I average around 100 in 18 holes of golf, but this is usually on college level courses. I’m not very good with my driver and my putting needs a lot of work. What do you think?

No, Those scores are not good enough to play in a match on the team, maybe not even make the team. I’m playing golf for college and they told me I would have to shoot between 76 and 88 to even play in a match and their a Division 3 school

YES!

Strength and fitness generally is one of the most overlooked parts of golf by amateurs. Guys want to go out buy new clubs and instantly be better. I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying “it’s the indian, not the arrow”, this applies to golf too.

As to what to do, this depends on your condition now.

As a general idea, you want to increase flexibility around the ankle, hip and shoulder joints. Concentrate on both static and dynamic flexibility.

You want to increase strength primarily in the legs, core and back. Forearm and upper arm strength can also be useful.

If you are not sure about any of this, or want specific tests and routines, feel free to contact me through my profile and I will help you out.

Also a good source of information is mytpi just google this.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

Question by xjordan159x: What is a great way to keep your attitude under check while on the golf course?
I have been playing golf for about 2 years and i’m doing great. But when I hit a bad shot then I go crazy. I keep hitting the ground. I was wandering if anyone could help me with this thanks.

In playing golf, your opponent is yourself. This means on one can destroy your score. If you would like to be a winner, you should remind yourself all the time during playing on course that you have practiced hard to win this competition, so you will not think of the last shot as well as the next shot, and you will make the best of present shot. It seems no benefit to do think of the bad things destroying you score.

Question by warm_caffeine: How much time should you practice in golf?
How many hours per day or per week should I be practicing to become better at golf. I just started taking lessons, so I’m learning about how to swing. What are some suggestions, and techniques about overcoming fatigue. Yesterday I was at the range around 3pm and it was so hot, that my swing was off and I couldn’t practice effectively. I want to learn to become better at the sport..not necessarily to play for the PGA. Also, any suggestions about proper apparel to practicing at the range? I am practice at a public range, it is not a country club.
Also, why do my knuckles feel so sore, like arthritis?

Practice early in the morning while it is still cool outside. Practice every day and take lessons from a golf professional that you could find at your local golf club. The PGA.com website has instructional videos and they can also help locate a professional in your area.

Question by playaut0785: How do you determine the core size of a golf club’s shaft?
I have searched the internet and every methot to do this requires that you take the old grip off of your club and measure. Since i will be purchasing a set of grips and installation kit online from amazon, I don’t want a period of 2weeks without grips on my clubs. I dont want a professional to replace them for me for obvious price reasons. Lastly and most unfortunately the golf club maker of my set doesn’t reveal this information on their website and the only contact with them is by mail [slow]. Thanks for any advice.

I use Tommy Armour Morph Irons(rifle 5.0 shaft R flex),
Adams Golf 460D (Nv regular flex),
Adams Golf ovation 4 wood (stiff flex)

these are the clubs that i wanted to re-grip.
Thanks for any advice.
P.S. lets say for instance that my golf clubs have a .620 core size and i buy the .600 then im out 80 bucks. this is why i want to know.
