When I decided to take up golf, I was told, "you'll either love it or you'll hate it". I was somewhat familiar with the game but I had never actually played. My husband, who is an avid golfer, had tried for years to get me to play. He knew if I just tried it, I would love it. I finally gave in and, needless to say, he was right. I love this game! |

A 3 or 4 iron will give you a decent penetrating shot with a fairly low flight trajectory and a corresponding roll. However this can be difficult to control with any great accuracy especially on a dry firm fairway. The reduced top spin produced by the average player with a long iron also gives a greater margin for side spin off the more upright face leading to a pronounced curve to the ball flight. A hybrid / utility/ rescue golf club with its lower centre of gravity helps to launch the ball higher with more top spin giving a straighter shot and a more "drop and stop " characteristic. This makes it ideal for those shots into the green where a long iron will bounce or roll off. |

One of the things that stand out as I look over the audience is the average age of the participants. While there are significant numbers of baby boomer's, new comers, and even a few youngsters in the mix, a large portion of the attendees are "Senior Golfers". Once you've reached the age of 50 you are considered a "senior golfer" but I've had private lessons with golfers as old as 91! Bottom line is, no matter what your age, you can still strive to improve your golfing experience and the proof is in the bookings. |

Specifically, to take your golf to the next level, you have to work your golf specific muscles. Unless you are a professional golfer, you have to get as much distance of the tee as possible. Why? For the casual golfer, the closer you are to the green, the more chance you will have of landing your ball on the green near the hole. Then you will have more chance of making a par or better. If you only hit your drives 200 yards or less, you will always be faced with a long iron into the green. Now I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to consistently get long irons anywhere near the hole. I would much rather be faced with a 7 iron and above for my second shot on a par 4. |
