Welcome

Welcome to "Better Golfing" - the site for the golfing community at large.
Whether you have just started playing golf or whether you are an accomplished player this site is for you.
In this website I plan to give you some honest opinions on equipment but more importantly give you a reality check on YOU. You are different to me and you are different to Tiger.
With some honest opinion and advice, the correct basic equipment and a little bit of practice we will get you on the road to Better Golfing!

Better Golfing - Simply.

With "Better Golfing" I hope to get you to relax about the game of golf, enjoy it to the best of your ability, accept your limitations, retain your competitive edge and celebrate your achievements. We need to learn to enjoy to the full those days when "everything goes right" and accept the times when "absolutley nothing you do works". I welcome your participation by way of anectodes, questions and opinions - please contribute freely. With your input I hope to make this a place where we can all enjoy the game more and all move on to "Better Golfing".

Let's Talk Golf!

Golf is probably the most mysterious game of all and is pretty unique in many aspects. First and foremost it is a game that involves a static ball. In most other games the ball is moving at a high speed and the participants either have to hit, catch, kick, dodge, steer or guide it somewhere. There are no two golf courses that are the same, and all golf course are altered daily by moving the teeing ground and or moving the pin location. No two shots ARE EVER the same. Participants have an array of up to 14 clubs to choose from for each shot. It is a game where the partcipant is the referee. The game relies on the honesty of each golfer to ensure the rules are adhered to. How unique is that? Golf is played year round - weather permitting. There are only 34 rules in golf. These 34 rules and the various definitions cover any situation that may arise in the course of a round of golf.

Where have I been?

Embarrasingly I note that my last post was the end of May!!
My sincere apologies but we had a bit of a drama in the family and that has taken my eye off the ball - lifted my head (so to speak) and had an "air shot"). I have also been very busy these last three months with setting up an exciting new venture with my wife. So I have my excuses but I am now back.
Despite all the distractions I have been following all the golf tournaments and it is so encouraging to see a lot of first time winners emerging on the PGA tour. And I have never seen such an exciting finish as The Travelers produced. I was on the edge of my seat with my wife screaming in my ear that we were late for an appointment. Well we were even later when it went to a playoff because I wasn't movint until that game was over.
The weather over here in New Zealand has been awful these past two weeks and I haven't been able to get out on the course as much as I would have liked - but then who does?
I have had some very positive and encouraging feed back from some of the students on my six week challenge. It seems they all find the course to be totally different to what they expected, in a positive way. Thanks guys and gals the feed back is always appreciated.
I promise that from now on I will make appearances at my own blog more regularly.
Thank you for your patience.
