Golf - A Sport of Highest Level of Technical Intelligence and Spirituality

Sports can be divided into two forms, one is straight sports such as running and swimming, and the other is circular sports such as baseball, tennis and golf. When engaging in circular movements, the practice of body turning is particularly important, because if the turning is not done well, the wrong muscles will be used for hitting the ball. No matter how hard you work, the results you get are limited. In addition, among all circular sports, golf is a time-lag sport, emphasizing how to use the upper body (arms, wrists, shoulders) and the lower body (below the waist) to coordinate the advanced movements of running. Therefore, golf is a sport with the highest level of technology, intelligence and spirituality.

What golf rod to start with?

Generally, domestic golf beginners are often recommended to use a 7 iron as an entry-level practice club. But foreign golf teaching generally takes the P (Pitch) wedge as the entry point. In addition to the advantages of shorter shafts and easier ball control, the P-pole has the most diverse play styles. The P-pole and putter are the most frequently used clubs when hitting the ball. Therefore, you only need to start with the P-pole first. After that, it will be more handy to practice other clubs.

The importance of the correct grip for playing

Grip is closely related to hitting a good shot, but many beginners often overlook this important part. Basically if you force the ball with the wrong fingers, you will be hitting the ball with the wrong arm muscles. In addition, holding the club too hard will cause muscle stiffness, not only there is no distance, but also the reaction force of the club head hitting the ground will be directly transmitted to the arm, resulting in the injury of golf elbow.

Basic golfing posture

The right way to hit the ball is the only way to get a good score. However, some people hit the ball incorrectly, and sometimes they hit the ball wrongly and get a good score, thinking that it must be right. As everyone knows, the incorrect batting posture has already planted the wrong factors. Even if a lot of practice can be maintained every day, the results will fluctuate up and down, and the gap between good and bad is very large. What's more, there are concerns about sports injuries.

Find the movement and state of mind that works for you

Everyone's body shape is different, so it is not easy to learn golf just by borrowing two or three teaching books for training. And some people even more conservatively think that they are playing healthy balls and never care about the negative thoughts of scores, so they cannot appreciate the profoundness of golf. Golf is a sport that competes with oneself and never stops until the goal is achieved. The most important thing is to learn the basics of basic movements, practice more, experience, store, and accumulate experience is the way to get started.

All in all, to cultivate the correct sports concept and exercise habits, find out the suitable swing skills, understand the reasons for the mistakes of the swing ball and the high and low trajectory, and learn to be your own golf teacher, you need more confidence and patience to overcome the psychological level. Influence is the most important start for a learner.

Golf Holiday Booking Surge In UK

Recently, Golf Travel Centre reported that the site's interest increased by 3005% compared to the same period last year, indicating that British golf  is entering a period of prosperity.

According to the data collected on the website from 2019 to 2020, the number of Britons who played a round of golf rose from 2.9 million to 5.2 million.

Even more encouraging is that in these data, the number of new female golfers increased from 400,000 to 1.46 million.

It is always encouraging to see such a large increase in the number of participants in golf, and the "Golf Travel Center" has given some suggestions to these new golfers.

Their core advice is to find a local professional coach, take some golf lessons, and be patient. Golf is not the kind of sport that you can learn and succeed immediately.

The popular website also disclosed data: British golfers searching for Spanish golf resort information rose by 814%, while golfers searching for Portuguese golf resort information rose by 472%.

With the loosening of border restrictions on European travel, it is obvious that more and more golfers want to seize the opportunity, and the "Golf Travel Center" is very happy that people's interest in sports has greatly increased.

The website also reported that the number of British golfers searching for "female beginners, surrounding golf courses" has increased by 150%, which further confirms that female golf is booming.

"From a national perspective, we spent thousands of pounds and countless hours on the court to improve our skills, participate in social interactions, and stay active at all times," said Patrick McCaffer, general manager of the "Golf Travel Center". 

"In the past two years, the epidemic has affected all sports. It is refreshing and great to see the increase in golf interest. Golf is a gift from God to many people who want to get out of the air, breathe fresh air, and stay active, because they can maintain social distancing at the same time.

"I hope you follow our advice and get your handicap very quickly. I believe that most of you will have fun by participating in this sport that all of us love."

Vietnam Voted As The World's Best Golf Destination 2021

According to a recent report on the "Vietnam Express" website, at the World Golf Grand Prix held in Dubai at the end of October this year, Vietnam was named the best golf destination in the world and Asia in 2021. This is not only the second year that Vietnam has been recognized as the world's best golf destination, but also the fifth consecutive year that it has won the "Best of Asia" award.

