Learning From the Tiger-Phil Flap

June 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Now that the hullabaloo over Phil Mickelson’s comments about Tiger Woods’ golf equipment have died down, let’s see if there’s anything recreational golfers can learn from the episode.
Yes … yes, there is.
That lesson can be summed up in the old golf saying: Drive for show, putt for dough. If Tiger is the epitome of that axiom, then – if only in this instance – Lefty represents the beer-guzzling weekend hacker who only cares about distance. Nevermind the score, our hacker will still brag every time one of his drives soars past yours.
Another golfer you might have heard of, Jack Nicklaus, played one of the shortest shafted golf clubs= http://www.onlinegolfwholesale.com/category-19-b0-TaylorMade.html  on Tour during his prime.
That’s a pretty good argument for placing at least as much emphasis on control as on distance. And there are ways for recreational golfers to increase their odds of keeping a ball in the fairway:
• When choosing a driver, or if having irons customized, add loft. More loft equals more control.
• Take an inch or more off the shaft length of your driver. The closer you are to the ball, the more control you’ll have.
• Consider dumping your long irons in favor of utility clubs. Utility golf clubs for sale was born of the need for clubs that produce long-iron distance while being easier for the average player to hit.
• Don’t hit driver off of every tee. Pull out a 3-wood or 2-iron. Lee Trevino has been quoted as saying that most amateurs would be better off if they never carried a driver even Taylormade R9 Driver.  Most of all, work on adding accuracy to your game. Consult your local pro or seek out tips from golf Web sites and publications.
The fact is that for all the advances in distance golf clubs, recreational players have not been helped. Handicaps have dropped just a fraction over the past 15 years.
If you want to go the distance with your golf game, control has to get equal billing.
