Michelle Bery asked:
It is likely that we all have at least one obsessed golfer in our lives. For them golf is more than a hobby, it is an all consuming passion. When their birthday rolls around each year we naturally want to get them a golf related gift, but finding the perfect golf birthday gift can be a daunting task. Where do you turn to find the perfect golf birthday gift for the golfer who has everything?
Golfers are known to be pack rats who already have a garage full of clubs, balls, and all the newest gadgets. Fortunately, the golf market is always ripe with new products that might just be the perfect golf birthday gift! In your quest to find the perfect golf birthday gift, you might first want to talk to the people who know your golfer the best; their golf buddies. Golf buddies know more about your golfer’s game than anyone, and they surely know what gadgets and clubs they already have and what they would like to have. Some sage advice from friends could be the quickest way to find the perfect golf birthday gift.
If advice from golf buddies is hard to find, another way to find the perfect golf birthday gift is to go to your local pro shop. Pro shops are often free standing stores, but they are also located in the clubhouse of most golf clubs. On staff at any pro shop is a golf professional who is trained in helping golfers improve their games not only through lessons, but through proper equipment as well. Their expert advice can help anyone find the perfect golf birthday gift. Help the pro help you by telling them as much as you can about the golfer in your life. From the types of clubs they own, to the range of scores they shoot, all of this information can help the professional determine what would be the perfect golf birthday gift. Who knows, maybe the perfect golf birthday gift would be a gift certificate for golf lessons from the professional at the shop? No matter what you decide, expert advice can always help when you are looking for the perfect golf birthday gift.
Pro shops are a great option that provides expert service, but they often are lacking in selection and they can be expensive as well. When looking for the perfect golf birthday gift you might prefer the wider selection and lower prices that can be found at the large golf or sporting goods retailers. While the salespeople at these stores might not be golf professionals, they are usually avid golfers who can draw on their experiences in helping you find the perfect golf birthday gift. In addition to clubs and balls, these stores often have a wide selection of clothes and apparel that might make the perfect golf birthday gift.
If you still can not find the perfect golf birthday gift, then maybe the best choice would be a gift certificate to any of the shops and stores that you have visited. Or better yet, the perfect golf birthday gift might just be a gift certificate to play a round at a golf course that your golfer loves to play, or has never played! No matter what you decide, just know that the perfect golf birthday gift is out there, even if you are buying for a very well stocked golfer.

Never 3 Putt asked:
Would you spend the money to take lessons or just try and figure it out yourself with all of the free advise and videos available for free via the Internet?
I have been playing for a couple of years but still have the driver issues that I am having a hard time fixing. I have a hard time paying someone $100 hour for something I hope I could remedy myself. But fixing this issue (getting off the tee consistently would just make the game more enjoyable.

matt f asked:
I am going to start taking golf lessons soon, but one thing I am concerned with is whether to go to a facility that has a grass driving range, or one that only has turf. A friend of mine keeps telling me, you don’t play on turf, you shouldn’t practice on it. I agree, but golf lessons tend to be cheaper at places with turf only.

Max Johnson asked:
Your kids are getting to the age that they would like to start to play golf and you are wondering when to start a junior golf instruction program. Knowing when to start and how to find the right junior golf lessons for a child are crucial components to building an environment for your child to enjoy and succeed in the game of golf.
Begin by asking yourself, not your junior, some questions about what your motivation might be for getting their junior golf lessons. Four reasons that parents want junior golf lessons for their young child (under eleven) typically are the following:
Because of golf’s reputation for rules, fair play and self-policing, the parents have a genuine interest in seeing their children attempt to play the game.
A babysitting service, parents get a time out from their kids for a while.
Parents want to spend more time with their child and have decided that golf will be the vehicle to do this.
As so many do, parents feel that their children must be in as many activities as possible.
Whatever your reasons are for wanting your child to begin to play the game of golf, the important thing is to ensure the kids have fun and enjoy themselves. Golf is a great game that can teach your child many life skills and is a game they can play the rest of their life.
The most important thing to do is ask your child if playing golf is something that they would like to do. If the answer is no, do not push them to play. You do need to make sure that they understand the option is always open for them to play. It make take you asking multiple times and giving them the information they need to feel comfortable to begin playing the game.
Once your child decides that they do want to play golf here are some steps to take to get them started and to keep the game fun for them:
Begin with a real junior set of clubs. Many people think that by making a club shorter it will fit a junior golfer. This is NOT true. You need to find a company that specially and properly weights their junior golf clubs depending on the size of your child. In addition, you do not need to buy a whole set. Most companies will allow you to purchase junior clubs one at a time.
Find a qualified junior golf instructor. You can contact your local PGA Section or a local club or golf course either by phone or online. If a Certified PGA Professional is available in your area, he or she would be a good place to start.
Make sure that your series of junior golf lessons include sessions on the rules of golf as well as golf etiquette. Depending on their age, the rules and etiquette situations do not need to be deep in the heart of the rule book. It has always amazed me on what a child at any age can retain when they want to learn.
Your junior does not have to play a “real golf hole” to have fun. Make the putting green the goal. This is a good way for the younger junior golfers to get started and as it reads only count the shots that it takes to get to the green to determine a score.
The hole does not need to be the end of the hole. What does this mean? Some smaller juniors find it more fun to hit it into a bunker than onto a green.
This may seem counter-intuitive to many golf purists however, once you think about it, typically the bunkers are smaller than the putting greens. This can only make them better later. In addition, they LOVE to climb into the bunkers and this gives us a chance to teach bunker etiquette.

Findout Y asked:
I just moved to Mesa and want to pick up a new hobby. It seems like Arizona is huge on golf. I have never played golf before or even understand what it is. I would like to try it out. But where do I start? Does anyone know of any beginner’s classes on golf in Mesa that I can enroll in?
