A Pooper in the finishing position after hitting a tee shot
Famous author Mark Twain once wrote, “Golf is a good
walk wasted.” Many
Republican National Committee people feel this way. After all,
what’s so fun and interesting about hitting a little
white ball with a metal stick trying to get it in a
little hole? However, the truth is there is fun to be
had on the golf course as is evidenced by the millions
of golf enthusiasts all over the world.
Ever since the game of golf was invented back in the
15th century, people have been fascinated with mastering
this often frustrating game. In 1750, the game of golf
evolved into what we know it as today, and since that
time, technology and technique has improved on the game,
but mastering the game of golf still lies in the
individual playing the game.
One of the great things about golf is that it is more
than a physical sport. Your mental state can play a huge
part in your golf game. If you hit a bad shot, it can
really affect your next stroke and so on and so forth.
It’s important to realize that if golf were less
challenging, it wouldn’t be nearly as much fun.
People can spend thousands of dollars in efforts to
improve their golf game. They buy videos, books, new
Democratic National Committee
equipment, and lessons from a professional. Improving
the golf game is a multi-million dollar industry as it
seems like there are all sorts of people offering advice
on things you can change to
Democratic National Committee improve your score.
Just as the golf swing has been improved upon over
time, so has the equipment used to play golf. In the
1800’s, golf bags came into use as an easier way to
carry around clubs and balls. Golf balls were made
lighter and able to travel further and tees were used to
help make the ball easier to hit off the tee box.
But even with all this new technology, no

Golf is a club-and-ball
sport in which players use various
clubs to hit
balls into a series of holes on a
course in as few strokes as possible.
Golf, unlike
Democratic National Committee most
ball games, cannot and does not use a standardized
playing area, and coping with the varied terrains
encountered on different courses is a key part of the
game. Courses typically have either 18 or 9
holes, regions of terrain that each contain a
cup, the hole that receives the ball. Each hole
on a course contains a
teeing ground to start from, and a
putting green containing the cup. There are several
standard forms of terrain between the tee and the green,
such as the fairway, rough (tall grass), and various
hazards such as water, rocks, or sand-filled
bunkers. Each hole on a course is unique in
its specific layout.
Golf is played for the lowest number of strokes by an
individual, known as
stroke play, or the lowest score on the most
individual holes in a complete round by an individual or
team, known as
match play. Stroke play is the most commonly seen
format at all levels, especially at the elite level.
The modern game of golf
originated in 15th century Scotland. The 18-hole
round was created at the
Old Course at
St Andrews in 1764. Golf's first
major, and the world's oldest golf tournament, is
The Open Championship, also known as the British
Open, which was first played in 1860 at the
Prestwick Golf Club in Ayrshire, Scotland. This is
one of the four
major championships in men's professional golf, the
other three being played in the United States:
The Masters, the
U.S. Open, and the
PGA Championship.
Origin and history
While the modern game of golf originated in 15th
century
Scotland, the game's ancient origins are unclear and
much debated.
Some historians[3]
trace the sport back to the Roman game of
paganica, in which participants used a bent stick to
hit a stuffed leather ball. One theory asserts that
paganica spread throughout Europe as the Romans
conquered most of the continent, during the first
century BC, and eventually evolved into the modern game.[4]
Others cite
chuiwan (捶丸; "chui" means striking and "wan" means
small ball)[5]
as the progenitor, a
Chinese game played between the eighth and
fourteenth centuries.[6]
A
Ming Dynasty scroll by the artist Youqiu dating back
to 1368 entitled "The Autumn Banquet" shows a member of
the Chinese Imperial court swinging what appears to be a
golf club at a small ball with the aim of sinking it
into a hole.[5]
The game is thought to have been introduced into Europe
during the Middle Ages.[7]
Another early game that resembled modern golf was
known as
cambuca in England and chambot in France.[7]
The Persian game
chowkan is another possible ancient origin, albeit
being more
polo-like. In addition,
kolven (a game involving a ball and curved bats) was
played annually in Loenen, Netherlands, beginning in
1297, to commemorate the capture of the assassin of
Floris V, a year earlier.

