    Five of the Best Turkish Golf Courses

    When it comes to golf breaks away from the UK, there is a
    new destination that is rapidly becoming highly regarded for
    European golf holidays - Turkey. With its Mediterranean
    climate, beautiful coastline and a rapidly growing selection
    of top quality golf courses, it is hoping to become a
    genuine competitor with more established destinations such
    as the Algarve in Portugal.

    The majority of the courses are concentrated in and around
    the resort of Belek, which has been consciously crafted to
    create a modern day golfers paradise. Located close to
    glorious beaches in some truly magnificent natural
    surroundings, this is one of the most visually striking golf
    resorts in the world, and has won awards for its integration
    of the golf courses with the natural beauty of the Turkish
    coastline. But there is more than just good views to a golf
    break in Turkey - the courses are designed by some of the
    world's best, and many of them present a tough challenge to
    even the most skilled golfers.

    Only time will tell whether the Turkish bid to become "the
    new Algarve" will find success, but if you do decide to head
    out for a golf holiday in Turkey, here are five of the
    finest courses to enjoy...

    Antalya Golf Club

    Antalya Golf Club is one of Turkey's finest. It features two
    golf courses - the Sultan and The Pascha - and perilous
    water hazards dominate both courses. They demand careful
    play and precise drives, but a golfer who takes up the
    challenge here will be rewarded with stunning views and a
    very pleasurable round of golf.

    Gloria

    Much like the Antalya Golf Club, the Gloria actually
    contains two outstanding courses for a golf break in Turkey.
    The Gloria Old is a nine hole academy course running through
    beautiful pine forests that is a superb place to polish up
    your game, while Gloria New is a tough and intricate course
    that might be the best in the country.

    Cornelia Golf Club

    A particular favourite for more experienced players on a
    golf holiday in Turkey, the Cornelia Golf Club was designed
    by Nick Faldo and offers three different 18 hole
    combinations - the King, Queen and Prince courses. It can be
    ferociously challenging, but if you can master the course it
    is a true joy to play.

    Lykia Links

    Golf courses in Turkey tend to be either parkland courses
    (such as the Cornelia) or peppered with water hazards (such
    as the two courses at the Antalya Golf Club), and the Lykia
    Links is the first true links course in the country,
    designed by Pete Dye. Golfers here can enjoy the stunning
    coastal vistas, though the good views come at a price; the
    unpredictable Mediterranean winds can ramp up the difficulty
    of this course, but the challenge is part of the experience
    at Lykia Links.

    National Golf Club

    The National Golf Club was the first international standard
    golf course in Turkey, and it still retains its status as
    one of the finer courses in the country. The beautiful
    course is a joy to play, and the attached PGA Academy offers
    expert tuition and practice for players looking to improve
    their game while on a golf break in Turkey.

    Morgan Clarke is the Managing Director of GolfPlanet
    Holidays, a company that has been providing bespoke golf
    holidays worldwide for over 25 years. The award-winning
    specialist tour operator is privately-owned and determined
    to ensure that both experienced golfers and novices can
    enjoy unforgettable golf holidays in Turkey.

    Golf Club Reviews

    There are several top brands of golf clubs that golf
    enthusiasts and golf pros alike turn to again and again to
    get the best performance they possibly can out there on the
    green. These top golf clubs offer you the highest quality
    and best performance in drivers, fairway woods, irons,
    wedges, and putters. Whether you buy them as complete sets
    or individually, the top golf clubs drive your game on the
    green to a whole new level.

    One of these top golf clubs makers is Ping. When it comes to
    irons, two of the very finest you can find are the Ping G10
    and i10 irons. Ping puts its proprietary golf shaft
    technology into making these: their AWT (Ascending Weight
    Technology) shaft design. Among AWT's amazing features is
    the fact that longer Ping golf clubs' shafts are lighter
    than those of their shorter clubs, for a perfect blend of
    power and maneuverability.

    Ping is also known for making top quality putters. Ping
    Anser putters are known for their larger size and their
    solid feel. They help give you an extra measure of control
    when you are trying to get that perfect putt. Ping Anser
    putters are known for their larger size and their solid
    feel. They help give you an extra measure of control when
    you are trying to get that perfect putt. Ping's 1/2 Craz-E
    putter seamlessly combines the blade putter and the mallet
    putter. Ping also makes a hybrid Craz-E putter that
    additionally combines features of the flange putter. As you
    can see, Ping's putters are among the most versatile putters
    to be found, whether you are a serious amateur, a
    semi-professional, or a pro. This is why the Anser and the
    Craz-E are two of the top selling golf clubs in the world.

