Gifts: Giving to the Beginner GolferWritten by The Gift Wizard
GIFTS: GIVING TO THE BEGINNER GOLFER by A. HeathIt's golf season again! And you might be looking for a gift to give to someone who's just starting off in golf. So, here are some suggestions. These beginner golf gifts target those new golf souls... ones who don't yet know what their in for, or ones who are already hooked after just playing a few times. Golf Lessons The single best choice out of all gifts for golf beginner is golf lessons. There's nothing that beginning golfer can use more. It's even better than a set of clubs, because it will give him/her a chance to really decide if he/she likes game and wants to stick with it. After all, golf can be extremely frustrating, but it's also highly addictive. Start them off right with a lesson and give them a good swing foundation. Contact your local golf course or instruction facility to find out what options you have in your area. Golf Books If you can't afford to buy golf lessons for beginning golfer, at very least, get him/her an instruction book or DVD. There are lot to choose from, many with beginner in mind. Don't forget that along with frustrating and addictive, golf can also be intimidating, so help them to be better prepared for their experience. And even if you do decide on giving lessons, instruction books or DVDs are excellent complementary beginner golf gifts. First Set of Golf Clubs A lot of new golfers start out by borrowing or renting their clubs when they play, so to help them along you may want to start him/her off with their own set of golf clubs. Don't go with anything extravagant or expensive with their first set. Clubs are usually a pretty personal choice, and it's probable that their first set won't be one they stick with in long term. This is even more important if you're buying first set of clubs for a child, as they will most likely outgrow them by next summer. If you do get a set of clubs, make sure you get a bag to go with it. Driving Range Membership It's very common for a new golfer to want to just get out there and whack ball! Actually, many experienced golfers want to do that. And while that may not be best thing to do on course, it's certainly fun to do at driving range! You can give a membership to a local driving range. Other options include a gift certificate, ball tokens, or a 10 bucket pass. What practice facility offers in form of a membership or package deal will determine what options you have for these beginner golf gifts.
| | 2 Things You Must Do If You Want To Stop Coming Over The Top In Your Golf SwingWritten by Joe Pena
Coming Over-The-Top in your golf swing is probably most common (and frustrating) swing flaw a golfer will ever deal with. You can work hard trying to fix it...and end up developing other bad swing habits in process. Why not put an end to it once and for all by identifying two amazingly simple adjustments guaranteed to correct it.1. Distribute your weight properly on your backswing. When you execute your backswing, it doesn't matter how well you did your takeaway, how soon you cocked your wrists, or how late your cocked them. It doesn't matter if your right arm is straight at top, or even if you manage to keep from overswinging. You must also be aware of how your weight is distributed. You can spend years looking for solution. I did. But when I found it, a light went on. You've heard of an "Aha!" experience, haven't you? Well, that's exactly what you will have when you discover precisely how to have your weight distributed.
