How to qualify for a big golf tournament?

I am trying to qualify for a huge golf tournament over the weekend, or at least it is big too me. I have practiced and my game is good but i just need help controlling the mental aspect. If i have a bad hole, how to put it behind me etc. Any help would be appreciated!!

its just something that you get over over time. two years ago i can remember slamming clubs after a bad hole and just last year my driver finally broke from the abuse. this year though ive learned to just let it go and not worry about a bad hole. one because theres still a lot of golf to be played in the round and you can make up for the bad hole and, two because theres really nothing on the line unless youre maybe trying out for something. there is no money in youth golf. just enjoy the game

Golf scramble format, rotating ball if used subtracts a stroke?

Posted in golf scramble  by admin

I’m looking for the name, or exact rules for a Scramble format in which each team is given a colored ball. That ball is rotated between players after each shot, and if the colored ball lie is used each time, the team can subtract a stroke. So it has to be the shot chosen to play from each time someone hits it. It was fun when I played it once, as there may be a better ball out there, but you try the colored ball with the hopes of subtracting that stroke. Anyone heard of this format, or know what it’s called?

In the NorthEast it’s called Razz Ball. I’ve played it differently than you have. In our format the ball rotates to a different player in the foursome for every hole. That player plays only that ball on his razz ball holes and the team that plays the razz ball for the most holes wins whatever prize was established for razz ball. It’s almost always lost during the round but we actually shot a team 77 on razz ball. That’s a rarity. Razz ball is normally a tournament within the main tournament.

I need some ideas for a prize at a casual Golf Outing for Most and Fewest Putts?

We normally do a ball return for the most putts but want something new. Thanks!!

Hello there,

A lot depends nn your budget. One outing I played in for years gave away a hacked up golf ball mounted on a pedestal as the trophy for the worst putting. They also bought a small regular trophy for the fewest putts.

If your budget permits such, giving away a nice putter to the fewest putts would be novel. Then to the most putts give that person a gift certificate for a putting lesson.

Good luck and hope your outing is a success

Why is it called cheating?

Cheating is when you look over someone’s shoulder for a test answer, or when you take too many mulligans on the golf course. Infidelity isn’t such a bad thing. who says monogamy is the best way to go anyway?

My guess is that you have never been cheated on. I think that Monogamy is the best way to go. You can not have your cake and eat it 2. A relationship is based on love and trust and when you cheat the trust gores right out the window fallowed by love.

My question is should I have taken my mulligan?

you dam hookers, learn to slice the dam ball while your in prison, insert joke here, it wont be mulligan your taking i believe they call him bubba, no really, i believe you are intitled to replay the stroke – 19-3/1 Ball Accidentally Strikes Opponent Standing, ruling, There is no penalty and the player is entitled to replay the stroke — Rule 19-3. but thats just a rule, what you need is a dam good lawyer, blame it on carl the grounds keeper, and never speak of that day ever again, grip it and rip it

A golf ball rolls up a hill toward a minature-golf hole. Assume that the direction toward the hole is positive?

A. If the golf ball starts with a speed of 2.0 m/s and slows at a constant rate of 0.50 m/s squared, what is its velocity after 2.0 s?
B. What is the golf ball’s veloicty if the constant acceleration continues for 6.0 s?
C. Describe the motion of the golf ball in words and with a motion diagram.

a) If the acceleration of the center of mass is -0.5 m/s/s then after 2s the ball decelerated 1m/s and thus the velocity of the center of mass is 1 m/s

b) After 6 seconds, the change in velocity is 3 m/s and thus the speed is -1 m/s which means that the ball now is moving backwards from its original motion.

If Tiger Woods is considered the world’s greatest athlete, then how come golf is not an Olympic event?

But badminton is?

Simple. Tiger Woods isn’t the world’s greatest athlete. Not by a long shot.

Any of these Olympians are better than him.

Should I bring my kids to a PGA golf tournament?

Posted in golf etiquette  by admin
March 10th, 2010

I’m new to golf and will be going to my first tournament and would like to bring my 2 & 4 years old with me to watch. I know golf is much into etiquette, so is it appropiate to bring kids that young along?

No, you shouldn’t. For one, they’ll be bored. They’ll have no idea what’s going on anyway. Even if the 4 year old likes golf, he won’t like being there. Also, it’s probably not allowed. I forget what major I was looking into (either the Masters or PGA Championship), but they don’t allow young children. They pretty much leave it up to the parents as to what age is acceptable, but if I remember right recommend 7 or older as a starting point. It still depends on the kid though. I’m sure you’d be forced to leave either way if they found your kids to be disruptive.

What are 3 physical properties that make a golf ball diffrent from a table tennis ball?

Could someone please help me with this question..?

What are 3 physical properties that make a golf ball diffrent from a table tennis ball?

The weight (or mass) of the golf ball is much greater than that of the ping-pong ball.

A ping pong ball is a hollow object, which behaves quite differently from a solid object.

The surface of a golf ball is not a smooth surface, but has regular part-spherical depressions

The elastic properties of golf balls and ping pong balls is very different.The force that is usually applied to a golf ball would completely crush a ping pong ball.

hey everyone,
last year my 24 year old friend went missing while spear fishing off the big island of hawaii. the sad thing is that at the time his son was 10 days old, and his wife became a widow at 24. a group of his friends and i would like to plan a charity golf tournament in the san fran bay area (his hometown), but have no idea where to start. Any advice would be welcome, we are trying to raise money for his son for college and for his wife to live off of while she takes care of the toddler.
Thank you!

Talk to a Tournament Director at any reputable golf course. That’s what they do and they would glad to assist you in the selection in the type of tournament that would be best suited for your purpose.
