Three tips for golf beginners

Posted by: user245093 | Fri 10th Jul 2009 05:02 | Last Reply

Avid golfers appreciate the game of golf for its unhurried pace, the chance to enjoy the outdoors and the addictive feeling of making a great shot, sometimes the golf bargains. And I'm talking about my feelings since I have played golf for three months. Hope to get more suggestions.

1. Don't Let Your Mind Interfere With the Game Golfers who let their emotions run wild will be on the fast track to having all balls in the rough, out of bounds or in the sand. In much the same way, investors cannot be ruled by their emotions. Fear, greed and overconfidence are powerful emotions that can lead an investor to make poor investment decisions.

2. Learn from the Masters
Avid golfers can learn a lot of tips from golf greats such as Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson, whose golf swings have been studied by both amateur and professional golfers. Similarly, novice and sophisticated investors can learn a lot from investing giants such as Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch and George Soros.

3. Be Wary of Friendly Advice.  Stock tips from friends are similar to golf tips from friends - you may have no way of knowing whether your friend's a "duffer". The hot stock tip you hear that is "sure to be a winner" could land your net worth in the bunker if you don't perform further research into the validity of the claim
