Your Golf Clubs

2:21 pm June 1, 2009

A. Measuring

Do you know how each of your clubs will perform during ideal
conditions (distance wise)? In the past, golfers would just go by feel
when choosing a club for their shots….

But, by now, you probably realize just how effective it is to know
your clubs, so to speak. You need to know them so that you can hit
your ball as close to the intended target as possible.

If you do not have a clear idea of approximately how far you will hit
the ball with each of your clubs, you will repeatedly hit shots that are
either too far or too short. And, your scorecard will show it…

Do yourself a favor and take the time to remove the guesswork. Not
only will your score improve, but your accuracy & concentration
levels will increase as well.

Even though specific clubs are designed for long shots & others for
short ones, the distance that different players can hit with the very
same club can vary tremendously.

This is why so many beginner golfers do not get the results that they
want from a club that is supposed to hit the ball a certain distance. It
varies by player.

The best way to learn what you can accomplish with each specific
club is to find a large field that is big enough to handle the distance
of your longest drive. Make sure that it isn’t too windy & make sure
that the field is empty (for obvious safety reasons).

In order to measure the distance correctly, you need to measure it in
yards. First, take out a yardstick & lay it on the ground. Take one
step forward & see see how many yards (or more likely fraction of A
yard) you’ve step covers.

Now, take out each club & hit 7 to 10 shots with every one. After
each shot, measure the distance by pacing off how far each ball
traveled.

All you have to do now is convert the distance of each ball from
your paces to yards to learn exactly how many yards each one of
your clubs will likely hit the ball during a game.

Make sure you record the average distance that each club hits it for.

Average is best because you never know what could happen. But,
long term, things ALL tend toward averages.

B. Room For Error

A real golf game will not have the same ideal conditions that you
used during your tests. You’ll never be able to make contact with the
ball perfectly square & hit the sweet spot every time.

But, since you recorded an average above, you’ll have a pretty good
idea of a general range of where the ball will land. And if you are
playing against regular players, it’s doubtful they’ve EVER done the
exercise in A. above.

Now that you have an idea of how far each of your clubs will cause
the ball to go, your strategic planning abilities should improve
tremendously.

A lot of the guesswork is now taken out of your shots. You now
have knowledge of your capabilities in terms of how far you can hit
the ball with whatever club you should choose to use.
