A golfer is not automatically responsible when a golf ball hits a house. In most situations, the damage is considered an assumed risk of living near a golf course and is typically handled through the homeowner’s insurance. A golfer becomes financially responsible only if they acted negligently or recklessly, and a golf course may share … Read more

The most accurate way to measure golf club head speed is by using technology-based tools, such as launch monitors (TrackMan, GCQuad, Foresight) or portable swing speed radars (PRGR, Swing Caddie). These devices not only measure the club’s speed at impact but also provide complementary data such as ball speed, launch angle, and smash factor. If … Read more

If you don’t have golf clothes, wear clean, comfortable, and flexible smart-casual or athletic clothing such as a polo or neat top, chinos or tailored shorts, and enclosed athletic shoes. As long as your outfit allows free movement and remains respectful, most public and beginner-friendly golf courses will let you play without golf-specific apparel. Playing … Read more

Women should wear golf-specific tops (collared or approved sleeveless styles), skorts or tailored bottoms, and proper golf shoes with soft spikes or spikeless soles. Clothing should be breathable, flexible, and aligned with the golf course’s dress code. The right golf outfit allows full-swing movement, maintains course etiquette, and keeps you comfortable in changing weather. Why … Read more

No, you cannot switch golf balls on the Green unless the Rules of Golf specifically allow it. Once you start a hole, you must finish that hole with the same ball unless it becomes damaged (cut or cracked) or you are taking free or penalty relief.

To break 80 in golf means shooting a 79 or lower over a standard 18-hole round. That score represents more than a number on a card — it signals that a golfer has moved significantly beyond casual play into a strategic, consistent, and disciplined game where mistakes are minimized, and opportunities are maximized. Why Breaking … Read more

Playing nine holes of golf usually takes between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours 15 minutes. Fast solo golfers can finish in about 1 hour, while beginners or busy courses may push the round closer to 2.5 to 3 hours. That range exists because golf is affected by more variables than almost any other … Read more

Used golf balls are generally worth between about $0.50 and $4.00 per ball, with premium models like Titleist Pro V1 often fetching toward the higher end when they’re clean and in excellent condition, and lower-tier or heavily used balls selling for much less — especially if they lack intact golf ball dimples or show heavy … Read more

New golf balls do not go significantly further than lightly used modern balls. Modern multilayer balls are engineered to retain compression, speed, and aerodynamic stability over many rounds. Only ancient balls (especially wound designs from the 1990s and earlier), heat-damaged, water-logged, or cracked-cover balls show noticeable distance loss. In real-world testing, modern golf balls typically … Read more

Yes — 20-year-old solid-core golf balls can still perform well enough for casual play if they were stored indoors in cool, dry, stable conditions. Their loss of distance is usually minor, and they remain structurally sound. However, if they were kept in heat (garage, attic, car trunk) or show signs of dried, cracked covers or … Read more
