Nach einer Durststrecke von zweieinhalb Jahren hat der spanische Golfer Sergio Garcia am Sonntag die Players Championship in Florida gewonnen und damit den bedeutendsten Sieg seiner Karriere errungen. Der 28-Jährige schloss am Schlusstag zum Führenden Paul Goydos auf und mit einem schön herausgespielten Par am ersten Extraloch triumphierte der Spanier beim Prestige-Turnier über den US-Amerikaner.

If you think about it, a new putter only works because it feels different from the one you have lost confidence in. Technology has done wonders for distance, but when you get close to the hole its a different game, literally.

When I first started playing golf, I was all about power. As I got a little older, I realized that golf was not all about power. In fact, uncontrolled power is a disadvantage.

Golf can take a lot of time to master and most people who would like to become better quickly often don't because they don't practice enough on their golf swing. Here are a few tips to shave of the learning curve.

Every word is an anchor. This isn't a course to make you a master hypnotist, but this is something that you need to understand.

Being able to create a larger club head with more club face to get behind the ball has been a result of the innovations in materials used in manufacture, the thinner walls used and the actual quality of the manufacturing process itself. All of these innovations have saved weight allowing the actual club head to be larger but NOT to weigh any more.

There is a stock of clothing that you can invest in that will cover most of your on-course requirements through the year. Summer is fast approaching, and in our climate 'summer' can mean any number of things. I'm sure many golfers will be traveling over to Europe too.

I was not surprised at the high number of golfers (who responded to my fitting survey) that were playing with Irons that are over 5 years old. I find that golfers, not born into the 'PlayStation generation', value the relationship that they have with their Irons. It's not the same with all the clubs in the bag.

Next time you are in the shop pick up three #6 Irons: one with a compact head, a mid-size head and an oversize Iron head. Now lay them down alongside each other almost in the address position. Certain golfers will get a much more comfortable feeling with the compact head. Lay a golf ball alongside the club head and notice the relationship between the ball and the club head. The small head size and very thin top line will be brought home to you.

Whether it's raining quite steadily or it's very hot and humid, I would recommend making sure that your shoe uses a membrane (as opposed to a simple chemical treatment) to achieve the following for you: - Guarantee water is kept out - Guarantee perspiration is directed away from your foot An example is the GORE-TEX(TM) membrane, used on a variety of products - not just shoes. This membrane contains over 9 billion microscopic pores per square inch. That's 20 000 times smaller than a water droplet, but 700 times larger than a water vapour molecule:

You used to be able to tell how soft a golf ball was going to feel off the club face by the compression rating that appeared on the packaging. Then it disappeared and 'compression' took last place behind launch angle, spin rate and drag coefficients.

There have been a number of new releases in the premium golf ball market with real performance improvements that target the club golfer rather than the big hitting tour Pros. For that reason I would like to encourage you to spend some time making sure that you are getting the most out of your golf ball.

The golf ball you play with can significantly change the launch angle and the trajectory of the ball flight. Articles published in magazines and web sites state that you need to increase the loft on your Driver to increase the distance that you will achieve off the tee, if your swing speed is anywhere near or below the average. The argument is that you will be playing with a Driver that has too little loft to create the launch angle that will be best for your swing speed.
