AGCP Club Fitters Video

Getting a custom golf club fitting can be ideal for an avid player. So why do you need a customized fitting? Well let’s look and see. A custom golf club fitting is going to look at how you play the game as well as measure you to ensure that you are playing with a set of clubs that will work for your body type. Getting a custom golf club fitting will involve your pro doing the fitting to know:

• Height of the player in golf shoes.
• The distance from the floor to the golfer's wrist.
• Player’s age.
• The skill level and handicap of the player
• The swing of the player.
• What club the player typically uses from around the 150 marker.

Gender has a lot to do with getting the perfect fitting. Men and women vary, of course, in standards and measurements. Your height as well as the distance from your wrist to the floor will help in determining what length of club is going to be ideal for you. The speed of your swing will determine the type of shaft flex that is required for you. If you don’t have the right size club for you then your game will suffer for it. There is also a great little online customizer that you can use to get a general idea on your custom golf club fitting. You can find it at http://www.pinemeadowgolf.com/cfw/.

You can look at custom golf club fitting in four areas:

• Shaft flex
• Shaft length
• Lie angle
• Loft

According to the World of Golf, the shaft flex is defined as how much force in the swing is necessary to make the shaft perform the way it should. The shaft length is measured from the top of the grip straight down the shaft to the sole of the club head. The lie angle is defined as is the angle formed by the sole of the club and the shaft. The loft of a golf club is the angle formed by the face of the club and the shaft.

You can see that custom golf club fitting is a very important part of playing a great golf game. There are so many factors to consider. A true golfer is going to do the research and take the time to get all the information that he or she needs before making a final decision and purchase. A quality set of golf clubs is a major investment for your game and your wallet. So insuring that you are getting the golf clubs that will work best for your body type is important. You don’t have to have a custom golf club fitting or buy a customized set but it is highly recommended. After all, isn’t your golf game worth it?

How To Choose A Set Of Golf Clubs

Demo Of Slazenger Golf Club Driver

A good set of golf clubs can sometimes make the difference between a good game and a bad game. Everyone is different so you need to make sure that the golf clubs that you choose suit your swing and body type. No one set of golf clubs is going to be ideal for everyone.

You can buy a golf club set from pretty much anywhere. The price of the set will range anywhere from $170 to as high as a couple of thousand dollars. Golf has been a game that has been loved for years and has grown in popularity. In the earlier days you didn’t see very many retailers selling golfing items. Now, there is a golf store in almost every town. It pays to check out some golf club reviews to make sure you get a decent golf club set.

These reviews will take individual clubs as well as the entire golf club set and let you know what those who have tested them thought about the club. Was it good and accurate off the short grass? If you’re going to invest a lot of money into a set of clubs then you want to make sure it is a set that is going to be well worth it. A good golf club set can be pretty pricey but is a sound investment.

These days you can eveb purchase golf clubs online. Naturally if you make a purchase online you won’t be able to test the product first. In this case it is very important to make sure that you have previously tested the same name brand and style of clubs elsewhere before you buy them. You don’t want to get the set and then realize it wasn’t what you wanted or doesn’t work for the way you play the game. Just as a bow hunter has to have a bow that is designed to suit them so does a golfer have to have a set of golf clubs that it designed for them.

Golf if a popular sport and it is growing day by day not only in fans but in players as well. Retailers of golf club sets are growing as well. Every child wants to grow up and be the next Tiger Woods. Every man wants to be the next Arnold Palmer. Every woman wants to be the next LPGA champion. The only way to become that is to practice, practice, practice and to have a golf club set that is made for you and your love of this game. Take your time and choose wisely. Golf is a game that is relaxing and fun once you get the hang of it. First make sure that you love the game enough to make an investment in the tools to play it. Once you’ve made your purchase go out and just have some fun.

Stack Tilt Swing - This Swing May Not be For You

stack tilt swing

The concept may be easy, stack your weight and tilt to the target. But there seems to be a misconceived notion that it's more complicated. Nevertheless, the Stack Tilt swing has convinced many, that this method holds a key to consistency and power. But is this swing for everyone?

Stack & Tilt innovators Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett have pioneered a concept that is truly revolutionizing the golf swing. They have invented a new method that has many of the best golfers in the world to change their golf swing... their swing. Not an easy task! The results have been quite astonishing. Many PGA players are either using it or considering using this swing with the same thing in mind, to gain consistency and power.

For the better player, it holds many possibilities to improve the swing. But for some, it may not quite hold as much promise...

If you are thinking of trying this swing and struggle with an "outside-in" path, a problem that plagues many beginners, you may want to reconsider. A player that struggles with a fault that results in an "over the top" swing path would probably only exaggerate the problem by changing swings. You would be better off trying to correct the fault before making such drastic changes.

If you are a better player that "hangs back" and struggles with pushes and hooks, read on. This swing definitely holds opportunities for improvement.

For the better player that already has a solid foundation and only wants to gain more distance or better control for his irons, the Stack and Tilt may be just the ticket. The "position at impact" is definitely emphasized for better ball striking. Because the conventional swing uses a weight shift to both sides during the swing, players very often get "caught" with their weight on the back foot. This causes mis-hits and tops.

The Stack & Tilt centers your weight over the ball and promotes minimal weight shift, continually remaining centered is the goal. The result is a steeper angle of attack with a flatter and more rotational swing. This provides an element of consistency, especially with irons where your angle of attack needs to be steeper.

So the bottom line, it the Stack & Tilt swing may not be for everyone.If you struggle with the dreaded "over-the-top," you are best to correct this problem before adapting this swing. If however, you are a better player that struggles with the occasional push and/or hook, you will want to seriously consider the Stack & Tilt swing. It provides you the opportunity to add an element of consistency you may not find in the conventional swing.

How To Play Golf Like The Top 5% Of Golfers

As golfers, we are always striving to perfect our game. It is a continual battle for improvement that seams never ending. Even the professional golfers are constantly working on their game. That shows you how difficult golf can be when you see even the pros struggling to maintain a constant level.

Do you know that only about 5% of golfers Worldwide can break 70? What is it that those golfers have that we have not got? According to golf manufacturers and their advertising claims, we need the same expensive golf equipment that the pros use to play to their level.

That obviously is marketing hype, as you can now pick up the same driver that a PGA star used last year for under $200. So, many of us do have technologically advanced clubs and golf balls that the pros use; why are we still unable to break 70 or even 80?

30 years ago 25% of golfers broke 90 and today that number has only risen to 28%. Billions have been spent on developing new technologically advanced golf clubs and balls. Billions have also been spent by advertisers trying to push these products to the struggling golfers.

So we now have these clubs that are easier to use, are more forgiving, have higher launch angles, plus golf balls that combine optimum distance, spin and feel. Yet the vast majority of golfers are still struggling to break 90! Obviously a great golf game can not be bought; not even with the hundreds of new golf training aids, golf swing guides, or modern instruction methods.