    Another one of the finest makers of golf clubs is
    TaylorMade. One of the best exemplars of the TaylorMade
    brand of golf clubs is the TaylorMade? Rescue Mid Graphite
    Shaft. This utility club was specially designed to give
    players at once the distance and the power of a fairway wood
    along with the ability to hit with the straightness and high
    degreee of accuracy of an iron. One of the best exemplars of
    the TaylorMade brand of golf clubs is the TaylorMade? Rescue
    Mid Graphite Shaft. This utility club was specially designed
    to give players at once the distance and the power of a
    fairway wood along with the ability to hit with the
    straightness and high degreee of accuracy of an iron. To put
    together this very impressive utility golf club, the company
    made use of its proprietary TaylorMade? TNG grip and TM
    Ultralite graphite shaft with its tip soft design and the
    low flex point which enables the player to hit the ball at a
    higher trajectory.

    One TaylorMade enthusiast has said of this club, "I don't
    even pull the headcover off of my driver and just hit this
    rescue off the tee. Great feel and workability. Swing it
    like an eight iron and it has the distance of at least a
    five wood. I am hitting [the ball] about 220 to 230."

    But yet another shining star among golf clubs makers is the
    Titleist brand. One of Titleist's most outstanding products
    is their Vokey 200 Series Chrome Wedge. Vokey Design wedges
    are widely regarded as among the best of the best short game
    tools available for any golfer. These are manufactured from
    heat-treated 8620 mild carbon steel; this enables Titleist
    to give them their precise shape, tight tolerances, and
    process consistency that these great wedges are known for.
    Yet at once, they yield the player a soft, solid feedback.
    Titleist's 200 Series wedges also add beauty and class with
    a teardrop profile with a high two as well as a shallow
    heel. One enthusiastic user says of the Titleist wedge,
    "This was the most astounding wedge I have used my whole
    entire life. It will help anyone from within 100 yards like
    it does for me. It can do everything better than those
    people say it does!"

    And what list of top quality golf clubs would be complete
    without a mention of the legendary Callaway golf clubs?
    Callaway golf clubs are famous for a number of reasons, one
    of the biggest of which is their Big Bertha irons. These
    powerful steel-shafted irons are designed to give a number
    of great benefits to the golfer. First off, they are highly
    accurate by comparison with other irons. Their big head
    means they have a bigger sweet spot so you can make that
    "perfect" long distance hit. They give you a superb feel
    when you are using them, so you always feel in control even
    when you're totally blasting the golf ball. And one of the
    Callaway clubs' very best features is that they last--so you
    are getting what you pay for.

    Callaway irons have a reputation for improving a person's
    distance game to the green and giving players heightened
    self-confidence, making them better enabled to compete and
    get the most out of their game.

    This is just a short list of a few of the outstanding brands
    and specific golf clubs they offer. All of the companies
    mentioned also offer other top of the line golf clubs, and
    you can find yet more excellent golf club manufacturers to
    check out at Improve My Golf Game.

    Gold Coast Golf

    The Gold Coast, situated in south east Queensland, is one of
    Australia's leading golfing holiday playgrounds. With 7miles
    of golden beaches, World Heritage listed rainforest's, theme
    parks, shopping, international casino and nightlife - it is
    a world class, stylish holiday destination.

    Why is Gold Coast Golf Any Different?

    The Gold Coast is located in the sub-tropical region of the
    Southern Hemisphere and enjoys warmth and sunshine the whole
    year round. Australian seasons are the opposite of those in
    the Northern Hemisphere - the average summer temperature is
    25 degrees Celsius and in winter, it is around 15 degrees
    Celsius. You can expect over 300 days of sunshine each year,
    making the Gold Coast one of the most reliable golf
    destinations on the planet.

    Gold Coast Golf Challenges

    Royal Pines

    The Royal Pines Resort has has recently been purchased by
    Victorian based RACV.

    It has been a popular setting for the Ladies ANZ Masters due
    to the friendliness of the course.

    The Golf Academy has a wide range of programs for both new
    comers to the sport and experienced players, including
    one-day workshops to full-time training.

