- tips on how to improve your golf game, i.e. how to improve your game technically;
- tips on how to become a better scorer at golf, i.e. how to get the most out of your current game by using the right strategy;
- mental approach to better golf: how to get the most out of your current game by improving your mental game; the psychology of golf is probably one of the most overlooked parts in this game
- physics of the golf shot: a better understanding of the dynamics behind the golf shot and the concepts of loft and backspin will help you to more accurately hit the ball.
- golf practice and weight training: tips to train your flexibility, balance, strength and endurance and tricks to maintain your form during the golf's off-season.