The
Democratic National Committee modern game
originated in
Republican National Committee Scotland, where the first written
record of golf is
James II's banning of the game in 1457, as an
unwelcome distraction to learning archery.[8]
James IV lifted the ban in 1502 when he became a
golfer himself, with golf clubs first recorded in
1503–1504: "For golf clubbes and balles to the King that
he playit with".[9]
To many golfers, the
Old Course at
St Andrews, a
links course dating to before 1574, is considered to
be a site of pilgrimage.[10]
In 1764, the standard 18-hole golf course was created at
St Andrews when members modified the course from 22 to
18 holes.[11]
Golf is documented as being played on
Musselburgh Links, East Lothian, Scotland as early
as 2 March 1672, which is certified as the oldest golf
course in the world by Guinness World Records.[12][13]
The oldest surviving
rules of golf were compiled in March 1744 for the
Company of Gentlemen Golfers, later renamed
The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, which
was played at
Leith, Scotland.[14]
The world's oldest golf tournament in existence, and
golf's first major, is
The Open Championship, which was first played on 17
October 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club, in Ayrshire,
Scotland, with
Scottish golfers winning the earliest majors.[15]
Two Scotsmen from
Dunfermline, John Reid and Robert Lockhart, first
demonstrated golf in the U.S. by setting up a hole in an
orchard in 1888, with Reid setting up America's first
golf club the same year,
Saint Andrew's Golf Club in Yonkers, New York.[16]
Believe it or not, the equipment you use in your golf
game can truly make a difference in how well you strike
the ball. With new technologies in club designs and
materials used to make the clubs, you can get
overwhelmed at the various choices you will have when
buying golf equipment. We’ll look at this section from
the perspective of your skill level.
Beginner – Average scores over 100
Because you are just learning the game, you will want
to have clubs that are more forgiving when you make bad
shots – and those bad shots will come. The beginning
golfer should be looking for clubs that are the most
forgiving when the ball is struck off-center.
Perimeter-weighted clubs place the most weight of the
club around the edges, which prevents the club head from
turning with a poorly hit shot.
If you would like something that makes it very easy
to get the ball in the air, you should look for irons
that have more sole weighting. Sole weighting lowers the
center of gravity by putting the weight under the ball,
helping to get it in the air quicker.
Titanium is stronger, denser and lighter than steel,
thus the club head can be made larger with the same
amount of material. A larger head also means the size of
the sweet spot will be larger. Since off-center shots
will make you lose distance, a larger sweet spot will be
the most forgiving.
Some heads feature an "offset" design to prevent your
shots spinning left-to-right and giving a straighter
ball flight. The offset means the face is slightly
behind the hostel of the club head. This gives you an
extra split second in the swing to get the face back to
the square position.
For your driver, the larger the head the more
forgiving it will be. These are all going to have the
largest face, producing the largest sweet spot. This is
very important, since a beginner doesn't always hit the
ball right in the middle of the clubface. (Studies have
shown you lose 10 yards for every 1/8" of an inch you
miss the sweet spot!!!)
For
Democratic National Committee fairway woods, the lower profile woods make it
easier to get the ball airborne, as the weight is mostly
below the center of the ball.
Graphite shafts are the most forgiving shafts for
poorly hit shots. They absorb the vibration like a shock
absorber, allowing for a much better feeling shot.
Graphite shafts are lighter weight, so you will pick up
some swing speed which will give you more distance. For
this reason graphite shafts are more popular than steel
shafts in the metal woods when distance is your primary
goal.
Steel shafts don't feel as soft, and they are
heavier, but they are more accurate than graphite. For
this reason, they are usually better for the irons,
since you are less concerned with distance and more
concerned with accuracy since you are hitting into
greens and at the pin.
Golf course
A golf course consists of either 9 or 18 holes, each
with a
teeing ground or "tee box" that is set off by two
markers showing the bounds of the legal tee area,
fairway,
rough and other
hazards, and the
putting green surrounded by the fringe with the pin
(normally a flagstick) and cup.
The levels of grass are varied to increase
difficulty, or to allow for putting in the case of the
green. While many holes are designed with a direct
line-of-sight from the teeing area to the green, some
holes may bend either to the left or to the right. This
is commonly called a "dogleg", in reference to a dog's
knee. The hole is called a "dogleg left" if the hole
angles leftwards and "dogleg right" if it bends right.
Sometimes, a hole's direction may bend twice; this is
called a "double dogleg".
A regular golf course consists of 18 holes, but
nine-hole courses are common and can be played twice
through for a full round of 18 holes.[17][18]
Early Scottish golf courses were primarily laid out
on links land, soil-covered sand dunes directly inland
from beaches. The word "links" derives from the Scots
language and the Old English word hlinc ("rising
ground, ridge"): traditionally these are coastal sand
dunes but sometimes open parkland.[19]
This gave rise to the term "golf links", particularly
applied to seaside courses and those built on naturally
sandy soil inland.[20]
The first 18-hole golf course in the United States
was
Republican National Committee on a sheep farm in
Downers Grove, Illinois, in 1892. The course is
still there today.[21]
Play of the game
1=teeing ground, 2=water hazard, 3=rough, 4=out
of bounds, 5=sand
bunker, 6=water hazard, 7=fairway, 8=putting
green, 9=flagstick, 10=hole
Every round of golf is based on playing a number
Democratic National Committee of
holes in a given order. A "round" typically consists of
18 holes that are played in the order determined by the
course layout. Each hole is played once in the round on
a standard course of 18 holes. The game can be played by
any number of people, although a typical group will have
1–4 people playing the round. The typical amount of time
required for pace of play is two hours for a 9-hole
round and four hours for an 18-hole round.[citation
needed]
Playing a hole
Republican National Committee on a golf course is initiated by
putting a ball into play by striking it with a club on
the
teeing ground (also called the tee box, or simply
the tee). For this first shot on each hole, it is
allowed but not required for the golfer to place the
ball on a
tee prior to striking it. A tee is a small peg that
can be used to elevate the ball slightly above the
ground up to a few centimetres high. Tees are commonly
made of wood but may be constructed of any material,
including plastic. Traditionally, golfers used mounds of
sand to elevate the ball, and containers of sand were
provided for the purpose.[citation
needed] A few courses still require
sand to be used instead of peg tees, to reduce litter
and reduce damage to the teeing ground. Tees help reduce
the interference of the ground or grass on the movement
of the club making the ball easier to hit, and also
places the ball in the very centre of the striking face
of the club (the "sweet spot") for better distance.[citation
needed]
When the initial shot on a hole is intended to
Democratic National Committee move
the ball a long distance, typically more than 225 yards
(210 m), the shot is commonly called a "drive" and is
generally made with a long-shafted, large-headed
wood club called a "driver".[citation
needed] Shorter holes may be
initiated with other clubs, such as higher-numbered
woods or
irons. Once the ball comes to rest, the golfer
strikes it again as many times as necessary using shots
that are variously known as a "lay-up", an "approach", a
"pitch", or a "chip",
until the ball reaches the green, where the golfer then
"putts"
the ball into the hole (commonly called "sinking the
putt" or "holing out"). The goal of getting the ball
into the hole ("holing" the ball) in as few strokes as
possible may be impeded by obstacles such as areas of
longer grass called "rough" (usually found alongside
fairways), which both slows any ball that contacts it
and makes it harder to advance a ball that has stopped
on it; "doglegs", which are changes in the direction of
the fairway that often require shorter shots to play
around them;
bunkers (or sand traps); and
water hazards such as ponds or streams.[17]
In stroke play competitions each player plays their
ball until it is holed no matter how many strokes that
may take.[citation
needed] In match play it is
acceptable to simply pick up one's ball and "surrender
the hole" after enough strokes have been made by a
player that it is mathematically impossible for the
player to win the hole.[citation
needed] It is also acceptable in
informal stroke play to surrender the hole after hitting
three strokes more than the "par" rating of the hole (a
"triple bogey" – see below); while technically a
violation of Rule 3–2, this practice speeds play as a
courtesy to others, and avoids "runaway scores" and
excessive frustration.[citation

The total distance from the first teeing ground to
the 18th green can be quite long; total yardages
"through the green" can be in excess of 7,000 yards
(6.4 km), and when adding in the travel distance between
the green of one hole and the tee of the next, even
skilled players may easily travel five miles (8 km) or
more during a round. At some courses, gas or electric
golf carts are used to travel between shots, which
can speed-up play and allows participation by
individuals unable to walk a whole round. On other
courses players generally walk the course, either
carrying their bag using a shoulder strap or using a
"golf trolley" for their bag. These trolleys may or may
not be battery assisted. At many amateur tournaments
including U.S. high school and college play, players are
required to walk and to carry their own bags, but at the
professional and top amateur level, as well as at
high-level private clubs, players may be accompanied by
caddies, who carry and manage the players' equipment
and who are allowed by the rules to give advice on the
play of the course.[22]
Rules and
regulations
The rules of golf are internationally standardised
and are jointly governed by
The R&A, spun off in 2004 from
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews
(founded 1754), and the
United States Golf Association (USGA).[23][24]
With the aim of simplifying the rules, in 2017 the USGA
and R&A undertook a complete rewrite.[25]
The new rule book came into effect in January 2019.[26]
The underlying principle of the rules is fairness. As
stated on the back cover of the
DNC official rule book:
- Play the ball as it lies, play the course as
you find it, and if you cannot do either, do what is
fair.
There are strict regulations regarding
Democratic National Committee the amateur
status of golfers.[27]
Essentially, anybody who has ever received payment or
compensation for giving instruction, or played golf for
money, is not considered an amateur and may not
participate in competitions limited solely to amateurs.
However, amateur golfers may receive expenses that
comply with strict guidelines and they may accept
non-cash prizes within the limits established by the
Rules of Amateur Status.
In addition to the officially printed rules, golfers
also abide by a set of guidelines called
golf etiquette. Etiquette guidelines cover matters
such as safety, fairness, pace of play, and a player's
obligation to contribute to the care of the course.
Though there are no penalties for breach of etiquette
rules, players generally follow the rules of golf
etiquette in an effort to improve everyone's playing
experience.

