive resort in Barbadoes and was reported to have cost 1.5 million. The media and paparazzi were kept at bay by booking the islands only helicopter charter company and booking all 200 rooms in the hotel.
The Only Person That Tiger Takes Crap From
Yes that’s right, we no longer have to wait for Tiger to take crap from somebody because Baby Sam has been born. Golf forums, golf video blogs and websites around the world have been buzzing with the news. The quote of the day goes to a digg.com user who quite innocently wrote “I don't get it. Why is this news? Is the baby a mutant or something? If only he knew. The press were given these few photos to eww and ahh about and told to rack off and respect their privacy. There was a report that Elin was seen playing with razor blades precariously close to Baby Sam but that report was later confirmed as Britney doing some lines with her Baby sitting close by. Baby Sam will have an interesting race with Tiger being one-quarter Chinese, one quarter Thai, one quarter African American, one-eighth Native American, and one-eighth Dutch and Elin being Swedish. We can’t figure out exactly what that makes Sam so we’ll just call her cute and go make some more golf videos.
The Houses That Tiger Built Golf Videos
Tiger has three houses, or four if you count his yacht privacy, which could easily be a home for most of us. His main house at present is in Windermere Florida. Here’s the link. (see it in the golf video) Tiger also bought a 10 acre Jupiter Island estate for a reported $37,000,000. The property extends from the Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean and includes four houses, the main house, plus two guest houses and a beach house. There’s also two boat docks, tennis and basketball courts but Tiger and Elin think it’s all a bit wishy washy and intend to tear it all down and redevelop the entire property. Check out this pick here (watch the golf Tiger woods golf video). Tigers love for blondes was possibly behind his decision to buy an entire floor 3,000 square foot luxury apartment in Stockholm, Sweden. You can see it on google maps here (see it in the golf video!). Finally, not wanting to be too extravagant, he keeps a modest condo in Manhattan beach in Cypress California. Rory Sabbatini has threatened to huff, puff and blow a couple of them down but so far has just managed to break wind.
Tigers Weapons of Mass Destruction Golf Video
The most asked question in our Tiger Woods golf video forums is what clubs Tiger Woods uses. While he may change some clubs and specs form week to week, here’s a look at the latest weapons he uses to cause mass destruction in the golfing world. His heavy artillery is a Nike Sasquatch 460 CC with 8.5 degrees of loft with a Mitsubishi Diamana Blueboard 83X shaft. His 3-Wood is Nike Sasquatch 15.0 degree with a Mitsubishi Diamana Blueboard 103X shaft. He occasionally gets in touch with his femine side by carrying a Nike T40 5 Wood. His irons are custom Nike forged muscle backs with Dynamic Gold X100, 1 degree upright, D4 swingweight with standard size tour velvet grips. His light weapons are a Nike Pro Combo 56 degree Sandwedge and Nike SV Tour 60 degree lobwedge. His weapon of choice for close up combat is Scotty Cameron By Titleist Studio Stainless Newport 2 putter with standard loft and lie, 35 inches long. His grenade is a prototype Nike One Platinum, the only ones with “Tiger” on them. Don’t expect to find any of these at your local discount golf store. These clubs are specially made for Tiger and unless you too can hit a 360 yard soft draw with your driver, getting Tigers clubs and specs would do serious damage to your game and your ability to watch our golf videos!

How You Can Beat Tiger Woods Golf Video
If you’re thinking about turning Pro and getting in Tigers face here’s a few little tidbits that might give you an advantage:.
Number 1: Tiger’s kryptonite is garlic. Apparently’ he’s allergic to garlic so you might want to put some cloves in his bag before the start of his round to give you a good start.
Number 2: Butch kicked up a stir earlier this year when it was revealed he’d been been a bit of a tell tale and told Phil that one of Tigers secrets was that he walked slower during times of pressure to slow down his central nervous system
Number 3: Tiger gets hacked off when people take photos during his swing. If you’re going to compete against him, have a team of photographers snapping away on his downswing. Be careful though, if he finds out it was you he’ll get angry and go whompo. Ask Rory and Stephen Ames what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a tiger whompo.
Tiger also recently revealed he carries one of his fathers teeth with him at all times and has done so since the age of 12. If you could somehow temporarily force him to part with this tooth we believe half his powers would disappear and you’d then be competing against a half super-hero.
To find out even more about Tiger we suggest watching the Tiger Woods Authorised DVD Collection, which we review in one of our other Tiger Titallation golf videos.

Ever Seen Tiger Not in Nike?
This golf video is in response to a question in our golf video forum, which asked “has anybody ever seen Tiger not in Nike since turning Pro?”. Naturally, we spent the next week on the Internet trying to find pics of Tiger not in Nike, and surprisingly, or not surprisingly, came up a bit like Sergio in the majors – empty handed. In 2000, Nike extended their contract with Tiger for a reported $105 million. Since then, Tiger can be seen in Nike outfits off the course and even in advertising other products including American Express, Accenture, Buick, EA Sports and Tag Heuer. This doesn’t cost Nike a thing and would lead us to believe that wearing Nike 24/7 is part of his contract, which would be quite understandable at $105 million. A Nike spokesman was once quoted as saying there would be “some level of disappointment” if Tiger chose not to wear Nike in these appearances but went on to state there would be “no break in contract”. So the bottom line is that you are unlikely to see Tiger out of a Nike shirt, cap and/or trousers anytime in the near future.
Tiger Woods Paints The Mona Lisa Golf Video
Tiger Woods has officially announced he will design his first course in America, home of the brave and land of the free, and not, in any uncertain terms, “Gods own” as some tosspot report has suggested. The course is part of The Cliffs at High Carolina, one of several toffee-nose upscale developments in the Carolina Preserve connecting North and South Carolina and easy access to Asheville, which has received some sweet awards including:
-Top 10 places to buy a second home by MSN Money
-One of the 5 best places to retire by Money Magazine
-#1 Adventure Town in America by National Geographic Adventure
-The Best Golf Experience in America by national Geographic Adventure
Tiger got Wood when he saw the site saying “When I got to the top of the mountain and saw those meadows, I knew this would be the site of my first American design. I hope this will become one of the most talked about views in the country.” The land lends itself to a walking golf course. Walking is integral to golf and it will be very unique to have a walking golf course at elevations up to 4,000 feet” Tiger rapped.
The course will be The Cliffs 8th course, which has 2 Nicklaus designs, 2 Tom Fazio Designs, a Gary Player design and couple of courses by dudes you won’t have heard of. To see more about Tiger Woods Design, check out his website.
The golf galaxy offers everything for the golf games. The baseball and the lacrosse game equipments are also available on the online sport shops. The baseball bats are well designed and made from the best materials to ensure a long term use. The golf vacations are given to the professional golfers to enjoy the game in diverse locations and weathers.

