Disc Golfing for Dummies

Disc golfing, otherwise known as Frisbee golf (or "Frolf" for short) is an increasingly popular sport among the younger generation. Frolf courses are springing up all over the country and are particularly prevalent in the Pacific Northwest.

Frolf is played by throwing a variety of weighted discs from a tee area in order to reach a the "hole" which is usually represented by a chain link basket suspended at chest level. Frolf courses are generally built in wooded areas, as opposed to regular golf courses which are built on beautifully manicured lawns. Frolf is a fun and easy way to get your kids interested in golf and is much more laid back than actual golfing.

Golfing Poems Extol the Virtues of Golf

I have always been a fan of writing literary odes to my favorite activities. As golf is one of my favorite activities, I figured I would share one of my golfing poems with you so that you can share in my love of the sport.

Golfing is fun, golfing is good
Whether using an iron
Or hitting a wood

Walking on grass,
Smelling the air
When on the course,
I'd rather be no where

Putting on greens both large and small
Playing with friend, both short and tall

I love golf, it is my sport of choice
And with this poem,
I give my love voice

The End.

Europe's Best Kept Secret: Italian Golfing Holidays

If you are an avid golfer who likes to travel, you may have already tried visiting St. Andrews in Scotland, Myrtle Beach, or St. Augustine Florida. But many golfers have been unaware of the splendid times one can have on a golfing vacation in Italy.

That's right, Italy. I have spent numerous summers on Italian golfing holidays and enjoyed myself on a relatively modest budget. The Italian people are friendly, welcoming, and serve food that is worth writing home about. While on holiday in Italy, consider taking a detour to Rome so that you can take in some history and experience the beautiful architecture.

When your Game Stops Improving, Seek Golfing Tips

Sometimes, your golf game is at a point where you feel like it is not improving much or even at all. It is at those times that golfers begin to feel frustrated and start to lose their enthusiasm for the sport of golf that we all love so much. When facing this problem, many golfers look to their club pro to help them out with some golfing tips. Going to your local pro for help is a great idea when you find that your scores are no longer improving.

Some useful tips that I have gotten from my local pro include practicing breathing exercises while putting and using visualization techniques on long drives to help me visualize exactly where I want to put the ball on the fairway. These tips have helped me take another two points off my average!

Get Rid of Your Old Golfing Goods to Buy New Equipment

Are you tired of the same old boring golfing goods that you are currently playing with? I am. So last week, I decided to have a garage sale and get rid of my old clubs and bag to make room for a new set.

Having a garage sale is not only a great way to make money for new golfing equipment, it is also helpful in getting rid of all the old stuff that is cluttering up your garage.
