I manufacture a product that has been well received by tournament sponsors and I would like to broaden my reach to these sponsors and anyone that purchases merchandise (tee prizes/give aways) for golf tournaments. What is the best way to obtain e-mail addresses for tournament organizers?

What is meant by when some asks about your golf handicap?

I just started golfing this year. I have pretty much learned most on my own by watching videos and practicing. I took a golf class in college with the hopes of learning about the game, but when I got to the class there wasn’t even an instructor. The class consisted of just going to a gym and hitting balls into a net for 30 minutes.

How is the par and toughness decided for a hole in a Golf course?

How is this decided considering that no two golf courses are alike?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
Thanks Jason. But there are 2 parts to my question. How is the toughness decided (Is it just based on the bunkers, trees and water or also the terrain and weather)?

Just to make my first question clearer: Is it just the yardage (how far a golfer can hit) that determines the par?

Why did professional golf stake so much of its revenues on Tiger Woods?

Posted on Sunday, 1st August 2010 in Golf

They invested way too much with one man.

If you look at the income-generation and TV revenues of tournaments with Tiger Woods, they are up to 66% higher than tournaments without Tiger Woods.

That is an enormous gap that was not seen before the late 90’s.

Why hasn’t professional golf built up other stars and personalities who have similar popularity to Tiger Woods? Why has pro golf simply dumped all of its publicity resources onto Tiger, and let the other guys go unnoticed?

This would protect them from downturns when Tiger isn’t on the course.

I know a golf ball will lose distance at sea level versus an inland course. Is there a percentage loss at sea level versus lets say a golf ball hit at a course that is 1000 ft above sea level. Is that 2% 4% 6%? Anyone know the percentage loss?

I cant see myself going to any other school besides the University of Maryland. Maybe I am in the wrong frame of mind but the only way i can afford it is to get a golf scholarship. I am a sophomore in high school and a 9 handicap. I am planning on playing in tournaments all summer as well as my next two summers before heading of to a college. How well do I have to shoot in these tournaments and how low does my handicap have to be??

I’m 6′7″ and I’m wondering if standard length golf clubs will work or if I need to have clubs custom made. If i need custom clubs, what might I be looking at to have those made.

How would you structure the learning environment when teaching older ladies to golf?

I have to teach a bunch of older ladies to golf, specifically how to long drive. There are a couple of them who are far sighted. How would you structure the learning environment so there will be no distractions when teaching them?