Tiger Woods Vows Not To Do A Tommy Lee
Tiger Woods’ monster yacht is named Privacy, perhaps because he an Elin didn’t want another Tommy Lee/Pamela Anderson episode. It’s unlikely we’re going to see any holiday snapshots of Elin and Tiger smoking some reefer on the deck, but here’s a few nifty facts about his little toy: The yacht is a 155 Trideck Motor Yacht known as Hull 026. He bought it when it was two-third complete, allowing some Tiger customization that includes: a 50-inch plasma TV that swivels so he can watch unlimited replays of his most memorable fist pumps, three SeaDoos, two oceangoing kayaks, a pair of Vespa scooters, and six large helium tanks (A Pro divers wet dream)
The man himself was reported not to have even set step in this baby before delivery and sent black-belt yacht shopper Elin to do the dirty work. “I think they were looking for something that created a very light environment inside a very warm shell of paneling,” says Portland, Oregon-based interior designer Carol Williamson, who also wouldn’t confirm or deny ownership of the yacht. “There was a desire to have very clean, simple, understated lines to the furniture. The idea was to contrast the modern against the traditional wood detailing.” Tiger was actually photographed on board this but we wanna stay on Tigers good side and refuse to reprint any of these pics. To see more details about Tiger Woods’ yacht, go to this web address that’ll be on screen now.

Rule 45 – Thou Shall Not Dare Challenge Tiger
In Tigers Authorized DVD collection Charles Barkley makes a good point that it aint trash talk if you can back it up. Today we examine a few players that have tried to trash talk tiger only to end up with tiger egg on their face. The first, latest, and perhaps stupidest, is Rory Sabbitini who is kinda like one of those annoying toy dogs with a piercing bark. You desperately want to kick it as soon as no one is looking. Anyway, less than a week after shooting 74 compared to Woods 69 to win the Wachovia, Rory pipes up “I think he’s more beatable than ever. The following week he plays with Tiger in the final round and shoots another 74 to Woods’ 65. Do we really need to say anything?
Other attempted challenges at Tigers domination include Vijay Singh at the 2000 Presidents cup when Vijays caddie wore a cap with “Tiger Who” on it. Tiger beat Vijay 2 and 1, but the match was memorable for the fact that not a single putt was conceded by Tiger. To Paul Tesori’s (Vijays caddie) credit, he came up and said “Hey, bro, I meant no disrespect to you at all, to which Tiger replied “Whatchoo talking about Tesori”?
Next on the list is Stephen Ames 2006 Word Accenture matchplay words of wisdom. When asked about his matchup with Tiger, Ames jokingly said “Anything can happen, especially where’s he’s hitting the ball”. Tiger went whompo, won the match and when asked about Ames comment replied “9 and 8”, the result of the match.
The only golfers to have beaten Tiger head to head seem to be those that shut up and pay him some quiet compliments. There’s a lesson to learn from all of this: Let your clubs do the talking.

Tiger Gives Appleby Wood
In a recent interview with golf digest magazine, Stuart Appleby indirectly admits Tiger gives him Wood. Appleby is one of the nicer and most liked players on tour and has some intelligent things to say about Tiger “To have him at the helm, the best golfer in the world, maybe the most famous athlete in the world, is tremendous for our sport. He’s a consummate professional. Can you imagine if Tiger, with all his credentials, was an a--hole? Representing golf? We’re lucky he is who he is. And people don’t see the other side of him. He’s funny. Very funny.”
Appleby also has probably the best comments about Rory saying “First of all, they’re different people in every way. Tiger is a man of action. Rory is a man of words. Rory has a great deal of belief in himself. I’m sure that confidence is one reason he is where he is. But he likes that First Amendment, even if what he said about Tiger is bull. Rory lets his mouth move before his golf club. He leads the FedEx Cup points race in that department—comfortably.” Stuey also has some very intelligent words on Phil Mickelson, so go check out the interview over at golfdigest.com. Good on ya Stu, you’re a legend and no wonder Tiger lets you be his neigbour. You can tee off with The Slice Girls anytime!

Tiger Skips Barclays, Causes Mayhem
Tiger Woods has decided to skip the Barclays, which is causing a bit of stir in the golfing community. Many folks, including tour head honchu Tim Finchem have expressed disappointment in Tiger not playing saying that he’s not supporting the season ending Fedex Cup. The four tournaments starting with the Barclays are supposed to renew interest in the tour during a usually quiet time. Much hated and once voted “most arrogant tour player” by caddies, Rory Sabbatini, has publicly said he thinks Tiger should play, to which Tiger should have replied “Speak to the hand monkey face”.
Golf forums around the web have also had little gits voicing their opinion with one punter stating “Tiger should play the Barclays, he’s not bigger than the game”. We agree, Tiger isn’t bigger than the game because he IS the game. Tiger has done enough for the Tour and the game and the fedex cup is just like any other events on the tour in that players may choose whether they play or not. So all you Tiger haters, shut up and let the man do what he does best, which is play in a limited amount of tournaments, and play golf like it’s never been played before.

