The Ultimate Guide to Breaking 80
It is a well-known fact that the vast majority of internet golfers regularly shoot under par from the tips, need xx-stiff shafts in all their clubs (including the putter!) and are just keeping their game sharp until they get a shot on tour. However, in the real world, this isn’t the case. An oft-cited statistic says that most people who golf won’t break 100, never mind breaking 80. This is probably true if we include those who pick up their clubs once a year at most on a golf day at work. For those of us who play regularly or semi-regularly, we can fix our sites a little higher.
How To Practice Putting
good putting makes for better scoring and more enjoyment on the course
You will often hear that a good short game is the key to shaving strokes off your score. Whilst it is true that keeping it in play off the tee and hitting a few more greens will make a difference, holing more putts is always going to make the biggest dent when you look to take a few shots off that card. Just imagine going from 36 putts to 32, for example. There aren’t a lot of areas that will cut four shots in one go.
Teaching Golf to Kids:Which Tips Work Best?
It is a pretty common belief that the sooner you start hitting the little white ball, the better you can potentially become. Everyone knows about Tiger smashing it aged two, right? Of course, for every tour pro who was given his first club before he could walk, there are hundreds who never want to see a golf course again after being taken there daily by pushy parents as kids or being told to swing in front of the mirror every day after school.

Should You Choose a Golf Rangefinder or GPS device?
Sometimes you aren’t right next to the marker post!
Walking into a golf pro shop or sporting goods store, every golfer is confronted with hundreds of devices promising to take dozens of strokes off your game. Some of these devices are clearly gimmicks meant to skim your wallet. Some of them look like they might be potentially helpful while overpromising results.

Understanding Slope for Golf Rangefinders
Not all Golf Courses are Flat
Any golfer who has played an even slightly hilly course knows that changes in elevation can greatly affect their game. These changes, if not properly taken into account, can be detrimental to your final score and in 2017 there is no reason why this should still be the case.
This is actually obvious to anyone from hacker to pro. We have all stood on an elevated tee and tried to guess just how many clubs difference it really makes. Of course, we usually get it completely wrong, hence the need for something that really tells us the difference that slope is going to make to the shot.
Golf equipment manufacturers know all about slope and have included features that are aimed at helping golfers compensate for these changes. If you are in the market for the best golf rangefinder with slope, it is important to understand just what it is and how the right golf rangefinder with slope can help take strokes off your game.

I mean, how much fun was it really seeing your ‘perfect’ shot fall into the water/sand because the flag was ten yards further than you thought?
There are plenty of options now for distance measurement, but a golf gps watch is certainly one of the easiest.