    Lakelands

    A Jack Nicklaus designed 18-hole championship Gold Coast
    golf course.? Being the first golf course designed by
    legendary player? in Australia it holds a certain uniqueness
    to its layout.

    Facilities include a floodlit driving range, pitch and putt
    green and a pro shop.

    Hope Island

    Situated on the northern end of the Gold Coast, Hope Island
    is the only links style golf course of its kind on the Gold
    Coast. Once a public resort course, is now under the wing of
    golf course management giant, Troon Golf. With the new
    management has come a new operating name, now known as,
    "Links Hope Island".

    Designed by five times British Open Champion Peter Thompson
    in the collaboration with Mike Wolverridge, the sweeping
    layout is set in a 360 ha residential resort community. The
    course itself measures 6,500 meters from the Championship
    tees coupled with 128 pot style bunkers, making it a very
    difficult challenge for the average golfer.

    Palm Meadows

    Palm Meadows is the ultimate Gold Coast Golf Course. No
    other Gold Coast golf courses have had so many golfing
    legends walk the fairways as Palm Meadows, Norman, Langer,
    Jumbo Ozaki, Strange, Raffety, the list goes on. Once home
    to the riches golf tournament in the southern hemisphere is
    now enjoyed by all level of golf enthusiasts from around the
    world.

    The course was designed by leading Australian golfer Graham
    Marsh, who incorporated water into play on 14 of the 18
    holes, positioned 80 + sand bunkers, three three story high
    bamboo clumps and 1000 + palm trees to sculpt a magnificent
    golfing experience.

    Palm Meadows has received many accolades in their 20 plus
    years, however none can compare to being included in the
    "Worlds Top 500 Golf Holes". The famous 18th hole has
    cemented its place in history as being in the top 500 golf
    holes in the world, recognised by the American Golf Digest.

    The beauty of the 18th is in the lake that lies besides the
    tee and stretches the full 523 meters of the hole. If you
    play it well you can really reward yourself with a nice
    finish to your round, however if one shot is miss hit, you
    can easily reach double figures

    Palm Meadows is the ultimate course to play on your holiday
    to experience Gold Coast Golf.

    Written out for the love of Golf on the Gold Coast and the
    need to tell the world that it is a golfing experience you
    need to experience.

    How to Improve Your Golf Swing – And How Not To

    One of the problems that I see a lot on the golf course is
    someone who is trying to improve their golf swing and tries
    to take every bit of advice that they hear. There are many
    different opinions on the perfect golf swing and if you
    listen to all of them you get conflicting advice. This can
    do more harm than good.

    If you are new to golf then I suggest you go take a lesson
    from an instructor with a good reputation before you ever
    attempt to play golf. It is very easy to pick up bad habits
    if you try to figure it all out on your own. If you take a
    lesson when first starting, you will learn good golf
    technique before you pick up these bad habits.

    There are a lot of golf training videos and many other
    training programs out there and if you listen to all of them
    you will probably never get good at golf. I'm not saying
    that there aren't a lot of good lessons to be had but there
    are so many different ideas on what will make you a better
    golfer that you can easily get information overload and that
    can be counter-productive. Pick one golf training exercise
    and stay with it.

    Practice what you learn at home and at the driving range
    until it becomes second nature to you. I don't mean practice
    for ten minutes before you head to the links, I mean set
    aside some time to practice every day. Many parts of a
    program don't require you to actually hit a ball.

    Practice the grip that they show you. Put the club down,
    pick it up and grip it correctly. Do this over and over
    because you don't ride around the golf course with a club
    gripped in your hands. You need to grip it every shot,
    right?

    Practice your stance and any exercises the program suggests
    to do it properly.

    There is loads of information and golf training material on
    the market. Pick one and practice it again and again. If you
    haven't improved by the end of a golf season then you may
    want to consider something else but do yourself a favor and
    give your chosen golf training material a fair chance before
    you move on to something else.

    Why You Need Good Golf Umbrellas

    Golf Umbrellas are an essential item to have for those who
    love the sport, and even for those who just want a great
    umbrella. When out on the course, owning one of these will
    prove to be more wind and dust resistant. The benefits of
    having quality items will pay off many times over in the
    future, so shop for an umbrella that will provide
    protection, style, and value.

    There are several key things to keep in mind when shopping
    for Golf Umbrellas. Once you have decided what size and
    style you want, you can streamline your shopping experience.