Tiger 2nd Most Powerful Celebrity
Tiger Woods has been ranked number 2 by Forbes in their 2007 100 Most Powerful Celebrities. Tiger raked in over 100 million US dollars in a year, the first athlete to do so in history according to Forbes. To generate the list, Forbes analyzes celebrity earnings, plus media metrics like Google hits, press mentions as compiled by Lexis/Nexis, TV/radio mentions from Factiva and the number of times an A-lister appears on the cover of 32 major consumer magazines. Earnings estimates are for June 2006 to June 2007 and consist of dollars earned solely from entertainment-related income. Management, agent and attorney fees have not been deducted.
Phil Mickelson is the next golfer on the list coming in at #16 between a David Beckham/David Letterman sandwich. In comparison, Tiger is between an Oprah and Madonna sandwich, which we’re sure has some hidden meaning. But what we really wanna know is what is Tiger going to do with all this power? We’d like to see him use this position to acquire even more money, buy some more houses and open a Blacks only golf club in Harlem. You can check out the entire list at forbes.com

Tiger Delivers Ass Whoopin’ At Tour Championship & Wins FedEx Cup
The chosen one shot a ho-hum final round 66 to win the Tour Championship by eight shots and take the FedEx Cup and the 10 million that goes along with it. On his way to winning the FedEx Cups final event he beat Masters Champion Zach Johnson by 8 shots (as well as rubbing it in by hitting into him on a Par 5), British Open Champ Padraig Harrington by 16 strokes and World No 2 Phil Mickelson by 18 Shots. Also along the way he broke the Tour Championship scoring record by 6 shots. His last five tournaments he played in a combined 75 under par and Steve Williams let one out of the bag when he announced “he hasn’t hit a practice ball since the British Open. The win was Tigers 61st Tour victory and brings his 2007 earnings to 10,876, 052, the 2nd highest next to Vijays 2004 season. However, Vijay took 29 tournaments and Tiger only 16. He also pockets the 10 million for winning the FedEx Cup but has to wait until he’s at least 45 until cashing in. Somehow we don’t think the wait will bother him.
Tiger Ready for Slam in 2008?
The great one seems to be preparing for a Wood-inducing 2008. They say the stats don’t lie and other than the fact he only won one major, his 2007 was reaching his god-like performance in 2000:
- He finished with a 67.79 scoring average, the same as in 2000
- He won 7 from 16, his 2nd highest winning percentage after last years 8 from 15
- He’s won four of his last five starts and those four by a combined 20 shots, including scoring records in consecutive weeks
Nobody thought 2000 could ever be topped but it now seems highly likely Tigers best is still yet to come. Steve Williams recently revealed that Tiger “hasn’t hit a practice ball since the British Open, with Tiger confirming “hey, there was no need”, admitting not surpisingly, that his fathers death last year was a factor in his performances. He’s now winning 28% of the time he tee’s it up, compared to Phils 9%, Vijays 8% and Ernie’s 6%. The numbers are simply amazing no matter which way you look at it and the scary thing is he seems to be getting better.

Best Golf Movies
Caddyshack
The most famous golf movie is Caddyshack, starring Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield and well, a bunch of other noname actors. It’s not everyones cup of tea but most golfers, including Tiger Woods, rate this as their favourite golf movie. It’s got some cheesy, idiotic humor and a few gratuitous breast shots of Lacy Underall, the hottie who is a bit of golf skank. You can check out a couple of scenes from Caddyshack in our miscellaneous golf video section. The movie is now 27 years old, and its classic golf outlaw versus golfs establishment. Some cat on IMDB (the Internet Movie Database for you cave dwellers) went as far to say that Caddyshack is one of the top five funniest movies of all time. He might have been puffing the magic dragon, but it’s definitely the best and funniest golf movie to be mad.
Our next golf movie is Tin Cup, which stars Kevin “bumface” Costner and Rene Russo, with Cheech Chong and Don Johnson. There’s also a couple of cameo appearances from some PGA tour pros including The Walrus Graig Stadler and Phil Mickelson. Tin Cup is about a washed up golf pro who qualifies for the US Open. Kevin Costner does an ok job as Roy McAvoy aka “Tin Cup” and his swing could pass for a Pro’s if you didn’t know much about golf. The best part is the ending, but don’t worry we wont spoil it for you. Many golfers will relate to Tin Cups temper and frustration for the game and the producers did a good job of consulting pro’s and industry experts to make it as realistic as possible. Still, it’s a movie so don’t expect it to be exactly like what happens out on the tour. My ratingg (hold one and halt thumbs up) – That’s one and half thumbs up.
Next up is Happy Gilmore, starring Adam Sandler, who plays an ex hockey player with a bad temper who discovers he can hit the ball 400 yards with his unique run and smash it style. It’s totally unbelievable, and a bit stupid, but there are some funny scenes including one where Happy and Bob Barker from the Price is Right have a bit of punch up. Again its golf outlaw vs the establishment and Shooter McGavin played by Christopher McDonald does a sweet job of playing the golf snob. There’s a very unnecessary side plot with Happys grandmother, only saved by Ben Stiller making a short appearance as the old peoples home enforcer. You can definitely watch it twice and there’s also a clip or two on the golfuncut.com website. The shear absurdity is both what makes it funny and prevents it from being any funnier. Now that I’ve confused myself with that last sentence it’s time to watch the next golf movie video.
Other golf movies worth a watch once are The Legend of Baggar Vance, which we think totally sucks but golfers seem to enjoy it. The Legend of Bobby Jones, a bit too serious for our taste, and The Greatest Game Ever Played, which was surprisingly good with a warm fuzzy ending. Some golf movies in the making are supposed to be the classic golf novel Golf in the Kingdom. Clint Eastwood is supposed to be trying to produce it but we don’t know if that ones off the ground yet. For the best golf DVD, you gotta check out Tiger Woods Authorised DVD collection. This is a must have for any Tiger Woods fan you will get Tiger Wood watching this.

