Who Said Golfing Was Relaxing

I used to throw my golf clubs into the trunk of my car, drive to the course, hit a few practice putts on the green and then tee off. Five hours later I would be cursing and swearing to myself about how terrible my game was, how my clubs were to blame or the weather was not suited to my game that day. Then, I would repeat the whole process again a week later, just counting down the hours until I was back out of the course.

This was my time for me, away from all the pressures and stresses of my everyday world. The one place where I could go and relax for a few hours with the guys. That was, until I started paying attention to all of the golfing magazines, the golf shows on television and the club displays that were in my pro shop. After all, what could it hurt to take a look at some of the new golf equipment that was out there and maybe shave a couple of strokes off my game.

The first item I thought I would change was my golf ball. Big mistake. Do you realize just how many different balls there are out there now? There must be hundreds, if not thousands. There is at least 20 golf balls designed for each aspect of your game. Ones for curves, slices, hooks, backspin, high flight, low flight and on and on. And who really cares just how many dimples there are on a golf ball. And what about compression ratio's? What the heck is that all about?

Once you do finally decide on a new ball then you begin to think about new golf clubs. The world of clubs has now evolved into a very sophisticated and technical process. The selection is enormous and the price range is simply outrageous. You can purchase a simple department store driver for $40.00 or a top of the line driver from one of the Big Three for up to $800.00. It would take a complete novel to write about and explain all the new clubs that are available today. With the ever expanding availability of golf equipment to help make the game easier and more relaxing, it has in fact created the opposite effect, at least for this writer.
