Pro's Tips

Welcome to the golf tip section, designed to assist you in improving your golf game

Only 6 more weeks until Golf Season. Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, and by the way he did, Groundhog Day is a good reminder to begin getting your game ready for the upcoming golf season.

If you haven't already started, it's time to begin working on your most important piece of golf equipment - yourself!

Body - Unless you are a well-conditioned athlete, your body could most likely benefit from some type of fitness program. Whether it is cardio, strength training, stretching program, or all of the above, if you work at improving your condition, you will improve your golf and your life.

Mind - Your mind will also need to be sharp for the challenges you will face on the golf course this season. Self-doubt is a roadblock that holds us back from attaining our goals. To overcome this obstacle, you need to train your mind to focus on the positive and to enjoy your golf round as much as possible. The Internet has unlimited information on positive golf. Also, posted on the home page of our website in the scrolling news section are positive golf thoughts which refresh regularly.

In upcoming tips we will be discussing golf clubs and golf balls, and which types of equipment can benefit your game the most.

 

USGA Rule Book


Rules Of Golf -

Groove Rule Made Simple

U Shaped Grooves or ‘Square Grooves' apply more spin to the golf ball than V Shaped Grooves when hitting a ball out of the rough. When a ball is hit from the fairway, either groove will work well since there is no grass between the club and the ball at impact.

Tour Players were able to get the golf ball to spin on the green from shots hit from the rough, using U Shaped Grooves. This took away the value of a straight Tee Shot. The golf authorities wanted to make the Tee Shot important again, so they changed the rules back to before U Shaped Grooves were allowed.

Now, as of January 1, 2010, all Tour Players and any Amateurs playing in a U.S.Open Championship must use V Shaped Grooves.

All amateurs playing on the local or state level can continue to use U Shaped Grooves until 2024.

Golf Club Manufacturers may continue to make U Shaped Grooves until 2011.

Golf Club Retailers can continue to sell U Shaped Grooves indefinately.
