No, not just a color in your Crayola Box, it is now possible to have your own private putting green in your own yard. For the avid golfer it might seem like a dream come true to have your own green. Do they know what is involved? Let’s look at some facts.

You don't have to understand all the ins and outs of the golf swing in order to play well, but it certainly will help.

A person usually cannot pick up a golf club for the first time and swing it with perfection.

But, the body can learn the correct way to swing a golf club.

One gotcha is to be sure to NOT lift your head to view the alignment of the club face during the back swing and/or downswing.

The best focusing points for a consistent swing are:

Tiger Woods is absolutely the very best golfer on the planet week in and week out. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who would argue that point with you. He seems to be able to focus and produce fantastic scores even when he’s obviously not at his best.

His drives fly so far that they really should serve food on them or at the very least, drinks. His iron shots somehow manage to finish around the hole from even the worst of situations. From 50 yards and in, he is unbelievable. He manufactures chips and pitches from all sorts of lies and hazards that defy logic and if I had to wager my life on someone dropping a side-hill ten footer, you can bet that someone would be Tiger Woods.

Have you ever had to face the situation where you hit a ball you thought was rolling in only to see it move widely to the right? Chances are that you misunderstood the green if this has happened. Experience, sound judgment and skill are required for proper reading of the greens; so teaches my golf lessons.

In addition every golfer's physical capability and swing is idiosyncratic. Many of today's top golf clubs can be custom fit for lie angle, shaft type and length, grip type and size. Custom fitting golf clubs involves assorted easy measurements and a fast self-assessment of your game. This custom golf club has become more than a fad that even not so professional golfers probe its waters.

Custom fitting is the means for tailoring a golf club to customize your personal swing.

It should come as no surprise that some of the most expensive golf clubs in the country are found in and around Las Vegas. It’s just not as easy as you might think to keep a lush green in the middle of a desert! That said, many private golf courses in the area don’t even list rates, so one can only guess how steep the rates actually are. But there are still a number of private and public courses where you can go and play a great round of golf - and still leave the green with some greenbacks in your wallet.
