ARE YOU A GOLF COURSE ADDICT?
——————————————-

What is it about golf that is so contagious? Why is it that we take this game so seriously? How come we are drawn to the golf courses like moths to the flames? All these questions can be answered with one simple answer. It is human nature to be competitive and to crave entertainment. You crave the smell of fresh cut greens, you love the feel of power that your mega driver gives when you step up to the tee. Oh, and let us not forget that unquenchable urge to pilot that stylish yet macho war wagon that transports us and our assorted weapons of warfare the golf bag, golf shoes, golf clubs, putters , drivers, tees, balls and infantry around the green battlefield. All arrayed in our uniforms looking like an adfomercial for the local Golf Pro Shop. The anticipation of putting your war stratagies, that took all week to mastermind, into play.Yea buddy, you have planned on how to avoid the sand traps,bunkers, navigate the waterways, shorts to the tin cup, every detail planned out to a tee. Finally saturday morning tee time has arrived and so have you. You have met up with the hand picked victims of your crusade. The General is in command, your strategy is paying off. The first three is yours without retaliation.Then it happens, around the fifth hole your carefully planned out war stratagy has gone to crap. The pressure is now on and the victor falls prey to the victim again by the eighteenth hole. But like a true warrior, you never give up, you will not be taken a P.O.W. The last words of the evening that are forced from the brain to quivering vocal chords across a stuttering tounge and through your thin stretched lips “I have not yet began to play.  You don’t let your adversaries know that it is eating you alive. Now the routine starts all over again you begin the the war plans for next weekend. Guess what you are a full blown golf addict looking for the next golf fix. You have now become a member of the G.A. A. If you are not fimilar with this group, you will be before long. It is widely known as the Golf Addicts Anonymous. The help line number is 1.800.whens the next tee time, or you can go to the following web  address: www.WhoCares@BackOffDear.now. This is all in the context of humor, but how close to the truth  is it really? Just a thought for meditation.

PRO GOLF COURSE TO WEALTH AND PROMOTION
————————————————————- 

 Golf is not just a game to everyone. The golf course is the modern day board room, the office, and the cafe where promotions are given and taken away. It is the  million dollar contract awarding ceremonial grounds. You see golf is a game of strategy, skill and composure. How you perform on the course tells a lot about you as a leader, manager and planner. Some will disagree with that statement and there is some grounds to base that argument. But you have to understand that being from both sides of the fence I have seen it and actually have been apart of these meetings. I have set in on contract award meetings that were never signed or awarded until a game or two of golf was played. I have been on the golf course among the swinging clubs, the whizzing golf balls, the six hundred dollar golf shoes and the humming golf carts when promotions to top assignments were handed out. At times that decision was not arrived at with ones true abiltity in mind. With all this said, in my opinion this is just one more reason that a person should strive to be the best golf stratagists or artists that they can be. You need to know when to take it and when to dish it out. Plan the times when to lay up or when to excel  and burn up the course. Study who you are playing with, they may just be the one that helps you move up from the street of struggle to the avenues of abundance. The next time your spouse gets ticked off when you say you are going for a round of golf, just say, Honey I am going out to get the kids college fund, your new home, and I will be back for supper.

GOLF THE GAME OF KINGS
——————————–
 
It has been said that the game of golf was the game of kings and noblemen.Well things have changed since that statement was made. We have to rephrase that saying to, golf is the game of king, queens, nobles and all the rest of us too. For the beginning let us say you get invited to play golf with your boss, a buddy or vendor to play in a shot gun golf tourney. You have your reservations about going out all day long hitting a little white golf ball around with a golf club that you don’t have a clue whether it is pitching wedge, a driver, or putter. In your mind you are thinking I could be fishing,hunting, gardening, or doing honey do’s around the house and get more bang for the buck. But its your best buddy or boss so you might ought to go play just to be polite. Hey, they probably just need a mule oops, I meant a caddy to carry that golf bag around and fetch the brewskies. You meet at seven a.m. and hit the greens by eight thirty and around 4th hole you realize you are actually having fun. Then somewhere around the nineth hole you are really thinking that maybe there is something to this thing called golf. Yep, by the fifteenth hole you are thinking this was worth the trip and you are gettin the hang of this game. The kicker is you find yourself trying to beat the self appointed pros that invited you to come. The eighteenth hole and guess what you are hooked like a large mouth bass on a spinnerbait. The day after you are still meditating on that new found addiction. You got up before the rest of the family, got your cup of coffee and your are now perched in front of the computer hitting the search engines with a purpose. You hit all the golf sites researching the price of golf clubs, golf shoes, golf bags, tees, golf balls, and Lord forbid we would forget the lucky golden golfing glove of champions. Oh man you got it bad, dude. Yep, but what the heck, you needed another hobby right?

GOLF THE GAME OF REVELATIONS
——————————————

So you are hooked on the game of golf and it is still fun and then the “reality” there is more to this game than just trying to see how far you can hit the little white ball. It has become a game of precision, control, stratagies and total composure. You have now earned the right to use the golf vocabulary. You use phrases like I bogied the forth hole, I birdied the sixth hole, I eagled the thirteenth and got a hole in one on the eighteenth. You are shooting the high 70s and then right out of the blue it happens. For some reason you just peaked out. You start asking around if anyone else ever experienced this type of trauma. You try everything your peers suggested and you even get worse at the game of hit and miss golf. Is it your golf stance or your swing technique at the tee.  Why is it you can not get anymore distance out of your drive? Why are you hooking left or slicing right? Do you need to stand behind the ball or in front of the ball to get lift and distance? Maybe it is your weight distribution during you swing. Guess what your buddies are not going to tell you their secretes to how they beat the golf socks off you every time you play. Hey, don’t worry, you are not the only golfer that has rowed that boat. Every person that has played the game has kicked their golf balls, bent their drivers, punished their putters, even tore up the grass at one time or more. You are not alone. So if you are the one that keeps getting the golf balls handed to him/her on a silver platter more often than not? Well don’t give up on that desire to be a winner. There is enough information on the subject of playing pro golf that you could do research from now to end of man.

