If you are only just beginning to learn the game of golf then the last thing you want is bad weather. After all it is difficult enough to get the basics down in good weather. Now throw some bad weather in and it's even more difficult.

im a lefty in golf just starting to play. ive got clubs so im fine about that. i want to know though,how do i get more arc on my shot and how do i keep the clubhead straight?
Of course it is always easier said than done.
But basically this:
First, in order to achieve a higher ball trajectory (or actually the maximum for any particular club) the clubface MUST make contact with the ball on the "sweet spot" (usually the center) of the clubface. This is better done by hitting DOWN on the ball as opposed to "picking" it cleanly off the ground. Hitting DOWN on the ball takes a lot of practice!
Secondly, keeping the clubhead straight (facing your target) on ball contact means that on your downswing, you need to unhinge (i.e. release) you wrists and have your hands roll (i.e rotate) over to complete your swing. During this process (i.e. your DOWNSWING), it’s the TIMING of rolling your hands (and wrists) that alignes your clubhead to your target.
If you are LATE with rolling your hands over, the clubface will be "open" and the result will be a "push" or a "slice" or BOTH.
If you roll your hands over TOO EARLY, the clubface will be "closed" and this results in a "pull" or a "hook" or BOTH!
Anyway, my handicap index has been rising, so I’m definitely no expert! But I know what I’m SUPPOSED to do…
I have played golf seriously for a year and a half now. I started with the TaylorMade Super Steel Burners that I hit occasionally through High School. I quickly outgrew them. I then moved up to the Titleist 775CB and have played them for about a half a year. I play over one hundred and fifty rounds in a year so this question doesn’t concern not having adjusted to the clubs, but every time I hit the Titleist I hit a fade that lands about ten yards to the left (I’m left handed) every time. I am looking for a set of irons that provide more of a straighter trajectory and more forgiveness because I don’t need all the workability of my 775’s and I feel that I’m just not ready for them quite yet. So my question is has anyone else had this problem and found the Mizuno MX-25/MX-200 to help cure it. I have a hard time finding places to demo left handed irons with my preferred shafts so I thought I would ask for help on here. Any help is greatly appreciated. My average score is around 80-82.
The simple answer to this question is this: no matter what clubs you are playing, if they are not fit to your swing, you will have a hard time hitting them the way you want to. The fade you are getting with the Titleist’s could be caused by your lie angles being too flat. If you hit them well (other than the fade) and like them, just take them to your local club maker or golf shop and have your lie angles checked. If they need to be adjusted, it’ll only cost around $30 and you’ll be hitting the ball much straighter. If you still think you want new clubs, make sure you get them fitted to you no matter what brand they are. With properly fitted clubs, I bet you’d be shooting in the 70’s easily. One club to consider is the Callaway X-20 or X-20 Tour if you’re bent on getting a new set. The standard X-20 is more forgiving and easier to hit a draw with, while the Tour version has less offset and is more workable. Either way, they are great clubs. If you’ve never tried them, I think you would prefer them over the Mizuno’s. Just my two cents. Good luck.
Driving on the left is correct for right-handed people the great majority, here is why:
When changing gear in a UK car with the steering wheel on the right , this is of course correct in the UK etc for driving on the left——–your left hand changes gear and your right hand stays on the steering wheel, (this is safer for right handed people.)
The reverse is the case in countries where one must drive on the right.– in other words if you live in the USA you hold the steering wheel with your left hand and change gear with your right hand because of course the steering wheel is on the left in the USA——–this is dangerous if you are right handed.
Bicycles: Bike riders are in real danger in countries where driving on the right is mandatory again assuming you are right handed—-Try mounting a bike in the USA and you will find yourself in the stream of traffic when getting on the bike—- try it yourself———: Mounting a bike in the UK is done from the sidewalk by right handed people who find it easier to put their right leg over the bike. , Much safer and this must have saved many lives.