Something tells me that the top 5% of golfers know something that we don't. It appears that that “thing” that they possess is mastery of the Mental Game of Golf. That is the missing ingredient that can promote the quickest and most lasting change in any golfer’s game. This is the only area of golf that doesn't cost a penny to use, so it is interesting that barely anyone uses it.

The mental golf game: Using your mind in a calculated, methodical and focused way is the surest method of improving your game and lowering your scores. Mastering the Inner Game of Golf can do wonders for your game. But you have to understand how to implement the methods.

When you do, you will have have clear focus and mental toughness, be able to control your attention, cure your golf nerves and anxiety, eliminate anger from your game, and have confidence in yourself and your game – amongst other factors.

Familiarity of the inner game of golf is what separates the top 5% of golfers from the rest of us weekend warriors. You can see it in action on the PGA Tour because all those guys have access to the same equipment, golf swing gurus, and putting gurus. The difference between them comes down to how well they master their mental game of golf during each tournament.

Visibly, at their intensity level and with all the pressure and media reporting, it is hard for them to maintain high levels of concentration and focus day after day, week after week. That is why even the likes of Tiger Woods can not win every major in a year or even dominate the majority of events in a season, every season.

But for mere mortals like us, understanding and using the mental game of golf techniques can have an immediate and long lasting positive affect on our game. Believe me, it is the quickest way to lower your scores and take your game to a higher level. If you would like more information on how to start, then read How to Learn the Mental Game of Golf. You will also find a couple of free reports, Mental Game Tips and Mental Game Self Assessment, that you can download to get you started.

 

Want Help To Improve Your Swing?

There are as many tips for golf swings as there are golfers. Your friends, relatives, and even people you just met on the course will offer you tips. The truth is, that there is a lot of disagreement even among pros, so how are you to improve your swing? Well there are three basics that are standard tips from professional golfers. If you keep these in mind you will likely see improvement in your game.

Keep Your Head Stationary

It sounds simple enough, but one of the most common problems with golf is keeping the head still. With all of the other movements going on with a golf swing, it can be easy to let your head move around. Keeping it still will keep you looking at the same part of the ball without changing perspective.

Relax Those Muscles!

By relaxing your muscles, you can attain one of the most important parts of a golf swing: balance. Stand so that you are comfortable and relaxed while addressing the ball, by making sure that you can reach it easily. Remember, no matter which club or what distance you are swinging, what will make your swing powerful and smooth is balance. Of all the tips for golf swings that you might learn, relaxing and maintaining good balance is one of the most important.

Keep the Head of the Club Moving Straight Through the Ball

Again, it seems simple enough. Most people realize that the club head must travel straight through the ball, but they don’t give it much thought when they play. Once you have achived balance and your head still, the remaining tip for your golf swing left is to keep the head straight. By hitting the ball straight, you can improve on that nasty slice so many beginners have.

Golf can be a difficult game, which is why there are many tips for golf instruction online, in books, from friends, and anywhere you might look. While opinions may vary on swing theory, these three tips are universal and should help you to get going in the right direction.

Good golf aids can also be a great help on their own. However, if you already take lessons, they will enhance the experience. You can utilize the aids you choose or read to add on to the information you get form your lessons. You will be amazed at how fast a few lessons and some well selected golf aids will improve your game.

Taking A Golf Vacation In The Caribbean

By Jim Nettleton

For any player who wants to feel he or she is in paradise, a golf vacation in the Caribbean can be simply breath taking. The climate is, of course, wonderful and the general atmosphere is exotic. There are golf courses designed to provide gorgeous seascapes, others that highlight challenging hills and some others that snake around lakes and lagoons. A golf vacation in the Caribbean combines tourism bliss as well as a sporting challenge.

You’ll be enchanted by the waves crashing along the shores as you play the seaside courses and you’ll constantly be aware of the comforting shadow of the palm trees. And the experience need not be expensive, as promotional offers involve all-inclusive types of resorts for both the players and their families.

A golf vacation in the Caribbean will give you a taste of the islands and the advantage of excellent special tourist packages with discounted fees. Those packages can combine your lodging, meals and greens fees in one blanket charge. And, of course, the perfect climate makes a golf vacation in the Caribbean a year-round choice. Even if a quick shower gets you on the golf course, you’ll be dry by the time you get to the next hole. It is not uncommon to see selected Caribbean golf courses in the list of the best in the world. So you’ll have your choice of some outstanding venues to compliment the beautiful climate and scenery.

You may choose to go on a golf vacation in the Caribbean in the Dominican Republic and stay in the famous all-inclusive golf resort The Teeth of the Dog, a breathtaking Pete Dye design that plays along the ocean on many holes. It is also true that this is perhaps one of the most expensive places on the island, but it is worth at least a day’s visit here. You can move to other great spots for your golf vacation in the Caribbean that provide all the courses necessary to satisfy any true golfer. At the end of the game, you’ll have a gorgeous beach waiting for you, soft drinks (or something stronger) and an unparalleled exotic background.

What Golf Grips Can Do For Your Game

Using Golf Grips

A great sum of money is spent each year by every golfer for their golf equipment, and golf clubs are always on the top of their list and they tend to buy the best ones that they can afford. Significant amounts of money are further invested on private golf lessons and golf training aids. However, they tend to forget or overlook a fundamental item - the golf grips.

Outfitting your golf club set with new grips is a very inexpensive and effective way to quickly improve your golf game by helping you have more consistency simply because you can get a better hold on your clubs. With a better and firmer grip, you will also be able to improve your golf swing.

When your golf clubs have been used continuously and the golf grips worn out, it makes no difference if you buy thousands of dollars of the best golf training aid products available in the market, you will still not improve your game simply because if the grips are in bad shape it they will contribute to the deterioration of your game. Golfers that are really serious about improving their game to their highest potential know that every aspect of their golf equipment must be kept in the best condition possible.

Most amateur golfers never even think about the need to change the grips on their clubs. Novices can play for years with the same set of clubs without changing the grips and then wonder why they don't see any improvement in their game, even though they put in time to practice and buy other golf improvement aids and tools, watch all the golf training videos they can get their hands on, and constantly talk about wanting to be a better golfer.

The professionals on the other hand know exactly the importance of changing their golf grips regularly, and as a matter of fact they frequently regrip their clubs after every tournament. They do this so that their clubs feel does not change and that their hands feel the same in every tournament they play.

It would certainly be overkill to change the golf grips after every few rounds for the average golfer, but considering the extremely high level of competition in the golf tournaments today, every advantage counts and for the pros they will leave nothing to chance.

The general guidelines for how often to replace grips are as follows. If you play golf an average of one time per week, then the grips on your clubs should be changed once every year. If you frequently play two times a week, then you should increase the frequency of replacing the grips to twice a year. If you also get to the driving range once or twice a week, then you should change those grips even more often.

It may not be necessary for you to replace each club in your golf set at the same time. The frequency of changing the grips on each club will vary with how much you actually use a particular club, and you can choose to replace the golf grips that tend to be used a lot more and start to feel worn out. Most golfers do however, like to get all their clubs re-gripped at the same time so that all their clubs have the same feel.

