No, because golf is about hitting a ball in the fewest number of strokes to get it into a hole, not about walking the golf course.

Factors \n1.  Regular Tee Shot - New golfers or golfers who average over 95 should consider hitting a 3 wood off the tee.  They will have better control and maybe more distance.  Hit the driver on the holes it can't hurt you.  Use it on a wide open hole.  \n\n2.  When deciding what club to hit off the tee on a certain hole here are some things to consider:\n  a.  A tight short hole hit a 5 iron to the 150 yard mark.\n  b.  Long tight hole you may want to hit 3 wood.  Unless you have control over your driver only hit it when you feel good about it and it will save you a stroke.  A par 5 that you can't hit in 2.  Pick a club that you control and still hit the green in 3 shots.  A long par 4 you can't hit in 2 with a good drive, why risk it?\n\nThe funny thing is none of us like to play that way.  We want to hit driver.  We all could play a lot better if we stick will shots we can hit.  \n\nYou can find some good articles about what to use off the tee at www.pga.com improve your game section  \n  http://www.pga.com/improve/tips/techniques/improve_kirk082304.cfm\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/swing/improve_polites110104.cfm

No, they are not held to the same strict tolerances as OEM clubs. You might have 5 clubs out of your set that do not have consistent lofts and lie....you might notice over a period of time that you always hit your 8 and 9 iron good and your 7 and 6 iron bad...\n\nJust for my piece of mind, I would spend the extra couple hundred and not have to worry about equipment being the culprit behind bad shots. \n\nGood Luck!

Handicapping is a system that allows golfers of different abilities compete against one another.  Although there are a number of variable factors (i.e. course difficulty), your handicap is roughly proximate to the number of strokes over par you would shoot over 18 holes.\n\nFor instance, someone who averages 82 (on a par 72 course) would have a handicap of ten.  One who averages 72 would have a zero handicap (also known as a "scratch" golfer).  If one player has a ten handicap and another has a twenty handicap, the ten handicap gives the 20 handicap ten strokes (to account for their differences in their respective handicaps).\n\nIn match player, holes are ranked 1 -18 according to their difficulty.  If a 15 handicapper plays a 20 handicapper, the 15 gives the 20 one stroke on the five most difficult holes.  If the difference in handicap is greater than 18, the stronger player must concede two strokes.  For example, if a 6 hancicapper plays a 26 handicapper, the 6 concedes two strokes on the two most difficult holes, and one stroke on the remaining 16.\n\nNote that the handicap system is only used by amateurs and never by professionals as pros are assumed to have a zero/scratch handicap.

it's a golfing term. par is the 'norm' for the hole you are playing. 'below par' means that you have taken too many shots for the hole, which is therfore bad

I'm not sure - but did you know that most golf ball have between 300 and 450 dimples?

I have noticed that the majority of golfers are older.\nGolf can actually be a good workout if you carry your bag.\nYou will get in several miles of vigorous walking, especially on a hilly course.\n\nAs far as liking a sport? Well?  The challenge of hitting a ball 400 yards, with a club, and doing it in just 4-5 shots is a challenge that is almost addicting, as you strive to make that 'great' shot..\n\nThink about it.  You are taking a ball less than 2 inchs, and smacking it only a few times to get it into a little hole some distance away.  \n\nThe bonuses of golf are the cute cart girls, who bring refreshments, and meeting new people, and a feeling of being in the great outdoors.\n\nAnd the best reason to play golf is you get to break away from your regular chores.

Depends.  A lot of great baseball players also have a good golf game.  Some people who are not very athletic may have trouble.

"NFG research shows that only 22% of all golfers regularly\n\nscore better than 90 for 18 holes on a regulation length course. For\n\nfemales, the percentage drops to 7%, and for males it goes up to 25%.\n\nThe average 18-hole score on a full-size course is 97 for men and 114 for\n\nwomen. It's an even 100 for all golfers. Only 6% of the men and 1% of the\n\nwomen say they break 80 regularly."

The handicap is an average of how many strokes over par you are. If shoot 83, 82, then 81 on a par 72 course, your handicap would be 10 because you average 10 strokes over par. Make sense? Holes are ranked as handicaps to determine the difficulty. #1 handicap being the most difficult and #18 the least. Hope this helps!

Most will shoot accurate to 100 yards.  I have taken many deer with a shotgun at the 80-100 yards away.  A rifled barrel with a saboted round will make a 150 yard shot possible with not problems for a good shooter.

Every course has a set number of "par."\n\nPar is when you hit the ball a certain number of times. Let's say the par is 3. That means, according to the course, you should be able to sink your ball in 3 shots.

Yeh, 423 has more dimples than 408, otherwise it's just very technical on aerodynamic that doesn't make sense to most golfers. You need to hit at near zero handicap to really feel the different in golf balls, let alone the number of dimples.

The golf ball has between on average 380 and 430 dimples.  The best selling balls are in that range
