Golf Driving Range

Posted by Rob Jeffries

Many golf courses have driving ranges.  These driving ranges are instrumental in helping you improve your game, and you should use them as much as you possibly can.  Even though it’s called a driving range, you can practice all of your golf shots on the range.  By taking advantage of this valuable tool offered by your golf course, you are sure to improve your game.

In the game of golf, it’s essential to know how far you are able to hit with your clubs on a consistent basis.  By taking advantage of the golf driving range, you will get a great idea of how far your driver can go as well as your 9 iron.  Once you know how far you can hit your clubs, you will be able to practice some great course management skills when you are out on the course.

Start out with a bucket of balls and your driver.  Try out various stances and see which ones help you drive the ball farther.  Hit a lot of balls and pay close attention to what works and what doesn’t.  When you find a shot you are pleased with, hit several more balls using that same technique to see if it was just a fluke or if you can replicate it over and over again.

Then you should move to your fairway woods or your irons.  Practice the same technique with these clubs.  You may have to buy another bucket – or bag on some courses – of balls, but believe me, it will be well worth the money when you are able to effectively know what clubs will give you the yardage you need and want.

Many golf courses have lighted driving ranges, so even if you can’t play the course, you can still work on your swing in the evening hours.  Many people find that having a lighted driving range can help them work on their swing at inconvenient hours when daylight has left but they still feel the desire to swing a club.

One point you need to keep in mind when on the golf driving range is that you are playing in perfect conditions.  There are no hills, there are no hazards, and you are concentrating to the best of your ability.  Just because you can hit a 300 yard drive on the range doesn’t necessarily mean you can do the same on the course.

However, you can certainly learn a lot about your golf game when you are on the driving range.  Don’t pass up the chance to practice as much as you can.  Practicing is best done on the golf driving range, so buy a bucket of balls and whack away.  You never know what you’ll find out!

Business on the Golf Course

Posted by Rob Jeffries

 There’s probably no better place in the world to conduct business than on the golf course.  Business executives all over the world know that sharing a common frustration with their golf game promotes the perfect environment for business talk.  More partnerships and businesses have been changed on the golf course than you could ever imagine.

When you are conducting business on the golf course, you have the luxury of sharing a common goal – to beat each other.  Yet at the same time, when you are playing with business associates on the golf course, you really need to practice some decorum when playing golf with a potential business affiliate.

So how do you balance business with sport on the golf course?  Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question.  Just as with any decision in business, you have to weigh the outcome with what is happening.  If you are trying to land a big account, you probably won’t want to make fun of your potential client’s missed chip shot.

However, you won’t want to gain a reputation as a suck-up either.  If your potential client makes a 7 on a par 3 hole, you really don’t want to whoop and holler because it will be obvious you are just trying to stroke his (or her) ego.  Conducting business on the golf course is a delicate proposition, so start with a plan in mind.

DO NOT – and we stress this a lot – DO NOT begin your golf match with a declaration of what you hope to accomplish by the end of the round.  If you want to insure that you will be landing that big account, don’t put on your golf glove on tee #1 and declare your intention.  The idea behind conducting business on the golf course is to make friends first and then do your business.

As you are playing, keep in mind that you will want to bring your “A” game as much as is humanly possible.  Sure, you might be playing against a person who is head and shoulders above you, but if you are the better player, DON’T let them win just because you want to gain their business.  Play golf like you mean it and gain that prospect’s respect.

There is much business that is done on the golf course every day of every week.  You won’t find a better place to make a business deal than on the links.  However, you will want to use some form of decorum to insure that your business goals will come to reality.  Taking business on the golf course could be the best business decision you ever make!

Golf Fitness Training on a Budget

Posted by Rob Jeffries

Playing golf can get very expensive; a good set of clubs will cost a lot of money, the shoes and all the gear, not to mention the cost of a round of golf. In many ways it is a wealthy person’s sport, at least if you want to get really good. But, there are ways you can improve your game and have more fun while still working within a budget. An easy way to save money is to invest in golf fitness training, which is a method of improving your strength  for the sport of golf without having to pay the high price of a trainer. 

Hiring a personal trainer in any gym or fitness center, or even at your local golf course can cost upwards of $100 per hour, and in that one hour you probably won’t get much instruction. They will run you through a few stretches, maybe do a little resistance training or weight lifting, and then send you on your way. If you want to learn golf fitness training, you almost always have to go to a trainer who specializes in this. 

But, the problem with this is that most personal trainers that specialize in golfers are very expensive and not so easy to come by. Another issue with them is that they have been trained to deal with the best golfers, in the best physical condition, and not someone who is in mid-life and has not been working out for years! 

In general, the best golf fitness training you can find is online at this present time. There are several websites that specialize in offering this kind of instruction. So, whether you are a young, agile golfer, or you are retired and just want to up your game a bit, a small investment in online golf training could well be worth the money.

For more information on or to purchase any of the products discussed in this post, please click on the highlighted links in the post.

 

If you are a runner, it is highly likely that you will practice and practice before ever going out to compete against another. If you are a swimmer, you will swim thousands of laps before racing another swimmer. However, for most golfers, practice is usually not part of their life. They may go hit a few balls before a round, but that’s it.

The best golf training is not done out on the golf course, and it isn’t always done on the driving range either. There are certainly benefits to be had by going out to play golf. You can learn the course, figure out your strengths and weaknesses, and see how you react under pressure. On the driving range, you can work on grooving your swing and determine how far you can hit each club. Even on the putting green, you can work on your feel and your ability to determine a line or read the green.
