The Most Common Golf Problem Is?
The most common problem beginners have playing golf would surely be the slice shot. This is where the ball curves through the air from left to right assuming the player is right-handed.
The flight of the golf ball is determined by the spin of the ball and a slice is caused by the ball spinning clockwise thereby causing it to travel in a clockwise arch.
The most common reason why this happens is people tend to lift their head when they strike the ball. The action of lifting the head causes the face of the club to hit across the ball and not through it. By hitting across the ball, you are essentially hitting the ball from the outside in and this is the action that causes the ball to spin clockwise.
If you tend to slice the ball try to keep your head down until after you have hit the ball. By keeping your head down, and your eye on the ball to the point of contact you will play through the ball and your swing will remain straight, which will cause the ball to follow a straight path. Keep your head down until after the ball has taken flight keeping your head and shoulders solid.
Another reason why you will get slice shots is by trying to hit the ball too hard. In doing so you could be using your arms to pull the club in and this will also cause it to spin. By hitting for less distance you can concentrate on getting the correct swing and playing for accuracy rather than length. Try reducing your swing with these smaller shots to see if this starts to correct the problem.
As you begin to hit straighter you can begin to increase the length of your back swing and go for more distance. Concentrate on accuracy first and distance follows. That is a good rule to always play by.

Time for a Golf Vacation?
Planning A Senior Golf Vacation

Many senior golf players enjoy getting away by planning a golfing vacation. Whether you play golf regularly or just once and awhile, a golf vacation is a great way to relax and enjoy the outdoors just like the pros. The senior golf pros play golf for many of the same reasons the amateurs do, they love the game and enjoy traveling to new golf courses. The more you play and learn, the better you become at playing. Understanding what clubs to use and when is also important.
A travel agent or an online travel site will be a good place to start if you are planning a senior golf vacation. You want to find a course that offers a challenge as well as some great people to meet. You might even consider playing a game at some the courses where the pros give lessons or play a leisurely round of golf just like you. You can look through brochures or websites to see exactly where to plan your next golfing vacation.
When you plan a golfing vacation, you usually find a package deal that includes hotel accommodations, golfing and other related rewards to your vacation. You might even enjoy a day of lessons from some pros. Senior golf is an enjoyable sport that sees no age limit as do some other sports. This sport is for all ages, the more you play the better you get, and with a few good tips, you gradually improve your game.
