GOLF HISTORY & SOME INTRESTING FACTS

HISTORY AND THE WORLD OF GOLF The game of golf attracts massive galleries of spectators, mesmerized by a pastime in which a player hits a tiny ball across great distances, sometimes over 500 yards, into a little hole. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries people played a number of different club and ball games. By the fifteenth century golf was been played in many parts of Europe and had become so popular in Scotland that in 1457 King James II was forced to ban his archers from playing the game that was keeping them from performing their proper duties. Such prohibitions, however, failed to curb the growing popularity of the game, which teed off officially in 1860 when the thirst Open Championship was held at the tiny fishing village of Prestwick on the West Coast of Scotland. From then on the game didn't look back. J H Taylor, James Braid and Harry Vardon, playing on the turn of the century, put golf firmly on the British map. In 1916 the US PGA was formed, and Walter Hagen, Bobb...

Two Little Changes can make a Big Tee Shot

If despite a smooth, strong swing you are not getting the distance you feel you deserve, it may well be because your hip-turn through the hitting zone is too restricted. Here is two adjustments at address to overcome this restriction. I think the changes have given me freedom to move my hips faster on the downswing, increasing my distance as much as 10%, and I recommend them. At address most golfers will turn the left foot about 30° to the left. When i tried this particular stance i always felt that my hip turn was being checked too soon and that as a consequence I was losing power. My left foot is now turned out 45°. In addition, I have moved my right foot forward just a little so that my stance is a slightly open one, rather than closed as is more conventional. Thus I set up like a boxer who is about to throw a long right hand punch and who must get his body completely out of the way if he expects to hit his opponent hard. On the downswing i am able, like the boxer, to ach...

There is no need for Panic in a Fairway Trap

You have driven into a fairway sand trap and are not only some distance from the green, but also have a poor lie. What can be done? Well firstly stay calm, for you have not necessarily lost a stroke. Assume that you are a seven-iron distance from the green, but the difficult lie indicates that it would be impossible to reach it with that club. Provided the lip of the trap will not interfere, use a five-iron and hit what amounts to a long explosion shot. Play the ball in its normal position between the feet, making sure you have a good firm stance in the sand so that you will not slip during the Swing. Open the face of the club and take it back slightly to the outside, using a full backswing. Aim toward the left of the target, because you will be hitting a fading shot, and hit just as close behind the ball as the sand will permit. Hit hard with the right hand, but do not let the wrists turn over at or just after impact. A five-iron explosion hit in this fashion is going to carry ap...
