Is It Possible to Make a Few Quid on Golf Betting?
Having remembered reading an article in a 2013 edition of Golf World about golf betting I decided to do a bit of “Googling” on the person the article was based on – Steve Palmer. Now my Googling research skills only came into play a couple of months after the article was written, so it was only a passing interest to put it mildly at the time.
An Irish Golfing Review of 2014From an Irish perspective we have to start with Rory’s two major wins.

The Five Best Golf Rivalries in HistoryA great part of any sport is the individual or team rivalries that develop. The Yankees and Red Sox or Cubs and Cardinals are great baseball rivalries, and they usually develop over the course of time during their head-to-head match-ups. Golf is no difference, but by the nature of golf competitions today do not involve as many face-to-face meetings. Except for Ryder Cup competitions golfers are usually competing against an entire field within a tournament.

What Is a Monocular Golf Scope?This is a low-powered miniature spotting scope or telescope that you hold in your hand like you would hold binoculars. The difference between a monocular and binoculars is that with monoculars you only use one eye to look through it like you would a telescope. A monocular golf scope shares characteristics with both a spotting scope and binoculars but is much smaller. There are some of them that are no thicker than a good ink pen or no larger than your thumb.
Who Are the Next Superstar PGA Golfers?It is always fun in sports to try to look into the future and see who the next stars are who are coming up. We really haven’t had a dominant player in golf since the glory years of Tiger Woods, but it is looking now that we might have witnessed in 2014 the heir apparent. And what would be an even greater treat would be a rivalry between a couple of golfers that are head and shoulders above the rest.
Do Different Golf Balls Make for Different Putting Results?We’ve talked about different compression balls in how they affect the golf shot, but what are the best balls for putting? I have seen amateur golfers change their golf balls when they get close to the green as if balls actually perform better for different shots. Because a putter strikes the ball with such little force compression really isn’t involved. But is there something that makes certain golf balls easier to putt?
The Recommended Compression of Golf Balls We UseWe don’t hear as much about the compression of a golf ball as we used to, because in the last few years there has been huge advances in golf ball technology. Compression means the amount of force that it will take at ball impact to literally “squish” the ball.
