I just took one lesson at the driving range, and the instructor was nice enough to give me a used golf club. Even though, it allows me to practice after my lesson, it is old and worn out, and may even affecting my performance. How am I to pick out a driver that is “right” for me?

I am getting my first golf lesson on Saturday. The club’s pro will be giving both my son and I a joint lesson. Should I tip him, and if so, what percentage?

Also, the clubs I have are 20 years old but barely used. The bag, however, is leather, has no stand, and is extremely heavy even tho it’s in excellent condition. Should I invest in a new, lightweight stand bag, and if so, where can I buy a decent long-lasting one that won’t cost too much?

Thanks.

My girlfriends Dad wants me to teach him how to play golf, he’s about 50 years old and only been to the range once or twice and wasn’t very good. But he wants ME to teach him instead of getting lessons. I’ve been playing golf since I was 12 and I’m now 23 so I have a few years under my belt but I’ve never taught anyone how to play golf before. Where do I start with this guy and is there a website,book,video or anything I can give him to get him started on his own first and then work some helpful tips into the equation. I know playing on the course is the best practice you can get but he’s not ready for that yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m basically a beginner at playing golf,and I would like to get into it, I have hit a few on the range but I would like to take a few lessons from a PGA pro. Would it be better to take lessons from those simulators that you see at your local golf outlets? or would I better off with an instructor on the course

Pet Cpr Training

Yodle asked:


A hole in the wall can arise from many different situations.  Most of them involve stupid, adolescent boys throwing each other into said walls.  This usually results in a panicked, covert operation to fix the wall, most likely involving duct tape and wallpaper swatches.  While that is a remarkably stupid way to try and fix the wall, you’ll be surprised at how easy fixing a hole in drywall can actually be.  A trip to the hardware store, or your dad’s tool shed, can really save your ass.

What is it?

Hole repair will oftentimes refer to repairing a hole made in drywall, which is the material most commonly used in household walls.  You always have the option of contacting a painting and decorating contractor, who, besides specializing in drywall repair, will usually have skills related to wallpaper hanging, wood staining, and painting.  It may be worth your while to go with a contractor if you’re dealing with a rather large hole (like, if you can stick your head through it).  But, smaller holes can fixed in a variety of different ways on your own time.

Nowadays, you have the option of purchasing metal mesh repair patches which are designed to cover up small holes made in drywall.  Basically, you’ll measure the hole, buy an appropriately sized metal patch to correspond with the hole, and then peel and stick the patch to the wall.  From there you’ll need some sort of wallboard joint compound which should be spread, ideally with a wallboard taping knife, in two to three layers over the patch.  After it dries, sand the area with a sanding block or drywall sanding screen.  Once the area is smooth to your satisfaction, prime the repaired area and paint using a roller.

Another solution to hole repair would be using metal clips, which allow you to screw a squared piece of drywall patch into the hole.  This will prevent you from having to cut the drywall all the way back to the studs.  Of course, that is always an option too, and generally results in the strongest repair.  However, cutting the drywall back to the studs is a longer process than the previous two and actually involves making the hole wider before repairing it.

Who needs it?

Are you a real hothead who drinks High Life in the basement and mutters curse words while thinking of you ex-girlfriend or lacrosse coach?  If so, chances are you’ll be punching a few holes in the wall.  If I were you, I’d purchase a Home Depot credit card (unless you’re best friends with a decorating contractor- probably not).  Also, if you’re throwing a party while your parents are away, be cognizant of the fact that no one (not even your closest friends) will respect your house.  Holes will be made (and your parents’ bottle of expensive wine will be poured over some girl’s head).

If you don’t see yourself in those two categories, remember, accidents happen.  No one is safe from potentially causing a hole in the wall.  You’re all accountable!

Benefits

With the advent of metal mesh repair patches, hole repair has become a whole lot easier to manage.  It is by far the quickest way to repair a hole, with metal clips being the second fastest solution.  There are also many hole repair fix-it kits on the market that are relatively cheaper than the cost of hiring a contractor.

Risks

While metal patches are the simplest way to fix a hole, it should be noted that it is not a replacement for drywall.  Therefore, it’s an aesthetic solution, so be conscious of the fact that if your mom tries to hang a picture in the spot where the patch is, you’ll have some explaining to do.  Be aware that though metal patches and metal clips are the quickest solutions, they are not the sturdiest alternatives.

It should also be noted that when using metal patches, do not substitute spackle for a wallboard joint compound, as they are not quite the same.  Spackle is thicker and will not spread easily, which will result in a poor repair job.

The bottom line

With small holes, it may be worth it to try and circumvent contractor’s fees by doing a little handiwork of your own.  Just be aware, this will involve the use of some specialized tools and products, which may or may not be cheap themselves.  It really depends on what the situation is.  But one thing is for sure- if you’re a dumbass kid trying to hide a hole from the folks, shoot for the metal patches.

I have been playing golf for about 3 years now and I have regressed. I cannot hit my irons at all. I either hit it fat or shank really bad. I have contemplated going to Golf-Tec, or my local golf course to seek a professional. I have also thought about individual teachers and online. Lastly I thought about buying videos. Any thoughts?
