Can cement tiles be broken with a flying golf ball?

Lilaac asked:


I am in escrow on a home next to a 2 hole long range Private golf course, and the Flag pole for the hole is about 35 feet away from my kitchen.
What speed do the golf balls fly ? Could fast landing balls be the reason that more than a few of the cement tiles on the roof are cracking and breaking ?
Any other things I should be concerned about living so close??
I want to spend time outside in my yard which is even closer with my little dog.

My boyfriend’s birthday is coming up and he loves to play golf so I was thinking of getting him golfing gear. I know he wants new golfing shoes and he said something about the footjoy reelfit ones, but I found some other ones. What do you think? Thanks for your help!

Slim asked:


I’m a tall guy (6′4″), and I’ve tried to play golf a few times, but using borrowed clubs, and they’ve always been too short for me, I have to use a very uncomfortable stance and can’t hit the ball for sh*t, I’ve been told I need longer clubs, but I don’t know anything really about finding the right kind or length.

Are you supposed to make contact with the golf ball on the descent of your swing?

Steve asked:


Ive been playing golf for about 5 years and just read this. I always thought with irons you hit more on the upward part of your swing. Also, should I be lifting divots when I’m hitting with my irons on the fairway? Thanks!
