If you are a player who prides himself on grabbing one of your favorite golf clubs, the driver and crushing the ball off the tee, then you should be able to identify that this is not always the best strategy and can sometimes get you into trouble. Sure, those that are watching may be impressed with those monster hits your driver can produce, but are they consistently landing in the middle of the fairway? In my opinion, long and wide is not always as good as short and straight. I play my game, with a simple set of golf clubs, I leave my driver in the bag on tough holes, and just play smart. Here are a couple of examples of when to play smart, that I am sure we all encounter during any round of golf. Playing smart golf will not only save you strokes, but will also make your round of golf more enjoyable. It will enable you to improve your handicap and play your round quicker. Sure, go ahead and rip those monster drives with your Callaway Big Bertha, but when you get yourself into a bit of trouble be smart and play the game safe with this advice.
Imagine you have just landed in the tall grass. I am not talking about the rough, first cut, second cut...but the tall grass. The kind of grass that is up above your ankles. Your ball has landed, unfortunately in no mans land...tall, thick and unmanageable grass. In fact, you have been lucky to have even found it. This condition of higher, thicker grass will reap havoc on your club, an almost impossible situation to be in. Any attempt to lift this ball out with an iron other than a wedge is golf suicide. The grass will wrap around the hosel and turn your club head before it even has a chance to reach the ball. All the strength in the world will not prevent this from happening. You can have the golf strength of a Tiger Woods, your club face will still get wrapped up in the tall grass.
But all is not lost and there is hope. This is a circumstance where you need to play smart golf. Do not attempt to hit this ball for distance. Do not attempt to try and reach the green. Do not try to impress your friends. Your objective needs to be simply to get the ball back into play. Simple, smart and a stroke saver in the long run. Take a wedge and strike down on the ball as if it were buried in the sand. Striking down hard on the ball will lift it up into the air and place it back into the fairway. The striking down motion will help the club face avoid contact with the grass until it enters near the top of the ball. Sure, this may not be impressive or produce the 150 yards you need to get to the hole, but the 10 or 20 yards you get out of this shot to put you into the fairway is guaranteed to produce better results for that hole...play smart golf. Remember to strike down hard and follow through on your swing because if you have no follow through, your ball will remain at your feet, and you will be attempting to get this ball out again. Any other approach to this shot will result in another shot, and your lie could be even worse than the first one.
The second tip is the ball has landed in the "beach". We are not talking about the old plugged ball in the sand trap that will require a swing as described above. This ball is sitting on top of the sand will require a bit more delicate approach. We have to play this smart, as any wrong move or aggressive approach will result in additional trouble. The objective here will be to lift it gently off the sand. A delicate stroke to land it gently on the green. By taking a smooth, controlled swing with an open stance and club face, strike behind the ball by about two inches. Hitting behind the ball will allow the club to cut through the sand and bring the ball with it through your follow through. By keeping impact at about a two inch distance you will be able to land the ball softly on the green and avoid hitting the ball thin and have it fly out of the bunker into the bunker on the other side costing you yet another stroke. Play smart golf. Visit us for more tips and advice on the game of golf.

Boxcar Bertha $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Boxcar Bertha (1972), director Martin Scorseses second film, is a loose adaptation of Sister of the Road, the fictionalized autobiography of radical and transient Bertha Thompson as written by physician Dr. Ben L. Reitman. One of producer Roger Cormans famous exploitation films, the movie was made with a modest 600,000 budget and taught Scorsese how to make films quickly and economically. Besides the name of the heroine and her freight riding, very little of the film bears any resemblance to the original story written in Sister of the Road. The film tells the story of Bertha Thompson (played by Barbara Hershey) and Big Bill Shelly (played by David Carradine), two train robbers and lovers who are caught up in the plight of railroad workers in the American South. When Bertha is implicated in the murder of a wealthy gambler, the pair become fugitives from justice. While this story adheres to certain conventions of exploitation narrative, it also offers a surprisingly frank look at race and gender issues in the 1930s. Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 84 Publication Date: 2010/09/11 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.20 inches |