It is good to get into the habit of checking on the condition of the golf grips on your clubs at least once a month, especially if you play a round once a week or more. Grips that have that shiny look and slick feel should be replaced. A set of grips in good condition will feel a bit sticky and will feel great as you wrap your hands around them. When you have new grips on your clubs you will have a better sense of confidence, which in turn will lead to more success on the course.

Custom Fit Golf Clubs: How To

Each golfer is different. Many of today's best golf clubs can be custom fit for lie angle, shaft type and length, grip type and size. Custom fitting golf clubs involves several easy measurements and a quick self-assessment of your game. This custom golf club has become more than a fad that even not so professional golfers test its waters. You might think that going out and buying some new, fancy, utility golf clubs will fix your game, but that won't help as much as having your clubs custom fitted.

The purpose of a custom golf club us is to make sure that the club is nice and square when you strike the ball, given a proper swing.

To custom fit your golf club set, you need to know: your gender (male or female); your height in your stockings or socks; the distance from your wrist (where it bends) to the floor with your shoes off; your age; your handicap or skill level; how fast you swing a golf club; what club you use at the 150 yard marker.

Gender is used to put you into the correct fitting scale for custom golf clubs. The golf industry uses different definitions of "standard length" for men and women.

Your height and the distance in inches from your wrist to the floor are used together to determine the length of a custom golf club that is appropriate for you. Clubs can range from -3 inch to plus 1 inch. A tall person with long arms can very easily require shorter clubs than an average height person with short arms. Only 20 percent of golfers out there fall outside the standard length.

Your age, handicap (if you happen to have one), self-assessed skill level, estimated golf swing speed and club you use at the 150 yard marker are all combined to determined the custom golf club's shaft flex that is appropriate for you.

If you want to fix a slice, custom fitting can help. If you slice the ball it means that the toe of the club is leading into the ball which opens the face of the club. That may be down to a swing problem, but another possible cause is that the club flatter than it should be. So as part of the custom fitting process you can make the custom golf club more upright to help with this. This will mean that the toe of the club will be slightly off the ground at address to compensate.

There are different methods of fitting according to custom golf club manufacturers but ultimately they are all trying to improve your game. To begin with simple measurements such as wrist-to-floor, height and hand size are taken and will point you to the right size club and at what angle it should be to the ground. Then you will take a club and hit some balls. One way of doing this is to put impact tape on the bottom of the club, with an impact board on the floor.

As you hit the ball the board will leave a mark on the tape showing whether the heel or the toe of the custom golf club is striking the floor first. The resulting mark will show whether the club face needs to be flatter or more upright. Then things get a bit more advanced. Analysis equipment can measure everything from your club speed to the side spin of the ball so that you can get maximum distance from your shot. You can also measure the launch angle of the ball, how much backspin you generate and impact efficiency - all which affect distance. The angle in which the custom golf club approaches the ball and the sidespin of it can help fix your game too.

Rather than bringing down your old clubs, it might be better to start from scratch. It's a big misconception that custom fitting is only for good golfers. All can gain. That said, if you plan to upgrade a new set of clubs with the same manufacturer they may be able to adjust your old set to become custom golf clubs.

Lastly, custom fitting is often free of charge. But it is usually on the condition that you buy some clubs once you've been fitted. So it really depends on what your budget is. If you're getting new clubs anyways, you should certainly get them fitted.

Custom Golf Club Set Can Help Improve Your Game

custom golf club

Every golfer who ever sets foot on a golf course has unique physical characteristics and a distinct swing that makes them different from everyone else. Because of these individual traits, a custom golf club set can be one of the best golf aids for any golfer who wants a chance to reach the highest level of achievement. There are many types and brands of golf clubs on the market today that can be customized.

Creating a custom set of golf clubs involves measuring the golfer and then adjusting the clubs for shaft type and length, for the lie angle, and for the size and type of grip. Many people feel that out of all the various golfing equipment they have purchased and all of the golf aids they have tried to improve their game, the best equipment has been the custom set of clubs they invested in.

The process that goes into getting a custom golf club set made is quite straightforward and rather simple. First, the golfer decides on the brand of golf clubs that they want and then they have some measurements taken. In most cases, the person who is getting the clubs customized also needs to fill out a questionnaire and self-assessment of how they see their golf game, as well as their weaknesses and strengths.

In some cases, if the golfer is taking golfing lessons from a pro, then the instructor may be asked to help with the assessment. This can often be very valuable to the process because the instructor is an impartial third party who also has the golf training and expertise to be able to identify the weaknesses that need to be addressed with the club set, and perhaps even by adding a golf training club as well.

No matter what your own level of experience with golf is, a custom set of clubs can be very beneficial. This is because the customization is done with one purpose in mind and that is to make sure that if you execute a proper swing, the club will squarely impact the golf ball in order to produce a good, clean, straight shot.

Custom clubs that has been correctly adjusted for your height, your skill level, and your golf swing speed, can improve many aspects of your game and can even help correct a chronic golf slice. When a golfer slices a ball, it is because the toe of the golf club has lead into the golf ball. This could be caused by a poorly executed swing, but it can also be caused by a club face that is too flat. The process of customizing clubs for you can help eliminate this problem, and then you simply have to maintain focus on your golf swing improvement.

Just buying a custom golf club set alone is not going to instantly "fix" your game and make you a pro. However, when you use your new clubs in combination with golf training videos or professional golf lessons, you might be able to unlock your true potential as a golfer. Many people find that this combination is very powerful and well worth the investment of time and money.

Golf Fitness Program Can Be Useful Golf Improvement Aid

improve your golf swing

There really is no arguing the fact that the game of golf is one of the most popular sports and a favorite hobby that people enjoy, even if they are not in perfect physical condition. From the young to the old and including those who are even somewhat disabled, most people are able to play golf with the use of golf carts and golf aids. But, for those who have a desire to excel at the game, they should consider making use of a golf fitness program.

A fitness program for golf is considered to be a must-have for those who are serious about the game, whether they are amateurs or professionals. The demands of the game of golf are rather minimal if you are just playing for fun and for the enjoyment of being out of doors on a regular basis; yet, if you are at all interested in being competitive, then your golf improvement will depend to a large degree on your physical level of fitness.

Many golfers discover that they get sore and achy after a round of golf, even if they are not new to the game. The primary reason for this is because the motion of swinging the golf club can put a great deal of strain on the back, but a golf fitness program can help to strengthen the back muscles. In turn, this will improve your golf swing and will cut down on the aches.

Regular exercise is important for staying in shape and for playing golf to your best abilities, especially if it is a competitive game with a group of golf buddies who like to take bets on the round. A good fitness program designed for golfers will help protect your muscles and joints simply by making them stronger and better able to handle the rigors of a vigorous round of golf.

