Women’s golf club fitting has been ignored by the manufactures for a long time by not offering many options. In just the past few years this has started to change. Do not get me wrong. Against the offerings for men, the manufactures are still lagging with product for women’s golf club fitting. However, this should not discourage the ladies as a properly fitted set of clubs will help you shoot lower scores and have more fun.

“Why do I need to be fitted for my set of clubs?” is a question that I get quite often from ladies. All golfers come in various shapes and sizes. A properly executed club fitting will match your body type and swing to your golf equipment. Why is this important? A set of properly fitted golf clubs will make the game much easier as you will not have the need to manipulate the club as much during the golf swing.

“Why not buy a club or set of irons that are already in the golf shop?” is another question I hear quite often. Typically, local golf shops and golf clubs are only stocked with the manufactures standards. The two main reasons for this are the cost of carrying that many sets of irons/drivers from all manufacturers and the manufacturers have become very good at quickly filling orders. Most companies can fill a custom order in just three days. Golf sales reps have stated that these “standards” fit only ten percent of golfers. Most golfers purchasing a set of irons measure into an upright lie angle. In addition, most golfers are measured into a longer or shorter golf shaft than the standard offering.

Pack suitable outfits for your golf holiday. Many golf clubs have a dress code for their players. After picking a golf club, learn in advance the dress codes they prescribe and pack a set or two. Also carry some thermal undergarments as sun and rain can be jumpy at times. It would be better to take your sunglasses, caps and beanies rather than purchasing them later. Also do not forget to check your footwears and see if the cleats are all right.

Decide how much you want to expend on your golf holiday. Pre preparation is extremely essential if you are on a low budget. Some golf holiday resorts provide VIP services and thus charge a very outrageous price. If you want to take your whole family along with you, you should be more careful on mitigating the costs. Pick a golf club that is both affordable and suitable according to your needs. If you want to make your golf holiday both fun filled venture and a family outing, you better pick up a destination where you can enjoy beautiful scenic views besides just playing golf.

A golf practice net is an effective tool for any golfer who wants to improve skills while working on form and stance. There is no need to waste time travelling to the local driving range when a golf practice net can be set up in almost any location. This allows users to sneak in practice whenever spare time allows. These devices are especially convenient in locations where bad weather limits time outdoors. A large garage or carport can provide shelter from rain, snow and wind.

A single individual can set up a golf practice net in a matter of minutes. A standard model is lightweight and folds up into a small package for easy transportation. Some nets form a dome while others are rectangular but all are made of mesh to catch the ball. By setting up a series of nets in the garage, an individual can create a convenient place to practice without having to leave home.

With an appropriate place to practice, avid golfers can spend more time working on skills and less time driving around. More time to practice almost always translates to a lower score on the course because the golfer gets stronger and builds up endurance. Nets have large openings making it simple for anybody to hit the target. Using a golf practice net during the winter months will ensure the golfer keeps up on skill development even when the weather is too poor to play a round.
