easy \n\nU make a triangle between the centers of the 3 circls \nmeaning it would have three lines = 2*R = 2m\nso the hight of the triangle would be root of ( R*R - 0.5R * 0.5R)\nso it would be the root of (3) which is( 1.73)\nthe hight would be 1 + 1.73+ 1 = 3.73 m

Use cardboard, clay, or sugar cubs.  Cardoard would be the easiest.

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).

A golf ball has a size limit of 1.68 inch. in diameter (almost all balls nowadays are 1.68 in diameter), it must not be heavier than 1.62 ounces and the golf ball must be round (can you believe it?!).\n\nTraditional three-piece wound ball\n\nBalata, litium and Surlyn covers have allowed wound balls to be played by those looking for both distance and high spin. \n\nBalata vs. Surlyn\nBalata and Surlyn are ball-covering materials. But there are typically other differences between balata and surlyn balls besides the cover.\n\nBalata\nA balata covered ball is typically a three-piece ball: a core wound with rubber and covered with balata. There has been a lot of discussion as to what "balata" is. Let's just say that balata is a soft substance which leads to cuts and nicks. This "softness" is said to offer "better playability" which is to say that the golfer can "shape" his/her shot (fade/draw), and get more "action" (backspin) on the greens.\n\nSurlyn\nA surlyn covered ball is typically a two-piece ball: a solid core with the surlyn cover. Surlyn is a man made "uncuttable" substance which is designed to eliminate the cuts and nicks. The drawbacks of the harder ball are that it is more difficult to "shape" his/her shot (fade/draw), and get "action" (backspin) on the greens.\n\nBalata\nSofter cover\nBetter spin\nscuffs and cuts easily\n"Works" the ball better because of spin (Draw, fade, backspin)\nUsually three-piece ball (Liquid-filled core, wound rubber, and cover)\nUsually more expensive:\nHigher first cost\nShorter life\n\nSurlyn\nHarder cover\nNot as much spin\nresists scuffs and cuts\nMore distance\nUsually two-piece ball (Solid core and cover)\nUsually less expensive:\nLower first cost\nLonger life\n\n \n\nCompression\nCompression of a golf ball is designed to match the "feel" of the ball to the golfer's preference. Typical compression ratings are between 80 and 100, with most players using a 90 compression ball as a compromise. Many above average golfers tend to agree that hitting a 100 compression ball feels like "hitting a rock". Contrary to golfing myth, there is no correlation between compression and distance.

The best thing would be to see a professional golfer and he can advise you on how to improve your game. Yahoo's golf tips suggests selecting a target area and focussing on that. \n\n# Stand behind your ball on the tee and pick out a 10- to 15-yard landing area, then picture an imaginary line from that spot back to your ball.\n# As you address the ball, focus on an intermediate target a few feet in front of you. Align your ball square to that point, and don't worry about hazards, distant mountains or anything else.\n# Right before you pull the trigger, take one last look at your landing area. Take a cue from the Tour players, who by this point are only thinking about getting their ball to that spot.\n# Make a confident swing, knowing that you've done what it takes to line up the shot. Practice this on the range, and you'll be ready to conquer any intimidating visual tricks.\n\nThere are also plenty of training aids available see Yahoo directory.

This is the set up for the R7 460,...\n\nIf you want to hit a draw, put the 14 gram weight in the heel and the two gram weight in the toe.  This allows the toe of the club to close quicker than the heel because there is less weight in the toe.  This promotes a draw.  \n\nIf you want to fade the ball, reverse the weighting in the club.  Put the 14 gram weight in the toe and the 2 gram weight in the heel.  This allows the heel to close faster than the toe thus promoting a fade.\n\nYou can also go to taylormadegolf.com and buy additional weights in other denominations.  You always have to keep 16 grams of weighting in the club for it to work correclty and remain compliant with USGA club specs. \n\nIf you want less draw, raise the weight in the toe, say to a 4 gram, and then put a 12 gram in the heel.  They actually sell a set of all weights for $150.00 at the PGA Super Store.   If you want the set up for the R7 425, shoot me an email and I will give it to you,... same idea but four weights instead of two,...

Practice putting like a mad man... I'm talking several times a week for a couple of hours at a time.  If you can one put or two put everything then becoming a single golfer should be easy.\n\nShort game is important too, but that takes more practice time.  I think you'll see fastest results from developing solid putting skills.

well, you could be an architect and be using a 30-60-90 triangle and you needed to know a particular side of it. you can use x times the square root of 3, x being the shorter leg, to find the length of the longer leg.

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 will look for the distance first , if it is 150 yards from the hole I will use 7 or 8 iron . If the wind is blowing towards me I will use 7 iron , If the wind is blowing towards the green I will use 8 iron . Also, if you are facing a short Par 4 (about 280 yards) you can use driver to hit the ball straight to the hole, but becareful, if your driving technique is not good( always slice) then, I will suggest you to use 3 wood then use a sand wedge to chip the ball to the green and putt for birdie . By the way , if you want to test wheather the wind is blowing towards the hole or towards you , you just need to pick up some grass from the fairway or rough , and see how the grass moves in direction, if the grass goes towards you, it means that the wind is blowing towards you, if the grass goes towards the hole, it means that the wind is blowing to the hole, so try this method and give me 10 marks for the best answer .

1.   Stand with your feet closer together than when you normally swing.  \n  \n2.   Position yourself so that the ball is closer to your back foot.  \n  \n3.   Use a flop wedge, also known as a 60-degree wedge. A sand wedge can be used in an emergency.  \n  \n4.   Swing the club on a steeper plan (more upright).  \n  \n5.   Hit directly underneath the ball before taking a divot. Take a divot that is long and shallow.  \n  \n6.   Follow through normally.

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.

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.

1. Long and short forehands\n     Get the machine to send you a short ball on your forehand followed by a long one on forehand as well.\n\n2. Long and Short backhands\n     Same on the backhand\n\n3. Drop shot and lob\n     A drop shot very close to the net followed by a lob where you go back full speed to catch it\n\n4. Consistent Forehand\n     Forehands, same speed, same length\n\n5. Consistent Backhand\n     Backhands, same speed, same length\n\n6. Short forehand - short backhand\n     Machine sends you a short forehand, you hit and quickly catch another short one on your backhand.\n\nHope that does it for now :)

That depends entirely on the specifics of the shot. How much rough do you have to carry? Is it only green that you need to run on? Are there obstacles in between you and the hole?  What you need to do is go to a driving range that has a chipping green and figure it out for yourself.  There is no set answer.  If you'd like to try a different approach to chipping, rather than smacking at the ball, try this:  Put the ball in the middle of your stance with feet at shoulder width.  Take a PUTTING grip on the club, and putt it.  Just like a putt, don't swing faster on your follow through than on your backswing. Make a smooth, steady stroke.  Try that out at the range, and write down, or just remember, the distances that they carry.  Remember, if you want the ball to get up quicker, and roll less, use a higher lofted club, like a PW or SW, or even a Lob Wedge.  And if you want the ball to roll further, use a smaller iron. (5i, 6i, 4i, whatever works)  Standing 10 feet off the green, with 50 feet of green to run, I would suggest something like a 5 iron, with the stroke I mentioned before.
