Illustrations and one-page tips from putting to sand play offered in the golf book "365 Golf Tips and Tricks From The Pros" by Jay Morelli are designed to simplify every area of your game with a suggestion per day ...playing without fear is my favorite.
This golf book rightfully opens with tips on the rules, segues into Golf Etiquette, takes you through course management, drills, the mental game and even offers help on purchasing the right type of equipment for your game.
Below are three golf tips I selected from the book (one tip each for beginner, intermediate and advanced golfer). For a read into the other 362 tips, click on the link at the end of this golf blog.
Dick Capasso, PGA Teaching Pro, Augusta Georgia
Many players get confused about where to play the ball in their stance for shots off the turf.
We have all heard conflicting advice on this subject. Each shot is a new experience and should be treated as such. The best place to place your ball is in the way of your swing. Try taking a few practice swings and pay attention to where the club nips the turf. That spot is where the ball should be played for that particular stroke.
Golfers are so often afraid of bad shots that they sometimes play timidly, making timid golf swings. You are much better off going ahead and making a committed and strong swing. Commit to the shot and don't even think about what not to do. A non-swing will never produce a good result.
Tip 269: COIL UP FOR POWER, by Sandra Jaskol, LPGA Teaching Pro, Old Westbury Golf & Country Club, Old Westbury, New York
To get more power and distance, practice with a medium-sized rubber ball between your legs to feel the rotation of your upper body uncoiling above a stable, planted lower body. This springlike effect will keep you more centered over the ball while maximizing your coil with explosive power and speed.
If you expect your golf game to improve, you need a teaching pro. That being said, when your instructor isn't around and you require a brush up (even on the golf course), pull out your "365 Golf Tips and Tricks from the Pros" pocket-sized guide, thumb through it and you'll most likely find the answer to your questions.

Some really wonderful tips. It's always great to see people being encouraged to play golf. It is such a growing sport, especially when you consider that it was just a male dominated sport and there is now a lot of women players there is so much diversity in the game.

A good article for Golf lovers. Well maid points, would love to read more from you. I am a new gold lover and I wish to gather a lot information from web hope people like you will help me out with it.
Transfer Your Weight normally, when swinging a golf iron, you shift weight on your back foot within your takeaway, then on your front foot in the course of follow-through. I do recommend that you must check the skills of Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, or some of other professionals on TV and you will discover how well they attain accurate weight transfer. However, if you are still not able to decipher the right skills pertaining to the golf swinging tips, then you must check videos online, as there are so many out there. Thanks!!
Every golfer must first learn the things they have to do if they want to play better golf . The problem with most players is that they tend to think that since golf is not a very hactic sport like basketball, they don't have to do some warm up exercises.
I played a fun game the other day on the course, it's a poker chip game good chips are green, bad chips are black we bet $10 a chip and at the end I ended up holding 4 out of the 6 good chips and none of the bad ones and walked away with $120! Got pretty expensive for the ones holding the black ones. They are on facebook or you can click on this link to see the game. http://www.golfpokerchipgame.com
I like what you said about playing without fear. It is really a hard thing to do but, if you can relax you will play a lot better. Everyone is going to make a bad shot but, just because that's true doesn't mean that you have to think that every shot is going to be your bad shot. http://www.legendarysports.com/masters

his was fun and different ... and yes KenKen is right next to the crossword in the Times, I don't know how people could not be aware of its existence! Thanks!
I have a problem with square 2. Its inconsistent with other operators. Seems to me it reads one / two which is one half. Multiplication and addition are transitive whereas division and subtraction are not.
