Equipment The “Rules of Golf” supply extensive detail on the specifications allowed when manufacturing a golf club. As with most of the rules these ones are geared towards tournament players. Recreational golfers should be allowed to use whichever clubs they wish to use. If a club that is illegal in a tournament will give an extra few yards to an average golfer it can dramatically increase the pace at which that golfer plays. Hitting the ball farther not only makes it quicker to get from tee to…

best golf ball...the Titleist Pro V1. This high-priced luxury ball soars through the air alone, but out of nowhere the inexpensive Callaway Warbird cuts through the air, trying to squeeze the last bit of distance it has in it. This is not a race, but a simple challenge to get the most distance between the Pro V1 and the Warbird. To get the gold you must have the aerodynamics, less drag, more velocity, a high-energy core, a firm ionomercover and, lastly, the distance. We hope to find which ball…

Disc golf is a sport I knew very little about and through participating in it I have learned to enjoy a new pass time. It had never occurred to me to try this particular activity before.
