How do you hit a draw in golf?
444289
There are three schools of thought on it.  One, you can adjust your stance for a draw.  Your lead foot needs to be in front of you back foot.  Then, take your normal swing, this can cause a draw.  Two, you can adjust your swing path.  An inside-out swing can produce a draw.  Third, you can adopt a strong grip which can produce a draw.  Try all three, and or a combination of the three.

Your best drive is your 3 wood.  I know everyone wants to hit if far, but it takes some time for you swing to handle a driver.  The 3 wood is easier to hit so it should go further and straighter for you.  Now don't let your driver sit in the bag and collect dust.  Use it on the holes it can't hurt you.  When you have a par 4 or par 5 that's going to take and extra shot, try the driver.  Make sure there is not a lot of trouble off the tee.  That way if you hit it 20 yards to the right you still have a shot.  \n\nOnce you have devloped your swing and want to find a good driver, please follow these steps:\n1.  Do not purchase a driver with out hitting one like it first.\n2.  Go to several Demo days and have them fit you.  You can go the the company websites to find Demo days in your area.  \n3.  Once you find a driver you just can't do without but it.  \nI have links to several companies websites on my blog roll. \n\nMay is free golf lesson month - Go to www.playgolfamerica.com to sign up for a free lesson with a local PGA Pro\n\nTips\ntrying your 3-wood instead of your driver.\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/swing/improve_anderson061504.cfm\nIf you struggle with your tee shots, try a couple of these drills to help you build confidence and consistency.\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/swing/improve_polites110104.cfm\nWhile it is desirable to hit down on the ball with most every club in your bag, that is not the case with your driver\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/swing/improve_rihm110104.cfm\n technical advisor Tom Wishon points out the three things about a driver that can cause you to leave valuable yards in your bag.\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/equipment/improve_wishon060905.cfm\n\ngood luck

In order for the ball to curve to the right, your clubface has to be meeting the ball in an "open", that is also facing right, position when you hit the ball.  This imparts the left-to-right spin on the ball.  Try a stronger grip.  This does not mean to squeeze more tightly, but set the club down in its normal position, relax your grip and turn the clubface slightly to the left, and then regrip.  This should square up the face and keep it from spinning off to the right.  Too much and you will hook the ball to the left, so you may have to experiment at the range until your ball flight is straighter.  A little fade, which is a slight left-to-right is OK as is a little draw, which is a slight right-to-left.   Most pros do one or the other as it is more difficult to hit an absolute straight shot.  All this info is for a right-handed golfer by the way.  Hope this helps a bit.

When it comes to putters if you like it and think you can make putts it's good.  Heavy putters for slow greens light for fast.  \n\nA couple things to remember \nDo not use your wrist \nShort back swing good follow through - make sure you accelerate the putter\n\nLength of putt\nLay a ruler on the ground.  Putt the ball 3 feet.  Make a note how far you take the putter back.  1.5 inches in most cases.  Do the same for a 5 foot, 8 foot and 15 foot putt.  Once you learn how far to take the club back for each distance your way ahead of the game.  \n\nHere is some more info \nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/shortgame/improve_nesbitt120505.cfm

I've seen two different setups that have worked really well.\n\nFirst one was called "The Loop" at my home course.  Everyone just goes out and plays their own ball, and then turns in their scorecards at the end of the round.  The players were divided into two pools - the A pool had all the guys who shot around 80, the B pool was the 110 shooters, in your case - and the scorecards are drawn so every A player is matched with a B player.  From there, it's the team's best ball on the hole vs. the field for skins.  Everyone plays hard because they don't know who their partner is until the end of the round...\n\nNow, if the teams have to be known in advance, try alternate shot.  Whoever drives on the first hole drives on all the odd-numbered holes; the partner drives on all the evens.  Automatic two-stroke penalty if someone hits twice in a row (including knocking in that three-inch putt after missing the five-footer).  Just make sure the teams involve one low and one high handicapper, or else it'll get ugly quick.

In tournament play, hitting out of bounds is a "stroke and distance" penalty, which means you take the stroke penalty, and you must go back to where you hit your previous shot.  \n\nIn this case, your first stroke went out of bounds.  You take a stroke penalty, and return to the teeing ground.  Your next stroke would be your third for the hole, the first being the original stroke and the second being the penalty stroke.\n\nAs an aside, there have been groups that have been trying to get the USGA to change the penalty to either just distance - meaning if you went out of bounds, you would be just assessed the distance penalty and you would be hitting your second from the tee box, rather than your third - or just a stroke penalty, and treat the out of bounds as a lateral hazard, so that your next shot would be your third, but you would be dropping in the vicinity of where the ball went out of bounds, rather than going back to where you hit your previous shot.