The best thing about these golf improvement programs is that they help you to maintain the necessary physical mechanics that support the swing, which is the most important aspect of the game. By doing golf stretching movements and exercises that are part of golf training videos for fitness, you will be able to create and build the correct muscles and also increase joint resistance and flexibility. Combined, this helps to keep you strong and limber at the same time, which will help you to execute the needed moves.

As golfers age, they also need to stay in the best shape possible if they want to feel that their game is always improving rather than diminishing. However, it is easy to spot those older golfers who obviously follow a golf fitness guide because you can see them walking the fairways with a spring in their step. Age does not have to interfere with playing a great round of golf that you can brag about all week, but it does require the effort of doing golf exercises on a regular basis.

Making use of a good golf fitness program does not mean that you have to commit a big chunk of time and it can usually be combined with other exercises, such as walking. For instance, you might take a quick 15 minute warm up walk and then take another few minutes to do some simple golf stretching exercises. This small amount of effort can result in wonderful improvements to your game that might amaze you.

Diamana Shaft - A Winning Breed of Golf Shafts

The Diamana shaft by Mitsubishi Rayon has been in a long standing tradition of premier golf shafts.  Mitsubishi, the manufacturer, has several models to choose from, Red Board, White Board, and Blue Board.

The choosy golfer has come to expect more from shafts and what they provide for their games.  Diamana is at the head of the class.  Mitsubishi has a highly intensive and performance-oriented prototyping and testing process.  Most notably, tour players get heavily involved in the pro-typing process.  All the major tours give input to Mitsubishi along the way allowing continually and evolving improvement for the shaft all the way to market.  This process is matched by few shaft makers, a win-win for all involved.

To add to the extensive production process, Mitsubishi has what they call Vertical Integration technology.  This technology allows them to combine any number of resins and fibers required to increase the performance of the shaft.  Mitsubishi puts a lot of stock in this technology and labels this their Material Difference.

Below, is a Mitsubishi Diamana model summary:

Diamana Red Board is a low torque, active tip, stiff mid-section and softer butt section.  The active tip helps "load" the the shaft during the swing transition and promote a higher launch, a great distance achiever.  The stiff mid section provides an element of control.  This shaft is designed for the average to above average player looking to increase distance without giving up control.

Diamana White Board is a low torque, stiff tip, stiff mid-section and softer butt section.  The White Board provides the penetrating ball flight similar to the Blue Board.  This shaft is definitely geared for the stronger player looking for good control and slightly higher ball flight than the Blue Board.  Higher launch and low spin is definitely the trend to optimize distance.  The White Board provides this balance.

Diamana Blue Board shaft is probably the most popular and scrutinized of the three.  The Blue Board is a low torque, stiff tip shaft that offers a very balanced feel for a variety of shots.  A very stable mid-section offers a less kick to enhance balance and responsiveness.  The penetrating ball flight is well suited for the advanced player with plenty of swing speed, looking for a combination of balance, feel and versatility.

Golfers that understand the importance of shaft technology also know the Mitsubishi Diamana delivers.  Are you ready for the power and control of a Diamana?  If you are looking to upgrade your shaft during the off season, you owe it to yourself to check out the Diamana Shaft.

The Beginners Nightmare - Curing The Golf Slice

If you are new to golf then you will find that curing the golf slice is one of the first problems you face when you get past the basics.Hated by so many the slice is feared by all beginners. 

You will even see the pros fire off the occasional slice when under pressure.

But why is this so?Beginners before you discovered that a slice comprises two elements, an open clubface and a swing that moves from out to in across the ball.

One of the biggest problems golfers face today is curing that annoying slice. Imagine how much more accurate you can be if you could improve your golf swing technique and considerably decrease your slice.

Here are 5 tips to help you reduce your scores by getting rid of that annoying slice forever.

1. To eliminate the slice, you must develop a wide and powerful backswing. You have to keep your left arm straight as you take the club backwards, but you must not keep your left arm straight in your follow-through.

If kept straight, your left arm can lead to a heavy slice. This is due to your left arm hindering your right arm's natural rotation. How to adjust? Simple.

Let your left arm bend during your follow-through. Take a few swings with your left hand only then go straight into a normal swing.

2. Another cause of slicing is because you are letting your club get too far behind you on the backswing, which makes you get outside your target line on your downswing. Without a club, try swinging your left arm, mimicking a full swing.

Your arm has to cross your chest and meet up with your right shoulder. On the downswing, try replicating that motion exactly, only backwards.

3. When it comes down to it, a slice is just a lack of squaring the club with the ball. So you need a great finish to square the club with the ball correctly. Grab your 8 iron and tee the ball up.

Swing it back to waist height, cock the club up, and then pull towards your left. You should be aiming to hit the ball about 50 yards. Be sure to make your chest and belt buckle face your target.

4. Let's say your problem is a bit worse. You are hitting big banana slices. The secret is squaring the clubface to the ball earlier on in your swing. What you should do is draw a yard long straight line in the sand in a bunker.

Take a 5 iron or 6 iron and swing the club above the line. Try to get your divot to start at the line and go forward. You need to carry on this exercise until you can hit a minimum of 10 shots in a row.

5. Often one's slice can be eliminated, only to come back stronger than ever. Don't worry; there is a golf swing tip for this too. Head on over to the driving range. You need to find somewhere to put the ball at a raised height.

Start hitting balls with a strong left hand grip on the club. This naturally straightens out your swing. Make sure to grip the club in the usual way. Now you can kiss your slice goodbye.

Project X Shafts - You Deserve Only the Best Shaft

Rifle Project X is known amongst many PGA Tour players as the premier shaft.  The same reasons the Project X is known to be a "better player shaft" though may also be its own Achilles heel.  After all, how many recreational players can match a swing like a PGA tour player?  Probably not many - the Project X is known to be a shaft suited by few.  But recently, Rifle crafted the Project X to be more suitable for the average player when it announced two new Project X shafts models, Flighted and the High Launch.

Rifle Project X was the first shaft that incorporated three technologies, Frequency Matching, Stepless Design and Rifling.  The design of the technology was very complex.  In fact it was so complex, it took over two years to market. The shaft was designed with a constant taper - definitely geared for the advanced player. The constant taper tips result in a higher kick point. A higher kick point means a lower ball trajectory and gives the advanced player more control and penetrating ball flight. Yes, this shaft is definitely geared for the accomplished player in mind.  After all, a higher kick equates to harder to launch if not in the hands of the right player. At a minimum, a club head speed is a must for a player to take full advantage of this shaft.

Later in 2006, Rifle came out with two new Project X shafts, the Flighted and High Launch.  These shafts would keep all the characteristics that made the Project X great, Frequency Matching, Stepless Design and Rifling.  But now the Rifle offered a shaft that would adjust to the iron loft in the Flighted.  A lower kick point, higher launch for long irons and higher kick point, lower launch for the shorter irons.  The Flighted was a hit.

Also in 2006, Rifle introduced the High Launch.  This shaft again would embody what made the Project X great with an added twist.  A longer tip parallel section and reduced weight would make this shaft "playable" for even the high handicapper by allowing a greater transfer at impact making for a higher launch.  The Project X had gone full circle.

