Though Musselburgh, Scotland is home to The Old Links, oldest golf course in the world, golf is rumored to have begun in the Netherlands in 1297. After seven hundred years, it still follows the same basic premise: hit a ball into a hole using a stick; the person who gets it in the least number of hits wins. Today, a golfer may have any number of sticks, called clubs, made up of wood, graphite or titanium. Each club has a specific use depending on the type, whether it’s the driver for an opening long ball, the wedge for shots out of the sand trap, the putter for the last short shot into the hole, or a variety of irons for anything in between. In this free video series on golf, PGA Professional Chris Ardolina discusses several golf related topics. Ardolina explains how to clean golf clubs, hit a fade shot, put spin on the ball and even how to repair divots. He also discusses the official rules of golf, how to film the golf swing, tee up the ball and position the body at impact. Watch these free videos and learn more about golf and golf etiquette today.