Reversing up a steep drive: My drive in the UK is very steep———-when I reverse out I hold the steering wheel with my right hand and look over my left shoulder to the rear window. In a USA car you must hold the steering wheel with your left hand and look over your right shoulder to look out of the rear window.. So you must reverse with your left hand on the steering wheel.. Or stick your head out of the window if you want to use your right hand on the steering wheel. —Dangerous for the 82% right handed majority.
Right handed people who are also "right eyed" have the traffic coming toward them on their right in left hand driving areas , which is the way "right eyed" people are able to react better. When overtaking on a right hand driving USA road the right eyed/handed driver looks in the mirror with the left eye and also views the oncoming traffic with the left eye. A change of gear is sometimes needed to overtake so he/she is driving left handed while changing gear with the right hand and looking in the mirror and oncoming traffic with the left eye. Of course the gear change should in theory be completed before pulling out but this in practice is not always the case. The prevalence of automatic gear change in the USA may not be just luxury after all but necessity
Part Time Cynic, I recommend you read at least the "right eyed" part several times, also try shooting a rifle using the opposite side to the one you normally use.. My details are not a “rant” they are an explanation aimed at open minded people. This is supported by science and the article is based on a UK New Scientist readers letter from a UK scientist who was working on the subject .
This is no "rant" it needs an explanation and your use of "rant" indicates a state of denial
CLIVE H, I like your answer refering to mounting a horse from the wrong side which driving on the right makes one do.
Of course the same applies to modern people mounting a bycycle.It is dangerous for people to mount a bike while standing in the trafffic stream, this is one of the main reasons why driving on the left is correct for most people.
JetDoc,I have provided the proof, please feel free to read it
http://uk.geocities.com/chris.davison@btinternet.com/Driving.htm
hotdogseeksbun, please show me a link or some proof about left handed people in the states having more collisions. I do not believe it is true. Left handed people drive on the right in the USA and this is the correct side for them but not for the right handed majority
hotdogseeksbun. Please read the whole article, the facts are there. Do one of the tests for example:
Try using a rifle but sighting through the opposite eye to the one you normally use
Or try another, try getting on a bicycle from the opposite side to the one you normally use, take care though you could easily fall.
I am sorry to say that your government is keeping this from your education system because it is a gigantic mistake to drive on the right for right handed people, meaning most people.
The above comment was for JetDoc
JetDoc, The explanation is in the link I provided, this is hard facts. Simply read the explanation
JetDoc, The explanation is in the link I provided, this is hard facts. Simply read the explanation
Fred C, at least you admit you have to be taught to lift your left leg over a bicycle if you are in the right handed majority, so we are making some progress; we do not need that teaching because we mount a bicycle from the UK side walk. I ask you again to try a rifle from the other side. "Right eyed" and "left eyed” has nothing to do with “how you were taught” it is natural instinct to use left or right and this is determined by the brain before birth , I guarantee whoever taught you to shoot never mentioned which eye to use. I am not writing "baloney" it I simply use established information from experiments.
I visit Canada often and I will give myself some amusement next time watching people getting onto bicycles and also driving at 70 mph using their left hand as they tune the radio.
You are right and it is about time the world was given the facts. It makes no sense to change gear with the right hand
People in L/H driving countries have known this for a long time. Napoleon was left handed and he caused this right handed driving disaster because it is better for left handed people to drive on the right.
Now governments in RH driving areas keep this a secret to avoid embarrassment.

I have been playing golf for about 3 years and have improved drastically over those 3 years. My biggest goal is to play college golf somewhere in the south, preferably North Carolina. Currently I shoot about an 88 on 18 and have an average drive of 240. The weakest area of my game is my short game. I am starting to play in lots of tournaments as the spring nears. Academically I am set, I hold a 3.7 and take a heavy load of honors and AP courses. Is there anything else I need to be doing? Also I am right handed and have had a reconstruction surgery and cartilage revision surgery done on my left knee. Will that make it harder for me to get a scholarship?
At the moment you are a stroke per hole too high to even consider playing college golf. Enter all the tournaments for juniors, be competitive and win a few. Enter all the state tournaments and see what you will be needing to compete. Then decide of you have the talent. Then see which southern schools offer golf scholarships.