Whether you are an accomplished player or high handicapper, there are now three models in the Project X family sure to fit most all players.  The Project X shaft now offers golfers of all abilities the opportunity to experience true greatness.

Golf Grips Significant To Getting A Solid Swing

Everyone who has taken up the sport of golf has a pretty good idea of how important a quality set of clubs is to playing a good game. Many golfers, both amateur and pro, invest tidy sums of money to ensure they have a great set of clubs. There is also a lot of money spent on other golf training aids, such as golfing lessons or golf instruction video programs, but many times they forget to take care of their golf grips, which can be one of the simplest and cheapest of all golf aids.

Outfitting your golf club set with new grips is a very inexpensive and effective way to quickly improve your golf game by helping you have more consistency simply because you can get a better hold on your clubs. With a better and firmer grip, you will also be able to improve your golf swing.

If your golf club set has worn and tired golf grips, then it won't matter if you spend thousands of dollars to buy the best golf training aids on the market because the grips that are in bad shape will be a detriment to your game. Golfers who are serious about playing to their highest potential know that it is extremely important to keep all aspects of their golfing equipment in great condition.

The majority of people who golf never even consider the necessity to change out the grips on their golf clubs. Novices can play for years with the same set of clubs without changing the grips and then wonder why they don't see any improvement in their game, even though they put in time to practice and buy other golf improvement aids and tools, watch all the golf training videos they can get their hands on, and constantly talk about wanting to be a better golfer.

Professional golfers know exactly how important it is to change the grips on their clubs regularly. In fact, some pros will have their clubs re-gripped at the end of every round of a golf tournament or other competitive event they are participating in. The reason they do this is so that their clubs feel exactly the same in their hands every day that they start a new round of play.

This may be overkill for the average golfer, but in the highly competitive environment of today's golf tournaments, the pros are looking for every advantage they can find and they don't like to leave things to chance. If the professional golfers put that much emphasis on making sure their grips are in great condition, then that should be a strong signal to everyone else interested in lowering their scores and improving their game.

The general guidelines for how often to replace grips are as follows. If you play golf an average of one time per week, then the grips on your clubs should be changed once every year. If you frequently play a round two times a week, then you should increase the frequency of replacing the grips to twice a year. If you also get to the driving range once or twice a week, then you should change those grips even more often than that.

You may not need to replace all of the grips on your club set at the same time. It really depends on how often you use your clubs. You can choose to only replace the grips on the clubs that are used more and are starting to feel worn. However, some golfers like to have all of the clubs re-gripped at the same time so that, for awhile at least, all the clubs have the same feel to them.

It is recommended that you monitor the condition of your golf grips and give them a thorough inspection about once every month. If you play more than once a week, then you might even want to check them more frequently. If you notice that your grips look shiny and feel slippery, then they need to be replaced. New grips will feel somewhat sticky and will feel good in your hands. You should enjoy a nice sense of confidence as well.

Playing golf is a relaxing pastime for many people. The enjoy to devote a Saturday outside on the golf course simply having a leisurely game. While many people might wish to believe that they are an excellent golfer, just a few actually are. For thos people who aspire to be great at golf have to go through some degree of golf training if they wish their game to be exceptional. Learning how to play golf or learning how to improve your swing is not an unattainable task. It does require some effort and a lot of practice but with time you can be good at the sport.

Golf Equipment -What New Golfers Should Know

When it comes to learning about golf, golf equipment for beginners, is a subject sometimes greatly overlooked.

There are of course those lengthy books on how to swing, practicing tips, and how to train to be a good golfer, and you will find some of the best known sports stars endorsing some great products, making them even more desirable.

However, not every golfer is Tiger Woods, so not everyone will need the same equipment that he uses, especially if the golfer is just beginning to learn about golf.

Also juniors will need more specialist junior golf equipment which has been designed with smaller heads for slower swings and with shorter, more flexible shafts, these great package sets of clubs ensure that your kids hit the ball properly and really enjoy the game.

When you are just starting out, using a professional club will make your life more difficult than is neccesary as they are not designed with the beginner in mind.

This applies to all types of golf equipment so when you are at the golf shop or are shopping at an online golf shop try not to focus to much on endorsements.

What you should use:

When buying golf equipment, golf clubs are going to be one of the most expensive things that you buy. Because of this, you should spend a little extra time researching clubs that will work for you. Don't get drawn in to brand snobishness. Find a club that fits what you need.

Golf clubs as a rule of thumb are generally manufactured using steel and graphite or a combination of both. However, some are made of carbon fibre and titanium and composite alloys. For you, it is best to stick to steel and graphite clubs.

Clubs that are steel shafted are much more durable than carbon fibre or graphite clubs. They are much stronger, but are heavier to carry and use. Steel shafted clubs are said to have much more accuracy and control compared to graphite ones.

They require a less level of twisting, but don’t have the effective range that graphite shafted clubs do. You will have to use more power and a quicker swing to make the golf ball go the distance you need it to.

These work best for beginners because they help to develop accuracy and control from the start.

Picking the right shaft flex or level of stiffness for the club is also important to a beginner golfer. Professional golfers usually use a high level of stiffness so that high swing speeds can be generated. This means more power from a stiff flex.

Golf Balls

It can be uneconomical to soend large chunks of cash on top class balls when the economy balls will do the job nicely. As a beginner golfer, you will find that you lose a lot of the balls so start at the cheaper end until your basic game improves.

Hit A Par Every Time With Great Golf Swing Technique

Golf is a wonderful game, played by many throughout the world I think the attraction of the game for me is that you can build the best golf swing ever, but you can never beat the game.

You will have your good days and certainly you will have your bad days but it is the constant challenge that golf puts up to me that keeps me coming back. Time and time again friends have thrown their clubs in the back of the car vowing never to return until they sort their golf swing out.

Getting frustrated is just part of the many features of the game of golf. Of course people get upset golf is a very difficult game after all, no-one who plays denies this, but it is this challenge that keeps the game so interesting and enjoyable for so many.

How To Develop A Sound Golf Swing

The problem with starting out golf is that there is so much to think of and to buy. Getting the clubs is only the start, then you need the bag, glove and clothing. You then need something to hit and quite often lose, the golf balls, then of course you need to be prepared for the weather so you need shirts, jumpers and of course a wet suit just in case it rains.

Once you have all that then you may start to think about having some golfing lessons to learn about the golf swing itself.

Getting started in golf is as simple as booking a course of lessons with your friendly club pro. This will give you a sound grasp of the fundamentals of golf swing technique which you can work into your game through practice. Always look for courses that include a lesson or two on the actual course at the end.

Driving ranges and practice areas are essential parts of any golf club but there is never any substitute for experience on the course. When starting out, course management is probably very far from your mind but a little bit of knowledge in this area is worth many shots. Taking a lesson out on the course is the best practice you can get, real world situations tackled by you under the watchful eye of your pro.