The World Golf Awards aims to recognize and reward countries and regions that have performed outstandingly in golf tourism. As an important part of the former, the Asia Best Golf Destination Award has been selected once a year since 2014 and is regarded as the most prestigious awards in the field .

According to the report, compared with other golf destinations such as the United States, New Zealand, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and so on, Vietnam has a first-class golf service infrastructure that meets international standards and has won praise from many golfers.

The organizer of the event said that although the difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have affected the entire tourism industry, especially the golf industry, this year's World Golf Awards still received a record number of votes from golfers around the world.

Data from the Vietnam Professional Golf Association shows that in 2018, more than 70,000 people in the country used golf as a leisure sport, far exceeding the 10,000 in 2009. Currently, Vietnam has more than 30 golf courses, many of which have reached international standards.

Why is golf recognized as a rich person's sport

 The entry-barrier for golf is very high. The construction cost of golf courses is very expensive. First, the choice of site consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Second, asking the designer to design a suitable golf course according to the venue is very expensive. Then there are the maintenance of the venue, the salary of the caddies, the coach, the maintenance and renovation of the service facilities, and the exclusive services of VIP members, etc. Not to mentions the great operating profit aimed by the investors.

Golf is a sport that we salary men have seen in many TV dramas and many high-end business men talk about business affairs on golf courses. It seems that this sport is a sport played by the rich persons.

The following will analyze in detail the reasons why golf is expensive.

1. The golf course is very large (everyone knows this). Furthermore, golf courses are generally built in economically developed areas. So it is not an easy job to build a golf course in an expensive place.

2. There are two ways to enter the golf course. One is to apply for a membership card (bosses' choice). The membership fee is something most people cannot afford. The other is to find a third party to help book the venue (compared to the membership registration, it is more economical, but also very expensive). For those who just want to experience it, this is enough.

3. The cost of the ball equipment is high. The equipment is also one of the reasons to dissuade many people. Although the wear rate of golf equipment is not very high, it will definitely need to be replaced after a few years. The price of replacing a batch is beyond my imagination.

How to learn to play golf

How to learn to play golf

Golf has become one of the world's most popular fashion sports. It has been called the "green opium", which shows that its influence is not small. Of course, I believe there are still many people who don't understand golf, so today let's follow the below four steps:

How to play golf for beginner golfers: Grip ---- Standing ---- Address ---- Swing 

Grip 

1. Overlapping grip is the most commonly used grip method, because it can better maintain the sense of unity of the two hands and facilitate the control of the balance between the left and right hands. Generally, people with large palms, long fingers, and strong power Use this grip method. 

2. The natural grip is also known as the baseball grip. As the name suggests, it is like holding a baseball stick with the left and right hands to hold the club with ten fingers. The little finger of the right hand touches the index finger of the left hand. 

3. Interlocking grip method In the interlocking grip method, the little finger of the right hand is not stacked over the gap between the index finger and middle finger of the left hand, but inserted between the index finger and middle finger of the left hand, and the hook locks the index finger.

Standing posture

1. Before standing, you should look at the target direction from the back of the ball, look for a mark on the target line, and determine the line between the ball and the mark, which is the flying direction of the ball.

2. Determine the positional relationship between the ball and the foot, and draw a line perpendicular to the flying direction of the ball from the position of the ball. Normally, the left heel is close to the line. Stand with your feet close together across the line, with your left toe slightly set aside, and your left heel close to the line.

3. Move the center of gravity to the left foot, and appropriately step out the right foot to the right according to the club used to complete the stance action. As for the width of the stance and the distance to the ball, they are not fixed, but they should vary with the physical condition of the player and the club used.

Address

1. Relax your body, concentrate your mind, take one or two deep breaths, and hold the bar.

2. According to the club used, determine the distance between the ball and the foot, gently step on the foot to adjust the posture, and keep the feet stable.

3. Bend both elbows, raise the club to the front of the body, rotate both hands to the right, and check the grip of the middle finger and ring finger of the right hand. Turn left again and check the grips of the middle finger, ring finger and little finger.

4. Lower your arms and extend them so that the club head is directly behind the ball, the club face is facing the direction of the ball, and the bottom of the club head touches the ground lightly.

5. Bend your arms and buckle slightly inward, tilt your upper body slightly forward, keep your head and neck straight, relaxed, and look at the ball.

6. Gently shake the head of the club. In order to make the swing more smooth, gently swinging the club head from side to side before starting to swing will help relax the tension of the muscles of the whole body and concentrate on the energy.

Swing
