I'm surprising my boyfriend by coming to his golf tournament but having never been to one I have no idea what to wear. I'm a small town, country girl and I don't own any khakis. I normally wear boots and jeans and I don't want to be too far out of my comfort level.|||Go to a costume shop and get a yellow banana suit.
Peanut butter jelly time!|||It depends on what kind of golf tournament it is. If he plays as a pro, it'll be a pretty strict dress code, when I go to one like that or a PGA tour tournament, I wear khaki pants, a collared shirt, and tennis shoes or my golf shoes (don't ask me why I do that it's for luck), but if he's in high school or college, it's usually fine for the spectators to wear jeans and a nice shirt, or even shorts if they are not too short, but no tank tops. Hope this helps!|||jeans would be fine with a nice collared shirt.

How much do you get paid working at a golf course?
The local golf club in my town is hiring for seasonal workers. I'm interested in being a receptionist there, or either a waitress. What position would make more money? Has anyone ever worked at a golf course before?|||The waitresses salary is augmented with the tips she will receive. Nobody tips a receptionist.|||I have managed 3 separate courses and have found that this can vary alot. More times than not a waitress is going to make more money than the receptionist but be aware at the difference in schedules. If working nights isnt your thing then I would go with the receptionist job. Also, another thing to consider is that the receptionist job will be a consistent pay where as the waitress job will vary depending on business. As always make sure you job choice is based on more than money or you will be dissapointed.|||well it's $3.00 below minimum wage, and dont worry because every golf club in america has the same exact pay. hope i helped|||For sure waitress will make way more. It's all about the tips. Plus, the nicer the course, the bigger the tips.|||Most likely the waitress job will pay more. At least at the courses I have worked at were like this.|||i work at a country club and it all a varys like the cartboys get paid $8, the waiters get $10, and so on but all golf course are different in every area|||I'd say a waitress will make more money than a receptionist.|||waitress..my friend works at a golf course and she makes over $100-200 in tips
How can you perform well during golf tournaments?
I am going to be a sophomore in high school next year and i am an 8 handicap. I have been playing in a lot of junior tournaments and i haven't been quite playing to the best of my ability during those tournaments. And its not because i am nervous because i am never nervous. Can anyone give me some advice on how to perform well in golf tournaments?|||I personally don't believe that you can't be nervous at all! I think everybody, including professional golfers, gets a little bit nervous. I don't know what else to say other than keep playing in tournaments. Or maybe when playing casual rounds with friends, start making bets on those rounds of golf. So that way, you get used to playing under pressure.|||Hi,
I am just like you. I'm 14 and in alot of junior golf tournaments. The front nine I might go out and shoot a 40 which is good for me. But then last week on my 10th hole I hit a horrible hook and i had to take a drop. I ended up getting an 8 on the hole which ruined my whole mindset. I ended up shooting a 51. So the reason why Tiger is so good is because he can forget about the 1 shot he hit bad and still try and make it up. He doesn't carry his anger on which would end up ruining the rest of his round. He forgets about that shot and trys to make up for it.
I hope this info helped.|||Hello, I would recommend that you read a book called ZEN GOLF it helped me a lot!

What is the best brand of golf clubs in terms of quality?
I'm looking to buy some new golf clubs in the near future and I was wondering what brands I should look into.|||Mizuno's are probably the best. Good luck.|||Ooooh.....I'd have to say..... Callaway or TaylorMade xx|||There isn't specifically a best brand but some good ones are Nike.Ping,Taylormade,titleist,Callaway, Mizuno and Srixon.|||Depending your handicap...high...Titleist AP-1, Callaway X-22...moron clubs. Mid...Bridgestone J36 pocket cavity, Mizuno MP-52's or 57's. Low...the best buy is Macgeagor pro-cb or cm @ golfsmith, $349...reg $899,. Nike forged cavity, Mizuno, Titleist AP-2. I'm not a Taylormade iron fan. get them before 2010, as, all will have v-grooves after 2009...they suck!|||Depends on what you want to spend
I would certainly suggest you have a look at KZG for your irons
www.kzgolf.com
They make GREAT Irons that blow away the standard brands like
Wilson, Callaway, Taylormade and Nike etc.
They are not that expensive really either considering what you are getting for your money
I play the Tour Evolution irons and they blow away ALL of the above
For your woods
I would suggest Tour Edge
www.touredge.com
They make AWESOME Drivers and 3 Woods
Check out the Exotics XCG-V driver and 3 wood
I hit an older exotics driver and it's brilliant ...I have been told the
XCG-V is even better
They also make fabulous Hybrids
One company that has gone out of business recently...although you may still be able to source some of their clubs is SONARTEC
They made outstanding fairway woods
I hit their 3 %26amp; 5 woods
The 3 wood is the longest straightest 3 wood I have ever hit
None of those companies actually pay Tour pros to play their clubs but you would be very surprised to know who actually does|||http://youandgolf.blogspot.com/|||Each company has higher and lower end clubs, in general it is personal preference but taylormades are a personal favourite