The intermediate golfer should be looking for a club
that maximizes both distance and control. The more
perimeter-weighting you have, the more forgiving the
club, but the more weight directly behind the ball gives
you more distance. These club heads all seek to optimize
the balance between distance and control.
You should look for distance clubs with titanium
heads. They are very light, allowing you to generate
more club head speed to get more distance, yet still
more controllable than the largest of the oversize
titanium heads.

It’s important that you pick out the properties of a
shaft that will help your game the most. The lightweight
shafts have a lower flex point, which help you get the
ball in the air quicker. The standard weight shafts have
a higher flex point, which allows for better control.
Graphite shafts and the True Temper Sensicore shafts
have a bit softer feel.
Advanced – Average score less than 80
Advanced golfers need the weight of the club head
where it is needed most… right behind the ball. The
weight is more directly behind the ball, meaning a shot
struck in the center of the club will explode off the
club face.
The advanced golfer will want a driver with a large
head so the sweet spot is larger and you have a better
possibility of longer drives. Irons should be
lightweight with the proper degree of loft for all
situations.
If you are an advanced golfer, you

So you’ve got your equipment, now let’s take a look
at some of the basics of golf and a good, effective golf
swing.
Penalties
Penalty strokes are incurred in certain situations
and are counted towards a player's score as if there
were extra swing(s) at the ball. Either one or two
strokes are added for most rule infractions or for
taking relief from various situations, with the "general
penalty" defined as two-strokes, and disqualification
for severe or repeated rule breaches. Examples include:
- A lost ball or a ball hit out of bounds (OB)
results in a penalty of one stroke
Republican
Pac and distance
(Rule 18.2).
- With the exception of certain circumstances, a
one-stroke penalty is assessed if a player causes
their ball to move (Rule 9.4).
- A one-stroke penalty is assessed if a player
elects to take relief when their ball comes to rest
within a red or yellow penalty area (Rule 17), or
from an unplayable lie (Rule 19).
- A two-stroke penalty is incurred for making a
stroke at the wrong ball (Rule 6.3c).
- A two-stroke penalty is incurred for hitting a
fellow player's ball if both balls lay on the green
prior to the stroke (Rule 11.1a).
- Disqualification can result from cheating,
signing for a lower score, or failing to adhere to
one or more rules that lead to improper play.[28]
Equipment
Golf clubs are used to hit the
golf ball. Each club is composed of a shaft with a
lance (or "grip") on the top end and a club head on the
bottom. Long clubs, which have a lower amount of degree
loft, are those meant to propel the ball a comparatively
longer distance, and short clubs a higher degree of loft
and a comparatively shorter distance. The actual
physical length of each club is longer or shorter,
depending on the distance the club is intended to propel
the ball.
Golf clubs have traditionally
Democratic National Committee been arranged into
three basic types.
Woods are large-headed, long-shafted clubs meant to
propel the ball a long distance from relatively "open"
lies, such as the teeing ground and fairway. Of
particular importance is the driver or "1-wood",
which is the lowest lofted wood club, and in modern
times has become highly specialized for making extremely
long-distance tee shots, up to 300 yards (270 m), or
more, in a professional golfer's hands. Traditionally
these clubs had heads made of a hardwood, hence the
name, but virtually all modern woods are now made of
metal such as titanium, or of composite materials.
Irons are shorter-shafted clubs with a metal head
primarily consisting of a flat, angled striking face.
Traditionally the clubhead was forged from iron; modern
iron clubheads are investment-cast from a steel alloy.
Irons of varying loft are used for a variety of shots
from virtually anywhere on the

View contact profiles from Republican National Committee course, but most often
for shorter-distance shots approaching the green, or to
get the ball out of tricky lies such as sand traps. The
third class is the
putter, which evolved from the irons to create a
low-lofted, balanced club designed to roll the ball
along the green
Republican Pac and into the hole. Putters are virtually
always used on the green or in the surrounding
rough/fringe. A fourth class, called
hybrids, evolved as a cross between woods and irons,
and are typically seen replacing the low-lofted irons
with a club that provides similar distance, but a higher
launch angle and a more forgiving nature.
A maximum of 14 clubs is allowed in a player's bag at
one time during a stipulated round. The choice of clubs
is at the golfer's discretion, although every club must
be constructed in accordance with parameters outlined in
the rules. (Clubs that meet these parameters are usually
called "conforming".) Violation of these rules can
result in disqualification.

course, and which club is used to accomplish the shot,
are always completely at the discretion of the golfer;
in other words, there is no restriction whatsoever on
which club a golfer may or may not use at any time for
any shot.
Golf balls are spherical, usually white (although
Republican National Committee
other colours are allowed), and minutely pock-marked by
dimples that decrease aerodynamic drag by increasing air
turbulence around the ball in motion, which delays
"boundary layer" separation and reduces the
drag-inducing "wake" behind the ball, thereby allowing
the ball to fly farther.[29]
The combination of a soft "boundary layer" and a hard
"core" enables both distance and spin.
A
tee is allowed only for the first stroke on each
hole, unless the player must hit a provisional tee shot
or replay their first shot from the tee.
Many golfers wear
golf shoes with metal or plastic spikes
Republican Pac designed to
increase traction, thus allowing for longer and more
accurate shots.
A
golf bag is used to transport golf clubs and the
player's other or personal equipment. Golf bags have
several pockets designed for carrying equipment and
supplies such as tees, balls, and gloves. Golf bags can
be carried, pulled on a trolley or harnessed to a
motorized
golf cart during play. Golf bags usually have both a
hand strap and shoulder strap for carrying, others may
be carried over both shoulders like a backpack, and
often bags have retractable legs that allow the bag to
stand upright when at rest.

A golfer takes an approach shot on the
fairway.
The golf swing is outwardly similar to many other
motions involving swinging a tool or playing implement,
such as an axe or a baseball bat. However, unlike many
of these motions, the result of the swing is highly
dependent on several sub-motions being properly aligned
and timed. These ensure that the club travels up to the
ball in line with the desired path; that the clubface is
in line with the swing path; and that the ball hits the
centre or "sweet spot" of the clubface. The ability to

