I have been thinking about trying out for the golf team at my school this fall and i would like to see what other peoples opinions were. My average score for nine holes is about a 52.

Answer by Jeepers
It never hurts to try, it really depends on how big your school is. You may be able to make the team, but if you have a big school you may have a harder time. Either way, you’re doing the right thing, continue to practice and keep trying. Perhaps even if you don’t make the team, the coach would allow you to practice with the team.

Keep up the hard work, you’ll get there!

I was looking at my golf shoes the other night and noticed that a lot of the spikes towards the toes of my shoes were broken off. I have the Softspikes Pulsar Fast twist spikes currently in my shoes. If the front spikes break, should I replace all the spikes or just rotate the ones from the back to the front and continue that process? How often are new spikes recommended?

Best answer:

Answer by Ismail B
You should replace the spikes every 10-15 rounds.

The world economy begin to decline, maybe a economic crisis will break out. Under this back ground, the industry of golf in USA will be affacted?

Best answer:

Answer by Jeff M
In the early stages of an economic recession, golf club manufacturers may introduce fewer new clubs or brands as purchases of top-of-the-line equipment begin to fall off. Typically this time of year manufacturers will start lowering the prices on current-year models (2008) clubs in an effort to boost Q3 sales. This may actually lead to an increase in sales for discount or closeout shops, like Rock Bottom Golf [ http://rockbottomgolf.com ].

As for golf courses, they may actually see an increase in business. It has been shown that as the economy starts to sag, consumers cancel vacations and travel plans, opting instead for leisure activities closer to home. Local golf courses and driving ranges are often a first choice for these consumers.

One exception to this may be high-end country clubs. Consumers often cut such big-ticket luxury expenses quickly before making smaller, lifestyle-changing modifications to their budget.

If the economy continues to decline, then the general recession will begin to affect these other areas of the golf industry.

I have searched the internet and every methot to do this requires that you take the old grip off of your club and measure. Since i will be purchasing a set of grips and installation kit online from amazon, I don’t want a period of 2weeks without grips on my clubs. I dont want a professional to replace them for me for obvious price reasons. Lastly and most unfortunately the golf club maker of my set doesn’t reveal this information on their website and the only contact with them is by mail [slow]. Thanks for any advice.

I use Tommy Armour Morph Irons(rifle 5.0 shaft R flex),
Adams Golf 460D (Nv regular flex),
Adams Golf ovation 4 wood (stiff flex)

these are the clubs that i wanted to re-grip.
Thanks for any advice.
P.S. lets say for instance that my golf clubs have a .620 core size and i buy the .600 then im out 80 bucks. this is why i want to know.

A friend says one of his league partners told him that it was against the rules of golf to remove the pin if the ball is (or is about to be) struck from the fringe/apron. In other words, he says that the pin must be left in the hole until the ball comes to rest unless the ball’s movement starts on the putting surface. Any truth? I can’t find anything about it so please cite USGA golf rules if possible. Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Pooka
No, the pin is a marker for the hole from a distance. Common courtesy actually dictates that you can stand near the pin for a partner’s short chip/putt, and then if the ball looks like it’s going in, pull the pin and step away. This isn’t normally done, but you can do it. Of course, you risk getting hit by really bad shots.

I’ve recieved a couple good answers as to how to make an ordinary electric golf cart go faster. A couple people have mentioned removing or disabling the limiter/regulator. Where is it exactly on a golf cart and how specifically do I disable or remove it?

I’ve been to the driving range some, but I’ve always used the club’s unknown drivers – and I really know nothing about buying my own golf clubs. Can someone give me a dumbed-down explanation about what kind of irons/wedges/whatever I need in my starter set?

Best answer:

Answer by Michael T
You can go and be fitted for a set of clubs but the best thing to do if you are a novice is to just buy a basic set of clubs to get started with. These are relatively inexpensive and will help you with learning your swing and how far you hit each club. I would not pay over $ 500 for a complete set of clubs if you are just beginning.
Once you learn how to play better then I would suggest going to a golf professional or a store where you can hit different irons and woods and be fitted to a set of clubs properly. Make sure that there is a PGA or USGA trained professional there to show you your swing tendancies and show you why a certain club is best for you.
Don’t be surprised if the clubs they choose are not the top of the line most expensive clubs either. Most of these clubs are for golfers with low handicaps and higher swing speeds.