Why did professional golf stake so much of its revenues on Tiger Woods?
They invested way too much with one man.
If you look at the income-generation and TV revenues of tournaments with Tiger Woods, they are up to 66% higher than tournaments without Tiger Woods.
That is an enormous gap that was not seen before the late 90's.
Why hasn't professional golf built up other stars and personalities who have similar popularity to Tiger Woods? Why has pro golf simply dumped all of its publicity resources onto Tiger, and let the other guys go unnoticed?
This would protect them from downturns when Tiger isn't on the course.|||They don't know how to do that. Their only business model is "ride the cash cow till he dies. Then resuscitate him, and keep on riding". They found out how bad they were when TW was injured for the last half of '08, and they STILL didn't learn anything. It's like some kind of weird denial thing.
It doesn't help that fair-weather fans (not true golf fans, but Tiger-only fans) and most of the media crucify people that either have a negative opinion of Tiger, or aspire to be #1. Once the backlash subsides, they're basically saying "Screw it, I'll keep to myself" and that hurts everyone... but it's understandable. That's why it seems that there are so many robots on Tour... why say something, when either not enough people are going to care, or you might face some serious heat?|||You're completely off base.
Tim Finchem is tasked with growing the game economically for the PGA Tour...it's why he has a job.
When it became clear as day that Woods was a ratings-driver for the Tour, Finchem used that leverage in renegotiating contracts with the tv networks.
People like Woods for a myriad of reasons, and the PGA Tour doesn't exactly over-expose Woods because they don't have to.|||Simple, Tiger Woods played great golf and was exciting to watch. Plus he changed golf. Before all the people who played pro were overweight. Tiger was one of the first to workout and be fit, and thats why Tiger is a staple in the game of golf. Have you seen how many tourny winning putts he's had.|||You put your money where you get the best return.

How can you perform well during golf tournaments?
I am 14 and I need some tips on how to perform well in tournaments. I have been reading online about how to become mentally tough while playing golf but i would like some more advice. Can anyone help?|||My advice to you would be to try and relish the competition and the situation you find yourself in.
Everyone feels pressure when engaged in a competitive round, it is all a matter of how you deal with it.
Learn to revel in the situation and embrace your nervousness, when and not if you hit a poor shot, stay upbeat, put the poor shot out of your mind and try to think "Great, now I have the chance to get up and down from there!"
Tips for improvement.
1. Have a fixed, fast and repeatable pre shot routine.
2. Have a conservative strategy from the tee as this breeds a cocky and positive attitude when executing the shot.
"Conservative strategy = cocky Swing" Dr. Bob Rotella.
3. Don't let anything anyone else does or says effect you mental attitude on the course.
This is the toughest part.
4. Love to have the opportunity to compete as there are plenty of far, far worse things you could be being forced to do.
It's a privilege!
5. Get stuck in!
I hope you find this helpful.
Best of luck.|||There are two things that I find help me to improve my tournament play.
One is to have my fundamentals as tight as possible, so that I don't have to think about how I am hitting a shot, and just focus on where the best place is to put the ball. If I trust my short game, putting, etc. then I don't have to worry about if I can make it, I just hit the shot.
Also, I find that repetition of tournament-type stress in practice is the best way to keep my head in the game when I'm under pressure. I use different drills to simulate tournament play and try to induce that stress.|||Lie !
Not on the score card, but to yourself.
Mentally, you act different and the next shot goes wild because :
a) you think you are unbeatable or
b) you did terrible on the last shot.
So how do you not go wild?
Lie to yourself and make it business as normal when the pressures of the tournement are at their worse.|||My best advice would be to just relax and enjoy the game. When I was your age, I would end up putting more pressure on myself and it cost me strokes in tournaments. Once I stopped doing that, it helped me out alot. You have to trust yourself, your game, and let all of your practice pay off.