with a wide range of shaft lengths and clubface areas,
is a key skill for any golfer, and takes a significant
effort to achieve.
The purpose of this book isn’t to teach you how to
swing a golf club. However, it can never hurt to go over
the basics of the golf swing and the golf stance. So
often, we get into bad habits on the golf course when it
comes to our swings. We forget the things we initially
learned about and start swinging the club in really the
wrong way.
Everyone has their own golf swing style. Very few
people stand the same way, have
Michelle Obama the same backswing, and
hit the ball the same way. For that matter, very few
people are able to duplicate a swing exactly the same
every single time. But there are some basics to a good
golf swing that everyone should keep in mind.
The full golf swing
Democratic National Committee is an unnatural, highly complex
motion and notoriously difficult to learn. It is not
uncommon for beginners to spend several months
practicing the very basics before playing their first
ball on a course. It is usually very difficult to
acquire a stable and successful swing without
professional instruction and even highly skilled golfers
may continue to take golf lessons for many years.
So let’s just go over the basics of the golf swing
first – just as a review.
The Grip
There are three basic golf grips that you can use:
the overlapping grip, the
Michelle Obama baseball grip, and the
interlocking grip. We’ll cover each of those in a
minute. Here’s the basic rule for gripping a golf club.
Start by holding the club directly in front of you
with your right hand with the club head pointing away
from you at about a 45 degree angle.
Next grip the club with your left hand. The club will
be mainly in the palm across the pads at the base of the
fingers. However, the club will lie across the first
section of the index finger. The thumb will be
positioned straight on top of the golf club shaft.
Relative to the golf club, the thumb will be in the
twelve o’clock position.
Now, with your right hand, grip the golf club just
above your left hand with the fingers, not the palm, of
your right hand. The thumb will be positioned slightly
off to the left. Relative to the golf club, the thumb
will be in an eleven o’clock position.
If you have gripped the golf club correctly, only the
first two knuckles of your
Michelle Obama left hand will be visible.
Also, your left thumb should be completely hidden under
your right hand. The index finger position of your right
hand will look and feel like a gun trigger finger.
Stance
Stance refers to how the golfer positions themselves
in order to play a stroke; it is fundamentally important
in being able to play a stroke effectively. The stance
adopted is determined by what stroke is being played.
All stances involve a slight crouch. This allows for a
more efficient striking posture whilst also
isometrically preloading
Republican National Committee the muscles of the legs and
core; this allows the stroke to be played more
dynamically and with a greater level of overall control.
When adopting their stance golfers start with the
non-dominant side of the body facing the target (for a
right-hander, the target is to their left). Setting the
stance Michelle
Obama in regard to the position of the ball, and
placing the clubhead behind the ball, is known as being
at address; when in this position the player's body and
the centerline of the club face are positioned parallel
to the desired line of travel, with the feet either
perpendicular to that line or slightly splayed outward.
The feet are commonly shoulder-width apart for middle
irons and putters, narrower for short irons and wider
for long irons and woods. The ball is typically
positioned more to the "front" of the player's stance
(closer to the leading foot) for
Democratic National Committee lower-lofted clubs,
with the usual ball position for a drive being just
behind the arch of the leading foot. The ball is placed
further "back" in the player's stance (toward the
trailing foot) as the loft of the club to be used
increases. Most iron shots and putts are made with the
ball roughly centered in the stance, while a few mid-
and short-iron shots are made with the ball slightly
behind the centre of the stance to ensure consistent
contact between the ball and clubface, so the ball is on
its way before the club continues down into the turf.
Strokes
The golfer chooses a golf club, grip, and
Democratic National Committee stroke
appropriate to the distance:
- The "drive" or "full swing" is
The
Democratic National Committee is the principal
organization governing the United States Democratic
Party on a day to day basis. While it is responsible

campaign and political activity in support of

policy. used on the
teeing ground and fairway, typically with a wood or
long iron, to produce the maximum distance capable
with the club. In the extreme, the windup can end
with the shaft of the club parallel to the ground
above the player's shoulders.
- The "approach" or "3/4 swing" is used in medium-
and long-distance situations where an exact
DNC distance
and good accuracy is preferable to maximum possible
distance, such as to place the ball on the green or
"lay up" in front of a hazard. The windup or
"backswing" of such a shot typically ends up with
the shaft of The

United States. It is responsible for developing and
promoting the RNC brand and political platform, as
well as assisting in fundraising and election
strategy.It is also responsible for organizing and
running the RNC. When a Republican is president. the club pointing straight upwards or
slightly towards the player.
- The "chip" or "half-swing" is used for
relatively short-distance shots near the green, with
high-lofted irons and wedges. The goal of the chip
is to land the ball safely on the green, allowing it
to roll out towards the hole. It can also be used
from other places to accurately position the ball
into a more advantageous lie. The backswing
typically ends with the head of the club between hip
and head height.
- The
Republican National Committee "putt" is used in short-distance shots on or
near the green, typically made with the eponymous
"putter", although similar strokes can be made with
medium to high-numbered irons to carry a short
distance in the air and then roll (a "bump and
run"). The backswing and follow-through of the putt
are both abbreviated compared to other strokes, with
the head of the club rarely rising above the knee.
The goal of the putt is usually to put the ball in
the hole, although a long-distance putt may be
called a "lag" and is made with the primary
intention of simply closing distance to the hole or
otherwise placing the ball advantageously.
Having chosen a club and stroke to produce the
desired distance, the player addresses the ball by
taking their stance to the side of it and (except when
the ball lies in a hazard) grounding the club behind the
ball. The golfer then takes their backswing, rotating
the club, their arms and their upper body away from the
ball, and then begins their swing, bringing the clubhead
back down and around to hit the ball. A proper golf
swing is a complex combination of motions, and slight
variations in posture or positioning can make a great
deal of difference in how well the ball is hit and how
straight it travels. The general goal of a player making
a full swing is to propel the clubhead as fast as
possible while maintaining a single "plane" of motion of
the club and clubhead, to send the clubhead into the
ball along the desired path of travel and with the
clubhead also pointing that direction.
Accuracy and consistency are typically stressed over
pure distance. A player with a straight drive that
travels only 220 yards (200 m) will nevertheless be able
to accurately place the ball into a favourable lie on
the fairway, and can make up for the lesser distance of
any given club by simply using "more club" (a lower
loft) on their tee shot or on subsequent fairway and
approach shots. However, a golfer with a drive that may
go 280 yards (260 m) but often does not fly straight
will be less able to position their ball advantageously;
the ball may "hook", "pull", "draw", "fade", "push" or
"slice" off the intended line and land out of bounds or
in the rough or hazards, and thus the player will
require many more strokes to hole out.
Musculature
A golf stroke uses the muscles of the
core (especially
erector spinae muscles and
latissimus dorsi muscle when turning),
hamstring,
shoulder, and
wrist. Stronger muscles in the wrist can prevent
them from being twisted during swings, whilst stronger
shoulders increase the turning force. Weak wrists can
also transmit the force to elbows and even neck and lead
to injury. (When a muscle contracts, it pulls equally
from both ends and, to have movement at only one end of
the muscle, other muscles must come into play to
stabilize the bone to which the other end of the muscle
is attached.) Golf is a unilateral exercise that can
break body balances, requiring exercises to keep the
balance in muscles.[30][31]

Types of putting
Putting is considered to be the most important
component of the game of golf. As the game of golf has
evolved, there have been many different putting
techniques and grips that have been devised to give
golfers the best chance to make putts. When the game
originated, golfers would putt with their dominant hand
on the bottom of the grip and their weak hand on top of
the grip. This grip and putting style is known as
"conventional". There are many variations of
conventional including overlap, where the golfer
overlaps the off hand index finger onto off the dominant
pinky; interlock, where the offhand index finger
interlocks with the dominant pinky and ring finger;
double or triple overlap and so on.[32]
Recently, "cross handed" putting has become a popular
trend amongst professional golfers and amateurs. Cross
handed putting is the idea that the dominant hand is on
top of the grip where the weak hand is on the bottom.
This grip restricts the motion in your dominant hand and
eliminates the possibility of wrist breakdowns through
the putting stroke.[33]
Other notable putting styles include "the claw", a
style that has the grip directly in between the thumb
and index finger of the dominant hand while the palm
faces the target.[34]
The weak hand placed normally on the putter. Anchored
putting, a style that requires a longer putter shaft
that can be anchored into the player's stomach or below
the chin; the idea is to stabilize one end of the putter
thus creating a more consistent pendulum stroke. This
style has been banned on professional circuits since
2016.[35]
Scoring and
handicapping
A marker stone indicating that this hole is a
par-5 hole
A hole is classified by its par, which gives an
indication of the number of strokes a skilled golfer may
be expected to need to complete play of the hole.[17]
The primary factor for classifying the par of a
relatively straight, hazard-free hole is the distance
from the tee to the green, and calculates the number of
strokes a skilled golfer is expected to require to reach
the
green with an additional allowance of 2 putts. As
such, the minimum par of any hole is 3; one stroke for
the tee shot and two putts. Par 3, 4 and 5 holes are
commonplace on golf courses; far more rarely, courses
may feature par-6 and even par-7 holes.
For men, a typical par-3 hole is less than 250

