Under Golf Vacations
Recently, I went on a little golf vacation to Montego Bay, Jamaica. I played golf everyday I was there. And the golf courses there were just breath taking. The four main golf courses in the area are Tryall, Half Moon Bay Golf Club, Cinnamon Hill, and the White Witch. The picture above is a picture of the signature hole on the White Witch golf course. It is the 17th hole. The White Witch is no doubt the most scenic golf course I have ever seen or even known of. On every hole, you get a beautiful view of the ocean. The one downside to the White Witch is it is extremely unforgiving. You need to hit a perfect shot almost every shot. One day I was there, I lost about a dozen golf balls. The other three courses, Tryall, Half Moon Bay Golf Club, and Cinnamon Hill are much more fair, forgiving courses. They are all pretty courses, but none of them compare to the White Witch’s views. Anyways, I highly suggest planning to go to Montego Bay, Jamaica for your next golf vacation!

Under Tips and Tricks
Recently, I went on a little golf vacation and played almost everyday. What I found was in many situations on par 4 holes, I was still lying 2 on the fairway. So it was going to be hard for me to make par. But then, my caddy started talking to me about how I could make par. She said to just think, “a chip and a putt”. And I stuck that quote right into my mind. It really helped me. After I got this quote in my mind and started thinking it, I made par on every single hole in which I had this specific situation. I have no idea why this helped so much, it just really did and I decided to share that with you. So just remember, a chip and a putt.

If you are in a situation where you need to change your golf spikes, you can pay someone to replace them for you, or you can replace them manually and save a little money. I have done this manually many times, and it is a pretty simple process. First, make sure the bottom of your shoe is clean of dirt, grass, gum, etc. Then, using a cleat wrench, unscrew the spike(s) you are replacing. Then, screw in your new spike(s) using your hands. Then, if the new spike(s) aren’t fully screwed in, finish screwing it in with a cleat wrench. As long as you follow this short, simple process, you will have your spike(s) replaced in no time!

Sometimes, you may have the choice between going to an executive golf course or just a regular golf course. There is a small difference between the two. An executive golf course, like a regular golf course, does have par 3’s, par 4’s, and par 5’s. But the holes are much shorter on the executive course compared to a regular course. The reason that they call it an executive golf course is so when executives go out to play a round, they can play much faster then if they went to a regular course. So if you want to play but you are on a tight schedule, I suggest going to an executive course. But if you are not on a time schedule, I would stick with going to the regular course.

Hooking the ball is different then slicing the ball. For right-handed golfers, when you hook the ball, your ball will spin to the left. But when you slice the ball, your ball will spin to the right. For left-handed golfers, it is basically the opposite. When you hook the ball, your ball will spin the the right, and when you slice the ball, your ball will spin left. These sorts of things are always good to know.

When you go out to play a round of golf with someone, after you finish, the person might ask you if you want to go to the 19th hole. Then you think to yourself, “Wait a minute, I thought there were only 18 holes on a golf course. What is the 19th hole?” Well, the 19th hole isn’t another hole on the course. When the person asks if you want to go to the 19th hole, he is referring to the drink and snack bar. Golfers just call it the 19th hole. They call it that because that’s where they go after finishing the 18th hole. So next time someone asks you the question, you will know exactly what they’re talking about. Hope this helped!

Lately, I have been using the Titleist DT Solo golf balls whenever I have gone out to play. First off, they have such a great fairway roll. So whenever I topped a ball, it would go much further than it would have with a different type of ball. And also, the DT Solo’s have a nice, soft feel at impact which I really liked. The one down side about the ball which I have not really noticed but others have is that the ball builds up a lot of spin. So they say it effects their distance on both fairway and driver shots. But actually, I feel as though my drive has gained some yardage ever since I started using this ball. Another great thing about these DT Solo’s is they are pretty inexpensive compared to their competitors prices. And I know everyone likes to save a little money here and there. But overall, the DT Solo is a very durable, quality golf ball that you can’t go wrong with using, and I highly recommend it to all types of golfers.