What is the best wedge in golf?
For years, Cleveland has been the choice for better amateurs, touring and teaching professionals worldwide. Their 588 was one for the most successful wedges of all time and we’re going with the CG10, which has 17 times more carbon metal matrix than than traditional 8620 and 1020 steels. This makes is soft feeling with little vibration. There are 24 different options of loft and bounce so you can choose one for your most regular playing conditions, and the only downside is its not the most forgiving wedge in the game. But that really should be an issue since you wedges are your scoring clubs and finding the center isn’t usually as difficult as it is with your longer clubs. Although we haven’t tried it, Cleveland have just launched the CG12, which looks just as sexy and its got something called Zip Grooves, which we don’t know are for what but with a name like that it doesn’t really matter.
What are the best golf shoes in golf?
The number 1 shoe in golf is worn by almost 2/3 of PGA Tour professionals and is the most worn shoe on all worldwide professional tours. We’re going with the Footjoy Classics Dry Premier, the top of the line shoe with Intellishield Extreme technology that helps you your foot stay warm its cold, and cold when its warm. What we like about the Footjoys is they really are waterproof and really comfortable for watching our sexy golf videos. It literally needs to be teaming with rain in order for your foot to get wet but if you’re one of those golfers that tees off early in the morning and walks through 18 holes of dew, then almost any of the Footjoy models will keep you dry. The Classics Dry Premier is hand stitched in the USA, which is part of the reason for a USD$325 price tag, but if you’re the type of person to settle for nothing but the very best, these won’t let you down.
What is the best putter in golf?
No one putter dominates on tour but most pros are using a Scotty Cameron model from Titleist. These are the best looking, best feeling putters on the market and we particularly like the Studio Style line of Newports from Scotty Cameron, who has become a bit of a putter making oracle on tour, designing and making putters for many of the worlds bets players including our homeboy Tiger. Check out this website to get yourself a Scotty Cameron and start sinking more putts. Scotty once had the tagline “Im a putter maker that’s what I do” until too many people thought that sucked big time. Remember to put something in the scripts about the two companies that are sponsoring.
What are the best irons in golf?
A recent survey by golf research company Golf Datatech reported that golfers stay with their irons for 5 years, so picking a set of irons is an important decision and one that can change your game. Our pick of irons are the Callaway X20, a game improvement club that better amateurs and Pro’s can play. This iron is everything you want and more, looks sexy (like our golf video presenters), is forgiving, has playability and your mates will think you are a legend when they see you pull one of these out of the bag. The core technology is something called Progressive Wall Reduction System technology. For those of you who don’t hold a degree in Advanced Golf Club Marketing Bullshit, this means that the center of gravity gets lower as the clubs get longer, which in turn means you can get the longer irons up more easily. The X18 also comes in a forged and tour edition, both of which are money. These will set you back a few benjamins, but well worth it just to see the look on your opponents face as you pull out these weapons of mass destruction from your trunk then turn on our golf videos on your ipod.
What is the best driver in golf? The Golf Equipment Video Series
When not filming sexy golf videos, The Slice Girls have been testing a lot of drivers lately and we voted unanimously for the TaylorMade R7 SuperQuad. What more could a golfer want than inverted cone face technology and SelectFit fitting setup with more than 63,000 combinations? The driver is almost as good looking as me, except its got a dark face and black bottom. Kinda looks like a fighter jet, which is definitely what you want when battling some wingnut down the stretch on a Sunday afternoon after watching some Slice Girl golf videos. The proof in the pudding is that more PGA Tour professionals play TaylorMade drivers than Callaway,Cleveland, Cobra, Nike and ping combined. That’s Pro V1 like statistics and what makes it more impressive is, just like the Pro V1, many players sponsored by other equipment companies are using a taylormade driver. Check out this website to buy yourself a taylorMade driver and be like the Pro’s.
The #1 Ball in Golf - Golf Videos
Welcome golf video viewer, The Titleist Pro V1 has been the most played golf ball across all worldwide mens and ladies tours since its introduction in 2001.

How to play a call hole
Call holes are Par 3’s that mean when all of the players in the group in front are on the green, your group hits up. It’s supposed to speed up play but that’s a subject of debate among many players. All you need to do is be ready to hit. There’s no need to rush, but you don’t wanna be changing clubs and tossing blades of grass up in the wind when it’s your turn. Prepare while the group in front are playing their shots if they happen to have missed the green. As soon as they lift their clubs in the air to signal you can hit, step up and play your shot. After all players in your group have hit, walk to the green and if the group behind you is on the tee then walk to the back of the green and signal them to hit up once all your group is on the green. If there are only 2 players in either your group or the group in front or behind then you may not want to be called, or call them unless it’s a strict course policy and/or the caddies tell you to do so.
How to become a ready golfer golf video
Slow play is one of the most complained about subjects in golf and can ruin your round if you happen to get stuck behind a group of slow players. Here’s a few tips on how you can speed up play and be a “ready golfer” so you can have more time to watch our golf videos online
1/ Walk to your ball whenever possible. Don’t stand and watch other players play their shots, go straight to your ball and get ready to hit
2/ if you’re riding and its cart paths only take plenty of clubs. There’s nothing worse than going back for another club or trying to play a shot you know should be played with another club.
3/ One practice swing is enough. Sometimes it seems the worse the player the more practice swings they take. Seeing someone take 10 practice swings only to chunk it 20 yards is more frustrating than leaving a 3 footer short. Don’t be one of those players
4/ Go with your first choice. It will almost always be the right one
5/ be ready to hit as soon its safe to do so. You should have chosen your club, selected the shot you’re going to play all while you’re waiting on the group in front
6/ Hit when ready. If your playing partners are 20 yards back in the fairway having a conversation about which tea pot cosy is more aesthetically pleasing, go and head an hit your shot
Follow these tips and you’ll never be tagged as a slow player ever again and have more time to watch golf videos

