What Golf Country Club in the Bellevue Washington Area is affordable for a family?

A. No. If you are looking for "affordable" then, stay in the twin cities. This is the equivalent of asking if you can find a affordable house on Lake of the Isles... Bellevue and Kirkland are the heart of the posh east side Seattle suburbs. Look to pay anywhere from 700K up to be close to a golf course. Microsoft & it's millionaires have driven up prices in the area. You might find affordable and golf course way out in the far northwest suburbs (Monroe, Snohomish) or the southwest suburbs (Black Diamond, Covington) - Then you are stuck with multi hour commutes each way to Seattle.

Does it really matter if golf clubs are old and worn? What are the good clubs for beginners?
Q. I'm wanting to buy a golf club set. I see clubs at the range I can use for free and one brand I remember is callaway. Is that a good brand? They have mostly worn golf clubs. I have played golf already and taken one semester class. I just don't think golf ranges would risk giving out good value clubs for people to borrow since people can easily steal them.
Asked by yair - Sun Dec 6 01:05:58 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Just use what you can for a while. Used clubs are good for beginners because they are much much cheaper and you don't have to worry about denting or dinging them like you would a set to 500 dollar clubs. After a while (6 months to a year or whenever you feel like your ready to move up) go to a pro shop and have your swing analyzed and see what a pro recommends for you. There are so many different clubs out there and everyone has their own preference so you really should spend a lot of money on a nice set without trying them out first to see how they feel and see if they fit your game. Hope that helps... Good luck!!

What type of golf clubs does a beginner need for a round of golf?
Q. I just finished up a golf class last week put on by ESPN in which they gave you a set of Nike Ignite clubs to get started, namely; 4-9 irons, pw, 3-hybrid and a putter. I added a cheap driver (which I'm planning on upgrading to a Nike Summo) and a Wilson 58 deg sand wedge as well. I have played the past two months with this set and feel that I may need more fairway clubs especially for the 5 pars. I'm getting mixed up between some saying I need a 3 and a 5 wood while others say I need 5, 7 and 9 wood.

A. The ideal set for the intermediate golfer would start with Game Improvement irons. You still need forgiveness but you'd also like a little more feel and control. If you tend to hit your irons well you might be ready to consider a regular 4 iron, otherwise stay with your hybrid 4. For your distance clubs add a little less loft on those fairway woods and hybrids to maximize distance. You might be ready to drop your 5 hybrid and replace it with a 3 hybrid. Your driver is still oversized with about 10-12 degrees of loft to maximize distance and accuracy. Shaft selections may be the most important component. You want a shaft that matches your swing speed and ball flight requirements. Perhaps a draw bias to help get the drive moving a little… [cont.]

Is it legal to drive a golf cart on a private course while intoxicated?
Q. I golf frequently at a private golf course near my house. They serve alcohol on the course (a snack cart drives around) and I sometimes see people bring their own flasks of liquor to the course.

A. Hi there.. Golf carts are usually divided into types based on how they are powered, and the cost of purchasing and maintaining them varies by type. Electric golf carts are fine for golfers who will use their carts only on the golf course. Those using their golf carts in more all-terrain environments, at construction sites, or during camping or skeet shooting trips will probably want a gas powered golf cart as it can handle varying terrain and long distances better. The price of golf carts also depends on whether you are buying a new or a used golf cart. A used golf cart can usually be purchased for half the price of a brand new one. This means you could save as much as $2,500 on a used electric golf cart and upwards of $3,500 on a gas… [cont.]

A. They use an old-school yardage book created for the tournament. Typically, the caddies will buy said yardage book before the tournament and then walk the course to verify yardages and add yardages to/from specific points. They might use a rangefinder/GPS during practice rounds but they're verboten during tournament rounds. Either way, the caddie is still walking the course on his own at least once before Thursday. The players/caddies are given pin sheets which show distances to the hole...it's a crude drawing of the green with two numbers (one from either the front or back, and one from either the left or right side).

What is a good way to practice golf over the winter?
Q. Winter's here and the golf season is over, but I have tryouts for the golf team in March. Since no courses will be open until after then, how can I keep from getting "stiff" over the winter. What are some good ways to practice?

These have helped mold my swing and I hit longer, straighter shots consistently. You'll have to get out there on the course some time in the cold if you want to really practice. Just don't play a full 18 or even 9. You can use the practice greens and bunkers even the driving… [cont.]