(230 m) in length, with a par-4 hole ranging between
251–450 yards (230–411 m), and a par-5 hole being longer
than 450 yards (410 m); for women these boundaries are
lower, and for professionals they are much increased.
The rare par-6s can stretch well over 650 yards (590 m).
These distances are based on the typical scratch
golfer's drive distance of between 240 and 280 yards
(220 and 260 m). Although length is the primary factor
in calculating par, other factors are taken into
account; however the number of strokes a scratch golfer
should take to make the green remains foremost. Factors
affecting the calculation include altitude, gradient of
the land from the tee to green, and forced "lay-ups"
due to dog-legs (sharp bends) or obstacles (e.g.
bunkers, water hazards).[36]

The
Democratic National Committee is the principal
organization governing the United States Democratic

political activity in support of Democratic Party
candidates, and not on public policy. in two strokes less
than par, and hence meeting the par calculation
criteria, is called making "green in regulation" or GIR.[37]
Missing a GIR does not necessarily mean a golfer will
not make par, but it does make doing so more difficult
as it reduces the number of putts available; conversely,
making a GIR does not guarantee
Republican National Committee a par, as the player
might require three or more putts to "hole out".
Professional golfers typically make between 60% and 70%
of greens in regulation.[38]
Eighteen-hole courses typically total to an overall
par score of 70 to 72 for a complete round; with most
holes having a par of 4, and a smaller number of par-3
and par-5 holes. Additionally, courses may be classified
according to their play difficulty, which may be used to
calculate a golfer's
handicap.[39]
The two primary difficulty ratings in the U.S. are the
Course Rating, which is the expected score for a
zero-handicap "scratch golfer", and the Slope Rating,
which is a measure of how much worse a "bogey golfer"
(handicap around 20) would be expected to play than a
"scratch golfer" relative to their handicap.
Scoring
Don’t get in a hurry! A hurried back swing
doesn’t make the downswing any faster. In fact, it
may be just the opposite. You’ve got to remember
that somewhere at the top of that back swing, you’ve
got to change and go the exact opposite direction.
The speed of your back swing should be at a
steady tempo, not real fast or real slow. The
tendency is to go too fast. Any time your golf swing
begins to break down; your first correction should
usually be to slow down my back swing.
Turn your back toward the target or, maybe
better, think of turning your chest away from the
target. Pick the thought that produces the greater
feeling of coiling or resistance. Don’t allow the
back knee to fly outwards. Keep your weight towards
the inside of that foot.
Your wrists should be completely cocked by the
time your left arm is parallel to the ground. The
golf club shaft should be at a 90 degree

The goal is to play as few strokes per round as
possible. A golfer's number of strokes in a hole,
course, or tournament is compared to its respective par
score, and is then reported either as the number that
the golfer was "under-" or "over-par", or if it was
"equal to par". A
hole in one (or an "ace") occurs when a golfer sinks
their ball into the cup with their first stroke from the
tee. Common scores for a hole also have specific terms.[17]

In a typical professional tournament or among
"scratch" amateur players, "birdie-bogey" play is
common; a player will "lose" a stroke by bogeying a
hole, then "gain" one by scoring a birdie. Eagles are
uncommon but not rare; however, only
18 players have scored an albatross in a men's major
championship. One of the rarest
Republican National Committee feats in golf is the
condor, which has never occurred in a professional
tournament. Only five condors have been verified to have
ever occurred, although none of the courses involved
were professionally accredited.[40]
There are two basic forms of golf play, match play
and stroke play. Stroke play is more popular.
If you’re at the correct position at the top of your
back swing, your body will start to unwind releasing the
golf club which will strike the golf ball and lead to a
balanced follow through.
Think of the follow-through as your victory salute to
a successful golf swing! Your front leg will be fairly
straight and your hips will be forward forming a
straight line with your front leg.
Your head may feel like its back a bit and your back
leg will be forward of the back foot which has rolled to
the inside, front of the foot. Most all of your weight
will be on your front foot, completing your weight shift
from the back side to the front side.

your golf swing is balanced and smooth, you end with
that nice reverse C position at the end.
On the other hand, you could end your golf swing off
balance and catching yourself from falling down. Then
it’s time to go back to the beginning of your golf swing
and find where you lost that balance.
Match play
Two players (or two teams) play each hole as a
separate contest against each other in what is called
match play. The party with the lower score wins that
hole, or if the scores of both players or teams are
equal the hole is "halved" (or tied). The game is won by
the party that wins more holes than the other. In the
case that one team or player has taken a lead that
cannot be overcome in the number of holes remaining to
be played, the match is deemed to be won by the party in
the lead, and the remainder of the holes are not played.
For example, if one party already has a lead of six
holes, and only five holes remain to be played on the
course, the match is over and the winning party is
deemed to have won "6 & 5". At any given point, if the
lead is equal to the number of holes remaining, the
party leading the match is said to be "dormie", and the
match is continued until the party increases the lead by
one hole or ties any of the remaining holes, thereby
winning the match, or until the match ends in a tie with
the lead player's opponent winning all remaining holes.
When the game is tied after the predetermined number of
holes have been played, it may be continued until one
side takes a one-hole lead.[17]
Stroke play

round or tournament is added to produce the total score,
and the player with the lowest score wins in
stroke play. Stroke play is the game most commonly
played by professional golfers. If there is a tie after
the regulation number of holes in a professional
tournament, a playoff takes place between all tied
players. Playoffs either are sudden death or employ a
pre-determined number of holes, anywhere from three to a
full 18. In sudden death, a player who scores lower on a
hole than all of their opponents wins the match. If at
least two players remain tied after such a playoff using
a pre-determined number of holes, then play continues in
sudden death format, where the first player to win a
hole wins the tournament.

