When I start hitting the ball heavy I typically move it back about a 1/2 in my stance. I also focus on a point towards the back of the ball and not on the back itself. This should give you a little better contact. \n\nWhen the ball is above your feet you should take one club more and grip down a little bit. I also try to hit cut shots when the ball is above my feet. This helps to prevent pulling the shot. \n\nHope that helps a little.

I would play it like you'd play a 4 iron, and try to sweep it off the turf, don't hit down on it like you would an iron. Play it more like a 3 or 5 wood. \n\nAs far as it looking closed.....your hands should be about even with the ball....so if it looks closed with your hands in that position....you might be heading for a trade in!!!!

It's now called a strong 3 wood, and depends on who hit it. I've seen Tiger hit his 15 degree 3 wood, 270 yards from a fairway!! Sure can replace driver, easier to hit.

practice. take lessons. anyone who is giving you any other answer is only giving you advice from their own experience and their swing is different than yours - guaranteed. Like the guy that said go to the gym... i don't go to the gym, i can hit 300 easy. i do have a naturally fast swing speed, but if i used the wrong club, i wouldn't hit as far, so any equipment suggestion would not be that helpful either. if you take lessons, your coach can send you in the right direction. there's no "secret" everyone's looking for a secret that's why golf magazines keep selling. you want to hit farther? maximize club head speed using the shaft and swing speed. easy to say, not so easy to do.

I carry 16 clubs in my bag on normal play. Driver, 3,4 (sometimes 5) woods, 2-9 pitching 52,56, 60 wedges and putter. I have difficulties taking two clubs off in competition as it is allowed only 14 clubs, but usually I sacrifice 4 wood and 60 degree. Sometimes depending on the course I play, I take also 1 iron in the bag, too but then I need to take out additional club which usually is 52 degree wedge. Hate who made the 14 club rules, in the beginning you allowed 18 clubs.\n\nDriver is when you want to hit very far. Sometimes, 3 wood is needed for the tee shot if the fairway is very narrow, and if it is really tiny, nobody would care if you tee off with iron. 3 wood is used also for hitting long approach from the fairway, and sometimes Tiger Woods use it for chipping shots, or putting from off the green. The rest of the irons are used for various distance depending from each person to person. Try yours in the driving range and you'll know your distance for each iron.\n\nIn the beginning, if you don't know it, use 5, 7 iron, pitching and putter. 5 for the longest distance, 7 for medium distance or about 130 yards, pitching for less than that and putter for the green. Wait another 6 months, I'll you more.

It is absolutely a hole in 1. If the golf ball hits a permanent object (light pole, halfway hut, etc etc) the ball is still considered in play where it comes to rest (unless it comes to rest out of bounds!). \n\nIn your case, it came to rest in the hole, so therefore, it's a hole-in-1. \n\nWell done! Not the most elegant, but still great!\n\nCheers!

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.

Where has common courtesy gone?  If I wasn't willing to take the penalty strokes, drop a ball and play on, I would get the ball myself.  If I "needed" to have the caddie do it, then YES I definitely would up my tip at the end of my round.  I may be old fashioned, but I would also say "thanks!"

Your handicap in golf is quite an official thing - you need to join a club and get them to recognise your normal score at their course. If that score is, say, 90, and the par for the course is 72, your handicap is the difference (90 - 72 = 18). \n\nYou can work out an unofficial handicap the same way.\n\nIn case you don't know much about this: if a hole is short (say under 250yards), it's called a par 3 (it should be completed within 3 shots by a professional). 250-500yds (roughly) = par 4; and anything bigger is a par 5. Adding all the 18 holes' pars together (say 10 par 4s, 4 par 3s and 4 par 5s) gives you the par of the course (par 72 in my example).
