There is a lot of technology that goes in to the development of many golf products. From golf clubs to golf balls, there is more technological input than in any other sport.

We often wonder where it might end, but there is a lot more exciting developments yet to come.

Imagine never having to worry about losing your golf ball again, unless of course it lands in a water hazard.

GPS tracking might be the next step to help you find your golf ball no matter where you might hit it.

The technology is already there to embed devices into golf balls so they can be tracked via GPS.

There will be the inevitable increase in price but think of all the money that you could save by never losing a ball again.

If you consider the number of goof balls that are recovered on golf courses each week that could add up to a substantial saving across the board.

As these devices become smaller and smaller their applications become more plausible with items such as balls that can be tracked.

There would be a market for such a ball, and where there is a demand someone will certainly decide to supply it sooner or later.

With advances in golf club designs we might all be driving as far as the Pros of today helped by the constant development of golf balls that are easier to hit and travel further in the process.

There is one thing that will always make golf a continuous challenge that we will never fully master and that is the human factor.
We can have all the best golf clubs, golf balls, shoes and more and still make a mess of the simplest shot.

And that is why so many people all around the world go out week after week and try to master the game.

One of the things that all golfers struggle with is a consistent golf swing. Amateurs and professionals alike go thru the same ups and downs. There are times when we are in the zone and can do no wrong and other times when we can’t seem to hit a golf shot, no matter what we do.

For most golfers, the ability to rush down to the local pro for a tune up just doesn’t fit into our finances or our schedules.

So how can the average golfer minimize this roller coaster ride with their golf swing?

By understanding what to look for in your golf swing, you can quickly make adjustments in your swing.

Many Golfers struggle with hillside lies for a couple of reasons. Either they fail to make solid contact with the ball or they lose balance during the shot. Apply these 4 tips to help you save strokes on hillside lies.

With side hill and downhill lies, the tendency is to lean into the hill during the swing.

This will result in inconsistent shots; and you end up hitting fat or thin shots. When you make clean contact on hillside lies, you’ll hit the golf ball straighter and save strokes.

The key to this shot is making sure your shoulders match the hill’s slope, which you can do with a simple adjustment of your front foot.

Below are 4 tips to making clean contact with hillside lies:

1. Start with club selection.

a. An uphill lie will cause your shot to have more loft in your golf shot, so you need to choose a less lofted golf club.

b. With a downhill lie there will be less loft from your golf shot, so you will need to use a more lofted club.

2. Next you will need to adjust where you position the golf ball in your stance.

a. When playing an uphill lie you want to play the ball forward in your stance an inch or two.

b. With a downhill lie you need to play the ball in the middle or a bit further back in your stance.

3. Flare your downhill foot to even out your stance.  This will put the ball at the bottom of your swing.  This will keep you from hitting the ball fat or thin.  Flaring your foot will also give you more freedom of movement in your backswing and will help you maintain your balance.

4. Finally, match your shoulders to the slope of the hill and take a normal swing. The adjustments you made in preparing for the shot will allow you to hit your golf shot squarely.

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned golfer you know that golf is a great game that can frustrate the best. Golfers are always looking for that adjustment that will help them improve their golf game. You can become your own teacher by observing the flight of your golf ball.

Ball flight is determined by the swing path and the position of the club face at impact. By studying the way the golf ball travels you can get a better understanding of what adjustments you can make to correct a misguided golf shot.

The ideal swing is one where the golf club approaches the golf ball from inside the target line, is square to the target at impact and then comes back inside during the follow-through.

One of the most common swing faults is an inside-out swing. The golf club approaches the ball from inside the target line, but then continues to travel to the outside, never actually squaring with the target at any point in the swing.

Most of the golf shots from this type of golf swing will start to the right. Where the shot actually finishes is determined by the position of the club face at impact.

If the face is square to the inside-out path, the golf ball will continue to travel right.

If the club face is closed (aiming left), then the result will be that of a hook with the golf ball starting right then curving left.

If the club face is open (pointing right), the golf ball will start to the right and continue traveling to the right.

To counter an inside-out swing try bringing the golf club straight back as long as possible during the takeaway phase of your back swing. During the forward portion of the swing try to have your hands roll over just after impact. This will cause to golf club to return to an inside path.

An outside-in swing brings the club face into the ball from outside the target line and continues to move to the inside of the target line, never actually squaring with the target at any point in the swing.

If the club face is square, the golf ball flies dead left, called a “pull.” An open face makes the golf ball curve sharply left to right. A closed face makes the golf ball curve even further left.

You can correct an outside-in swing by bringing the golf club inside the line during the takeaway.

A proper inside-square-inside swing starts the ball straight. Any subsequent movement is the result of club face alignment:

If the club face is open the golf ball will bend to the right.

On the other hand, if the club face is closed the golf ball will curve to the left.