After you have finished your regular golf lessons keep in touch with the pro and have the odd lesson to check on your progress and to see no errors have crept into your swing.

As golf lessons can become expensive over time many people look for books and instructional videos to carry on their learning. You can always go back to the pro at a later date to iron out specific problems under an experienced eye.

A golf swing book is great because being lightweight you can take it to the driving range and practice that golf swing tip the author is explaining to you first hand. If you have not used them before videos are great for seeing techniques put into action, reading is one thing but actually seeing the movements is a great learning tool.

Make no mistake golf is hard, but it is also very enjoyable, enthralling and a brilliant pastime.

Golf Training Aids - Advanced Technology To Increase Your Effectiveness On The GolfCourse

Golf Training Aids

There was a time when not many devices were available when it came to golf training and improvement. It seemed that for awhile the only thing on the market was the simple little putting trainers that would send the golf ball back to you if you managed to putt across the carpet and get the ball into the device. These days, there are many types of golf training aids and many of them are quite high tech, and a far cry from those early golf aids.

Another "old fashioned" approach to golf training was having another person, stopwatch in hand, to carefully watch your swing and keep a record of the progress being made. But today, one of the most popular golfing training aids combines a high speed camera and a computer. The camera feeds images into the computer, which quickly and easily analyzes and reports back any problems that are identified in your swing or stance. This feedback allows you to make corrections and try again, then just wait for a moment to see a new golf swing analysis on the changes you tried, which helps you to instantly see the progress you are making.

Today, you can walk into a pro golf shop or golfing equipment retailer and find a huge selection of golf training aids and accessories, all designed to make you a better player. When choosing the right golf training aid, you should first focus on what seems to be your worst golfing habit and try to find a golf trainer device that can address that problem the best.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to identify what bad habits you have acquired that might be holding you back and interfering with your game. Oftentimes, these can be very small and subtle things that are not easy to see in oneself and even golfing buddies can have trouble pinpointing the problem. This is when it can be very helpful to hire a golf pro and take a few golfing lessons. A professional golf trainer can very quickly see where you are having trouble and can offer suggestions for correcting the problem.

Once you have that input from the golf instructor, who can also make suggestions about specific golf training equipment to help you correct the problem, it will be easier to go out and find the correct training aids that will help you improve your swing and lower your score. If you cannot find the right golfing accessories at your local pro shop, then you can look online where you will find an almost limitless selection of accessories, tools, equipment and videos that are perfectly designed for training and game improvement.

Recently, an interesting golf training aid was introduced to the market by Tiger Woods' golf coach, Butch Harmon. This golf trainer system has quickly become one of the most sought after golf training aids because of the reputation of Woods and Harmon. This system uses two lasers which assist the golfer in seeing how they are doing in controlling their golf swing plane. In addition to the lasers, the device also has an instructional DVD and other valuable tips for making your golf game better.

Playing golf is a relaxing pastime for many people. They love to spend a Saturday out on the golf course just having a leisurely game. While everyone may want to believe that they are a great golfer, only a few actually are. Those that aspire to golf greatness need to undergo some golf training if they want their game to be great. Learning how to play golf or learning how to improve your swing is not an unattainable task. You will need to put in some effort as well as quite a bit of practice yet with some time you can become good at the sport of golf.

How Golf Instruction Video Programs Have Numerous Benefits Over Just Lessons

Golf has become one of the most popular hobbies to really stand the test of time. There are people in all countries and from every different walk of life who enjoy a good game of golf and who are always looking for ways to improve their game. Golf instruction video programs are a really terrific way for people to gain the training and instruction that they need to become better golfers.

While having golfing lessons under the tutelage of a professional golf instructor can be very beneficial, as well as discussing golf improvement tips with fellow golfers, many feel there is something especially helpful about using instruction video tapes as learning aids. Because of their effectiveness, golfing lessons on video or DVDs nowadays, have become more and more popular since they were first introduced.

There are even many golf instructional pros who state that the golf instruction video programs have some significant advantages over taking live golfing lessons. Most golf pros agree that there are four major benefits, which are also the main selling points for making use of the golf training videos that are available nowadays.

Instructional video programs provide visual learning and this is very important to many people. There is a great deal of research that proves when people engage their senses of both sight and sound, they tend to learn better and faster and they retain the information much better. Also, most beginning golfers, and even those who are experienced, tend to prefer to see golf swing improvement techniques demonstrated, as opposed to simply reading about the method being taught.

The second reason why golf training videos are popular, as well as advantageous, is because they are more accessible to more people. They can save people a lot of money as compared to hiring a golf pro for a series of golf lessons, which typically will cost somewhere in the range of $50 to $150 per lesson. Instead, a DVD golf instruction program can deliver the same information but at a small fraction of the price. As a bonus, you can always go back and review any lesson at any time without having to dig into your wallet again to pay for a brush-up lesson.

The third advantage of buying instructional videos is that you can make the most of technology and stop and rewind the video at any point, which is not something that is possible in the presence of a live instructor, especially if you are taking group golfing lessons, as opposed to individual instruction. Being able to rewind and review any part of a particular lesson, or the entire lesson, helps to improve learning and retention through repetition.

The fourth major benefit to using instructional video programs is being able to take advantage of the unique technologies of video production that can be applied to instruction. Golf training videos can utilize many helpful presentation techniques to enhance explanations and present the information more effectively. It is common to see golf videos that use inserts, split screens, close up views, and 3D, computer generated graphics to teach the fundamentals of golf.

These four benefits tend to be the advantages that most people readily mention when talking about golf instruction video programs; however, if you were to talk to golfers who have used such programs, then you would undoubtedly discover that there are a number of other benefits as well. There are differences in teaching styles on the various golf training videos and one style might be more appealing than another. Therefore, it is a good idea to read reviews or talk to others who have used different programs. You can also ask at a pro shop if you can view a sample lesson before buying a full set of golf instruction videos.

playing the game of golf is a relaxing recreation for numerous people. The enjoy to devote a Saturday outside on the golf course simply having a leisurely game. While many people might wish to believe that they are an excellent golfer, just a few actually are. For thos people who aspire to be great at golf have to go through some degree of golf training if they wish their game to be exceptional.

You will need to put in some effort as well as quite a bit of practice yet with some time you can become good at the sport of golf.

Golf Swing Training - Important To Developing Golf Abilities

Tiger Woods Golf Swing

All golfers know that developing a good golf swing is pivotal to becoming a good golfer. As a golfer improves his swing, he gains more confidence in his game and soon sees his scores dropping, as shooting under par becomes more and more common. In light of the fact that golf is such a popular sport and hobby these days, it is not surprising that golf swing training is also very popular, especially with beginners.

One of the simplest approaches to golf swing improvement is to use a special golf training club. This type of club can help to increase the golf swing speed and the power behind the swing as well. If you really want to improve your golf swing, then you cannot really find a golf training device that is more specific or effective.