    SIZE

    Size matters when shopping for an umbrella. While there are
    smaller variations, it is advisable to get the larger size
    for maximum protection. You don't want to get caught on the
    course with a bag full of golf clubs, and then encounter a
    rainstorm. A larger umbrella will protect you and your
    equipment.

    WIND RESISTANCE

    When looking for golf umbrellas, make sure to read up on the
    wind resistance of the desired umbrella. When in the open
    with no shelter close by, the last thing you want to fight
    is an umbrella that has turned itself inside out. Double
    canopy designs or other forms of air slots will keep the
    umbrella from turning inside out when that sudden wind grabs
    it.

    SHAFT MATERIAL

    The shaft material will be important. Try to find a
    fiberglass shaft so that it will allow for some flexing
    during a storm. In addition, you don't want a steel handle
    in the event of lightening.

    DESIGN

    Essential to every game is being able to express your
    personality. Since you will hopefully be spending a lot of
    time on your golf game, find golf umbrellas that are
    visually appealing. Sports logos, bright colors, stripes or
    other designs all lend themselves to making your umbrella a
    personal statement. Get an umbrella that would be just as
    great of the course. This will also make it easy to identify
    when other golfers have their umbrellas out.

    ADDITIONAL FEATURES

    Having a long plastic stake at the end is unique to a golf
    umbrella as opposed to regular street umbrellas. This is
    used for sticking the end in the turn when hitting a shot.
    This will prevent it from getting away from you in case a
    wind gust blows up.

    The shape of the handle is also an important feature. An
    ergonomic handle will make the umbrella more comfortable
    when gripping, whether for carrying open or closed. Pay
    attention that the handle is the style that you like.

    Shopping for umbrellas has never been easier. No longer do
    you have to go into a store, but with the convenience of
    online shopping, you can shop for more colors, designs, and
    sizes than offered in a standalone store. Check out the many
    styles of umbrellas available online, and once you have
    found one or two that you like, read some reviews. Consumer
    feedback is a great way to learn if an umbrella is going to
    work how you want it to.

    Lowest prices ever on Golf Umbrellas, grab yours now while
    they last at Golf Umbrellas and Beyond. Better hurry because
    supplies are limited.

    Golf Estates – Some of the Best Places to Live

    Golf estates have become the leading real estate phenomenon
    of the 21st Century in South Africa. And there is good
    reason for their growing popularity - they offer peaceful,
    protected luxury living for you and your family, whether
    ardent golfer or not.

    A safe haven in times of crime

    Golf estate property is an investors dream as they not only
    offer safe havens in an turbulent ocean of crime but the
    maintenance and upkeep of the manicured gardens, fairways
    and greens are the responsibility of the Body Corporate of
    the estate.

    This community involvement in the maintenance of the golf
    estate will generally mean that your golf property is likely
    to improve in value in leaps and bounds over time. There is
    little doubt that investing in one of the hundreds of golf
    estates that dot the South African landscape will be a
    shrewd and lucrative move on your part.

    Possibly the pick of golf real estate lies in two distinct
    areas, both of which are attractive tourist destinations -
    the fabled Garden Route of the Cape and the mystical
    bushveld to the north of the country.

    Versatile range of Garden Route golf real estate

    The Garden Route has a versatile range of golf real estate
    to choose from, so whether Mossel Bay, George or Plettenberg
    Bay is your preferred choice of urban centre, rest assured
    there is a luxurious and tranquil golf estate close by.

    The developers of golf estates are also particularly aware
    of their responsibility to the environment and design the
    golf course and adjoining homes in harmony with nature so as
    not to interfere too much with the sustainability of the
    region. This leaves bird and animal life to prosper, making
    golf estates a veritable paradise to live in.

    Most leading golf estates are a fine blend of glorious green
    fairways, indigenous fynbos and magnificent ocean and
    mountain vistas along the Garden Route, or pristine bush,
    jam-packed with a vast selection of wild and woolly
    creatures in the case of the northern offerings.

    No unauthorised access

    Golf estates are generally fenced communities with 24 hour
    security limiting access to the entire property. Sadly,
    South Africans have been under the cosh of rampant crime,
    even since its emancipation, and we all have to think long
    and hard about our family's security. It doesn't take a
    rocket scientist to figure out that golf real estate is one
    of the safest options for you and your kids.

