AboutDathaeus Expertise If you want to become a better golfer at any level, feel free to ask me. This may involve hitting with more power, consistency, maintaining effective practice sessions, and learn swing mechanics, etc... I do not study much about the technical aspects of golf equipment and it is hard to suggest the right equipment for you without knowing your game. I would suggest you go demo a few clubs and read up on reviews from various web sites for that, and when you have narrowed down your choice, then I will be glad to help you choose. So if you want to play better golf and need online instruction, I can answer to your satisfaction. Feel free to also post up a video as many others are already doing and I will be glad to take a look as well... just remember to take the front and side views, and include information about the club you are using and your distance hit with that club.
Experience I have studied the game for years, and I would love to share my knowledge of basically making anyone out there play better golf. I am pretty much self taught and have dissected the game thoroughly and hope to turn pro someday. Having started the game later in my life compared to most pros gives me a unique perspective on the game and its psychology. So if you are just as adamant about improving your game to new heights, ask me and I will help you.

Question a player hits off the tee into the red stake area. takes a second ball on the tee and hits that one into the hazard. goes down to the red stake area, finds his first ball. Can he play the first ball?
Answer Hi there and thank you for asking. Once you play a ball after you deemed it out of play, you HAVE to play your second ball. HOWEVER, if you are not playing a fast paced tournament or you simply want to save time, you are allowed to hit a "provisional" but the player HAS to state that clearly to the fellow players. Then if you find the first ball, you HAVE to play that... you cannot choose to hit the second ball unless you deem your first ball unplayable. But if you deem it unplayable only because it is a difficult shot and not impossible, just to get your better second drive on the fairway, a fellow competitor in a tournament can ask for a referee and have him decide whether the ball can be called "unplayable."
