Golf Equipment 2

I like many other fathers out there, used to leave shopping for the children up to my wife. She would take them to the store and I would get to sit on the couch and enjoy a football game with no interruption. Sadly, that’s all been changed thanks to the limited funds available at my kid’s school to supply the sports gear that they need. It is up to the parents to purchase what was once readily provided by the school and now I’m the one that makes the trips to the store with the kids in tow.

Maybe you didn’t realize it but there are many different designs for irons these days. Each type is made for a different kind of golfer. Some clubs are for advanced players that need maximum feel and responsiveness from their clubs. Thankfully, others are made for golfers that need a little help and forgiveness from their clubs…and make it easier to find the sweet spot and get the ball up in the air easier. Which type is right for you?

First you have to ask yourself some questions. And be honest now.

BAFF - To strike the ground with the “sole” of the club-head in playing.

BUNKER - A sand-pit.

CADDIE - A person who carries the Golfer’s clubs, and, if necessary, gives him advice in regard to the game.
CUP - A small hole in the course, probably made by the stroke of some previous player.

DEAD - A ball is said to be “dead “-1st, when it falls without rolling; dead, when it lies so near the hole that the “put” is a dead certainty.
DORMY - One party is said to be “dormy” on the other when the former is as many holes a-head as there remain holes to play. (This word is fancifully derived from dorrnio, to sleep,

owing to the security enjoyed by the dormy party.)
DRAW - To drive widely to the left hand. (Synonymous with Hook and Screw.)

You walk in to a golf store and there are hundreds of woods, irons, wedges and putters to choose from along with clothing, balls and all kinds of accessories. When just starting out in golf, choosing a set of clubs can be an overwhelming task. What is one to do? What decisions need to be made when buying a set of golf clubs? This article aims to help you know what you need to know, so you can make the right call and save you a little dough in the process.

First, you need to know what makes up a set of clubs? Well there are four main parts to a set of clubs: Woods, Irons, Wedges, and a

Putter. These days you also have the Hybrid Clubs. These are a cross between irons and woods. People who have trouble hitting their long irons, such as a 2 or 3 iron, tend to use these types of clubs instead. You are allowed up to 14 clubs in your bag and they can be in just about any combination you want. For example, in my bag I carry a Driver, a 4 wood, 3 thru 9 irons, pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, lob wedge and a putter. This arrangement of clubs fits my game and the types of courses I usually play.

Explaining ways to make money from golf in an article of around 500 words is quite a challenge, as there are so many!

I’m going to stick to 3, including the one I use, so let’s get stuck in…

Firstly, you could set up your own golf site.
On this site you could sell equipment of all sorts, from buggies to clubs to balls, from tickets to championships to memorabilia, books and dvds.
The major plus to this is that you would get to keep all the profits, but the downside is that you’d have to set up and maintain the site, and invest upfront in stock.