    So if you are keen to enjoy a life of tranquillity, added
    security and unlimited access to the great outdoors,
    consider purchasing golf real estate property today.

    The Beaufort Golf Club – Your Entry to a Killarney Golf

    Vacation

    Picture yourself striding down a fairway sheltered by two
    hundred year-old trees, passing the ruins of a 15th century
    castle, and lifting your eyes in any direction to vistas of
    Ireland's legendary MacGillyCuddy's Reeks Mountains. You are
    enjoying a round of golf at Southwestern Ireland's Beaufort
    Golf Club, set in Killarney's Churchtown Estate, the site of
    a 1740 Georgian house built by Sir Roland Blennerhassett.

    The Churchtown estate is now owned by the descendents of
    James MacGillycuddy's McGill, who purchased it in 1860.
    Visitors to Beaufort Golf Club can anticipate the sort of
    experience which awaits them from the pineapples which rests
    atop its gate pillars as a symbol of welcome. Standing next
    to the 15th green at the Beaufort golf club are the remains
    of Castle Core, the source of the stone from which the
    Churchtown Estate house was built.

    Although the Beaufort Golf Club only opened for business
    until 1995, it has already seen numerous improvements
    including the addition of several lakes, plantings, and a
    state-of-the-art sprinkler system which will keep both the
    greens and tee boxes in prime condition. There are also
    plans to completely redesign the entire course and bring it
    up to championship standards. This design, according to golf
    architect Tom Mackenzie, will incorporate the natural
    landscape features of Churchtown Estate to create a course
    suitable for golfers at every skill level.

    The front nine of the golf course are situated along the
    western part of the Churchtown estate, with the back nine
    along its southern area closer to MacGillyCuddy's Reeks. The
    Clubhouse, which overlooks the practice putting green, is
    situated in a courtyard next to the main house. One of the
    delights of the practice putting green is the formal rose
    garden which lies beyond it. The Beaufort Golf Club has
    every amenity you could possibly desire in a golfing
    facility, yet has managed to preserve a welcoming and
    historical charm.

    You can follow your game by relaxing over a fine meal and a
    pint at the club's Bar and Restaurant, opening onto the
    courtyard and a splendid view of MacGillyCuddys Reeks. Or
    treat yourself to a boat trip along the shores of the Lake
    of Killarney, or an afternoon driving through Killarney
    National Park, stopping for a visit at Muckross House and
    Gardens, Killarney's premier tourist attraction. Rent a
    mount at the Killarney riding stables and view the
    countryside from an entirely new vantage point.

    MacGillyCuddys ReeksBeaufort Golf Club is within easy
    driving distance of both the Gap of Dunloe and
    Carrauntoohil, Ireland's highest peak. Arrange for an early
    morning walk or pony trap through the Gap of Dunloe, and be
    sure to visit Muckross Abbey. The Abbey was built on ground
    sacred to Ireland's ancient Druids, and contains a yew tree
    which even the later Christian monks revered too much to cut
    down.

    Just 15 miles outside of Killarney, you will find the Crag
    Caves. Limestone caves discovered only a quarter of a
    century ago, the Crag Caves are thought to date back more
    than 1 million years. A half hour guided tour of the caves
    will give you a glimpse of their enormous stalactites,
    caverns, and other remarkable rock formations.

    The town of Killarney itself is a family friendly
    destination, where you can shop to your heart's content for
    Irish laces, crystal, and textiles. If you have not had your
    fill of golf at the Beaufort Golf Club, finish your stay in
    Killarney at the Dunloe Golf Club, and, of course, the
    legendary Killarney Golf and Fishing Club, where the game of
    golf has been treasured since the 19th century!

    Golf Swing Mechanics – Discover How to Fix Your Slice Fast

    and Easy

    Are you a beginning golfer or an avid golfer that is sick of
    slicing the golf ball? There are certain golf swing
    mechanics that cause you to slice the golf ball and having
    the knowledge of what causes this will help you correct it.
    Here is an explanation that should help and a drill to help
    you as well.

    Before we get into the explanation you should know that in
    order to really get good enough to stop slicing you will
    need much more than just this article. You either need to
    get professional instruction from a club pro or you need to
    get yourself a good step-by-step plan of attack like the one
    at the bottom of this article. It is worth the few minutes
    of your time to check it out.

    So what is causing you to slice the ball?

