The Secret about Golf Clubs

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Are there secrets about golf clubs and playing a good game, Wellllll  Yes and no – Heres the thing. If your just starting out a fairly new to modern set of clubs are useful. Not brand new top of the line set of clubs.

Although if your a good golfer a fitted and great set of clubs is a huge asset. If your starting out no need to spend large amounts of money on golf clubs. You can get them used at ebay, or craigslist . Sure they will be a few years old and have a few scuffs on them, but the cost will be really really cheap. And Who knows you might not even like the game.

I will share a little secret with you. This is how I learned that golf clubs really dont mean spit. When I was 19 I played golf for a few years with my dad, uncles and a few friends. Well I started playing more and more so I figured that I might want to improve my game with a golf pro. So I call around and get the local pro at a club close buy. Then the real lessons began

So I show up nice and early, stretch out and clean up my 5 year old clubs. The instructor asks me to hit a few while he watches…. yeah I’m a little nervous. First swing slice, second swing slice , third swing miss, damm I hardly ever miss. So I blame the club (of course) LOL.

The instructor grabs the club and gives me a little “well lets take a look” , Bings one straight as an arrow and about the correct distance for the club. What the ? Here Im thinking I need a new set of shinnies, and master blaster over there hits a perfect one. Lucky is what I said ,,,,,, Practice what I teach you he said,  then you will hit the same way I do.

That was  a good summer, but I grew a bit taller and a bit stronger and the lessons that old feller taught me became obsolete by the time next season rolled around. The point of the story though, Its really you need to be taught how to use the club, then when your good with bad to medium clubs you can get yourself a new basket of frenchfries.

Golf  Swing Lesson ? What – Who needs lessons on how to swing a golf club? I have been hitting golf balls for years, I dont need a lesson. I might need to be a tweaking the almighty swing though.

Ha hahaahahha . Then why does my club dig up about 3 inchs of dirt every time I swing , except my 3 wood. That club hits em perfect and long.

Ok if  I move the ball ahead a bit. No , humm that did not work. Ok move it back then. Yep that did it , crap only worked for one shot.

Does this self talk all sound familiar ? This is my conversation every time I play golf. Thing is this should be an easy game for an athlete , No ?

Hell No – I think if your a good athlete you figure you can go it alone. Bottom line with golf you need to get jiggy with an instructor, or someone who knows what the hell they are doing. Lessons are criticle in this game , no really

Next article I will explain how I went from zero to hero on the golf course , I would be last when picked for a game.

Till Next week.  I hope you enjoy the Golf  Swing Lesson Site.