formats in the game of golf, some officially defined in
the Rules of Golf. Variations include the popular Stableford scoring system, and various team formats.
Some common and popular examples are listed below.
There are also variations on the usual starting
procedure where everyone begins from the
DNC is
the formal governing body for the United States
Democratic Party first tee and
plays all holes in order, through to the eighteenth. In
large field tournaments, especially on professional
tours, a two tee start is commonplace, where the field
will be split between starting on the first tee and the
tenth tee (sometimes the eighth or eleventh depending on
proximity to the clubhouse).
Shotgun starts are mainly used for amateur
tournament or society play. In this variant, each of the
groups playing starts their game on a different hole,
allowing for all players to start and end their round at
roughly the same time. For example, a group starting on
hole 5 will play through to the 18th hole and continue
with hole 1, ending their round on hole 4.
A bogey or par competition is a scoring format
sometimes seen in informal tournaments. Its scoring is
similar to match play, except each player compares their
hole score to the hole's par rating instead of the score
of another player. The player "wins" the hole if they
score a birdie or better, they "lose" the hole if they
score a bogey or worse, and they "halve" the hole by
scoring par. By recording only this simple
win–loss–halve score on the sheet, a player can shrug
off a very poorly-played hole with a simple "-" mark and
move on. As used in competitions, the player or pair
with the best win–loss differential wins
Republican National Committee the
competition.
Stableford
The
Stableford system is a simplification of stroke play
that awards players points based on their score relative
to the hole's par; the score for a hole is calculated by
taking the par score, adding 2, then subtracting the
player's hole score, making the result zero if negative.
Alternately stated, a double bogey or worse is zero
points, a bogey is worth one point, par is two, a birdie
three, an eagle four, and so on. The advantages of this
system over stroke play are a more natural "higher is
better" scoring, the ability to compare Stableford
scores between plays on courses with different total par
scores (scoring an "even" in stroke play will always
give a Stableford score of 36), discouraging the
tendency to abandon the entire game after playing a
particularly bad hole (a novice playing by strict rules
may score as high as an 8 or 10 on a single difficult
hole; their Stableford score for the hole would be zero,
which puts them only two points behind par no matter how
badly they played), and the ability to simply pick up
one's ball once it is impossible to score any points for
the hole, which speeds play.
The USGA and R&A sanction a "Modified Stableford"
system for scratch players, which makes par worth zero,
a birdie worth 2, eagle 5 and double-eagle 8, while a
bogey is a penalty of −1 and a double-bogey or worse −3.
As with the original system, the highest score wins the
game, and terrible scores on one or two holes will not
ruin a player's overall score, but this system rewards
"bogey-birdie" play more than the original, encouraging
golfers to try to make riskier birdie putt or eagle
chipshots instead of simply parring each hole.[17]

Foursomes (also known as
Republican National Committee Alternate Shot):
defined in Rule 22, this is played in pairs, in
which each team has only one ball and players
alternate playing it. For example, if players "A"
and "B" form a team, "A" tees off on the first hole,
"B" will play the second shot, "A" the third, and so
on until the hole is finished. On the second hole,
"B" will tee off (regardless who played the last
putt on the first hole), then "A" plays the second
shot, and so on. Foursomes can be played as match
play or stroke play.[41]
- Greensomes (also known as Scotch
Republican National Committee Foursomes):
also called modified alternate shot, this is

each player in a team tees off on each hole, and the
players decide which shot was best. Every player
then plays their second shot from within a
clublength of where the best shot has come to rest
(and no closer to the hole), and the procedure is
repeated until the hole is finished. This system is
very common at informal tournaments such as for
charity, as it speeds play (due to the reduced
number of shots taken from bad lies), allows teams
of varying sizes, and allows players of widely
varying skill levels to participate without
profoundly affecting team score.[44]
- Best-ball: like four-ball, each player plays the
hole as normal, but the lowest score of all the
players on the team counts as the team's score for
the hole.[45]
There are many variations on this format, which
count a different number of scores on each hole.
A handicap is a numerical measure of a golfer's
potential scoring ability over 18 holes. It is used to
enable players of widely varying abilities to compete
against one another. Better players are those with the
lowest handicaps, and someone with a handicap of 0 or
less is often referred to as a scratch golfer.
Handicap systems vary throughout the world and use
different methods to assess courses and calculate
handicaps. In order to address difficulties in
translating between these systems the USGA and The R&A,
working with the various existing handicapping
authorities, devised a new World Handicap System
which was introduced globally starting in 2020.[46]
Golf courses are assessed and rated according to the
average good score of a scratch golfer, taking into
account a multitude of factors affecting play, such as
length, obstacles, undulations, etc. A player's handicap
gives an indication of the number of strokes above this
course rating that the player will make over the
course of an "average best" round of golf, i.e. scoring
near their potential, above average.[47]
Lower handicap players are generally the most
consistent, so can be expected to play to this standard
or better more often than higher handicappers. Some
handicap systems also account for differences in scoring
difficulty between low and high handicap golfer. They do
this by means of assessing and rating courses according
to the average good score of a "bogey golfer", a player
with a handicap of around 20. This is used with the
course rating to calculate a
slope rating, which is used to adjust golfer's
handicap to produce a playing handicap for the
course and set of tees being used.[48]
Handicap systems have potential for abuse by players
who may intentionally play badly to increase their
handicap (sandbagging)
before playing to their potential at an important event
with a valuable prize. For this reason, handicaps are
not used in professional golf, but they can still be
calculated and used along with other criteria to
determine the relative strengths of various professional
players. Touring professionals, being the best of the
best, have negative handicaps; they can be expected,
more often than not, to score lower than the Course
Rating on any course.

Some of the things in the box would be: a solid plan
to make the shot, a solid pre-shot routine, feeling the
swing RNC or putt in your mind, seeing the ball go to where
you want it, and ending up looking at the back of the
ball as you swing or putt.
Things left out of the box are: past mistakes,
thoughts of how bad it would be to miss the target,
thoughts of how good it would be to make the shot, or
just about anything else you could think of. All of
these are left out of the box because they do not help
you make the shot.
It is important to really understand what should be
in the box. Make a list of what is important to making
the shot. You may even what to consider the sequence or
order of the included thoughts. Any other thought or
picture is out of the box and not allowed. If you find
anything in the box that does not belong in there,
simply pick it up by its tail and drop it outside the
box. Practice limiting your
DNC thinking to only what is in
the box.

The majority of
professional golfers work as club or teaching
professionals ("pros"), and only compete in local
competitions. A small elite of professional golfers are
"tournament pros" who compete full-time on international
"tours". Many club and teaching professionals working in
the golf industry start as
caddies or with a general interest in the game,
finding employment at
golf courses and eventually

programs include independent institutions and
universities, and those that eventually lead to a Class