Over the years, it has become quite clear that one of the most effective ways to approach golf swing training is to make use of a specially weighted club that is known as a golf swing trainer. This added weight in the club is the secret to creating extra resistance during the swing and with repeated practice your strength improves, which in turn will result in a better swing.

The most apparent and direct result of using a golf training club correctly is an increase in driving distance that a golfer will notice almost immediately. This is because the golfer is training the muscles that he uses during a swing to work against the resistance of the weighted club, which provides an element of strength training. When the golfer picks up a standard club, his muscles will have been readied to hit the ball harder than ever before because of this strength training.

Training to improve the golf swing is primarily a function of repetition combined with muscle training. It is helpful to go through the complete range of motions for a standard swing, or an even bigger range of movement if possible, with as many repetitions as possible.

However, it is more important to make sure that you are also practicing the correct stance during this training. Using a golf training club, or any other type of golf training aid, without taking the time to learn how to use them correctly will only result in frustration and disappointment. Practicing a swing that has poor form will not improve your game. If you are not sure whether or not you have proper form, then you should seek out the help of professional golf swing trainers.

Another way that you can benefit from golf swing training is in improving your backswing and your follow through. This is also accomplished with the help of a good quality golf swing trainer club and can result in a great deal more power at the point of impact on the golf ball. In addition to using a golf trainer club, it is also a good idea to do other stretching and strengthening exercises that will help support your entire frame and make you stronger overall and therefore a better golfer.

Are you a novice golfer who does not know how to swing the club at the ball? Do you constantly find yourself swinging aimlessly at the ball and it not going where it is supposed to go? You have to get some training in golf. Even the golf greats such as Tiger Woods had to start somewhere and it all begins with practice. Even though you might not be a natural at this type of sport that doesn't mean that you have no chance of actually becoming a geat golfer with enough practice and time. if you have some interest in perfecting your golf swing or simply have to get some additional assistance, click here to get some more information: Nike Golf School also Golf Training and at Peltz Golf School

Oftentimes, even experienced golfers find that they are left with various aches, soreness and stiffness after they play a round of golf. This happens because of the stress and strain that is placed on the body as the person goes through the motion of the swing, centralizing in the back in most cases. A good golf fitness program helps strengthen the muscles in the back and this, in turn, can help reduce the pain while also helping to improve your golf swing.

Regular exercise is important for staying in shape and for playing golf to your best abilities, especially if it is a competitive game with a group of golf buddies who like to take bets on the round. A good fitness program designed for golfers will help protect your muscles and joints simply by making them stronger and better able to handle the rigors of a vigorous round of golf.

The best thing about these golf improvement programs is that they help you to maintain the necessary physical mechanics that support the swing, which is the most important aspect of the game. By doing golf stretching movements and exercises that are part of golf training videos for fitness, you will be able to create and build the correct muscles and also increase joint resistance and flexibility. Combined, this helps to keep you strong and limber at the same time, which will help you to execute the needed moves.

As golfers age, they also need to stay in the best shape possible if they want to feel that their game is always improving rather than diminishing. However, it is easy to spot those older golfers who obviously follow a golf fitness guide because you can see them walking the fairways with a spring in their step.

Golf Tip - How To Improve Your Backswing

Every golfer should invest some time and effort into fine tuning their backswing. Although there are many golf tips that can help develop better aim and form, the best advice is to stick with the basics. This holds true for beginners and amateur alike.

Mustering as much power and accuracy as possible while maintaining form and balance is the goal for every golfer. To accomplish this, you must be able to give the ball everything you've got, but without what is commonly referred to as “coming over the top”.

That describes a swing flaw which causes the clubhead to veer off to the outside of your target line during the downswing. The result? A horrendous slice.

Come From The Inside

The best way to avoid such a shot is to learn how to avoid coming over the top, thus keeping your clubhead from moving outside of the target line. This can be accomplished by simply working on a technique which is opposite of coming over the top: come at the ball from the inside.

More accomplished golfers can do this each and every time they try, but coming at the ball from the inside may be easier said than done for the beginner golf player. Practice, practice, practice is the key and once you get the hang of it, you can rid yourself of that terrible slice shot by making impact with the ball from a downswing which comes from the inside of the target line ever so slightly.

Train Yourself To Target The Inside

There are drills that you can practice which will help you train yourself so that you can come from the inside on your swing whenever needed. Below is a simple training procedure known as a swing path drill:

1. Take 3 tees and placed them into the turf approximately 3 to 4 inches apart from one another, and in a perfect line at a 45° angle with your target line. If you are a right-handed golfer then the line should be pointing to your left foot. Make sure that you have enough room in between each tee so that you can swing the club through.

2. Now it is time to find your swing path. Take out your 5-iron and initiate a few swings by attempting to hit the top portion of the middle tee. In order to do so, your clubhead must pass between the outside tees in a pathway best described as “in-to-out” in order to avoid contact with them.

By practicing this technique and hitting the middle tee in this fashion on a consistent basis, you are making contact correctly from the inside. If you happen to hit the outside tees then you are still coming over the top and need more practice on your swing.

Tips for Finding the Best Ladies Golf Clubs

Why Can't I Find Ladies Golf Clubs?

When searching for ladies golf clubs to fit a female golfer you will always find that this is a difficult task and although more women are now playing golf it really doesn't seem to get much easier.

Just like all situations where you need to find equipment for use by a human, whether male or female, there is always going to be a level of compromise in how suitable the equipment will be when you start to use it.

Golf Clubs are Primarily for a Male Dominated Market

Golf clubs are a specialist market and one that is driven by demand and this is where lady golfers miss out. The number of women playing golf is still smaller compared to the number of men that play, so ladies golf clubs tend to be a smaller market restricted by the high costs of producing specialist clubs just for ladies.

If you are a female golfer you may just get lucky and find that a standard golf club design for the male market will work for you too, but this does not often happen. Usually it is extremely difficult for a women golfer to find suitable clubs, especially when they are trying to put a whole golf set together.

Women Are Different Than Men

Because men and women are physically different the needs of the woman golfer are always going to be different too and golf clubs are no exception to this requirement. Some clubs maybe too stiff or even too flexible and the woman golfer is unlikely to have the right swing for a mans club.

If the golf clubs are lighter then they are more likely to be suitable for ladies as the increased swing speed will longer shots, but the lady may find that there is a slight loss of the control that would be available from a heavier club.. The actual length of the club is also important as women are normally shorter than men and only a shorter ladies club will bring the comfort required for a better fit..

As with all things where fit and comfort are of great importance it always pays to test the product if at all possible before making the final commitment to part with your money. With ladies golf clubs you must prepare yourself for a lot of research before you reach this point.

Try Custom Build or Specialist Female Clubs

Fortunately there are quite a few manufacturers who produce purpose built golf clubs for women such as woods, wedges and irons that are design specifically to aid the female golfer. In general these do tend to be lighter clubs so ladies can more easily improve their golf game and make quicker progress.