    First, you have to understand that there are only two things
    that control the direction of the golf ball and that is your
    swing path and your club face angle. The path is responsible
    for you pulling, pushing, or hitting the ball straight, and
    the face of the club is responsible for the hook, draw,
    straight shot, fade, and slice.

    Now with knowing that you need to fix your face angle at
    impact. If you are pull slicing, then you also have a path
    issues and your path is outside in. If you are push slicing
    (very ugly!), then you have an inside out swing path. Both
    of these have an open face, which is causing your slice.

    The Drill

    Now to work on learning how not to slice we have to fix your
    face angle and your path, most likely. You can do this by
    setting up a shoebox about a half inch from the ball and
    hitting the ball without hitting the shoebox. You may go
    through a few shoe boxes before you perfect this, but it
    will work.

    Slice Forever!

    Golf Clubs – How to Handle the Selection and Planning of

    This Equipment

    It is a failing of many players that during a round they
    will use only one club off the tee for the 14 or so holes
    that are par fours or fives. For example, they erroneously
    reach for a driver when confronted with a hole of 500 yards
    or 460 meters with two deep bunkers that narrow the fairway
    to just 20 yards or 18 meters in width at about the distance
    to which they can hit.

    On a hole of 320 yards or 292 meters with a narrow sliver of
    fairway at which to aim, owing to water down the left hand
    side and trees on the right, they pull out the driver and so
    on. It is interesting to note that the straightest drivers
    of all, such as Colin Montgomery or Lee Westwood, would not
    dream of using a driver in either of these instances unless
    there were three holes to play and they needed three
    birdies.

    Even given that situation, they would probably still use
    other clubs. Many golfers fall back on the argument that
    they are just having a fun round and using a 3 wood on one
    hole and a 3 iron on another would go against the grain.

    That is fine, of course, but on the really fun rounds that
    you have enjoyed you can be sure that you were playing well
    and scoring well. Most golfers would answer in the
    affirmative to both these questions. Yet taking a driver on
    every hole helps them achieve neither, indeed, driving into
    the water or into the trees can have just the opposite
    effect, as your score hoes haywire and your confidence
    disappears down the drain.

    So if the fairway is narrow at the driving distance, do not
    look on it as an irresistible temptation, but concede a
    small defeat to the course and use your 3 wood in the
    knowledge that you will have a much better chance of winning
    a far greater victory by enjoying success on the hole. Or
    use your 4 wood if you think the situation calls for it.

    First 5 Commandments of Golf – How Big a Sinner Are You?

    The first 5 of the 10 Commandments of Golf form part of a
    Test of your Ability to play the game to your Full
    Potential.

    Every shot in your round presents you with a unique
    challenge. How you measure up to the challenge will
    ultimately reflect itself in your score for the 18 holes.

    How many of the first 5 Commandments will you break next
    time you play?

    1. Never play a shot when angry.

    Golf is a game that can drive a sane person to distraction.
    It is natural to blow off a bit of steam after a bad shot
    rather than maintain a Zen-like calmness. However, anger
    tends to feed on itself and being mad at yourself for more
    than 10 seconds is likely to poison your mind and harm your
    score.

    2. Play each shot as a single event.

    This is the most common piece of advice to golfers at any
    level. Your most important shot is always your next one. The
    only possible exception is when you are basing your shot on
    where you want to play from next. However, once you have
    decided your lay-up target, you must still play the current
    shot as a single event.

    3. Pin-point a target to aim at.

    If you aim at nothing, you will hit nothing. Good golfers
    always pick out a precise target rather than hit in the
    general direction of the hole. Often they will pick out a
    spot on their line and focus on hitting their ball over
    their spot. Another technique is to imagine a small hoop on
    your line and then try to hit your ball through the hoop.

    4. Visualise the shot exactly in your mind's eye.

    Jack Nicklaus was a master of visualising his shot. Seeing
    the shot you want before you hit it prepares your brain for
    action. When I caddied I would ask my player to talk me
    through how he intended to play his shot. Of course, you
    must visualise according to your capability, otherwise you
    are just fantasising.

    5. Follow a consistent pre-shot routine.

    It is very easy to just walk up to the ball and hit it.
    Certainly it will avoid any tension building up - a
    situation that can happen when you spend too long over the
    ball. However, a better technique is to adopt a standard
    approach to each shot - the way good players manage their
    game.

    When you are ready, take the second part of the Test.
