You’ve seen them everywhere you go; on TV, in the stores, on the course, even your last company golf tournament. Personalized golf novelties can very effective in almost every situation. Whether it’s advertising, promotion, celebration, or identification, these items are great.

Personalized golf tees are a great promotional tool that can be used almost like a form of business card. They can be imprinted with your name or business website on them in just about any color and size. The great thing about them is how economical they are. This type of advertising can be bought in large bulk quantities that are very cheap.

Personalized or logoed golf balls are often used as wedding favors with the bride and grooms name and special day imprinted on the ball as a memory for the guests. These logoed golf balls are also used for identification of your own ball on the course. Since every player is required to have a unique distinct marking on their own ball this is the perfect way to do it. Even the great Tiger Woods has his name marked on his Golf Balls. This can help prevent anyone else hitting your ball (and gaining a penalty) if your name is tattooed on it visibly.

You can also use these other golf novelties such as hats, visors, or t-shirts, as prizes at company parties, golf tournaments, picnics, or as simple little bonuses. They work as great advertising for the company. Everyone loves to get a free hat or t-shirt to wear so you can’t go wrong.

I am a member of a golf course and regularly find Golf Balls, some in good condition. I have quite a lot and would like to make some money by selling them. I have considered selling them to the club shop, on ebay or in a local sports shop. The p+p seems to be too expensive on ebay and i want to know which you think is the best option.

My advice, try the club shop. Fees for selling it on eBay will probably be more than you will actually get for the actual golf balls. The club shop will most likely be more dedicated to golf than the sports shop, and therefore pay a higher price.

Two guys I know were failed by their teacher, so they decided to shove a golf ball and two paper balls in the teacher’s gas tank. Will that even do anything to the car?

You could get a golf ball into some diesel trucks like F-250′s, but not a gas powered car. These guys are probably lying to you because they’re pathetic and insecure. Get new friends that aren’t losers.

The way in which you align yourself when setting up to hit a golf ball has a huge affect on how good your golf shots are going to turn out. But don’t believe me. Read what a multiple major golf champion has to say on this alignment issue:

“It goes without saying that it is no good having a perfect setup, perfect grip and perfect Golf Swing if the whole thing is misaligned. It sounds obvious but many players simply do not spend enough time getting themselves on target.”

Nick Faldo – Winner of 6 Major Championships

So hopefully you now understand the importance of golf alignment. And if you do, here’s a simple exercise that you can quickly and easily do to check your feet alignment.

To do this golf alignment exercise I want you to setup to a golf shot as normal and get comfortable. Then just before you’re ready to hit your shot, get two Golf Balls and without moving your feet place them directly behind your heels so they’re touching your feet.

Now take your feet away and go back behind your ball down the line of your target and see how good your alignment was.The beauty of doing this golf alignment exercise is that it shows you exactly where you are aligning your feet and then you can simply change the golf balls so they align correctly and then setup with these balls touching your heels.

If you’ve been aligning your feet incorrectly for a while it will feel strange aligning them correctly. But simply keep practicing it and your new feet alignment will soon become second nature.

Now that’s an easy way to check your feet alignment. But you still have to check the alignment of your knees, hips and shoulders as they also have a big affect on your golf shots success. And the absolute best way of checking this is to get a person to get a golf club and lay it across each part of your body once you’ve setup to a shot. But remember, you want each part of your body to be aligned parallel to the starting line of your golf shot.

You do NOT want your body to be aligned directly at your target.

A good way to visualize this is to picture yourself setting up on railway tracks…with the golf ball on one rail and you standing on the other rail.

Golf alignment is critical to your success and consistency so check it often, because it’s very easy to align yourself incorrectly without even knowing. But now you know exactly what you need to do to check your alignment so you have no excuse. Please make sure you check it regularly.