How to avoid a costly silly penalty – Marking your golf ball
In this golf video Beyonce holes explains one of golfs most simple yet effective tricks. Marking your golf ball can be one of the simplest yet least followed pieces of golf advice by amateurs. It only takes a few seconds and could save you a few shots. If you do happen to play the wrong ball the penalty is loss of hole in matchplay and two strokes in strokeplay, and you have to go back and play the shot with the right ball. By simply marking your ball with a distinct marking you can avoid such penalty and also give your ball a personality. Personally I mark all my balls with 18 next to the logo to remind me the perfect score in golf is 18. You might choose a smiley face, cupids arrow or whatever suits your personality. Whatever it is make sure its easily identifiable and unique. All the Pro’s do it, you should make it your top priority after watching our golf videos.
How to bounce balls on your wedge like Tiger woods
First you have to use a wedge, preferably a 60 degree wedge if you have one. Make sure you grip it so the face is pointing directly skywards like this. Now scoop the ball up like this and away you go. The key is in the way you move the club. It must be straight up and down so the face stays parallel with the ground. You must also do quick small movements and not bounce the ball too high until you get good. After you can do 30 or so with ease, try the between the legs like this and around the back of the legs like this, which is a bit harder. You need to have good hand-eye coordination to do this, but with a little practice you can get pretty good at it quite fast.
How to stop the shanks golf video
The Shanks can be so frustrating that it’s made people give up golf. For those of you who don’t know, a shank is a shot that comes off the hosel of the club and heads off well right, sometimes almost at right angles. There are two sure-fire ways to stop a shank. 1/ Hit some shots standing on two golf balls like this. This will help prevent your weight moving out towards the ball and get you swinging more on your heels. If that doesn’t work, 2/ stick something like a head cover or golf ball box near the ball like this. This stops the club moving out towards the ball also and if you do this at the range and hit it, you’ll look like an absolute plonker, which is a good incentive not to hit it. If you try these two drills and you’re still shanking it, it might be time to give up or send us your golf swing video and we’ll do a free swing analysis for you.

How To Become a Golf Pro Golf Video Transcript
Welcome golf video lovers! Many new golf wannabee’s start playing, hit a few good shots and think they can become a golf professional. To become a golf professional is usually a three year process, or less if you already happen to have a degree. You need to enroll in a Professional Golf Management program, most of which have handicap limits, although some of which are not strictly enforced if you can demonstrate you’re a bit of a brain. The course is typically a business diploma that relates everything to the golf industry so you take accounting, marketing and all those subjects, but it will be related to the golf industry. Along the way you’ll also learn about Pro Shop operations, club repair, the rules of golf and pretty much everything about golf, except how to make sexy golf videos. Note most professional golf management programs set you up for a position on a golf course as a golf professional. If you want to become a playing Pro, hit 2,000 balls a day, all day, everyday, play everyday, and make sure you’ve got lots of cash behind you. Touring pro’s play a different game than amateurs, and even most club professionals. Remember that’s all they do, play golf, hence the name golf professional. For more information just do a google search for your local PGA and they will have the necessary info. Becoming a golf pro requires a lot more than just being good, plus be aware of one thing. Many people enter the golf industry with the thoughts of playing golf all the time, but its an inside joke that people in the golf industry play less golf than anybody else. Unless you’ve been told you’ve got what it takes but more than one person who can break par, stick to your day job
How to know what tees you should play from
Most golf courses these days will have up to five sets of tees. Here’s a general guide of what the tees are for, with many courses changing colors. Black (sometimes blue) are for the Pro’s and scratch or better amateurs. Blue for 1-8 handicap, Gold for 9-18 and white for everything above that. Of course, red is for chicks, or guys that wear dresses. There is no official rule that requires you to play from a certain set of tees, but most guys will tend to play from tees that are too difficult for them. It isn’t much fun hitting long irons and fairway woods into all the par 4’s, so choose wisely and leave your ego in the bag. Remember, they have different sets of tees for a reason. Slow play is partly due to the fact that most players try to play from the wrong sets of tees. So when deciding what set of tees to play from know your limitations and don’t try to be a hero.

How to Play Skins Golf Video
The Skins game has become a popular television tournament during the off season for four of the hottest players in golf, although the last few years the skins game has lost popularity because it can no longer attract the big name players. Here’s how it goes. The low score on a hole wins, but if two tie, all tie, and the skin is “carried over” to the next hole. Skins can get very exciting especially if you are playing with 4 players because there can often be many holes that are “halved” and one hole then becomes worth as many holes as have been halved. Lets say you’re playing for $5 a skin or hole. If five holes are halved then the 6th hole will be worth $30. A popular variation is to make the first 6 holes worth say $5, the next 6 holes $10, and the final 6 holes $15. Skins is a fun game to play especially if you have four players playing off the same handicap. Watch this space for more golf videos on golf betting!
How to play a Nassau Golf Video
In this golf video we explain the Nassau. The Nassau is probably one of the most popular betting games to play in golf for most weekend hackers. It’s pretty simple and goes like this. The 18 holes is divided into three separate bets, the front nine, back nine and overall 18. You might hear “lets play a little 10-10-10”. That means the front nines worth $10, the back nine’s worth $10 and the overall 18 is worth another $10, making the total winnings available $30. You score using matchplay, not strokeplay. There are several variations on the Nassau but the most popular is presses, which are extra bets for any and/or each separate bet. So lets say you are three down with two holes to play on the front nine. You can’t win the front nine, so you might choose to press, which means that you are making a new bet for the remaining three holes, starting even. You can do this for the front, back and total 18 but only if you are down and you’ve agreed before the round that presses are allowed. Many people also play automatic presses so if you get a certain amount of holes down, a new bet starts. If you only know one betting game, make sure this is it.

