If you like to practice golf in Mallorca, we'll give you some recommendations so you can enjoy this sport to the fullest.At Golf Pollença (north of the island) we encourage you to pay attention to these tips and put them into practice.Take note and vibrate with golf in Mallorca (near Pollensa Bay)Here are some indications that will come in handy so you don't despair on the green. Pay attention.-Not having warmed up enoughAlthough it may seem to you that it's not as necessary as in other more intense sports, it's key to start off on the right foot. The same as practicing with some balls. For example, professional golfers begin to warm up an hour and a half before playing. And they do, among other things, with elastic bands in the gym. Remember, on the other hand, that warming up is not equivalent to those stretches that we recommend for you after your sports session.-Not having a clear game strategyIt's very important to be clear about the way you play before you start. If you want to remedy a habitual failure of those who aren't great strategists, shot to the green and not to the flag from the rough.-Make excusesFor example, if you play in our club, near the bay of Pollensa and the Serra de Tramuntana, never blame wind or rain. Turn around these excuses and think about how you can use these conditions against other players.-Choose the stableford formatInstead, we recommend the medal. Consider that all hits will count.In short, if you want golf to compensate you, apply these tips and don't improvise.

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. And if you need us to advise you, sign up to our academy and learn from the best professionals.

The first thing to keep in mind is that golf is a sport in which you need concentration, precision and coordination. Starting in this sport can be intimidating at first. So, if you're ready, here you have a few tips to start playing golf in the best way.1. Sign up for classesLearning on your own is a complicated task. The best way to start in this exciting sport is to take classes with a professional who knows how to tell you at all times how to improve your gestures and postures. Remember that in Pollensa Golf you can take classes with the best professionals.2. Get the necessary equipmentAt the beginning, it's enough if you rent the equipment. In Golf Pollença we can offer you the ones that you need. But if you're ready and want to get your own club equipment, we recommend that at first you only buy the basics to begin with.3. PatienceAt first, it's difficult to go directly to an 18-hole course. It's best to practice for a while before venturing on a long field. Another good option is to play a game of Pitch and Putt, a type of golf that is played in a field of reduced dimensions.4. Warm up wellIt's true that golf is not a rough sport, but during your practice many joints of the body move, so it never hurts to perform a good warm-up before you start playing.5. Keep your feet on the groundSurely you've seen more than one professional on TV making turns with their feet when making a swing. But if you are starting now, it's best to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground when hitting the ball, so you'll not lose sight of it.6. Always with a gloveAt the beginning, we hold the sticks with excessive force and this can cause blisters. So, before you start playing, take off the rings and put on a glove. You will appreciate it.7. Do not despairThe beginnings can be hard. Don't expect to send the ball to 100 meters and direct the ball to where you want. You have to practice a lot and, even so, in golf there're more bad days than good ones. But the good ones are wonderful.With these simple tips you're ready to start this exciting sport. We wait for you in Golf Pollensa!

Practicing a sport in general, is always healthy. But each one has its advantages, both for physical and mental health. Here we're going to tell you several benefits of playing this sport.1. Reduce stressWithout a doubt, it's one of the biggest advantages of this sport. To begin with, it's practiced outdoors, in a natural and relaxed environment. It's a kind of leisurely sport, in which concentration is something very important. In addition to all this, it helps to release endorphins (known as "happiness" hormones), which makes practicing this exercise to help us feel better.2. Anyone can practice itThe vast majority of sports require a great physical form, but golf can be practice practically by anyone without problems. You only need aim and concentration. Also, the fact that the fields are so big, forces you to walk a lot, which makes it a perfect activity for seniors.3. Healthy mind, healthy bodyBeing an outdoor sport, it will help you to better synthesize vitamin D (ideal for bones and blood circulation). In addition, each time you hit the ball, you tone and strengthen the muscles of the legs and arms. But it's not just that, golf helps us improve concentration, reduce stress or anxiety.4. Minimum risk of injuriesIt's a sport that has little risk of injuries, which is ideal for people with ease to suffer them or for the elderly who don't want big efforts for fear of hurting themselves. In fact, golf is the sport that has the lowest rate of injuries.So, grab your golf clubs and enjoy the golf courses in Mallorca, like the one offered by Golf Pollença!

There are many different models and types of golf clubs on the market. However, if you are looking to buy the golf clubs which are best suited to you, you should keep the following things in mind:"How to choose golf clubs"Materials:Steel clubs are the heaviest but provide more control. However, graphite clubs are the most commonly used and widely recommended because of their lightness.A right-handed or a left-handed person:If you are buying golf clubs, check to see if they are designed for a right-handed or a left-handed person. This is one of the most important criteria when buying.Durability and rigidity:The materials the golf club is made from will affect its durability and rigidity. Clubs which are less rigid will give you more height and distance.On the other hand, if what you are looking for is speed, you will need a more rigid club.Weight:Steel clubs are heavier and allow us to be more accurate with our swings. There are also hybrid golf clubs that combine materials to achieve intermediate results without you having to use a heavy club.The shape and the "head":The shape and the "head" of the club will help determine the thrust of the ball.These features will allow you to influence the ball's trajectory in one way or another.The handleAs well as the head of the golf club, another element to consider if we want to buy the best golf clubs is the handle.The handle of the golf clubs should give us a good grip and be comfortable.    Price:Price is another factor that will influence our decision when buying golf clubs.The price will vary depending on what features we are looking for in our golf club.It is very important that you are clear with regard to these aspects before buying golf clubs since your set of clubs has to be suited to you, your physical characteristics and your style of play.
