Hybrids, Utility Woods, Rescue Woods… just some of the names given to hybrid rescue woods. More and more players are resorting to hybrids as an alternative to long irons but are these clubs really deliver on the hype?

Many golfers don't realise that hybrid clubs have been around for some time in one guise or another – so why are more and more hybrid golf clubs finding their way in to the bags of professional and amateur players?

The origins of the hybrid club amongst players is somewhat unclear – the general consensus says that hybrid clubs originated from Gary McCord a PGA pro – who observed his colleagues struggling with long irons. At that stage of his career McCord was sponsored by TaylorMade – who took the concept and developed a golf club which combined the features of a wood and an iron. In crude terms the manufacturer developed a new club-head based around the following properties of a golf wood: wide sole, low-back centre of gravity and increased mass and connected an iron shaft to the head.

The main difference between a hybrid club and a 5 or 7-wood is the shaft. The standard length of a 2-iron is roughly 39" and the length of a 5-wood is 42". Hybrid golf clubs are somewhere in between. A longer golf club will deliver a greater distance through increased club-head speed; the additional speed will also increase the trajectory of the ball and will prove harder to control.

Hybrid golf clubs also feature thicker shafts than woods for increase stability and accuracy. Compared to an equally lofted wood a hybrid club is more accurate, easier to use at the sacrifice of distance. When compared to a long iron a hybrid club features a larger club-head with a lower centre of gravity to increase distance and carry and will deliver a softer landing. A hybrid club can also achieve better results from the bunker or rough,

The current generation of hybrids offer a rich variety of lofts with a choice of different sole widths and face heights available. Today's hybrids are also available in a variety of lengths – some larger or shorter than standard irons and others the same length as woods. Today's hybrids are best likened to fairway woods and irons. Popular brands like Prosimmon, Confidence and Texan Classics now produce hybrid iron sets which replace long 3 and 4-irons with hybrid golf clubs (21 and 24-degrees). Online retailers such as The Sports HQ can offer exceptional discounts on hybrid rescue clubs and hybrid iron sets (from £29.99 – per set) – sourcing direct from the manufacturer – online retailers can pass on savings of up to 85% to the customer whilst offering a greater number of lines compared to a retail shop.

Online prices can range from £7.99 to £29.99 per club – typically available in lofts of 15, 18, 21 and 24-degrees. Hybrid wood sets offer the best value for money and scope for improving your game – the Confidence HQ7 Square Hybrid Wood Set for example consists of four square profiled hybrid golf clubs (15 to 24-degrees) with matching head-covers and the choice of regular or stiff flexed shafts.

Let’s be honest... no one ever invested in Orange County backyard putting greens in order to “go green.” It’s all about elevating your game to be sure, but if an added benefit of installing artificial grass was that it helped the environment wouldn’t you be on board? Of course you would, and with our Orange County golf greens that’s exactly the case. Chances are you aren’t aware of how environmentally unsound maintaining natural grass can be. This fact alone makes our synthetic turf home putting greens such a sound investment. Combine it with what our outdoor and indoor putting greens can do for your game and the positive returns are off the charts.

How, you may ask, is simply maintaining a yard of natural grass detrimental to the environment? Well, it turns out that not only is yard work not fun, it’s also a drag on both the atmosphere and our natural resources. Do you use a gas lawnmover to mow your yard? Many of us still do, and using one for just an hour is the equivalent of gassing up your car and going on a 100 mile trip. As if that weren’t enough, every time you mow you release something called hydrocarbons into the air. Once in the atmosphere these hydrocarbons reinvent themselves as smog. Of all the factors contributing to an increase in smog, chances are you never considered mowing to be one of them. Still it happens every time you cut your grass.

Water shortages are a big deal in California, and part of being environmentally conscious is conserving where you can. Studies have shown that one of the most wasteful areas in any household is water use is in maintaining natural grass lawns. In fact the average family uses approximately 25 gallons per square foot of lawn! Are you wasteful in this area? If so, just think of the money you’ll save with a backyard putting green that requires zero water or maintenance, ever. That means more money in your pocket, less yard work, and of course your very own private practice facility.

Perhaps you’ve never considered the merits of “going green,” but doing so via our putting greens requires nothing more of you outside of the initial installation. In fact the only fingers you’ll lift are the ones holding your putter! Enjoy the game you love and watch your game improve exponentially with the convenience of a Southwest Green. And be a friend to the environment in the process!

There was a time when using a motorized golf cart was something of a luxury. Most players back then used either their shoulders to carry their clubs or a three-wheeled buggy looking thing that you pulled behind you. Ah, those were the days.

In most places it's not like that anymore. Golf carts are fairly common and almost the norm. You rarely see people walking the course, which, in a way, seems sad to me. I've played courses in the last few years that more resembled bumper car games at the circus than a golf course. But there is something to be said for them. Over the years golf has become a very popular game and the average course has far more players today than it did ten years ago. With that many more players on the course, the golf cart has certainly helped in moving play along, resulting in less wait time on the tee.

In general there are two ways to have a golf cart at your disposal. You can rent one from the pro shop, which is what most people do, and this is a very good option for it keeps you from having to keep up with the maintenance of the cart. The other option is to buy your own, which can be costly at the outset but it lets you avoid those rental fees.

Buying a golf cart is a little like buying a car. You get them new or used. If you want to buy a new golf cart be prepared to pay anywhere from $4500 to $10,000 depending on the model, the seating capacity and whatever added options you may want. You will need to decide if you want a gasoline engine or an electric engine. You will need to consider a trailer (to get the thing from place to place) as well as some type of towing hitch to connect the trailer to your vehicle.

Safe and reliable used golf carts can be found in any price range, but they usually run around $2000 for a good one. This price may or may not include the trailer and hitching balls. If you are planning to buy a used golf cart, you can approach it the same way you would buying a used car. Examine the cart carefully, both topside and underneath and inspect the engine for oil leaks or frayed wires. Take it for a spin and make sure that the recharge equipment is in working order.

The Internet offers a lot of places selling both new and used golf carts. If you don't have a dealer near you, you can do a search through Google or Yahoo and come up with hundreds of dealers.

As stated earlier, golf carts have become the norm in many place and owning your own can be reasonably affordable if you do some shopping first.