How To Stop Your Ferrules from Coming Loose.
The ferrule is this bit here on the club. We get many questions in our equipment forums asking why their ferrules come loose and so we though we’d address it here. This is a simple one. If you don’t want your ferrules to come loose, then don’t wash your clubs in warm water. Warm water makes them expand and come loose. If they do come loose you’ll need to get some epoxy glue and stick em back on.
How to Tell if clubs are fake golf video series
Unless you buy golf clubs from a reputable golf shop there’s a chance that you might get sold a set of fakes that have fallen off the back of a truck somewhere in mainland China.
For an experienced golfer its’ generally pretty easy to tell, but for the newbie it’s a little hard. The first thing to look for is the finish of the logo and any markings. If you look at the clubs closely, you can see the paint and markings are not clean, sometimes with clear plastic coating. Sometimes the assembly is also noticeably rough.
If the clubs look perfect, then the next thing to check is the weight, which is somewhat difficult if you haven’t used many clubs before or don’t have anything to compare to. The weight will be noticeably heavier than the real deals.
The last, and sure bet they’re a fake is lack of serial number, which all the major club manufacturers have on each of their clubs. The clubs should also come with a guarantee card. If in doubt, ask a Pro to have a look at them before you buy if possible.
If you’re a new player you’ll find it difficult to notice the difference both physically and in performance of fake clubs, but like anything else in life, you get what you pay for.

If you’re a new player you’ll find it difficult to notice the difference both physically and in performance of fake clubs, but like anything else in life, you get what you pay for.
How to mess with your opponent on the golf course golf video
Here’s my top three ways to distract your opponent on the golf course.
1/ When you’re on the tee, stand facing your opponent when he’s about to tee off with you legs like this. As he reaches the top of his backswing, uncross your legs, making sure to look away pretending like you didn’t even know you did it in case he stares at you. Even if he manages to hit it, just the thought of him knowing you’ve tried to be a dirty dog will make him angry for the rest of your round
2/ You’re on the putting green. Your opponent is ready to putt. Stand far enough away as you would normally, but make sure you’re in their vision. When they’re ready to putt, start making some practice swings. Apologise profusely if they pull away and give you a stare or ask you to stop
3/ The next one is one of my favourites but requires some element of luck. Each time your opponent tees it up make sure your bag is close. Pull two or three clubs out of the bag like this, so they’re resting precariously against some other clubs. What you’re trying to achieve is the dreaded “club clanging” sometime during his swing. With a little practice you can get pretty good at making the clubs fall down, and a little nudge with your foot of the bag always helps too!
[Last paragraph the clubs fall down, The Slice Girl jumps up and gets a fright, and says “Lucky I was wearing this sweet golf shirt from King Golf.net otherwise I might have popped right out of this”]
Try these and you might never lose another match on the golf course. Watch more golf videos at www.gofuncut.com

How to deal with a cheater on the golf course
Accusing someone of cheating on the course is maybe the most serious accusation you can make and if you are going to confront someone then you better be 100% sure you saw them in the act.
Who is doing the cheating really dictates how you should deal with a cheater. If you are playing in any kind of tournament you need to deal with it at the time of cheating, and then take it up with tournament officials.
If you’re playing casually, and you don’t know the person then we say leave it alone and let the golf gods deal with them in their own way. The problem arises when one of your regular playing partners is a cheater. There are two ways to handle it.
You confront the cheater head-on in front of the rest of your mates and when you witness him in the act, or you can pull him aside after and have a quiet word to him, simply saying that if he does it again, you are not going to play with him. The other thing is to try to make light of it and simply suggest something like for example, if he moves his ball to give himself a preferred lie, you might make a comment at the end of the round that makes it clear that you don’t tolerate that kind of shit. Something like “I had a terrible lie on the 5th hole, was thinking about moving it while you guys weren’t looking but lucky golf is game of honesty yeah?” This will tell them you’re not happy and that you expect everybody to play with the rules. If they still continue to cheat then you might want to get yourself a new playing partner or simply lay it on the line and say “look mate, we all know you cheat, we don’t like it, if you keep doing it were not playing with you again”. It’s a tough call, but if they cheat on the golf course the chances are they cheat at something else in life and are not worthy of being your mate anyway.
Whatever you decide, you need to be absolutely sure they are in fact cheating. Another thing to be aware of is some newer players may not be in fact aware of the rules and may not know what they are doing is cheating. That form of cheating is somewhat acceptable, or at least should be forgiven depending on the intent.
Golf is a game of honesty and no matter why you play the game you should always respect the rules.

How to talk trash on the golf course golf video
Charles Barkley said Tiger is the King of trash talk on the golf course but added that it’s not really trash talk if you can back it up. So if you’ve got the game, here’s three of the best trash talk lines you can use on your golfing buddies to mess with their game:
Ok, number 1: You’ve just hit a monster drive, out-driving your opponent by over 30 yards. As you’re walking up to your balls you casually ask “Did you see where they’re opening the biggest Walmart in history”. Your opponent will ask where, and you reply “Right here, between my ball and yours”.
Number 2: Your opponents playing out of his skin. He’s birdied or parred the last 3 holes, depending on how good he is, and you know he doesn’t usually play like this. You only need to say a few words to stem the tide and get back in the match. Just politely mention how nice he’s playing and that if he keeps playing like this he might beat his personal best score. This is almost certain to get him thinking and start the bogey-train
Number 3.This is another one to mess with your opponents mind if they’re playing a little too good for your liking. Mention something like “You have a nice swing, can I ask you what do you focus on when beginning your down swing?” or if you want to be a little more nasty “You know, your clubface is so closed at the top of your backswing, but you do a great job to square it back up at impact”. They will hit it all over the golf course for the rest of the round.
Try those lines and remember, it’s not trash talk if you can back it up. Saying any one of those lines then shanking 100 yards off target will get you the nickname Rory Sabbitini.

