for a golfing resort in Scotland?. Does anyone know if it will be exclusive?, or will it be open to all that can pay?

Thanks.

The last I heard the plans were on hold. If it’s a resort, it won’t be exclusive. His resort courses aren’t exclusive. They’re not cheap.

I am pretty new to golf, and I have a bad habit of putting my elbow out when I swing, I feel like I am trying to swing a bat or hit a puck with a hockey stick (because I am used to doing both the above), does anyone have any pointers?

yes that is called flying the elbow and you can put your glove under your armpit during your swing and if you can hold it there you’re doing it correctly.

My boyfriends birthday is next week… and I’d love to buy him lessons for golf at a nice resort

Los Lagos Golf Course in San Jose.

They offer lessons here. See website.

I am starting to play golf in high school, I love the game, and I am good at it, but golf clubs are really expensive. I want to find good quality golf clubs, but cheap. Give me links to webs site who have some good prices. Preferably if they could be in a whole set. This would be a huge help, best answer gets an easy TEN POINTS, thanks!

This is the absolute best thing you can do, hands down: Find a local golf club fitter/club maker before you even think about buying new clubs and get fit. In many cases, this will be your local PGA teaching pro. This is the most important thing to do when buying new clubs, and is also the most overlooked step. Properly fitted clubs will help you play your best and shoot lower scores. It is a huge mistake to just go to a store (or internet site) and buy a set of clubs off the shelf. They could be completely wrong for you and your swing. After you get fitted, a good club maker can build an entire set of clubs to YOUR exact specifications, using components that best suit your game. The club maker can determine several things based on your fitting, including what the correct lie angles for your clubs are, the proper length for you, whether you would be better suited to graphite or steel shafts, what type of irons, etc…This may sound expensive, but you can have a proper fitting done and get an entire new set of clubs for a fraction of the cost of buying a major manufacturer’s clubs, like Callaway, TaylorMade, Ping, and such. Some of the best clubs money can buy are designed by Ralph Maltby. He started The Golfworks, which is a great golf club component company. Their products are second to none in quality and playability. If there is a Golf Galaxy store near you, they could fit you and build you a new set of clubs using Golfworks components at a great price. Sure, you can probably find some clubs cheaper on Ebay or something, but do yourself a favor and take the time to get fitted. I promise you will play much better than if you didn’t. With properly fitted clubs, you will hit the ball more solidly, more accurately, more consistently, and you will also get more distance. There is not a professional golfer on any tour anywhere that did not have his or her clubs custom fit to them. If you would like more information on having a fitting done or about having clubs built for you, you can visit Ralph Maltby’s web site at www.ralphmaltby.com You can join his forum and then ask Ralph anything and everything about custom fitted golf clubs. He is a great guy and knows everything there is to know about golf clubs and what would work best for you. Sorry this is so long, but I myself am a club maker, and I see all-to-often people who are playing with clubs that are completely wrong for them. Golf is a hard enough game as it is, you don’t need to make it even harder by playing with clubs that don’t fit you. Whatever you do, I wish you the best of luck. Hit ‘em long and straight!

Winter’s here and the golf season is over, but I have tryouts for the golf team in March. Since no courses will be open until after then, how can I keep from getting "stiff" over the winter. What are some good ways to practice?

You can find a indoor driving range or even an outdoor because they have turf instead of real grass and then you can practice your drive. You can also go to Putt-Putt and this is like the BEST way to practice your putting because you have to read the greens and negotiate harder slopes/turns. Use your real putter though. Go to a pro shop and use their swing analyzer and this can tell you if your swing is wrong. I recommend the Medicus Dual-Hinge driver and the 5-iron. These have helped mold my swing and I hit longer, straighter shots consistently. You’ll have to get out there on the course some time in the cold if you want to really practice. Just don’t play a full 18 or even 9. You can use the practice greens and bunkers even the driving range if you club has one. Just focus on the fundamentals of golf and try not let yourself get too wrapped up in details. Go for control, and in golf Less is More. Hope this helps! Happy New Year and good luck to you in making the golf team in March!

i played golf with my friends and i really liked it. i had to rent clubs tho so i want to buy some left hand ones. also the golf team try outs are 2moro so and tips would be good.

Practice your chip shots at home using a bucket if you have adequate space i.e. 40 yards or more.

Practice your drives either with a stand alone net or at the driving range.

Practice your putting by putting a piece of tape down on the grass or carpet and making sure that you keep the putter on that line. Practice how far you need to pull back on the club to get a given distance forward.

Many golf courses have used clubs for sale at a greatly reduced price. My husband bought mine at K-Mart for under $200 and then I added additional clubs. Try to keep the same brand because it will affect your game. If you can afford it, go to one of the golf stores and try out golf clubs in your price range. Try them out. Choose the club that gives you the straightest, cleanest hit most of the time during your try out.

For a right handed person’s golf swing, should the left leg "post up" and straighten out during the down swing? Perhaps not immediately, but what should the left leg be like before impact, at impact, and after impact on the follow through? Thanks

As a right hander, I was always taught that I had to hit against a firm left side during the downswing and follow thru. The side is firm just prior to impact as well as after impact when the force turns the front of the body to face the intended target line..