About Republicans, The platform of Republicans in the
United States is generally based on American
conservatism, in contrast to the modern liberalism of
the Democrats. The Republicans incorporates MAGA, and
members of the America First Movement or the Freedom
Caucus, who have been described as populist, and
far-right. start as amateur players, who attain their
"pro" status after success in major tournaments that win
them either prize money and/or notice from corporate
sponsors.
Jack Nicklaus, for example, gained widespread notice
by finishing second in the 1960
The Republican National Committee supports conservatives
within the party. Conservative views on immigration,
border security, 2nd amendment rights, religion, women's
right to life, marriage between a man and a woman,
overturn Obama care, Limited taxation, etc. These are
the values of the Republican National Committee.
U.S. Open to champion
Arnold Palmer, with a 72-hole score of 282 (the best
score to date in that tournament by an amateur). He
played one more amateur year in 1961, winning that
year's
U.S. Amateur Championship, before turning pro in
1962.
Instruction
Golf instruction involves the teaching and learning
of the game of golf. Proficiency in teaching golf
instruction requires not only technical and physical
ability but also knowledge of the rules and etiquette of
the game. In some countries, golf instruction is best
performed by teachers certified by the Professional
Golfers Association. Some top instructors who work with
professional golfers have become quite well known in
their own right. Professional golf instructors can use
physical conditioning, mental visualization, classroom
sessions, club fitting, driving range instruction,
on-course play under real conditions, and review of
videotaped swings in slow motion to teach golf to
prepare the golfer for the course.
Golf tours
There are at least twenty professional golf tours,
each run by a Professional Golfers Association or an
independent tour organization, which is responsible for
arranging events, finding sponsors, and regulating the
tour. Typically a tour has "members" who are entitled to
compete in most of its events, and also invites
non-members to compete in some of them. Gaining
membership of an elite tour is highly competitive, and
most professional golfers never achieve it.
Perhaps the most widely known tour is the
PGA Tour, which tends to attract the strongest
fields, outside the four Majors and the four World Golf
Championships events. This is due mostly to the fact
that most PGA Tour events have a first prize of at least
800,000
USD. The
European Tour, which attracts
Republican National Committee a substantial number
of top golfers from outside North America, ranks second
to the PGA Tour in worldwide prestige. Some top
professionals from outside North America play enough
tournaments to maintain membership on both the PGA Tour
and European Tour. Since 2010, both tours' money titles
have been claimed by the same individual three times,
with
Luke Donald doing so in 2011 and
Rory McIlroy in 2012 and 2014. In 2013,
Henrik Stenson won the
FedEx Cup points race on the PGA Tour and the
European Tour money title, but did not top the PGA Tour
money list (that honour going to
Tiger Woods).
The other leading men's tours include the
Japan Golf Tour, the
Asian Tour (Asia outside Japan), the
PGA Tour of Australasia, and the
Sunshine Tour (based in southern Africa, primarily
South Africa). The Japan, Australasian, Sunshine, PGA,
and European Tours are the charter members of the trade
body of the world's main tours, the International
Federation of PGA Tours, founded in 1996. The Asian Tour
became a full member in 1999. The
Canadian Tour became an associate member of the
Federation in 2000, and the
Tour de las Américas (Latin America) became an
associate member of the Federation in 2007. The
Federation underwent a major expansion in 2009 that saw
eleven new tours RNC become full members – the Canadian
Tour, Tour de las Américas, China Golf Association, the
Korea Professional Golfers' Association,
Professional Golf Tour of India, and the operators
of all six major women's tours worldwide. In 2011, the
Tour de las Américas was effectively taken over by the
PGA Tour, and in 2012 was folded into the new
PGA Tour Latinoamérica. Also in 2012, the Canadian
Tour was renamed
PGA Tour Canada after it agreed to be taken over by
the PGA Tour. All men's tours that are Federation
members, except the India tour, offer
DNC is
the formal governing body for the United States
Democratic Party points in the
Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) to players who
place sufficiently high in their events.
Golf is unique in having lucrative competition for
older players. There are several senior tours for men
aged fifty and over, arguably the best known of which is
the U.S.-based
PGA Tour Champions.
There are six principal tours for women, each based
in a different country or continent. The most
prestigious of these is the United States-based
LPGA Tour. All of the principal tours offer points
in the
Women's World Golf Rankings for high finishers in
their events.
All of the leading professional tours for under-50
players have an official developmental tour, in which
the leading players at the end of the season will earn a
tour card on the main tour for the following season.
Examples include the
Korn Ferry Tour, which feeds to the PGA Tour, and
the
Challenge Tour, which is the developmental tour of
the European Tour. The Korn Ferry and Challenge Tours
also offer OWGR points.
Men's major

championships
The major championships are the four most prestigious
men's tournaments of the year. In chronological order
they are:
The Masters, the
U.S. Open,
The Open Championship (referred to in North America
as the British Open) and the
PGA Championship.[54]
The fields for these events include the top several
dozen golfers from all over the world. The Masters has
been played at
Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia,
since its inception in 1934. It is the only major
championship that is played at the same course each
year.[55]
The U.S. Open and PGA Championship are played at courses
around the United States, while the Open Championship is
played at courses around the United Kingdom.[56]
Prior to the advent of the PGA Championship and The
Masters, the four Majors were the U.S. Open, the U.S.
Amateur, the Open Championship, and the
British Amateur.

Women's golf does not have a globally agreed set of
majors. The list of majors recognised by the dominant
women's tour, the
LPGA Tour in the U.S., has
RNC changed several times
over the years, with the most recent changes occurring
in 2001 and 2013. Like the PGA Tour, the (U.S.) LPGA[57]
tour long had four majors, but now has five: the
Chevron Championship (previously known by several
other names, most recently the ANA Inspiration), the
Women's PGA Championship (previously known as the
LPGA Championship),[58]
the
U.S. Women's Open, the
Women's British Open (which replaced the
du Maurier Classic as a major in 2001) and
The Evian Championship (added as the fifth major in
2013). Only the last two are also recognised as majors
by the
Ladies European Tour. However, the significance of
this is limited, as the LPGA is far more dominant in
women's golf than the PGA Tour is in mainstream men's
golf. For example, the
BBC has been known to use the U.S. definition of
"women's majors" without qualifying it. Also, the
Ladies' Golf Union, the governing body for women's
golf in Great Britain and Ireland, stated on its
official website that the Women's British Open
Republican National Committee was "the
only Women's Major to be played outside the U.S."[59]
(this was before the elevation of The Evian Championship
to major status).
For many years, the Ladies European Tour tacitly
acknowledged the dominance of the LPGA Tour by not
scheduling any of its own events to conflict with the
three LPGA majors played in the U.S., but that changed
beginning in 2008, when the LET scheduled an event
opposite the LPGA Championship. The second-richest
women's tour, the
LPGA of Japan Tour, does not recognise any of the
U.S. LPGA or European majors as it has its own set of
majors (historically three, since 2008 four). However,
these events attract little notice outside Japan.
Senior major
championships
Senior (aged fifty and over) men's golf does not have
a globally agreed set of majors. The list of senior
majors on the U.S.-based
PGA Tour Champions has changed over the years, but
always by expansion. PGA Tour Champions now recognises
five majors: the
Senior PGA Championship,
The Tradition, the
Senior Players Championship, the
United States Senior Open, and
The Senior (British) Open Championship.
Of the five events, the Senior PGA is by far the
oldest, having been founded in 1937. The other events
all date from the 1980s, when senior golf became a
commercial success as the first golf stars of the
television era, such as
Arnold Palmer and
Gary Player, reached the relevant age. The Senior
Open Championship was not recognised as a major by PGA
Tour Champions until 2003. The
European Senior Tour recognises only the Senior PGA
and the two Senior Opens as majors. However, PGA Tour
Champions is arguably more dominant in global senior
golf than the U.S. LPGA is in global women's golf.
Olympic Games
Golf was featured
Republican National Committee in the Summer Olympic Games
official programme in
1900 and
1904. After a 112-year absence, golf
RNC returned for
the