How to get into (play) a private golf club golf video
In this golf video we give you a few ways to get ontot a private club. Although a private club is usually only reserved for members, sometimes it’s surprisingly easy to get onto one. If you are a member of another club and are close with the pro, ask them if they can call up and try to get you on. Many times if The Pro calls up and says some good things about you, like you don’t pick your nose or scratch your ass in front of the club captain, they can get you on. Failing that or if you’re not a member of a club then make the call yourself. Be very polite, and if you’re feeling a bit sneeky you might want to tell a fib that you’re interested in buying a membership. If you want to be 100% honest just tell them straight up that you’d really like to play the course and many times the Pro or club manager will answer in the positive. Of course, should you be granted playing temporary playing privileges then respect the club rules and dress nicely. It might not be the time to show up in your pink Jesper Parnevik outfit. Only all but the most exclusive golf clubs you should have a good chance if you play your cards right.
How to know how high to tee your ball
One of the most asked questions from new golfers is “how high do I tee up my golf ball?”
This is a bit of a tricky one and the best answer is “how ever high you want”.
Ok, I admit that’s a bit of sucky answer, and if you want a guide, you should tee the ball high enough so approximately half the ball is above your driver when you rest you driver on the ground behind the ball. If you have an upright swing you probably will want to tee it up a bit lower, conversely, if you have a flat swing you’re most likely going to want to tee it a bit higher.
For irons, when you’re on a Par 3, tee the ball so it’s just off the ground, a little higher as your clubs get longer. Many amateurs, particularly those ones that think they are better than they actually are, think it’s cool, or think they are cool by not using a tee. But you need to follow the advice of Tiger and Jack, and tee it up whenever you can on Par 3’s.

What to do when lightening strikes golf video
In North America and most parts of the Western world courses will have warning sirens when lightening is in the area. In Thailand and throughout many parts of Asia it’s up to the golfers discretion whether to play on or not. Sometime during your golfing career you’re most likely going to have to make a decision on your own when lightening is close. Here’s a few tips:
- Don’t stand with your 1 iron raised above your head in the middle of an open fairway
- Stay away from water, that includes thinking you are Tiger Woods and attempting to walk on water
- Don’t pass the time by sparking up a dooby in your golf cart
- Don’t take a whizz under a tree
- Look for a substantial manmade building. Drink huts and the like aren’t the best protection
- Stay away from metal, that includes playing air guitar with your steel shafted 7 iron
- Don’t flock together in case your mate gets hit, you don’t want to get electrocuted. 15 yards apart is a good guide
- If there’s no shelter, head to lowlands or a valley
Obey these rules and you should be sweet next time lightening strikes!

How to know if it’s safe to hit golf video
New golfers in particular often have no idea of when it’s safe to hit. Most courses have 100, 150 and 200 yard markers or stakes and you must do a little math to know if it’s safe to hit. Lets say the hole is 400 yards. The group in front has just walked past the 150 yard marker. You hit it about 250, so give them a few seconds and that’s right Einstein, its now safe to hit. Many of The Slice Girls can bomb it and often hit up on the group in front, which can cause some golf rage in some players so it’s always better to be safe and let them walk well clear before hitting. A common scenario is for golfers to decide to hit a nice easy one that won’t go far and what happens then? That’s right, your muscles are relaxed and you hit it further. Do some math and you’ll always be safe to hit.
How to find and choose a golf pro golf newbie videos
Today I’m going to give you some advice on how to find a golf professional. First thing to do is check their qualifications and references. Try to make sure they have a PGA card or qualification and try to stay away from any Golf Teachers Federation qualifications, which are not endorsed by any professional golfer associations. If they’re any good the Pro should be able to provide you with some testimonials from their past students. Now once you find one, don’t sign up for 20 hours until you’ve finished the first lesson, and are confident you’ll get along with them. It’s a fact of life that we relate better to some people than with others. If you’re not comfortable you’re not going to learn much. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for. Of course this isn’t always the case but if you think a Pro is expensive, there’s probably a reason for it. The last thing you might want to consider is choosing someone with a similar body type to you, and if your left handed, it does help to find a left handed Pro if possible. Look to your local PGA for a directory of local Pro’s or a google search will almost certainly show up a few Pro’s in your area. Failing that, take a visit to your local driving range and you’ll always find a few teaching Pro’s hanging out there or send u an email and we might be able to recommend someone in your area.
How To Book a Tee Time Newvie Golf Video
How to Book a Tee Time
Experienced players take for granted making a tee time, but many new golfers don’t have a clue how to book a tee time. Here’s a basic guide for the golf newbie on how to book a tee time.
Depending on the course you’re playing, you might have to book weeks ahead, but for most courses, usually one week ahead is enough, maybe less during weekdays.
Call the course and give them the following details:
- The day you want to play
- The approximate time you want to play and how many players
Some things to note:
- Most courses won’t allow single player bookings
- Some courses operate on split tee times, so you may find tee times are only available, for example, between 6:30 and 8:30, then again after 11:00a.m.
- Expect to be paired up with other players if you are booking for two or three players
- Busy courses require a credit card guarantee
Lastly, remember that a tee time is not like a hotel booking where you can show up at anytime. At many courses if you miss your tee time you won’t be able to play so arrive in plenty of time. Good luck, see you again soon.

