If golf is all about your swing and not power, why is a female tee closer to the flag than a males?

Golf is timing and power

Actually it is possible.  For some golfers, their golfswing is dictated by their nondominant side, ie\n\nRight handed tennis players swing golf club with their left side, but not all of them.\n\nThis often can lead to problems when transitioning back to golf.

It seems like only men play golf because you rarely see women golfing on TV. And, women just don't play golf in numbers in the USA like in other parts of the world. For example, golf in Asia very popular among both men and women.

She will probably run, she will probably lose.\n\nBut the bigger question is what does a question like this have to do with golf and why is it posted in the sports--golf section?

Usually the posted yardage is to the center of the green from the tee box marker.\n\nThen, the flag color (on the green) indicates whether the distance is closer or farther (front, center, back).\nUsually the tee box is placed in a different place each day, to protect the grass as well, but at most courses, there is a marker in the ground to help you make adjustments from there.\nThe person who "owns" a course has obviously never been to his "course".  That is, based on his answer.\n\nSo, first you take the posted yardage, then you adjust for the tee box location.  And then also adjust for flag position.  These differances can amount to as much as 5-15 yards or more, depending on the course.

Golf is one game where the little guy has improved as well as the athelete because of advances in equipment design. \nThat's why we see the redesign of golf courses now.  Longer and narrower par 5's, faster greens, longer rough, ect.\n\nFrankly though, you still have to sink the putts to score. This is what separates the 300+ yard hitters on the Nike tour from the pros on the PGA... except for Mr. Conditioned Athlete John Daly that is... it's just fun to watch him smack a ball.

They can't because the lpga is for ladies only. a dude with a sex op wasn't allowed to play. but shame on the pga for allowing the tv rating b.s. that goes on now just because someone didn't clarify that the pga was meant for men, or was it, but now that there is an lpga there is no reason for a female golfer to play on the pga tour apart from money. now there is a lpga the rules for the pga should be changed,   maybe the MPGA should be started. but tv money will never allow that to happen not now or not for a while

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...

Its all aerodynamics. Different angle of incidence of air flow on different curvatures give much more flight and movement to a golf ball. This adds more thrill to the play

Every player hits their clubs differently and with a little practice you learn how far each one will go.  Sometimes the conditions on the course, or obstacles, will cause you to use different clubs from the same distance.  For example, if I'm hitting into a headwind, the ball won't go as far so I might hit a club that normally would travel farther than the current distance I am from the hole (the opposite is true when you have a tailwind).  Also, if the course is wet, or if there's a tree in your way, you might want to hit the ball lower or higher also changing your club selection.  Pro golfers can usually hit the same distance with a number of different clubs (it takes a lot of practice!).

In golf you are given (at each hole) a certain number of shots that you should need to get your ball from the tee to the hole. If you manage it in exactly that number of shots, it's a par....so say you were at the first tee and it said you had to take 5 shots to get the ball in the hole, so you hit the ball 5 times & got it in the hole...then you've got a par. But if you only take 4 shots to get it in the hole, then it's birdie because you're one under the par. And an eagle is 2 under the par...so you'd do it in 3.\nI hope that sort of makes sense...I'm rubbish at explaining things!!!

I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS TURNED IN A TRUTHFUL SCRAMBLE SCORE CARD IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME. I HAVE PLAYED IN MANY AND HAVE SEEN SCORES AS LOW AS 53, THE HONESTY OF GOLF GOES AWAY IN A SCRAMBLE, THEY JUST WANT TO WIN...

Yes golf is a gentleman's sport but that does not mean it has to be so stiff.  I don't know the details of what Lucy did but I thing I have an idea of what she did.  \n\nGolf is changing it has to because we have to many golf courses and not enough players.  There is nothing wrong with having fun on the course.  Last week was women's golf week and next month the PGA is promoting a take your daughter to the golf course week.  The golf course is a great place for everyone in the family to have fun.  There is nothing wrong with having a little fun on the golf course.  The person on my Icon played in a golf tournament that day.  He shot 68 and had some fun.

The ladies club has more flex and is a 3 to 5 inches shorter.  Drivers are a lot longer than they  use to be.  A lot of men hit ladies drivers better.  Today's ladies driver is the same length as men's 10 years ago.

What does this have to do with Golf?

The Masters is all about tradition. This uniform has been used since Ben Hogan was a boy. The African Americans ie..  were the only race allowed to caddy for a long time at Augusta and it helped to identify that they were legally allowed to be on the premises.

One shot less than par for the hole.  2 shots less woulld be an eagle.  One shot over par would be a bogey.
