Golf / Tiger Woods

What is the difference between long and short iron in terms of swing? A golf newbie here.

Are you asking, "In terms of the way you swing?"

No difference. (not that I know of)... except maybe in the placement of the golf ball.

Ha Ha ... you need to get San to bring you to the driving range

Long irons are to hit long distance eg. 5 iron to hit about 150 yards

A short iron is for short distance eg. 9 iron to hit about 100 yards.

A wood is to hit very long distance eg. 220 yards. The good players can hit 250 yards and beyond.

There's a nice driving range in Kowloon and I have been there a couple of times. There's also a nice Thai restaurant at this driving range. I dont have the address of the place as it was my friend who brought me there ..

The driving range Winston mentioned was once CityGolf. Great maintenance and facilities with an overpriced Thai restaurant, considering that there are many good for pay thai, viet, indian restauruants here in Hong Kong. The place is a goner! Now the land is owned by Hong Kong's railway company, MTR. The driving range at Clearwaterbay and Discovery Bay are good, except they're really pricy.

Ha Ha ... yes, City Golf. I didn't know that it's a goner now

Hmmm.... time flies. It has really been a few years since I was there

I went to hit some balls ( and also provided dinner to some mosquitoes ) today.

Anyway, the 5 iron is getting better

I kept on focussing on what a coach told me a long time ago:-
1) hit softer
2) hit slower
3) grip more loosely

"What hole I'm on ? "

Hidden Content:

A guy was playing golf one day and he got lost. He saw a lady up ahead of him and went to her and said "Can you please help me, I don't know what hole I'm on".

She told him "You are one hole behind me. I'm on 7; you're on 6". He thanked her and continued playing golf. On the back nine he got lost again. He saw the same lady and went to her again kind of embarrassed.

"I'm sorry to bother you again but I'm lost again, can you please tell me what hole I'm on". She told him "you are one hole behind me. I'm on 14; you are on 13." Again he thanked her and continued playing golf.

When he finished he saw her in the clubhouse. He went up to her and asked if he could buy her a drink for helping him out. She accepted, As they were drinking and talking he asked her what she did for a living. "I'm in sales"

He replied "no kidding so am I. What do you sell?"

She said it's to o embarrassing to tell. But after he kept pleading to know what she sold she said she'd tell him if he promised not to laugh. He promised.

She said, "I sell tampons". He immediately fell to the floor laughing hysterically. She said, "You promised you wouldn't laugh". He replied "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it. I sell toilet paper. I'm still one hole behind you.