When playing do you have trouble gauging how far a certain obstacle is, or how far away from the green you need to get to on your next golf shot? Are you that type of person with an uncanny ability to estimate how far you need to hit your next shot? For most people it’s a guessing game but,it so much more important when it comes to scoring.

It can make a huge difference between shooting a great score or being left to frustration and wanting to break every club in your bag.

When I was caddying professionally my job 30 years ago was to make sure I walked the golf course before my partner even showed up. You knew the distances of every club your pro swung at. It was your job to walk the fairways marking down every rock, sand traps, trees, water or any other permanent obstacle that you could gauge from the tees or any other spots from the fairways to the greens.

You would mark all of this down in a little black book. Then everyday early in the morning before each round you would graph out each hole’s pin placements. Measuring it out by using the old traditional way of one foot in front of the other how far from the front, sides, and back of the greens.

You also observed where the pin placements of the day were by writing it down. You marked down locations on the greens, by showing it on a graph. If it’s on a hill, swale or what kind of breaks to the hole when putting from different locations on the green and its various angles. Where is the flat part of the green or safest place to hit the ball to. There was a combination of both guess work and knowing your player’s skill level.

While there are golf traditionalist who considers the intervention of technology such as range finders or GPS systems to be some kind of interference and sacrilege to the integral challenge of the game of golf. There are many others who are more interested in perfecting their physical skills, and taking out the guesswork that causes frustration. Why penalize yourself a stroke because of an unseen water hazard or experience the maddening irritation of being in a sand trap if a better calculation can avoid all of these obstacles.

There are those who would argue that one’s mental and physical ability is the true elements of what counts the most in the game of golf, and not one’s ability to play guessing games with the golf course architecture.

Modern technology is coming to the aid of golfers once again. The newest latest craze and greatest technological achievement for the outdoor enthusiast or athlete is the hand-held GPS system. By using a hand-held GPS range finder, a golfer now has the uncanny ability to cut several strokes off from their scores.

By getting a better, more accurate read on distances to the green, the pin, and the precise location of hazards. A golfer can even use the GPS range finder to get better club suggestions, as the more precise calculations of yardage allows for more precise estimations of what club is needed for the next golf shot at hand.

While many golfers have benefited from the use of laser range finders, and while there is no doubt about their effectiveness in getting better results in measurements of distances. More golfers are now discovering that GPS technology can take their game to a whole new level. The overwhelming majority of golfers are around an 18 handicap. That means that they score around the 100 mark. If you have the physical ability to improve your golf game, it does make a great deal of sense to use this golf aid to help you become more consistent.

All golfers will tell you that confidence is critical. The challenge comes into play when they get to the golf course and really have no idea on how far their golf shots need to travel, or what happens to the golf ball when it lands. By using a range finder it can give you that confidence of being on the golf course knowing where to place your golf ball at different positions on each hole. This is course management, and it’s the difference between winning and losing on the P.G.A. tour. If you have the confidence that you can make a golf shot to a predetermined distance, then it will make a huge difference in your golf scores.

For the more established player who participates in amateur events. A range finder is even a greater purchase for you. These players have the ability to make their golf shots by knowing exact distances or contours of a green. For them, practice is taking place while they are playing. That is an entirely different game plan. In these cases,this is truly designed as a self improvement aid.

The biggest difference between them and higher handicap golfers is that they have the confidence to make their golf shot, and knowing the exact distances will only assist in making it an even better golf shot. It is a huge advantage of knowing exact distances and where pin placements are located. If you have never played on a particular golf course before, you now have the ability too see where potential trouble is located and make the proper decision.

You already know that you can’t use it in a golf tournament, and so even during your competitive rounds with your friends they are just practice rounds for you. If your membership club allows them during regular play then by all means use the range finder to your benefit.

Today it’s much easier as most of the grunt work can be done using the latest technology. There are many manufacturers that offers top quality golf range finders on the market today, and they all have some great information available. Depending on the manufacturer each one works a little bit different.

Most of them you can download any golf course both in the United States and Globally and be able to store this information on any hard drive. Some golf GPS programs are so advanced that they can track multiple targets for a single pin all at once, or even display the precise shape of the green as seen from your current angle of approach. Golf is largely a game of knowledge. Just as one needs correct knowledge of golf swing mechanics, you also need knowledge of golf course geography and distances. The more accurate the better.

If you play at different golf courses, having this insiders information about that particular golf course is terrific. How can it not help you by knowing the distances to a hazard or to the green. If your are not capable of performing that particular golf shot facing you.Then knowing by using this golfing aid, can only help you to make the most accurate course management decisions, of where to put yourself into the next best possible positions.

A range finder is one of the best training aids that is available in the marketplace today. The challenge is how do you get the most from it? Go take advantage of it right now for your own benefit to help improve your golf game. You will see the difference in your confidence and improvement in your golf mindset that is so critical in golf. By utilizing the knowledge that you can gain by using this as a training aid, it not only will help you to play better golf, but win more consistently.
