Rule 16 \n\nRequirements for Hole Location on the Putting Green \n\nQ.  What are the requirements for establishing a hole location on the putting green? \n\nA.  The USGA frequently receives requests for guidelines with respect to selection of hole locations on the putting greens, particularly during competitions. There are no rules regarding hole locations, so there is no such thing as an "illegal" hole location. The USGA believes that many factors affect selection of hole locations. The first and most important is good judgment in deciding what will give fair results. Do not be tricky in locating holes. Following are specific points:  \n\n\n\n\nThere must be enough putting green surface between the hole and the front and the sides of the green to accommodate the required shot. For example, if the hole requires a long iron or wood shot to the green, the hole should be located deeper in the green and further from its sides than should be the case if the hole requires a short pitch shot. In any case, it is recommended that generally the hole be located at least four paces from any edge of the green. If a bunker is close to the edge, or if the ground slopes away from the edge, the distance should be greater, especially if the shot is more than a pitch. Consideration should be given to fair opportunity for recovery after a reasonably good shot that just misses the green.

Mike this is a toughie buddy. Turning a fade into a draw takes a lot of hard work and effort. It certainly will not happen overnight. \n\nSome of what the guy above said is correct. But it will only work depending upon how you hit your fade now. David Duval and Paul Azinger have the strongest grips on the planet but they both hit a fade....so making your grip strong isn't going to do anything if you're hitting a "hold" fade. (Delaying your release through impact and "holding" onto the shot)\n\nI actually have no idea what to tell you except to go see a PGA pro and tell him/her what you're after, that you'd like to try to start drawing the ball, I'm sure they'd be able to point you in the right direction. \n\nOn a side note as far as distance is concerned.....460CC drivers will give you another 10 yards....try to strike the ball one groove above the geometric center of the clubface....that's easy distance right there! \n\nGood luck!

It will depend upon the length of the hole and what type of hazards the hole might require you to carry off the tee. \n\nMost average women cannot carry the ball over 120 yards off the tee, so a designer has to be mindful of that fact when placing the women's tees on a golf course. \n\nBut overall, on most courses the difference will be between 30 and 50 yards.

Yea, by pure luck! I'm not a golfer and couldn't tell you what club. I do use the Happy Gilmore swing. People laugh at me but that's how I got my hole in one! Good luck!

I've seen it done that way....although once it gets wet and dries it's REAL fast....not very indicative of the usual greens we amateurs play on ;)

Hole \nThe “hole’’ must be 41/4 inches (108 mm) in diameter and at least 4 inches (101.6 mm) deep. If a lining is used, it must be sunk at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) below the putting green surface unless the nature of the soil makes it impracticable to do so; its outer diameter must not exceed 41/4 inches (108 mm).

Yo Mick! A "club foot"? \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_foot\n\nIf you're playing with me and you've got a club foot, I'll give you the one footers man....otherwise I think you're violating the rules of golf by striking the ball with something other than the head of your club!\n\nhttp://www.usga.org/playing/rules/rules_of_golf.html\n\nSee rule 14...

Most average players hit a six or seven iron 150 yards. Add 15 yards for each extra club, (if that makes sense).  6 iron for 150 yards, 7 iron 135 yds, 8 iron 120 yards etc.\nIf you can hit a driver 220 yards, a three wood should be about 190, a five wood 180, seven wood 165.   Most golfers will say they hit everything further than I suggest.  Try to determine what club you need for 150 yards and work from there.   What Tiger woods does with his clubs is unbelievable.  He can hit a six iron about 220 yards and a Driver 360.

I predetermine a spot where I want the ball to stop, and bare that in mind. At address, you should looking at the ball not the hole, or the imaginary spot where you target your ball to stop. Try hitting on the practice putting carpet until you know the right strength to give your putt. Golf is a target game, like dart.

It depends on conditions.  If it's very windy, which it can be, #7 can be almost impossible.  However, on a calm day, #7 is just a pitch and putt.\n\n  #8 is difficult because you need an accurate drive and the 2nd shot is long to mid-iron shot over the ocean, Nicklaus calls it the "most dramatic 2nd shot in golf."  \n\n#17 is difficult because it's a long-iron shot to a small, very protected green.  Also if you land on the wrong side of the green you have to putt over a large ridge.  Wind is a huge factor on this one as well.  \n\nThe most picturesque, in my opinion: the green on 6, holes 7 & 8, and 18 is always amazing.

A regular golf course has a fairway from the tee box to the green.  The links golf course has hitting areas.  The area's in between are left in it's natural state.  \n\nLinks  The term for a course built on linksland, which is land reclaimed from the ocean. It is not just another term for a golf course.  \nhttp://www.playgolfamerica.com/pages/glossary.cfm?letter=L

The USGA has issued guidelines \nThe current guidelines are these for men:\n\nPar 3 - Up to 250 yards\nPar 4 - 251 to 470 yards\nPar 5 - 471 yards to 690 yards\nPar 6 - 691 yards or more\n\nNow many holes may play longer or shorter than the posted yardage.  That is why they only have guidelines.  A lot of golf  courses have par 4's over 470 yards.
