I had the same problem last summer and this year i am one of the best putters in my club. These are the three things i did to improve my game. the first drill is to go out right before your round and just putt around. DO NOT putt to a hole, but rather aim for something maybe a leaf or a nut that may have fallen on the green and try to get down the speed of the greens, this may sound weird but once you get on the 1st green you will already be a step ahead of your opponents. The second drill is the short putt drill. I have missed over 300 3 and under footers until one of my freinds taught me this drill. When you under 3 feet instead of looking at youe ball or the hole look at a spot on the green that you want the ball to roll past and focus ont that you should make about 90% of them from now on. Finally the old Phil Mickelson drill set up 10 balls around a green and putt them until they all go in. I just thought of a another one i do for speed. Its bozo buckets a 6 inch, 1 foot,3 foot, 5 foot, and 15 foot putt all lined up in a straight like and then put them in and if you miss set them all up again, until you make them all in a row .

Normally, and to get an "official" handicap, the golf pro at your club needs to do it.  However, it's a fairly simply process.  You have to play several rounds of golf on a full 18 hole golf course and keep your scores.  You don't have to be the same course, but that is recommended.  Once you have the scores, total them up, divide the total by the number of rounds played, and subtract 72.\n\nExample:  you played 3 rounds of golf and scored 85, 87, 100 (bad day, that).  Total the scores: 85 + 87 + 100 = 272.\n\nDivided the total by the number of rounds played: 272 / 3 = 90.66666 (91)\n\nSubtract 72 (par for 18 holes) from the new total: 91 - 72 = 19.\n\nYou have a handicap of 19

Your best bet would be to know someone who is a member at that course. They should be able to let you play as a guest of theirs. Or, you could do what we did one time, bribe the starter. Slip him $50 or $100 and most of the time he will "look the other way".

I love golf! Practice at the driving range using your wedge, 9, 8 irons.  Chipping and putting are the key to the game.\n\nOption for playing with better golfers.  Go ahead and tee off.  If it's a good shot play it.  If not play your second shot from your cart partner's lie...explaining you are new to the game and don't want to hold up the foursome.  Don't keep score at first, it will only make you mad...really.\n\nRELAX is the ultimate key to golf.  It is a GAME to be PLAYED and should be fun not work.\n\nif you're ever in myrtle beac, I'll play golf with you!!

Tiger played really well all week. He hit a lot of fairways and a lot of greens. Yesterday, unfortunately, his putter abandoned him. During the first 3 days, he averaged around 26 putts/round. Yesterday, he needed 33 putts. In fact, I can almost guarantee that, as he was finishing his round yesterday, he was thinking that he should have won the tournament by about 4-5 shots.

You can do several things.  \nFirst - work on your short game.  Spend 20 minutes 3 times a week putting and the same for chipping.  You want your chips close enough to the hole you can one putt.  Putting no 3 putts.  \n \nSecond - Make notes on your score card - How many times did you lose one stroke because for your drive or 3 putt.  That will help you find out what areas to work on.\n\nthird - Mental game - Look at the hole and chose high percentage shots you can hit.  Let's say you want to shot 90.  Look at a par 4 and figure out what 3 shots you can hit to get on the green.  Don't waste shots with clubs you can't hit.  A lot of people hate 30 yard shots, don't put yourself in that position.  Hit a different club so you are 70 yards out.  \n\nLast - Next month is free lesson month go to www.playgolfamerica.com and sign up with one of your local pros and go to the improve your game section www.pga.com and look at all the tips \n\nHave fun

There are bunches of on-line packages, but it's also pretty easy to find a decent deal on a block of rooms and then make your own golf tee times.  I've done both - the packages will save you a few bucks, but making your own reservations lets you choose exactly what courses you play.\n\nAnd FWIW, here are a bunch of random thoughts based on my experience:\n\nLate Winter and Spring are the busiest times in the Grand Strand, but you can play golf there all year long.  Mid-summer is generally not busy on the courses, but it can be brutally hot!\n\nCheapest golf rates are typically Dec-Jan and Jul-Aug.  Highest golf rates are Mar-May and Sep-Nov.  Room rates tend to follow the beach season more than the golf season.\n\nIf you want to play 36 a day, you probably need to make all tee times in advance and at nearby courses . . . unless you go in the summer -- otherwise, you will run out of daylight.  Myrtle Beach National, Legends, Wild Wing, and others have groupings of excellent courses that would permit playing 36 even on short days.  But beware of frost delays in the winter -- a very common occurrence especially in clear weather.\n\nIf you don't have afternoon tee times, you can stop in at one the big golf stores in the morning and ask who has after-12 specials going on, because the courses often call the stores to promote those specials and it's much easier than calling around to find them.  I have used this often to select an afternoon 18 and save big bucks.\n\nI've never been really disappointed at any of the courses there, but some of my favorites are The Witch, Mooreland, Man O' War, and Tidewater . . . my least favorites include Wicked Stick and Azalea Sands, but even those were good courses (just not as good as some of the others IMHO).\n\nAnd lastly, I can also heartily recommend Kiawah Island just south of Charleston.  More $$$ than Mrytle, but absolutely wonderful golf courses, accommodations, and packages.  The Ocean Course is one place everyone should play at least once.\n\nHope this helps!

it depends on the person.  the odds of me getting a hole in one compared to the odds of tiger woods getting a hole in one are completely different.

There's a couple of things you can do. Go to the most exclusive, private country club in your area, and offer your services. Talk to the proshop and let them know you want to learn.  Secondly, watch for amatuer tournaments in your area, things like city championships, state qualifying tournaments, etc. Go there a day early when players are practicing and hang around the putting green or driving range, offer your caddying skills.

sure all the way back, i will give u 3 a side. Automatic press if u get 3 down. press anytime if u are behind. either party can press for the hole and the hole only at anytime the opponents tee shot is in the air. be it going out of bounds, woods, water or fairway. trash talk is acceptable. My "hanicap" is plus 2.7 on a 119 slope rated course 6500 back tees. built in 1937. with postage stamp greens. let me know ok?

You need to be fit for it maybe twice to make sure.  I attended a special Titliest fitting one time.  They had 75 drivers and the results was amazing.  They sad thing is they only have two of them, but several companies have similar stuff.  You can go to the Titliest, Ping and most other major manufactures web sites and find out when they are having a Demo day in your area.  You can also sign up for a free fitting at www.playgolfamerica.com.  The chances for getting the right club without being fit is slim.

If you have a "Roger Dunn" golf store nearby, call them and find out when they are going to have a sale where manufactures come out to display their wares.  Lots and lots of used equipment at a pretty good price.  Also manufacturers are on site to "fit" you to a specific club.  They ask you your golf ability, length of time playing, how you play and what is your handicap.  All these factored in and they can all give you a pretty good "sizing"... This way you have a lesser chance of wasting your money.  Good luck and enjoy the game.  It is the greatest game ever played.

You need to be able to hit all the clubs.  There are plenty of golf holes that require a longer drive.  If you only drive the ball 210 yards, you will never have a chance to reach a par five in two for example.  For me, I'm most happy with a slight draw because I know that when the ball hits the ground it is going to run.  \nMaybe what you need is a new driver with a little more loft to get the ball flying through the air a little longer?  Or perhaps try teeing the Calloway up a little higher and playing it more toward your left foot?  Not sure what you are doing now but just a couple things to think about.  With a 200 yard 5-wood, you should expect more out of your driver.