the club face is small and easy to make a mistake with. One common error is trying to come in from an arc and straighten up 2 inches (5 cm) from the ball ... to have a better chance of hitting correctly, straighten up the swing 7 inches (18 cm) before the ball.\n\nThere are a few sites with good info on bettering your golf swing. Areas to make sure are right are the Stance; Grip; Pivoting the sholders; keeping left arm straight; keeping eye on the ball; practice lots. \nMy first tip though is something i haven't seen in many tips, yet helped my game a lot

Golf Proverbs\n1. If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age. \n\n2. The game of golf is 90% mental and 10% mental. \n\n3. Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three. \n\n4. When you look up and cause an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again. \n\n5. Any change works for a maximum of three holes and a minimum of not at all. \n\n6. No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse. \n\n7. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing. \n\n8. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls. \n\n9. If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up, or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there. \n\n10. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing. \n\n11. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all your errors. \n\n12. If it ain't broke, try changing your grip. \n\n13. Golfers who claim they don't cheat, also lie. \n\n14. Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot. \n\n15. A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent's luck. \n\n16. It's surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 10. \n\n17. Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut. \n\n18. Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts. \n\n19. It's not a gimme if you're still away. \n\n20. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree. \n\n21. There are two kinds of bounces: unfair bounces, and bounces just the way you meant to play it. \n\n22. You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10% of the time, and a 2-inch branch 90% of the time. \n\n23. Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe. \n\n24. If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard. \n\n25. To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the speed of his backswing by his handicap. Example: backswing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing 600mph. \n\n26. There are two things you can learn by stopping your backswing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove. \n\n27. Hazards attract; fairways repel. \n\n28. You can put "draw" on the ball, you can put "fade" on the ball, but no golfer can put "straight" on the ball. \n\n29. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours. \n\n30. If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. \n\n31. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint. \n\n32. Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.

If it is a competition in the case of matchplay then the extra holes are decided before the match starts, should it be level after 18 and the shots are awarded exactly the same as the original 18 ie according to the stroke index of the hole. In the case of stroke play, then the back nine is counted if that is level then the back seven if that is also level then the back five and then three is taken into consideration, if this is also level it is usual to have either a sudden death or three hole play off, if it is still level after the three hole play off the the same three holes are played over and over until an out right winner is found.  If it's a friendly then be civilised after all it is golf your playing and just go to the bar and buy your opponent a beer and congratulate him on managing to stay even with you over 18 holes

Try to use stiff shaft, I used to use Regular shaft but after I have changed the shaft to stiff, I can hit it much \nfurther than before and also straighter, so go can change your shaft immediately.\nHAPPY GOLFING!

Believe it or not, you loft the ball by hitting down on it.  The initial trajectory is determined by the loft of the club face.  Hitting down on the ball gives it backspin, which will actually make it climb higher in flight.  No part of your divot should be behind the ball.  Ideally, the club should strike the ball and ground simultaneously and the entire divot be in front of where the ball was sitting.\n\nUnless conditions were very severe, I would never try to hit up at a ball, even with a driver and the ball on a tee.  That would impart overspin to the ball, which will make it dive into the ground.  Little ball flight and a lot of roll may be called for against a strong wind on a very dry and bald fairway, but is not the preferred shot shape most of the time.  Swing level with your driver.  Let the clubface put the ball in the air.

This is easy, tee the ball up and after you hit the ball try to keep your eye on the tee....when putting put the ball on top of a penny, and then after you stroke the putt, keep your eye on the penny.

It is easier said than done, but you have to just concentrate on the shot at hand. It is ultimately important that you not try to "make up" for a bad shot with an impossibly difficult shot instead of the smart shot. If you hit the balls into the trees just punch it out. Don't try and hit an impossible shot through the trees and onto the green(For example see Mickelson, Phil - 18th hole 2006 U.S. Open). In the long run your svcores will improve as will your frame of mind.

A golf course has 18 holes. Each hole is given a parr rating of 3, 4 or 5. Average course is 72. A pro should do the course in parr (72) or less. \n\nWhen you start playing golf you have an handycap of 28. So you get 28 extra stokes over the 18 holes. \n\nIf you played against a pro and you went round in 100 and they went round in 72 in would be a draw. If you did it in 99 or less you would win.\n\nHaving a handycap allows different rated players to play against each other.\n\nTo lower your handycap, you play 3 rounds of golf at a course and take the average score.\n\n1st game you do it in 98 ( 2 stokes below your expected of 100)\n2nd game you do it in 96 ( 4 stokes below)\n3rd game you do it in 98 again.\n\nyour average would be 97, which is 3 stokes below your handycap of 100. \n\nCourse 72 plus handycap of 28 = 100. now deduct the 3 stokes from your averaged score over your last 3 holes. Now giving you a handycap of 25.\n\nYou keep playing and try to reduce your handycap to as low as poss. The lower your handycap score the better golfer you become.

I'm assuming that you are referring to Yahoo! Pool. If you have a two button mouse, you hold down the right button and pull back the cue then let go to hit. If you have a one button mouse *most mac users* hold shift down while you click to hit the cue.
