Building a backyard putting green is like taking part of the local golf course home. You can tap a few balls after work, or avoid a crowded golf course altogether one day if you’re not interested in dealing with the crowd. You can entertain your children and their friends, and even use the home putting green as a centerpiece to your outdoor entertaining. If you enjoy using golf videos to improve your game, you can spend some time inside with the video, then head outside for an immediate dose of benefit from the instruction.
There are a myriad of companies who will build a putting green for you but many do-it-yourselfers are putting in their own green. If you decide to build your own putting green, there are several things to consider:

Before you enter the golf course, especially if you are a beginner, know that there is a technology behind a good golf shoe. Just like a good Pima cotton shirt and pants can breathe and keep you cool, a good golf shoe can actually help your swing.
Golf shoes have come a long way in style and comfort. Waterproof shoes are always a good idea but in a golf shoe, pay attention more to comfort than style. Style is OK but it is not going to do you any good if you have to walk 4+ miles on the course.

Every golfer dreams of the perfect golf vacation. Imagine waking up every morning and strolling out onto freshly cut grass, with the birds chirping and the sky clear and bright.

This is a dream that most golfers share and fortunately this dream can become a reality. The question is how? How could you possibly afford such an expensive golf vacation? Well, you’d be surprised at how inexpensive many golf vacations are these days especially if you decide to book in the off season.

Every golfer has his own opinion of what the best golf balls are. The best golf balls are not necessarily the highest priced, nor those that come top in the “expert” reviews. To many, the best golf balls are those with which they scored their lowest score ever, or hit a hole in one. Many who had a hole in one with a particular golf ball will not play with any other.
Different Balls Do Different Things
Some golf balls are made for distance and others for spin. So if you find a golf ball that you can hit a great distance off the tee, you may find that you cannot stop it on the green, or fade it round that dogleg. Others are made specifically for spin and control, so while you may compromise a bit on distance, your short game is much better.

A very sharp-looking set comparable to the popular Callaway Big Bertha irons, Hireko Golf’s Acer Mantara irons are the company’s easiest to hit in its latest model line.
You can see from the accompanying images (click on the thumbnail images to magnify), the Mantara iron design removes mass from where it’s least needed and redistributes it to the low and rear corners, producing an extreme perimeter-weighted club with an ultra-high MOI (highly desirable to reduce twisting on off-center shots!).

If you look around for cheap golf balls you are normally offered single layer balls which are useful for nothing except practice for beginners, or used golf balls which may or may not be reconditioned.
Reconditioned Means Recovered
Cheap reconditioned golf balls are used balls which have been recovered. Some may be described as “reconditioned” even if they have just been cleaned, though reputable companies described cleaned used balls as “cleaned.” True recovered balls have had the tip cover removed and replaced. Most quality balls have at least two covers and as many as four. The top cover is dimpled and made from a tough thermoplastic resin. This can be stripped and replaced to produce recovered golf balls.