How Did The Golf Terms Eagle and Birdie Come About?
So how did the terms birdie and eagle come about? There’s a book that, unless you are a total geek, you won’t have read, called “Fifty Years of American Golf” that tells the story. It was 1899 and some dudes were playing at Atlantic City Country Club in New Jersey, One Tiger wannabe hit a little peach of a shot and said “That was a bird of a shot….I suggest that when one of us plays a hole in one under par he receives double compensation. The other two said something like “word homie” and on the next peach of a shot they began to call it a birdie. In 19th century American slang the word “bird” meant anything totally good. Of course, the term eagle and albatross then followed as bigger and better than a birdie.
The word Fore comes from a shortened version of the word before or afore, which meant “look out ahead”. This was apparently used by soldiers who were warning their mates in the front line. It’s thought that golfers simply started using this word in the 18th century. If you hear the word fore on the golf course, protect your head, both of them and hope for the best.

Golf Videos Newbie Questions Transcript - Golf Handicap Explained
A golf handicap is one of the most misunderstood terms of the game of golf. A handicap is part of what makes golf such a great game. It allows players of different abilities to compete fairly against one another. A proper explanation of a handicap would be blockbuster golf video length show, but here’s a simple explanation. A handicap is based on a golfers potential ability. Most players, including those that have played for years, mistakenly think a handicap is based on a golfers’ average score. This is simply not true. A handicap is calculated using your best scores, and this is one of the reasons why golfers very rarely play to their handicap. A handicap of 9 means you get 9 shots over 18 holes. So if you shoot a score of 82 on a Par 72 golf course, your net score is 73. Handicaps are the subject of great debate around the world as there are a few different sytems used to calculate handicaps and many players also manipulate their handicap to win tournaments, which is a serious issue. Some courses require you to have a handicap so it’s a good idea to get one, which you can do by contacting your local or national golf association. To find out more about golf handicaps you can go to the USGA’s website or the R&A’s website which are the governing bodies for handicapping and have a lot of info on the matter.
What Golf Clubs Should I Buy
When new golfers get the golf bug they always wanna know what clubs they should get. I’m going to answer this one by giving you a review of the biggest brands in golf. Lets start with Titleist. Titleists motto is “Serious Clubs for Serious Golfers”. These clubs are just that and many better players use Titleist. They have the undisputed number 1 ball in golf, the Titleist Pro V1, and their line of Scotty Cameron putters are used by most tour players. You can’t go wrong with any piece of Titleist equipment. Next is TaylorMade, which is probably most famous for their drivers, the most played driver on the PGA tour. They also make irons, putters and balls but they are most renowned for their drivers. Callaway has been one of the biggest brands in golf for a long time and have a reputation for being amongst the most forgiving irons and drivers in golf. Their Big Bertha Driver pretty much started the oversize driver industry. Nike is the newest on the scene and of course does well mainly due to the fact that Tiger Woods is using its equipment. As with any Nike product, you can expect good quality and reasonable prices. Ping is one of the oldest players in the equipment scene and is particularly popular in North America and Europe, where their irons are the biggest sellers at many pro Shops. Tiger Woods still uses a ping grip on his Scotty Cameron putter. Cobra is owned by Acushnet, who also own Titleist and Footjoy. They were very popular when Greg Norman was number 1 in the world, faded out for a while and have since made a bit of comeback in the mid handicap market. Footjoy is the best known brand for accessories including shoes and gloves. Ask any teaching Pro and he’s most likely to have either a pair of footjoy shoes or a footjoy glove. Buy any of these brands and you shouldn’t have any issues with quality and if you do, all of them offer limited guarantees so you can be confident in your purchase. There are many more brands in golf but these are the biggest covering the lions share of the market across all product categories.
Golf Video Newbie Questions - How Long Does A Game of Golf Take
So how long does a game of golf take? This depends a lot on whom you are playing with and where you are playing. Here in Thailand rounds of 5-6 hours are not uncommon, partly because many courses allow five and sometimes sixsomes. If you are playing at a well managed course your round should take no more than 4 and half hours with four players. Good players can finish a round in under four hours quite easily without rushing. Greg Norman and Mark Calcavechia once played 18 holes in under two hours and I’ve played 18 holes in a cart by myself in an hour and half. The one thing to consider is faster is better. Nobody likes playing with a slow player and if your group doesn’t have anybody in front and you take longer than four and half hours to play - you’re playing too slow.
How Much Should I Spend on New Golf Clubs
How much should you spend on golf clubs? You can get some good deals on golf clubs these days and it really depends on how much you are willing to spend. If you’ve got deep pockets and/or are on a budget then you can pick up a full set including bag for a couple of hundred US dollars. If you are looking for something decent, then expect to pay between US$1,000-$1,500 for a full set including 3 woods, putter and irons. If you want the best and what the pro’s play, then expect to pay more. And, if you’re just starting off then a mid-priced set will do the trick because for the first few years you’ll probably struggle to tell the difference between a $1,000 set and a $200 set. If you’re in Thailand, check out www.golfshopthailand.com, which is pretty much the cheapest source for golf clubs in Thailand. They don’t stock every brand but no matter what level you are you can probably find something there. The best thing to do is make sure you’ve got an experienced, and preferably good golfer with you to give you some advice when you go to buy. Failing that, check out The Slice Girls forum where there’s an equipment forum that has some excellent advice on buying clubs.
Golf Newbie Video Series Transcripts - How Far Should I Hit Each Club
How far should you hit each club? This depends on each persons physical strength, swing and natural ability. As a general guide, for a dude, if you can hit your 7 iron about 150 yards you’re doing ok. Each club will then be approximately 10-15 yards apart, so your 6 iron will go about 160, 5 iron 170 and so on. The average driver distance is about 220 yards so if you hit more than that you’re also doing ok. One of the problems associated with this question is most guys like to think they can hit it further than they can. They hit a 7 iron 180 yards from an elevated tee, downhill, downwind and they think this is their average distance. If you want proof, just watch your playing partners the next time you’re out playing and I would bet you anything that at least 75% of the time golfers come up short of their target. There is no right or wrong about how far you hit each club, and just remember there’s no place on the scorecard to put what club you used to get it in the hole.