When a woman golfer improves her game her demands for a better club will mean that getting better fitting and more comfortable golf clubs for women becomes even more essential. This requirement may mean that the only solution to getting the perfect clubs is to seek out custom ladies golf clubs to ensure the best fit.

There will be additional costs to pay for ladies golf clubs that are custom made. However this maybe a small price to pay as the benefits and additional enjoyment you get as your golf game improves will probably be worth it.

Although there are many more purpose built womens golf clubs on the market these days, it is still relatively difficult for a lady golfer to find what she needs to suit her golf skill and her style of golf.

Never Give Up Your Search!

Bad equipment will hold back any lady golfer so it is important to find what you really need as soon as you can and getting the right equipment is essential if you want to progress. To do this you need the right equipment that is going to actually help you and not hold you back.

Golf In Florida Part 5

This is the fifth installment of a continuing series reviewing great golf courses in Florida and, in particular, the Tampa Bay region. We’ll cover other areas of The Sunshine State in later installments.

This time around, a look at two fabulous courses that belong to one facility. It’s The Eagles Golf Course At Tampa Bay, located on Nine Eagles Drive in Odessa, northwest of Tampa and just a bit north of Tampa Bay Downs. The Eagles is a fabulous layout, one of the very best in the region. The facilities are outstanding and both courses are a definite treat for all levels of players.

Let’s look first at the Forest Course, which, from the tips, stretches to 6,719 yards at par 72. The first hole is a par 5 at 510 yards. The water on the left of the tee should not come into play. A well-placed drive will get you a chance of reaching the green in two. A deep bunker guards the right side of the green and fairway mounds need negotiating.

The second hole is a lovely par 4 of 386 yards, bending right gently across rolling, mounded terrain. Number three on this beautiful course is a wonderful risk-reward par 4 of just 311 yards. But if you go for it, you’d better be accurate. The straight path to the green doesn’t play the full 311, since the hole bends right. But water down the entire right side and some serious bunkers might make you rethink the gamble.

Number four is a picturesque par 3 of 141 yards that plays partially over water which shouldn’t come into play. At number five you’re faced with the toughest hole on the front side, a 443 yard par 4 with water down the left, requiring a very accurate tee shot, and a green guarded by a huge bunker on the left and severe depressions on the right.

At number 6, make sure you have the right club. This 158 yard par 3 is a virtual island, surrounded by water on three sides. The seventh is a 519 yard par 5 double dogleg, with water on the right. The eighth is a 410 yard beauty of a par 4. It’s a dogleg left with water down the entire right side and a well-bunkered green with a tricky putting surface.

The front nine wraps up with a 410 yard par 4 that sports water down the left and deep fairway bunkers on the right. Grabbing a par here is a solid score.

The back nine on the Forest Course begins with a terrific par 5 of 476 yards that is reachable, but the second shot has to be very accurate as the green is guarded by water front left. Number eleven is a solid test at 403 yards. It’s a dogleg right that plays to a narrow green.

Number twelve is without argument the most difficult par 3 on the course at 228 yards that plays to a very large, undulating green with a hump in the middle. Number thirteen will give you all the par 4 you can handle at 443 yards. It’s a lovely hole that angles slightly right. After a well-placed drive, your second needs to carry across a lake to a big green that has lots of putting adventure in it. A par 4 here will make your day.
The next two holes give you a break, with number fourteen playing at 385 yards and number fifteen 371 yards. Fourteen is a slight dogleg left and fifteen is fairly straightaway. It’s the second shot on fifteen that’s tricky. The green is guarded by water on the left.

Sixteen is one of the prettiest holes on the course, a par 3 that measures 190 yards and is played over water. With a lake to your right, it’s truly a beautiful setting. Number 17 is an outstanding par 5 of 534 yards with water down the entire left side. The fairway is fairly narrow, so accuracy is a must. The third shot, or second for the bigger hitters, must thread its way onto the narrow green.

The Forest Course winds up with a 402 yard par 4 that is about a forty-five degree dogleg left. The fairway narrows down in the driving area, making it a tricky tee shot. The Forest Course is the newer of the two at The Eagles and certainly is a must play in the region.

Now, let’s get in 36 as we swing over the The Lakes Course at The Eagles, a stout test at 7,089 yards and par 72. It begins with an unusual 498 yard par 5 that is a double dogleg. The tee shot must negotiate a narrow opening of trees on both sides. The second shot must be carefully placed, since water guards the left side of the fairway and the left front of the green.

The second hole is a 391 yard par 4 that calls for an accurate tee shot, since the fairway narrows down severely in the driving area. Number three is another par 4 of 398 yards that allows for more latitude on the tee shot. It’s a slight dogleg left. Number four plays at par 5 and 527 yards and is basically straightaway. But your second shot needs to favor the right side, since the green is partly tucked on the left.

Number five is a picturesque 387 yard par 4 that bends left around another of the ever present lakes and requires an accurate second shot to an undulating green. Number six is a lovely par 3 of 216 yards that plays over water, although the water ends well in front of the green and shouldn’t come into play.

Number seven winds its 420 yards around and between two lakes. The hole bends right and demands a very accurate tee shot. The second shot plays to an elevated green with a lot of contour. Number eight is a good par 3 of 208 yards, with a green that is slightly bowl shaped.

The front nine ends with a strong 443 yard par 4 dogleg right with a lake on the right and two small ponds on the left. The green is long and narrow. A four here is a victory.

The tenth hole is a terrific par 5 of 535 that beckons you to gamble. A tee shot in the right place will enable you to cut across the lake that sits in the dogleg of this hole with your second shot. But miss it, and you’re on your way to a big number.

The eleventh is a difficult par 4 of 449 yards that bends slightly left and requires an accurate tee shot to a narrow fairway.The second shot is played to an elevated green that is shallow and angles right to left. Another hole where par is an excellent score.

The twelfth is a very nice par 3 of 172 yards that plays to an undulating green with several mounds. Put your tee shot in the wrong spot, and two-putting becomes an adventure. The thirteenth is the last break you’ll get on this tough back nine. It’s a 386 yard par 4 with a tee shot over water to a fairway that bends left toward the elevated green.

As you approach the fourteenth, you need to get your game face on, because the finishing holes are tough and challenging. Fourteen is a brutal 462 yard par 4. The landing area is generous, though, but if you’re playing into the wind, this baby is all you can handle.

Fifteen is another strong par 4 at 433 yards. Your tee shot needs to hug the left side, since a lake is strategically present on the right. But if you hug the left too much, a large tree will give your second shot trouble.

Sixteen is a 412 yard par 4 that might seem short after the last two holes. It bends gently left and features a wide fairway and a large, slightly elevated green. Seventeen checks in at a stout 232 yards. This par 3 is a real test over a lake that is definitely in play.

The Lakes Course comes to a close with a terrific par 5 that measures 521 yards. There is water to the right off the tee and a ditch to carry on your second shot. The green is small and tricky.

The Eagles At Tampa Bay is one of the fine tests in the region, no matter which eighteen you decided to take on. The golf complex is, indeed, a cut above.