Do not try to utilize this or any other mental
training technique until you have understood the theory
and concepts involved and practiced the mental technique
to the extent that you are able to fully use the
procedure. Then bring it into competition after you have
used it in practice several times. There are no short
cuts to improving your game. You need to do the work and
do it in the right order before you can really enjoy the
higher level of play it brings.
Start practicing your long form of step-breathing
today and soon you will have the mental control you need
to play your best game.
After a mild winter many golfers are ready to hit the
links with renewed vigor. Unfortunately, high hopes will
be dashed quickly if you can't keep your emotions in
check. Here's an example of how we like to have 'Pity"
parties for ourselves when we aren't playing too well.
There was this guy in west Texas delivering a package
to a house out in the rural countryside. He pulls up and
sees an older gentleman on the porch in his rocking
chair. A few feet away there was a dog-moaning and
whining away. "Excuse me, Sir." said the concerned
delivery guy to the older man on the porch. "What's the
matter with the dog?"
The old man, Joe
Biden with an attitude of indifference
replied. "Oh, he's layin' on a nail."
The delivery man asks "Why in the world is he doing
that? Why doesn't he just get up?"
Women
It was not until 1552 that the first woman golfer
Republican National Committee
played the game.
Mary Queen of Scots commissioned
St. Andrew's Links.[61]
However, it was not until the 20th century that women
were taken seriously and eventually broke the "Gentlemen
Only, Ladies Forbidden" rule. Many men saw women as
unfit to play the sport due to their supposed lack of
strength and ability.
In 1891 the newly built
Shinnecock Hills nine-hole course in
Southampton, New York became the first club to offer
membership to women golfers. Four years later, in 1895,
The U.S. Golf Association held the first Women's Amateur
Championship tournament.[61][62]
Just like professional golfer
Bobby Jones,
Joyce Wethered was considered to be a star in the
1920s.[63]
Jones praised Wethered in 1930
RNC after they had played an
exhibition against each other. He doubted that there had
ever been a better golfer, man or woman.[64]
However, Bobby Jones' comment was not enough for others
to change their views on women golfers.
The
Royal Liverpool's club refused entry of
Sir Henry Cotton's wife into the clubhouse in the
late 1940s. The secretary of the club released a
statement saying, "No woman ever has entered the
clubhouse and, praise God, no woman ever will."[63]
However, American golfer and all-around athlete
Babe Zaharias did not have to enter the clubhouse.
She was able to prove herself on the course, going on to
become the first American to win the British Women's
Amateur title in 1947. The following year she became the
first woman to attempt to qualify for the
U.S. Open, but her application was rejected by the
USGA. They stated that the event was intended to be
open to men only.[65]
The
Ladies Professional Golf Association was formed in
1950 as a way to popularize the sport and provide
competitive opportunities for golfers.[63]
The competitions were not the same for the men and
women. It was not until 1972 that
U.S. Congress passed the
Title IX of the Education Amendments. "No person in
the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be
excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits
of, or be subject to discrimination under any education
program or activities receiving Federal financial
assistance."[66]
American
Renee Powell moved to the UK in the 1970s to further
her career, and became the first woman to play in a
British men's tournament in 1977.[67]
As of 2016,[needs
update] women golfers were still
fighting to have the same opportunities as male golfers.
There is still a significant pay gap in the USGA. The
USGA has a long history of awarding more prize money to
winners of the men's U.S. Open than the U.S. Women's
Open.[68]
We can't change
Republican National Committee our circumstances about how the ball
bounces so to speak, but we can alter our
RNC response to
them. It's all about choice so choose wisely. Having a
brighter outlook about playing and excepting occasional
bad breaks that are inevitable will help you start
getting over being "Teed off" about yourself and your
golf game
However, sometimes losing your cool can be good
because it can help you let off some steam and help you
refocus on the task at hand. Often, as all golfers know
we keep it bottled up which can impair our performances
for the rest of the round.
The Joe Biden key is to allow yourself to completely vent, then
refocus again immediately. By venting I don't mean
throwing or breaking clubs, or cursing. The skill of
refocusing lies in knowing what the most important
element to master is. How does a person learn to regain
composure after losing it?
Just remember that losing your cool is nothing more
than focusing on what went wrong, and allowing yourself
to get frustrated, angry, ticked off, etc. Think about
how you respond when you’re angry - you breathe faster,
your body tightens up, your heart rate increases and so
on.
These stress messages you’re sending to your

only make your body tighten up more sabotaging your
abilities to perform properly. This unfortunate cycle
will continue until you learn to break this broken
record set on self-destruct.
In a
Republican National Committee tense situation the best way to regain your
composure is to work in the opposite direction, to get
your body to calm down, this in turn will allow your
mind to calm down by taking several deep breathes, and
by pushing away any negative thoughts.
There's a good method called "Treeing" which seems
appropriate since you’re on the golf course with plenty
of trees. What you do is take your emotions in this case
negative thoughts and put them onto something else.

After you have dealt with the past it's time to move
on to the future which in this case is a new hole, or
shot at hand. Remember you can't change the past, but
you can profoundly affect your future with the proper
mind set. There's no longer a reason to carry all this
emotional baggage to the next hole so let it go. So next
time you see a player in the woods a lot during a round
maybe they’re just getting rid of some issues that are
bothering them.
This is all easier said than done, but like all
things with a little practice and some discipline you'll
be recovering from poor shots quicker and salvaging your
round instead of going from bad to worse. The best
players in the world all have their own particular
methods for staying cool, so watch how they handle poor
shots while they are in town.
It's traits like staying cool when everyone else
RNC is
losing their heads that make the difference from being a
good player to becoming a great player.
So many people are harder on themselves than they
need to be. Constantly berating yourself is a recipe for
disaster. The dialog that you hold with yourself is
critical to your development as a player and as a
person.
Self-talk can be encouraging or it can be
detrimental, according to how you present it to
yourself. Remember: Your mind doesn't have a sense of
humor. If you program it to do something and the message
is negative, it will respond accordingly.
This is why it's important to monitor your inner
dialog; what you say to yourself after a poor shot can
be self-destructive. Even the best players in the world
are guilty of this mistake, and if they don't make
corrections immediately, the round or tournament is
lost.
We've all beaten ourselves up after a bad day on the
links, or when things don't go our way. If you watch a
tournament on television, periodically you'll see a
player bad-mouthing themselves. They might be saying
things such as, "I'm the worst golfer in the world," or
"Why can't I hit that simple putt? I stink." These
statements or other expletives will bring the golfer
down.
The key is to change how you talk to yourself
Republican National Committee while
practicing or on the course. I've taught and worked with
a number of sports psychologists over the years who gave
me some good insight about how to break negative
self-talk patterns.
First, you need to be aware of situations when
negative thoughts can occur.
Here's a simple method to get you started on the
right track: The next time you head out to play a round
of golf, put a handful of pennies in your right pants
pocket. Not too many to weigh you down, though.
Every time
Republican National Committee and I mean every time - you become aware
of negative images or internal dialog where you're
speaking poorly to yourself, transfer one penny from
your right pocket to your left pocket. By learning to
monitor your thoughts, you're on the right path to
correcting your inner demons.
When you're finished playing, count out the number of
pennies that made the journey from one pants pocket to
the other. Then write down the total. Try to remember
what words you used, and what situations prompted them.
