Santana Golf Course Costa del Sol Spain

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Santana Golf Course and Country Club is located between La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol and offers spectacular panorama of the Mijas Mountains. It is also very close to the Mediterranean Sea, designed amongst the oranges and avocados orchard. It is situated where nature and golf become one.

Santana Golf Course is spectacular in the way of design as well as location. This is a contemporary golf course which is about 6300 meters long and is designed at Puerto de Santa Maria in the bay of Cadiz.

The course has been created sensitively by the course architect Cabell B. Robinson. It is a completely natural golf course which has come up as an outstanding place with extensive and well defined fairways on level territory allowing you to walk along easily. The water bodies play an important but not an excessive role in the complete design of the golf course.

Understanding The Basic Rules Of Golf

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

There are many people who embark on playing golf but do not really try to understand the rules or the golfing terms used. It's good to at least understand the basic rules before a game of golf.

Golf is played by striking a ball using a club on an area called "teeing ground." Once the ball is hit, it typically travels fairways across and onto a next prepared area. A hole could be found in this area that is called a "putting green."

The objective of the game of golf is that one should be able to complete a hole by means of hitting a ball from a teeing ground and place it inside the hole of the putting green in as few strokes as possible. What is usually referred to as a round of golf generally consists of 18 holes to be played in.

Golf – Cure That Hook In One Day!

Friday, January 29th, 2010

For most golfers it is the golf slice that gives us the most headaches out on the golf course. But, for many others who hook the golf ball, the problem can be just as frustrating. So, how can you stop hooking the golf ball and begin hitting more fairways? It's easier than you might think and I'm going to show you how to get immediate results.

Stance - Position the ball in the middle or a little forward in your stance. For most golfers who hook the ball I see them position the ball too far back in their stance. You want to keep the ball in the middle or even with your left heel (if you're right-handed). Make sure you position your feet toward your target line. Both of the tips of your toes should be even, or a little to the left of the target line. This more open stance will help reduce the chances of hooking the golf ball. Don't position your left foot more forward in your stance than your right. Keep them even.

Friday, January 15th, 2010

If you are in search of the best golf clubs for you, you are at the right place. Golf clubs are products that are supposed to dramatically improve your game, virtually overnight. Smart entrepreneurs have cashed in on the fact that almost every golfer is constantly looking for a way to improve their game and reduce their handicap. The outcome is that many golfing products have flooded the market and the results have been predictable.

Before buying your golf clubs you should confirm whether it will help in eliminating your particular golfing weakness or whether it will help to strengthen the group of muscles to eliminate your existing golfing equipment. If your golfing product does not do this, then the chances are very high that it will be a dud. You should particularly ask for expert advice personally or on the internet.

Golf Driving Tips – How To Hit A Golf Ball Far And Straight

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Learning how to drive a golf ball well is a challenging task. It can take time and consistent practice to become effective at hitting this club. The reason why the driver is the toughest club to hit is because it is the longest club in the bag which makes it the most difficult one to control. Also any small flaws in your swing can result in big variations in the end result so the driver will reveal how finely tuned your swing really is.

Do not expect to become perfect at hitting a driver as even the best golfing professionals regularly mishit this club. Instead focus on developing enough consistency to allow you to hit enough fairways with enough distance so that you can then use your short game to make more birdies and shoot low scores. It is important to learn how to hit a driver far and straight because golf courses are getting longer and tougher so you need both distance and accuracy.

Not All Arizona Golf Schools Use Desert Courses

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

If you are looking for somewhere nice and warm to play golf in the winter, Arizona could be the place for you. Arizona golf schools provide excellent facilities for you to combine a short break from home and work with some much needed winter tuition. Not only do you get some relaxation to allow you recover from the holiday period, but you also keep your golf game in trim, all ready for the start of the new season.

You Get More Than Desert Courses in Arizona

It has been said that Arizona is fine if you like desert courses, though I am not sure what that term defines. Sure, Arizona is desert country, and the courses are surrounded by desert, but not all are target golf courses with small islands of greenery surrounded by sand. The TPC at Scottsdale is a beautiful course with lovely fairways, and nothing like what comes into mind when you think of a 'desert course'.

Pheasant Run Golf Course and Country Club

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

You might not think that a city like Toronto, the very definition of urban sprawl, would have room anywhere near it for a first rate golf course and country club such as Pheasant Run. Located less than a hour’s drive from Toronto’s downtown core, the Pheasant Run golf courses, at first blush, resemble the rolling valleys of the interior of British Columbia than anything to be found in Ontario, let alone so near to the city. However, Pheasant Run is a reality right in the Heartland; let’s take a bit of a look at it.

History

Pheasant Run is a golf course and country club with a solid history behind it. The land was first developed for recreational purposes in the late 1970s, on land that had the feel of the Muskoka regions more than the typical surrounding plots. The gates to the course and club were opened to much fanfare in 1981, and since that time Pheasant Run has enjoyed increasing success and popularity among those who love to play the game.

That’s Golf Think

Friday, December 4th, 2009

The face of golf is changing. Just look at the likes of Tiger Woods, Camilo Villegas, and many of the other younger chiseled golf-bodies today and you realize that golf fitness is becoming a major part of the game. If players want to compete at the highest levels they have to have a physical routine, watch what they consume, be properly prepared mentally and then develop and follow a defined golf strategy that keeps their focus on the business at hand.

The old days of "golf not being a sport" have changed dramatically. It may still not have physical contact like some other sports but you have to get very physical in order to drive that ball consistently 300 + yards, endure the mental pressure, and walk some of those fairways. And with many of the courses reaching 7200+ yards with plenty of undulation, the game is demanding more and more.
