Are there any peer reviewed golf journals, seems like there is alot of contradictory information in the major golf magazines.

I went to teaching conference before I gave my first lesson.  I didn't have to, just felt I should have some training before I start.  Two of the main speakers have articles out almost every month.  They both said what they write and what ends up in print are not the same.  One lost his job when he made the statement in public. \n\nI was so confused after the second day, felt out of place sitting in a room with coat tie and half everyone age.   This was 20 years ago.  I went to a driving range just outside of Austin Texas to check it out.  I started watching this guy give lessons that I could relate to.  Two guys sat behind me and made comments but I didn't turn around.  This guy kept everything  simple.  When the guy behind starting taking he lesson, I realized it was Tom Kite.  I asked his dad what the instructors name was and he said Harvey Penick.  I said Harvey who?\n\nThe PGA is coming up with some volunteer certification programs, I don't think that will solve the problem.  \n\nOne problem no one has prove anything and no checks.  I came unglued one night when I came across a infocomerical with my cart boy in it.  He said he played on the Pepsi Tour and was Teacher of the Year....... I set him to take his PAT the next week and never saw him again.  The PGA section called me and said he shot 115 on the first round, so they sent him packing.

This was exactly what I meant when I answered the Tiger vs Phil question. Only this time, Phil didn't have the magic to save par or even bogey. And he has no one to blame but himself.\n\nPhil's course management for the week was excellent right up until the last hole, and then he went for it. I could understand that mentality if he were trailing by a stroke, or maybe....MAYBE...if he were tied for the lead coming home. But the fact of the matter was he was up by a stroke. Had he played an iron off the tee, played a long iron in and even landed around the green, worst case scenario he's in a playoff.\n\nThis is the mental block he has to get away from the become a seriously dominant force on the PGA. Perhaps he needs to add Dr Bob Rotella to his new entourage. The go-for-broke attitude is entertaining sometimes, but when you have a shot at the US Open, and then essentially give it away, it's time to re-evaluate your position on that kind of thing.

Hopefully I can; Dependent on how many years ago this was, the only golf course in that area was Woodlands Manor and the pro there was Ken Adwick, who had a teaching article in Golf weekly and Golf Monthly amongst others, he indeed was one of the most respected teachers of the game along side the likes of John Jacobs. He wrote many books on the game through the seventies, I'm sure if you do a search on his name you will get all the info you need. I was one of those lucky enough to have gained from his indepth knowledge of the golf swing, but more importantly on how to think your way around the golf course. If you did receive lessons from this man you certainly have a right to brag. Hope this is of help and good bragging.

Yes. Thank goodness I had three witnesses too. It was on a hole that was only 170 yards, but what the heck. I had an opportunity to fill out a form at the clubhouse and answer questions about what type of club I used, what type of ball, shoes, glove, etc. It was fun and I had been playing for about six years when I did it. I originally thought I hit it past the green, but couldn't see until we looked in the hole. Fourth hole at San Jose Municipal Golf Course in California. Whee!

Where do you live?  There are many places but Golf Galaxy has many locations and has a great selection. The staff is great and very knowledgeable.  The have indoor simulators that show you clubhead speed and ball flight to make sure you are being fit correctly. Golfsmith is also very good but doesn't have as many locations (3 vs. 4 or 5)  \nwww.golfgalaxy.com\nwww.golfsmith.com\nThose would be my first suggestions.

I am also addicted to it. Those people who think golf is "dumb" have obviouslly never tried playing the game. The first time I played it I was hooked. I have played almost every sport you could imagine, and without question golf is the toughest sport I have ever played. I guess that is what makes it so appealing.

The best I have ever seen is at tennisone.com. Even if you have to pay a few bucks to access all of its features, it's well worth it. Good videos of top players, excellent analyses of all the strokes, and solid instructional lessons from experts.\nAnother I like is by Oscar Wegner who has a teaching style that really works for newcomers.\nThe USPTA also has instructional modules, and they're good, but I like the prior two better.

I think you need to narrow it down.  The rules go to the www.usga.org website.  Maybe you should look at the changes in golf clubs or the latest big move in golf www.playgolfamerica.com   You can find more information on the golf 20/0 website.  I have several on my blog roll.  All the so called golf industry leaders have developed some programs to promote golf to the masses.  You can find all the details on those sites.  This week is a week long promotion for women's golf.  They have another promotion called bring your daughter the golf course, and last month was the free golf lesson month.  You may have seen the TV adds with MLB, NBA, NFL and actors promoting golf.

You may be referring to prewing routine which is very important.  From detail and pictures go to www.pga.com improve your game section.  Look at the preswing and once you understand that check out the swing section.  You can also sign up for a free golf lesson from a local PGA pro at www.playgolfamerica.com \nGood Luck

I love to play golf. Watching it is another story. It is really boring watching it for the first day or two but then I always like to watch it on the last day to see who wins or if there will be a shot out. I just got new clubs of ebay. I really never had a real brand before. I have always had knock off brands. The clubs that I had but are to old now are ping knock offs. They were good. The ones that I just bought are nike knock offs. The are the knock offs of the nike slingshot. They look and feel just like them. Thee hit just fine too. I got them off ebay for only 180. The real nike slingshots would cost me 600. So that is why i like knock offs. They are just as good but CHEAP. but woods i do have name brands. I have all big bertha woods.
