Although I am not familiar with that area I'd like to offer comment on what to do at the course while at a PGA tournament.\n\nPick an area where you can see two or three holes without moving around too much and spend most of your time at the tee and green.  Usually by a par 3 you can see the incoming green, the short par 3 and then the next tee all in one small area.  It's harder to get a good spot by the tee than it is by the green.\n\nSpend some time at the tee and watch how the pros hit their ball.  Unless you are in the front row, it's tough to pick up the ball flight so either get there early and stay for awhile or be patient and work your way up into the front row.  I like to be even with the tees area on the right side so you get the best view of the pros swing or else right behind the box so you see the ball flight.  I've noticed some pros tend to loosen up and interact with the gallery somewhat on the tee.  On the green they are busy concentrating on their chip or putt.\n\nLastly, if you want to see where Tiger is, that will be where the unusally large crowd is, following him around from hole to hole.  It's too hard to compete with that group and no fun runing from spot to spot hoping for a peek.  When you see the large crowd working it's way around the course toward you, just stay in your spot and you'll get a nice view of Tiger hitting the ball.  Don't expect him to even pretend to acknowledge the crowd though.  There are a lot more personable golfers on the tour than he is.\n\nHave a good time.  Wear sunscreen and a hat.

Hello shorty\n\n32 for 9 holes and 67 for 18 on a par 70. Even par is a great round on any golf course, you did good.\n\nMost folks dont realise how good an even par round is, but I do.\n\nPlay well and I wish for a -5 round for you soon.\n\nLeon

If you can you should got take a lesson from a PGA pro. If you cant afford it i'll give a tip from my lesson. Your swing should go around your body, not your head. Second, on back swing, wieght on your right foot (if your right handed) and coming back down your wieght should be on front foot.Third, at all times have your wieght should be on your toes and not your heels. Fourth, throughout the swing don't slide your body right and left, try to keep it center. Last when your coming down to hit the ball, don't accelerate too early, becuase if you do you're ball will either slice or hook.

Your game is going to change a lot, it sounds like your going to be playing a lot.  May is free golf lesson month you can sign up at www.playgolfamerica.com to get a lesson with a local PGA pro.  I think a good 3 wood and maybe a Hybird would be the best things for you.  Even if you purchased the right driver for you now, it may not be the one for you by the end of the season.  Once you get down to the 90's you can start looking for a good driver.

You can find several different types of junior golf programs for kids.  The first place to look is www.juniorlinks.com The is a great place for information about programs in your area.  The site also has games, information for parents and information for kids to help them learn the game.  The second place to look would be www.playgolfamerica.com enter your zip code and it will show you a list of programs in your area.  The 3rd place would be your local PGA Section.  Every section has a key person in charge of junior program.  They could help you find something in your area.  You can go to www.pga.com or www.pgalinks.com to find out what section your in and how to contact them.  Good luck  I have a lot of links on my 360 blog roll .  Let me know if I can help\n\n\nNow if anyone is interested in helping put together a junior program they should start with the golf pro at a local golf  course.  Men's and Laide's assoications can play a major role in junior programs.  I find it's best to keep the programs at a affordable price, but not free.  Free does not work, we have one for $49.00.  We teach the PGA's first swing program.  Every get is issued a starter set up clubs with bag and several other items.  All they have to do is complete the classes and demostrate golf knowledge in a fun event.  Once they do that they get to keep the golf clubs.  That is where people can help support junior programs.  The men's and ladies clubs can help raise money to pay for the clubs.

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".

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

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!!

You could pack a small camera in a lunch bag and bury it in a back pack - they really don't dig too deep.  The problem is being caught with it.  They will take it if they see it.\n\nDon't stay in one place the whole day.  Get the tee times and find out who you want to see.  Then pick out 3-4 holes to camp out on to watch your favorites.  I like setting up at a couple par 3's and a par 5.  It's a must to spend some time on the 18th to watch the guys finish.  Try to get to your spot 30-45 minutes before you think the pro's will show up - you still might have to stand.\n\nAlso try to get there early and check out the range.  Don't remember if they still allow you to watch, but watching how the pro's warm up is amazing, especially Vijay & Sergio.

That depends on who or what you wanna see.  If you want to see alot of action but don't need to see the top names in golf go get a good seat in the grandstands.  If you want to see a big name like Tiger or Ernie or Phil.  Then be about 20 feet away from them at the tee off this way you will have a great look at there second shot.

Call them up.  Please be aware that Torrey Pines is one of the most popular public courses in the country, so your options might be limited.  Indeed, there is discussion here in San Diego right about limiting the number of times a person can play the course in a single year.\n\nYou can also try a "brokerage" where you'll pay a company an extra fee to sit on the phones for you and get the time you want.  This is the way to go if money isn't a big concern.\n\nIt's a fantastic pair of courses, but bring lots of sleeves of balls if you're even a little wild off the tee.  Those canyons swallow up stray shots like you wouldn't believe.\n\nGood luck!
