You can't, not enough holes on the table mate... of course you can always start hammering some new ones.... Good luck

There is no easy way, the correct way is with a proper golf swing. This is achieved through hours and hours of practice and lessons with a golf professional.

focus on getting your right wrist to cross over during impact - it's like baseball - if you're early, you pull the ball...if you're late, you hit it the other way - you gotta find the swing where the ball goes up the middle - most golfers have a lazy finish - think finish with your hands, turn the club over and you won't leave the face open and wipe it - it'll take some practice but you'll learn how to release the club

For yahoo pool....\nWhen shooting the cue ball, use the left mouse button to move the cue stick \n     around the cue ball. When you have positioned the cue stick where you want,\n     click and hold the right mouse button. Pull back on the mouse until you have\n      the desired power (displayed on the right side of the table). Let go of the right \n     mouse button to take your shot. To move the cue ball when you have ball in hand,\n     simply left-click the cue ball and drag it to the desired spot and drop it. \n     For more precise aiming you may use the arrow keys to line up your shot as well. \nTaken from the How To Play link on the main page for the game.

erm, bit hard to show you on the net. You rest the pool cue (tip end pointing away from you) between your thumb and finger of your non-writing hand, hold the cue with the other hand near the other end of the cue, slide the cue back and forth a bit to get used to it, then hit the white with the tip in the centre of the ball.\n\nGood luck

I can't speak about on line games, but carom tables can be found if you know where to look.  In my home town, there are four pool halls.  Two of them have one carom table each.  I'm going to be competing in a straight pool tournament this weekend at one of these pool halls, and I noticed some of the other literature.  This pool hall has a three-cushion league and an upcoming three-cushion tournament.  We are actually kind of lucky to have choices like that for a city my size.  Snooker, however just hasn't caught on here.  I wouldn't say that you could call either carom games or snooker games "popular" in this part of the Midwest.  Still, there will always be a loyal following for these other cue sports.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

You play ten rounds, and take the best three rounds and average those.  To obtain a handicap you should play by the rules that RCGA, and USGA put out.  (no cheating - no muligans)\n\nMy husband is a golf pro and he said it was a quick way to explain it.

Pull back on the mouse until you have\n      the desired power (displayed on the right side of the table). Let go of the right \n     mouse button to take your shot.

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 .

Shot putts to make sure you accelarte as you hit the ball, set the putter about an 1/2 inch behind the ball.  The trick is to think you have cheated yourself on the back swing so you have to make sure you accelarte the stroke.  That is OK came form the pro at Doral.

Try to contact the coach of the team. To play, you'll need a nice, expensive set of golf clubs, proper clothing and the know-how of how to play golf. If you aren't perfect to play at college level yet, there are online golf tutorials or you can hire a trainer to help you. Good luck and get a hole in one!!!

Several suggestions for how to improve your game off the tee.\n\n1) Try using a 3-wood instead of a driver. For most high handicap golfers the difference in distance is not a big change, but the accuracy and consistency improve dramatically.\n\n2) Slow and steady on the back swing. While you need to get the club in motion, having a fast backswing just screws up your balance. Practice by taking the club back very slowly and you will see quick improvement.\n\n3) Let the club do the work! Overswinging will only result in topping the ball or having a wicked slice or hook. Establishing a nice easy rythmn will give you the most consistent swing.

Stick to Riley - they're the best! I've had mine for over 15 years and, through advice, my friends have bought the same. No problems to report so why look for something different. I can't believe it's going to change your game that much. If anything, I get a buzz out of saying that my cue is very old (a bit like me) but it still works as well as it used to.\nOn a serious note, if you are worried about the type of wood, weight etc. then buy your cue from a snooker club. Most clubs will allow you to 'try out' the cue before purchase which may put you at ease.\nYes, I suppose that you will feel more confident with a 'good' cue in your hand but, personally, I don't think it matters that much.\nI could rabble on for ages but I don't know how good you are or could become so what I say could be fruitless.\nDon't spend a fortune on a dream. A lot of the top snooker players started out with not much more than a piece of wood with a chalked tip at the end.\nIf you are not thinking of going professional or such-like spend your money on more play rather than the tools you work with.\nGood luck - I'll look out for your name!

the info is from Rick Martino is Director of Instruction for The PGA of America\n\nHitting a Draw\n\nTo draw the ball from right-to-left, you want your clubhead to enter the hitting area from inside the target line. The simplest approach is to close your address position. In other words, pull your trail side back from the target line.\n\nThis sets your feet, knees, hips and shoulders in position to make an inside-to-down-the-line-to-inside swing, which will put a counter-clockwise spin on the ball, causing it to curve to the left.\n\nYou need to aim the clubface where you want the ball to start. This swing shape will allow your arms and club to rotate faster than your body through the hitting area. Meanwhile, this swing thought will also help ensure that you swing along a proper inside-to-outside path to produce a draw.\n\nThe best club to practice a draw or a fade with is a 5-iron, since it has enough loft to easily get the ball airborne, while still putting enough sidespin on the ball. The more loft a club has, the more difficult it is to curve the ball.\n\nWhen playing a draw shot, the ball tends to have lower flight and run farther than it would if it were played with a standard shot, because you are actually taking "effective" loft off the club. In other words, a 5-iron will really have the loft of a 4-iron at impact. So, make sure that you select a club with enough loft to play this shot.\n\nIt is difficult to hit a hook with a long iron, because the shape of your swing causes the clubface to close down as it reduces the true and effective loft of the club.\n\nConversely, you need to address the ball with a slightly open stance when hitting a fade -- with your target or forward foot pulled back away from the target line. This promotes both taking the club away from and returning to the ball outside the target line. This swing path allows the clubface to cut across the ball at impact, producing a clockwise spin that curves the ball from left-to-right.\n\nBecause the swing you make with a fade places the body ahead of the club, a fade will cause the ball to fly higher than normal and often stop more quickly when it hits the ground. As a result, many people believe it is a safer, more easily controlled shot than a draw.\n\nHowever, keep in mind that the shape of a fade swing actually increases the effective loft of a club. While the ball will fly higher than a normal shot, it won't carry as far. So, in effect, when playing a fade shot with an 8-iron, you will actually produce a shot that has the trajectory and distance of an 8 1/2-iron.
