Let's face it. Playing golf is not one of the most economical sports in the world. Unlike basketball where a single ball is needed for two teams to play and maybe, just maybe, some specialized shoes, a golfer requires a lot more gear to get going and that gear, or at least some of it, will have to be replaced from time to time. With this in mind, smart golfers often look for good golf discount store locations to help them keep their...more
What is the secret to golf? Every golfer may want to find the answer, here we trace back to the origine of golf.During the time of Christ, golfers used wooden golf balls and wooden golf clubs made from the hickory tree. Then, in the early 1600's, the featherie golf ball was invented. The featherie golf ball was a hand sewn cowhide bag stuffed with goose feathers and painted. Because it flew so beautifully, it lasted for 200...more
The Scottish Shepherds started playing golf back in Scotland, by hitting a leather ball stuffed with feathers. So many people played the game of golf in Scotland, that the government eventually stopped the game. The government wanted the people to practice archery, so they could be good enough to defend their country. Was stopping the game of golf altogether a mistake? Judging by the enthusiasm of how golf is moving forward today. They might have been better off stopping the use of the mashie and niblick golf club, and made it mandatory to use the bow and arrow instead. It would have accomplished two things. The people would have improved their archery skills, and for the people who continued using golf clubs, it would have speeded up golf play at the same time. All they had to do to make it safe was lengthen the tee time intervals. The wind may have been the only other dangerous factor. The biggest problem would have been getting an audience or a crowd to watch along the sidelines. Now taking a look at the similarities of golf and archery, one would think they went hand in hand. Both sports require a shaft, target, distance and accuracy. The two sports are played...more

Mizuno have produced a huge range of clubs ranging from cavity back for the beginner, hybrid for the more progressive golfer and blades for the top golfer. Mizuno uses a range of materials in their irons including steel alloy and a mild carbon steel in their more expensive products.Generally the mild carbon steel is only used in making forged irons, as opposed to cast irons, and the reason is that the mild carbon steel does not fill a mold as well as other materials and so is not really suitable for casting clubs.On the other hand molten stainless steel is more liquid and hence more suitable for casting.The advantages of forged Mizuno irons over cast comes down to consistency which comes from the absence of air bubbles getting trapped in the face of the club when forging... as the forging process involves using one lump of mild carbon steel. Casting on the other hand involves pouring a steel alloy into a mold and the mold is then broken... at the end of this process you can have trapped air bubbles in the face of the club which will lead to inconsistent performance and sound and can even lead to cracking of the club.Casting of clubs also leads to another problem... when the club is...more
