Karth asked:


I’m looking to buy my first set of golf clubs tomorrow. I don’t want to spend an incredible amount, but I also don’t want the clubs to break when i try to hit the ball and accidently swipe the grass. Any tips on what I should be looking for when I go to Sports Authority or Dick’s Sporting Goods tomorrow and try holding some clubs and irons in my hand?

PS: I plan on playing at least once a week.

TheSafetyDude1079 asked:


My wife and I are addicted to golf. What kind of activities can we do when we are not on the golf course or driving range to get our daily (sometimes hourly) fix?

Do you recommend any type of video game or activity?
We live in an appartment complex. Not much of a yard.

Some great ideas so far, though. Thanks!

Golf Clubs?

I play golf for my school and have a 4 year old set which I got at Dick’s for $200. The clubs are short for me (about 1.5-2 inches to short). I definitely need new clubs and was wondering about getting the Cobra L4V driver and the Cobra S9 irons. Are they any good? Also what type of shaft should I get? Stiff, X-stiff? I am like a 25 handicapper.
Also, do you recommend any other clubs?

Mike C asked:


Does anyone know a website that tells you what the best selling golf clubs of 2008 were? I believe in drivers it was the TM burner but my pal says the callaway FT-i. We both disagree on irons and woods as well. Anyone know a site for this information?

What golf clubs to buy for a 14 year old boy?

DJ asked:


It seems there arent many golf clubs for that age group. Ladies golf clubs would be a fine fit, but this is for a boy. Is it best just to buy a regular set and instruct him to grip it quite low?

AirDevil asked:


I have been playing a lot of golf this year (multiple rounds per week) and continue to struggle. I cannot seem to get any consistency in my shots even though I’m taking lessons. What I would like is to know how (what steps, training program, etc.) you took to improve your game?

I would like to ask that 20 handicaps or better only answer this questions.

Thanks

Don asked:


My friend recently told me he worked at a golf course last summer and earned about $500 a week mainly through tips. The neighborhood his golf course is in is a rather upscale neighborhood so im sure that had something to do with it. If anyone here has worked as a cartboy what was your weekly earnings on average including tips? thank you

Jo asked:


I have an expensive set of golf clubs & wish to minimize any damage or loss when I fly with them. As you can imagine, I have heard many horror stories over the years. How is this best achieved? Can I get insurance?
