All eyes are on the course at TPC Sawgrass, particularly the iconic 17th hole’s island green.

Nach über zehn Jahren als Profispielerin auf der LET und LPGA lenkte Martina Ihren Fokus damals in eine andere Richtung - sie wurde Mutter. Auch ist sie derzeit Golf- und Fitnesscoach in München und immer noch intensiv in der Golfszene unterwegs. ?️‍♀️

Realistically, not everyone who follows the men’s game is necessarily as interested in the women’s game- and vice versa. But it's true that supporting women’s golf benefits everyone. It seems logical that the more people who join clubs and/or are involved in events, the more those services and events can be improved and funded. 

BASICS zum Thema Golf

Als Inhaber und Teamchef eines Rennstalls sind Sie während Ihrer aktiven Zeit
überall auf der Welt hingekommen – und das während mehrerer Monate im Jahr. Ich
nehme an, dass Sie damals fürs Golfen noch keine Zeit hatten?

Jetzt ist es offiziell, jetzt dürfen sogar wir Bayern wieder den Schläger schwingen. Pünktlich zum Saisonbeginn hier im Süden, darf ich auch meine neue Tätigkeit des Bloggen´s für die Golfpost verkünden.

Kreativität wird in kaum einer Sportart so sehr benötigt wie im Golf. Jeder Schlag, jede neue Situation ist anders. Besonders Spieler wie Phil Mickelson (Foto: Getty), die sich durch ihr risikoreiches Spiel in unangenehme Situationen bringen, müssen neue zielorientierte Strategien entwickeln, um den Ball mit möglichst wenig Schlägen im Loch unterzubringen. Was ist Kreativität eigentlich und ist diese erlernbar?

It’s been a long winter without golf in England. Frozen
courses and the lockdown have kept us at home. I’ve been looking for a way to
keep the golf bug going and I found it. YouTube!

I
bought some new Cobra Storm Grip Golf Gloves but will they work and hold up to
the tough British rain?

You might have seen in a recent Fun Golf review my
top choice for the best golf rain glove was the Cobra Storm Grip Winter Golf
Gloves. So I thought it was now time to go outside during a storm and put them
to the test! Did they work?

If you’re a beginner golfer, you might have heard about golf rangefinders but maybe your not 100% sure what they do or how they are used in golf.

 Nick Faldo said his win over Norman in ‘96 was the only time he ever felt sorry for an opponent! 

...but who was better and how does history view Greg Norman and Nick Faldo? 

What do you think??

As the 2021 Masters gets closer I thought I’d reflect on one of the games best rivalries...

This is quite a difficult decision with many golfers views being split. Personality wise Faldo was not popular among his peers at his peak for his single minded approach to his game and stoic nature. 

Sam Torrance was famously quoted as saying Nick Faldo is “an asshole”. In comparison Norman is beloved by many across the world fondly known as “The Great White Shark”.?

In terms of golf, Faldo was ranked No. 1 in the world for 87 weeks. He had 41 professional wins including 30 victories on the European Tour and six golf majors. 

In contrast Norman spent 331 weeks ranked number 1 golfer in the world rankings. Norman also won 89 professional tournaments, he won two of golfs majors. 

Norman was inducted into the golf hall of fame in 2001 reportedly with the highest ever percentage of votes at 80%, so a popular choice.
Faldo was inducted into the golf hall of fame in 1997.

Faldo was widely considered the best golfer during the 90’s and his 6 major victories was more than any other golfer during this time.

The decision of who was the better will come down to how do you rate their performance, wins on tour or major victories. 

There were question marks over Norman’s mental strength to see out victory in the major golf tournaments (where it really mattered) with his six shot capitulation to Faldo in the 1996 US Masters a classic example. Faldo would win this one for me.

My overall view though is that it’s a combination of playing success and legacy.

Due to this Norman would top my list. Being world number one for a considerably longer time than Faldo and having a legacy of admiration and fond memories among the majority of golf fans and professionals alike.   

If you want to get the most of watching golf at home, these simple ideas should give you the inspiration to recreate the atmosphere of being at a tournament without leaving your government-sanctioned, social bubble.

We finally have a date, 29th March. After a long wait, we’ll finally be able to get back on golf courses in England in just a few short weeks. I’m sure those of us stuck in London during the lockdown will be as keen as ever for a breath of fresh air.

Tiger Woods is generally considered
the greatest golfer, not only of a generation but of all time. Why is this, and
how does he stack up against the greats of the past? Does he deserve this title
and recognition? In this article I will review the elements which I believe
make him the best golfer of all time.

Previously it was just the weather and
time which prevented enthusiastic golfers from practicing as much as they would
like to, today it’s the repeated lockdowns. The United Kingdom
has the largest number of golf courses in Europe. With over 1800 courses with
the nearest country Germany, having only 700 courses. The most recent
statistics showed that in 2020 there were over 1 million registered golfers in
the UK, and this doesn’t account for those not attached to a club. Therefore,
as you can probably imagine the UK wide lockdown and closure of all golf
courses will have a significant impact on many golfers. Not only will this
place a huge strain on the finances of countless golf clubs and complexes, but
also have a significant impact on a golfer’s ability to keep their game sharp
with weeks of no golf. How can keen golfers, looking to improve their game ensure that they get
the required amount of practice when away from the golf course? Our answer is
to set up a home golf practice facility.
