Anyone can come up with a golfing jokes; here are some of my favorites:

Talk about fantastic golf teachers. He was the best and one day this woman came to him and said that she had developed a terrific slice. Day and night he worked with her for five months. Now she's the biggest hooker in town.

Well, I have never played this badly before! I didn't realize you had played before, Sir

Caddy, do you think my game is improving? Oh yes, Sir! You miss the ball much closer than you used to

Do you have any of your own?

The Need For Golfing Videos

noreply@blogger.com (nkchen) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:29:00 +0000

Golfing videos can be more frequently found on YouTube for those that use them. The need for golfing videos has arisen due to the fact that not everyone can afford golf lessons. What this means is that many golfers are turning to free online videos for instruction. On the surface, this seems like a really good idea, but in the end, it hampers the player. You may take note of a certain technique, but someone needs to be there to show you what you are doing wrong. Golfing videos are becoming popular, but as a player, make sure not to overuse them.

The Practicality Of A Golfing Practice Net

noreply@blogger.com (nkchen) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 07:20:00 +0000

A golfing practice net acts just like a net that soccer and football players use. For soccer, athletes practice their kicks over and over again with one ball. In football, the kicker gets to practice his kicks without the need to always retrieve the ball. This kind of application also works for golf. The net is there so that one can practice their swing with a real ball. Once the ball is hit, it will just go into the net. This way, the player does not need to constantly retrieve balls or have many balls on hand. It is definitely a useful tool.

Choosing Golfing Clothes

noreply@blogger.com (nkchen) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 05:54:00 +0000

When one goes golfing, there is certain attire that needs to be worn in order to follow etiquette. Most commonly, a polo shirt with slacks is worn for the event. Some go as far as to wear the old Scottish gold attire, but that is not necessary. Many do wear a cap to keep the sun out and have a good view of the course. Proper shoes need to be chosen in order to maintain grip on the course. Some do wear sweaters and sweater vests which are appropriate. If you do not know what to wear, then a polo and slacks never fails.

The most important factor in improving your golf game is time spent on the links. This will translate directly to an improved game. Still, buying accessories does make the player look appropriate.

Common Golfing Accidents

noreply@blogger.com (nkchen) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:28:00 +0000

Golf is a non-contact sport, so one would think that there would not be many golfing accidents. On the contrary, golfing accidents happen constantly. For example, it is very common for a golfer to swing the driver and lose a grip on it. Then, the driver will fly out of his hands and hit someone in the face. Other instances happen, where the ball that was hit pegs an innocent bystander in the face. These are the most common accidents that happen.

Other mishaps usually involve the golf cart. People see this cart as a toy and not a tool. So many times, they may take a turn at too sharp an angle and eject everyone from the cart. Or, they may not be paying attention to the trail and ram another cart coming from the other direction. As you can see, golfing accidents are not all that uncommon.

So, the perfect golfing shoes are most definitely a pair of Nikes.

Book Golfing Vacations Early for Savings

noreply@blogger.com (BlogMan) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 02:09:00 +0000

With the spring fast approaching, now is the time to start booking golfing vacations before they get too expensive. Planning your trip early will allow you to save money on airfare, car rentals, and hotels, among other things. Some courses even offer discounted greens fees when they are purchased well in advance.

Many golfers take golfing trips in the summer time but golfers who have been around the block a time or two know that taking a trip in the spring is far superior as the courses and resort towns are much less crowded. This is especially true to destinations that attract families, as school schedules usually relegate them to vacationing exclusively during the summer.

You Might See Golfing Motorcycles at Your Country Club This Spring

noreply@blogger.com (BlogMan) — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 02:55:00 +0000

If you're a country club golfer with a wild side, then you may want to consider getting yourself into a sweet golfing motorcycle this spring. Not only are golfing motorcycles becoming a hot new trend this year, you can be the first member of your local club to show up to your tee time on a real road hog.

The best golfing motorcycles are, in my opinion, old fashioned bikes with a sidecar. The sidecar lets you transport your clubs to the course in style. Think about all the heads you'll turn in your khakis and golf shirt cruising down the highway on your hog with a full set of golf clubs right next to you. Be the first one of your friends to get a golfing motorcycle, and you can have all the bragging rights.

Golfing in Belgium Becoming More Popular

noreply@blogger.com (BlogMan) — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 02:27:00 +0000

For golfers who are familiar with the European golf community, it will come as no surprise that Belgium is the new hot spot for golfing vacations. Many avid golfers are planning trips to go golfing in Belgium during the warmer months of 2008.

If one has the time, it would be advisable to plan on hitting premier golf courses in other countries across the Atlantic, too. With so many countries with great golf courses in such close proximity to each other, it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to play as many of them as possible while overseas.

The Fresh Prince Golfing Brings My Two Favorite Things Together

noreply@blogger.com (BlogMan) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 22:29:00 +0000

Today I'd like to write a little about two of my favorite things combined into one post: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Golfing.

I know that the two must seem wildly incongruous to most, but upon closer examination, there are several connections. First, we seen Will Smith, the Fresh Prince golfing on no less than two occasions during the course of the series. This may seem odd considering he is from "West Philadelphia, born and raised..." but not so much when we realize that he is transplanted to the upscale neighborhood of Bel Air in Los Angeles, where golfing is avidly pursued.

In one memorable episode, the Fresh Prince enters a golf tournament with Uncle Phil as his teammate because Carlton won't play for fear of losing. The results are both humorous and surprising.

In the other instance of the Fresh Prince golfing that I can recall, Will and his young cousin take their dates to a miniature golf course for a date that turns into a night of hysterical hijinks.

Sell Old Golfing Equipment for New Clubs

noreply@blogger.com (BlogMan) — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:05:00 +0000

Are you tired of the same old boring golfing equipment 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. Having a garage sale is easy, too. Simply put up poster board signs around you neighborhood directing traffic to your house, and watch the dollars roll in.
