Fred Couples didn't realize until a few months ago that he wasn't eligible for The Players Championship, an event he has won twice and counts among his favorite. Couples missed nearly all of last year with back problems, so he wasn't among the top 125 on the money list. But with so many players pulling out, from Tiger Woods to Martin Kaymer of Germany, Couples kept moving up the alternate list until he got in. He made the most out of his 25th start at Sawgrass.

In this article I will give you some free golf tips that will help you to improve your game. I know many golfers who reach a certain level and can't seam to progress any further. I have seen players hit a couple of good shots then a complete duff shot that just trickles of the tee. For most golfers, just getting back to the basics can bring around a positive change in their swing.

Jesper Parnevik claims (and I believe him) that he walks straight off the course and into a nightclub. His golf clothing works on the course and off the course. Actually, whilst you're probably not looking to hit the nightclub, there's a good chance that you're looking for more from your golf clothing than you previously did (and so you should). This doesn't mean taking your cue from GQ! It means understanding the technology (climate control and freedom of movement), and being able to choose clothing that supports your needs on-course and off-course.

I'll say it one more time. When it comes to putting, speed is King. A putt hit at the perfect speed has the greatest chance of going in. But what is the perfect speed? Should you hit it 12 inches past the hole? Six inches?

Look for a moment at the fact there are so many different kinds of grips used by the PGA Tour pros. It makes it quite obvious that the position of the hands on the club while you are putting is irrelevant. There are also many different styles of putters out there. Long ones that go all the way up to the golfers chin to those that insert right into the golfers belly button! Then you have many types of heads on those of more standard length, all combining to prove that the putter is also irrelevant.

If you play golf on various courses throughout your home town or when traveling, you have probably come across bunkers that have unusually soft, white sand. This type of sand is known as "glass sand" and is used at many high-quality courses.

A successful pitch shot requires intense planning and visualization. You must take full stock of the situation at hand before you choose your target line and landing area.

One of the biggest mistakes golfers make on the course is not using the right club. You can have a better short game, have more fun, and lower your score if you would just stick to a club which is the most comfortable for you when facing a specific shot.

Robert Karlsson of Sweden shot a course-record 11-under 61 Friday to take the lead after the second round of the Italian Open. Karlsson had two eagles and eight birdies to go with one bogey to finish the round at 15-under 129.
