How to Golf – Some Basic Rules

Golf, as with any other sport, has rules. The basic rule of golf is to sink a small ball into a small hole a few hundred yards away, using a club (which is a long stick with a large head at the end). Each hole has a par which is the pre-determined number of strokes needed in order to get the ball into the hole. The fewer the strokes the better, it you hit the ball less times than the mean you are under par, which is excellent. In golf having a negative score is better than a positive one!

Another quick tip: Always keep your eyes on the ball! This is a problem for many golfers, especially beginners. Do not look up as you hit the ball; keep your head down with your eyes on the ball. Following through with your swing is equally important, rotate your hips as you swing and your contact with the ball will be much surer, you’ll be surprised at how much further your ball travels!

You may have problems with the ball heading straight for the edge of the green instead of the hole.

The Fundamentals of Golf Putting

Golf Putting and Body Mechanics

Developing good body mechanics is an essential part of your golf technique. Good golf body mechanics emphasises proper body movements and posture when swinging your golf club. It reduces muscle and joint stress whilst simultaneously enhancing your physical capabilities. The golf putting body mechanics are fundamentally different from those of a full golf swing. When learning how to golf, emphasis is usually placed on driving the golf ball as far down the fairway as possible even though being able to putt accurately is equally important.

The primary goal of focusing on your golf putting body mechanics is to acquire a natural body posture that allows you to strike the golf ball so that it rolls end over end. The best way of doing this is to stand astride the golf ball with your eyes directly over the ball when making your putt. By doing this you will ensure that you maintain the correct perspective of both the ball and target line.

It is an extremely important part of body mechanics that you maintain the correct posture when golf putting. Setting up and making your putts must be done in the same way every time, this cannot be stressed enough! Consistency is the key when learning how to golf.

Golf Putting – Keep Your Head Still

Whenever the body mechanics of golf putting is discussed it will inevitably lead to an analysis of head movement. Your head must never move until you have completed your stroke and followed through. Failing to maintain your head in a stable position will result in your shoulders going out of alignment. The face of your putter will not be square with the target line if your shoulders are misaligned, resulting in your golf ball straying from its course. If you struggle to keep your head still during your stroke, try to focus your attention on the grass underneath the golf ball, this will help reduce your natural instinct to follow your ball after the stroke.

Your unique golf putting style

Spending time practicing your putting when you are learning how to golf allows you to develop your own unique golf putting stroke. Explore all of your options and find out what works for you before deciding upon which style to adopt; you must be completely comfortable with your choices and then do it with flair! Don’t select a grip technique just because it was recommended in a book, the best choice for you is a style that works for you!

On a final note, when practicing your golf putting strokes it should always be conducted on a completely level green. If the surface undulates or slopes in any direction it will be extremely difficult to find the cause of the ball travelling in a wayward manner.

Running in a Winter Wonderland - With the Best Winter Running Socks

It seems silly to write about running in the winter when it’s almost 60, yes 60, degrees in Michigan today. Michiganders know weather is a tricky son of a gun and you really never know what to expect. It could be 60 one day and the next, we’ll have snow. It’s never too early to start getting your winter running wardrobe ready to go.

Winter running can be brutal. Some people may find solace on a treadmill in some gym, but for others, they brave the conditions and run outside no matter what.

Running in the winter can be tricky — especially when people don’t shovel their driveways. Sometimes you’re trudging through several inches of snow and each step you take into the snow makes your feet colder and colder.

So besides higher cuts and more cushioning, what should one look for in a winter sock? Well, let’s discuss!

First, let’s take a look at Drymax Cold Weather Running Sock. As you can probably assume by the name, this is a sock specially made for the cold temperatures. Drymax prides itself on being the number one sock to keep feet dry and this is especially important come winter. Wet socks are a big enemy to your feet. Moisture can pull heat away from your skin 23 times faster than air. Moisture can reduce skin temperature so rapidly that wet feet feel painfully cold and are susceptible to frostbite. With Drymax, you’ll have a dual layer moisture removal system to instantly remove the moisture from your skin. Drymax fibers have the lowest thermal conductivity of fibers used to manufacture socks. These fibers can keep feet warmer more than other fibers because they conduct less heat away from the skin.

Drymax Cold Weather Running Socks are knit with Hollow Core polyester fibers on the outside to increase overall insulation. Due to the wind chill factor, the front part of your leg tends to get the coldest, so this sock has a third layer of Drymax fiber insulation. This sock presents one of the best options for winter running due to comfort and moisture-wicking capabilities. You won’t be complaining about cold feet after your run with these socks.

SmartWool is another option to consider when the snowflakes start falling. Well-known for their skiing socks, SmartWool also offers some great socks for running. Made with Merino wool, SmartWool PhD Running Socks regulate temperature and moisture. They will help you stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. However, since their "light" models are still pretty bulky, most people do just stick to them as a winter sock. With its moisture-wicking capabilities your feet will also stay dry, meaning they stay warm too.

Along with temperature and moisture control, Merino wool also brings odor control into the mix. When the run is done and you’re transitioning from running shoes to slippers, you won’t get a whiff of something smelly.

Another winter option is to wear some kind of liner and then another pair of socks over that. Maybe grab a pair of toesock liners and then you could probably wear any other kind of running sock over it and you’ll get the warmth and performance factors you need.

Remember, just because a sock is thick, doesn’t mean it’s a good option for winter time running. Stay away from cotton at all costs and make sure you have something that will wick moisture away. In fact, you can probably get away with a lightweight sock as long as it removes moisture effectively.
