If you like this sport, playing golf in Mallorca is a real joy. Do you know that there are different modalities with different standards? In this article, we want to introduce some of them. Variants of golf in Pollensa We don't intend to make a very long article, so we are only going to consider some of the most popular or significant options. Do we comment them? Stableford It's the most frequent in local tournaments, because it allows the ball to be lifted when the result is bad, so it saves time in games. The scores, which take into account each player's handicap, are assigned in relation to the pair: albatrosses, 5 points; eagle, 4 points; birdie, 3 points; pair, 2 points; bogey, 1 point; double bogey and following, 0 points. Medal play In this case, it's played by shots. It's common in professional tournaments and wins who takes the ball to the hole in the least amount of impacts. Match Play It's the other usual alternative in professional championships. The score is established in each hole: whoever does it in fewer strokes wins it and, in the end, the holes won by both rivals are added and compared. If one of them has more advantage than the missing holes, the match ends. Greensome Is played in pairs. The two members of the same team leave each hole and choose the best ball of the two. Then they play it alternately, starting with the first one who picked up his ball when he left. Fourball Known in Spanish as the “mejor bola”, it's a competition for 4 players who play their balls and score for holes (as in the Match Play). It's the most common among friends. Now that you know a few alternatives, remember that you can practice your favorite modality in the Pollensa golf courses. Playing golf in Mallorca is wonderful!

The hit of the ball is very different depending on several factors, such as the place of the field from where you play or the strategy you are using to win a particular hole. It's very important to know when to use a stick or another, which shot is the best and which elements condition the shot. Therefore, below we show you the different types of strokes so that you know how to choose the best one on each occasion.First shotIt serves to start the game and is done from the tee. It's necessary to calculate the length and the design of the hole to be able to choose the suitable stick, although it's advised to use the wooden ones when the hole is long.DriveIt's used for long distance shots, both from the tee and from the fairway. It's the best to bring the ball as close to the green as possible.PuttIt's the ideal stick for short distance shots, with its shot the ball only rolls and doesn't detach itself from the ground. It requires greater precision, so it's necessary to calculate well the force and direction of the shot.ApproachIt's used to bring the ball closer to the green. It's a blow where rhythm is very important. In addition, the contact between the ball and the club must be smooth and controlled.Safety shotIt's a strategic hit that's made to place the ball in a more favorable position in the next shot. Mostly it's used to avoid obstacles such as water, a bunker or any other element.ChipIt's a short and low shot to approach the ball to the green. The iron that's chosen depends on the distance to reach the green.PunchFor this type of shot a shorter swing than usual is performed and is usually used to prevent the ball from hitting the branches of the trees. It also minimizes the effect of the wind. It's a shot with which distance is lost, but rewarded with control.Flop A shot totally opposite to the previous one, since it's used to achieve a greater flight, enough to surpass any obstacle.Now that you have it a little clearer, we hope that you come to Golf Pollença to practice your strokes.
