Look Good, Feel Good, Play Better

A large part of playing well in competitive tournaments. Playing well in tournaments requires a great deal of confidence. An easy way to gain confidence is to look good and feel good about yourself. There are many different ways to be unique and every golfer has his own style. The key to looking good is doing it for a low price. (because golf clothes can get a tad bit pricey.) If I had to buy an outfit right now it would be this:

This Adidas golf polo is a high performance shirt. It is made to soak up sweat as well as be light weight and keep you cool. A shirt like this runs around $40. Making it a steal for what its quality. 

I would pick these Adidas shorts for one because they match the shirt perfectly. They are priced around $60 but when it comes to shorts you get what you pay for so that decision is up to you. 

For $100 I just put together a very confident building outfit that will have me playing golf with the utmost confidence.

Type of Golf Competitions

The two basic forms of playing golf are Match play and Stroke play. Although there are many other tournament formats that exist. Stableford, Four ball, Scramble, and Chapman.

Stroke Play: 
Stroke play is the most common form of competition at most professional tournaments. In stroke play, every player competes all 18 holes and counts the total number of strokes and the player with the lower total score wins.

Match Play:
In match play, two players play ever hole as a separate contest against each other. The player with the lower score wins the hole, regardless of how many shots he won the hole by. If the scores of both players are equal the hole is "haved" (draw). The game is won by the player that wins more holes than the other.
