2. EQUIPMENT Golfer: Beth-Ann C.
Asked:

This is for my son's 7th grade science project: Do expensive golf balls
travel farther? We found out that the more dimples they have the farther
they might go. But is it worth buying more expensive balls?

3. MENTAL SIDE Golfer: TOM B.
Asked:

I"VE BEEN PLAYING 9 YEARS AND THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE BEEN IMPROVING BUT
ON THE RANGE WHILE PRACTING, THE FIRST 45 TO 50 BALLS ARE NICE SHOTS
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I AM LEAVING THE CLUB FACE WIDE OPEN AND SQUIRTING
BALLS OFF THE THE RIGHT. I TRY TO CORRECT IT BUT ONCE IT STARTS GOING
BAD I AM DONE FOR THE DAY. ANY IDEAS AS TO WHAT CAUSES THIS AND WHAT TO
DO TO CORRECT OR PREVENT I STUDY THE SWING ALOT AND WORK HARD ON
IMPROVING

4. NUTRITION Golfer:
Joyce H.

Asked:

Physical - Nutrition: What is better for a
50+female golfer - yoga or

cardio and nautilus or both? How often?
What is the best nutritious meal

to eat prior to a tournament? Carb
loaded or protein also. Gatorade?

5. RULES Golfer: colin j.
Asked:

who is responsible for working out a players points score in stableford
competitions. Is it the player, the marker or the committee ?

6.SWING FUNDAMENTALS Golfer: Jake P.
Asked:

I am having serious issues with my iron shots, as every shot is being
pushed left... far left. It is not that I hit a bad hook, rather, the
ball is flying left directly from the hit. One issue may be that my
irons are too short for my height (6'3"), but I haven't always had this
problem with my shots. Any thoughts? Thanks.

7. BIO-MECHANICAL Golfer: Shena M.
Asked:

I'M DOING A SENIOR PROJECT ON GOLF AND I HAVE TWO QUESTION THAT I HAVE
ANALZYE BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THEM NOWHERE ON THE INTERNET,SO I TURN
TO ASK YOU GUYS... MY QUESTION ARE: HOW DOES ELBOW EXTENSION AFFECT THE
PUTT AND MY SECOND ON IS HOW DOES METACARPALS CONTRACTION AFFECT THE
PUTT.

8. Golfer Marcus T. Asked:

I played golf with a buddy of mine and noticed while he was chipping he was
holding his club near the end of his club. (holding the shaft). I wanted to know
if you are supposed to choke up beyond the grip of the club? I thought your hand
should always be on the grip.
