During a round of golf you may find yourself in a situation where you need to either curve the ball or hit it low to avoid hitting trees or other obstacles. Here are some tips to help you get out of these situations.
It’s important that you always accelerate through the shot. It will take a bit of power to get the club to go under the ball and through the sand. Slowing down the club face through impact is a sure way of NOT getting the ball out of the sand.
As everyone knows not all golfers are the same size or have the same build. Therefore, the “set up”, otherwise known as the “starting position”, is going to be different for everyone. What everyone doesn’t know is that the main goal to the golf swing is to create a repetitive motion.
For golfers of all skill levels, one of the easiest ways to knock strokes off your score is to improve your chipping from around the greens. Chipping the ball close can help you save par and lower your scores. When approaching a shot close to the green, the first thing you should do is decide what type of shot you are going to play. The three most common types of chip shots are the bump and run, pitch shot, and lob shot or flop shot.
Putting has always and will always be the key to shooting a good score in a round of golf. However, little to no time is put into practicing this aspect of the game especially in the early season.

Over the last two weeks I've thought a lot about women and the sport of mountain biking, especially after reading two articles - one by mountain bike racer Emily Beaty, the other by Mitchell Scott on Pinkbike.com. I also realized that yes, I'm a bit of a princess AND a mountain biker.. and that's okay.
