carpenter852003 asked: The golf scores for the 20 members of a country club were as follows:
81, 76, 107, 95, 119, 92, 83, 74, 108, 88
95, 74, 83, 76, 97, 82, 79, 91, 93, 89
Create a relative frequency histogram using a ten point intervals to show the distribution of the scores.
In the above question, do I create the full class limits table, or just the relative frequency in a histogram with bin and frequency? This question threw me off the chart. Can you please help?
Actually, I have to create an entire table for the frequencies and relative frequencies, because I must divide. class frequency divide by total class frequencies. Before I do that, i have to create the table for class limits and class boundaries, then the frequency, and relative frequency, then the histogram. I got it.

It may seem unlikely to you that golf fitness training can help up your golf statistics 100 percent, but it is entirely possible. Like singing, playing the piano or basketball, golf is a skill that can be improved upon. With proper fitness, training, guidance and practice, you can absolutely improve your game.
Many people think of golfing as a leisure time activity outside of professional golf, but for amateur golfers the relevance of whether fitness and golf have any relation to one another seems unimportant. After all, golfing is a popular activity among the retirement crowd, so how fit do you need to be to play golf well if those much older than you can do it? The truth is that a good number of those older folks playing golf may have better golf stats than you because they have fitness behind their golf swings and precision line drives.
It may be that you play golf in your leisure time for fun and relaxation, but does that mean you cannot get the most out of the time you spend golfing? It takes balance, stamina, strength, concentration, and a good understanding about the mechanics of golf to play it very well. The more fit your body is the better your balance, stamina, and strength is. Fitness training can help you achieve better fitness more completely and in less time than exercising to become more fit on your own. Combine the fitness and golf training offered by professional golf fitness trainers and you have a winning combination that can help you up your golf stats by as much as a 100 percent.
Working with a golf fitness trainer you will learn what foods to eat to power your body up for spot on golf swings and impressive yardage out of your drives. You will be learning about and doing exercises that are geared towards increasing the lining up and power of your golf swings and drive yardages. You can also increase your golf stats a 100% by working with a golf fitness trainer.
You may be performing techniques improperly and poor form is hampering your game, and it is next to impossible to always see where you are going wrong unless you videotape yourself. Even then you may need an expert to evaluate your skills and pinpoint trouble areas. A golf fitness trainer can bring to your attention when you are performing a technique wrong and demonstrate how to properly perform various golfing techniques so that your game will improve.
Many of the muscles you use to golf with are muscles that need to be strong, fit, and healthy to power the functions of body organs like the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and central nervous and immune systems in the body as well as to provide the power to maintain balance and aid in motion. Starting to work with a golf fitness trainer now and undergoing a full golf fitness training program will build the strength, fitness, and health of your muscles and your entire body so that you will be enjoying better golf playing, health and living well into your retirement years.
Golf fitness training is even suggested for older or the retired who want to spend more time playing golf. Older golf players can increase their golf skills and also strengthen their bodies balancing muscles to prevent falls. Golf fitness training increases muscle and joint flexibility which we all need regardless of our age so we can move with ease and not sprain and strain muscles and joints.
You can up your golf stats and your stats for living longer and healthier 100% by working with a golf fitness trainer. Schedule a consultation to learn more about golf fitness training and how working with a golf fitness trainer can help you up your stats soon.

Andy West asked:
So you’ve made the big decision and you’re ready to spend a lot more time swinging your clubs. You’re signing up for golf school. But how do you know which school to go with and where do you start in narrowing down your options?
With so much information out there to sift through, the process can get pretty overwhelming. To help you get a head start, here are some of the key factors to keep in mind when deciding which golf school is best for you.
Since you’re probably planning to make a career in golf once you finish schooling, it’s important to find a school that will give you the biggest return on your investment, both in time and dollars.
That’s why one of the first things to consider is the credibility and reputation of the golf programs in contention. Do plenty of research and check out the accreditation of each school, followed by an in depth comparison of the courses offered. It’s also a good idea to study up on the background of the school. Ask important questions like “how long has the program been around?” and “how has the school evolved since its beginning?” In addition to all that, see if the golf schools you’re interested in have received any special awards or achievements that might help bump them up in the standings.
Another thing you’ll want to look into is the team of instructors each golf school has put together. You should be able to locate a list of instructor bios for each program and get a better idea of their experience levels, depth of knowledge and specific areas of expertise.
Plus, you definitely don’t want to overlook the school’s alumni programs and efforts in assisting with job placement once students graduate. You’ll want to see if the schools offer any special programs or resources that will help you get off your feet and started in your golf career.
You can also look for more detailed statistics on things like the number of students successful in their career search and what kinds of employment opportunities they’ve found. Alumni programs may also be a helpful tool in finding contacts that can provide first hand information on attending the golf school.
Something you’ve probably already given a lot of thought to is location. Are you willing to make a big move across the country to follow your dream or would you rather stick closer to your roots? Once you have an idea of where you’re willing to travel and narrowed your list of top picks, touring a few golf schools is a great idea in terms of finding the best fit.
Another two things to consider in the location equation are the quality of courses you’ll be playing on and the overall weather. You want to be sure you’re getting your training on the best greens possible and that you can tolerate whatever Mother Nature brings to that area.
Of course money is also a huge consideration in your quest to find the right golf school and a thorough look at your budget is a must. Do some planning beforehand to make sure you have the means to live and play comfortably.
Hopefully you now have a better idea of some of the main things to look for when choosing a golf school. As long as you do your homework and consider things like the program’s reputation, instruction and location, you’ll be well on your way to selecting the school that is meant for you.

John Lynch asked:
r with a clear understanding of the biomechanics of the golf swing will have a huge advantage over the golfer who doesn’t have a clue.
First, the definition of biomechanics - “The study of the action of external and internal forces on the living body, esp. on the skeletal system.”
Anyone who has played this great game of golf knows intimately the external and internal forces on the body when you swing a golf club.
I soon realized the complexities in not only understanding these external and internal forces in a sound golf swing, but also in the managing of these forces.
After much study and much play, I realized the secret to a sound golf swing is first you must understand how these forces work in the golf swing, then you must put these internal and external forces in alignment so they work in harmony.
This is key to developing a powerful golf swing you can repeat over and over again.
The biomechanics of golf swing operate along the laws of physics and anything we do that works against these laws will only further delay the learning process.
I hope this scientific discussion on the biomechanics of the golf swing helps you as much as it has helped me.
Jon Barrett of Golf Swing Eureka carried out a survey and asked golfers the question: Which part of the body contributes the most to club head speed?
The answer to this question was to make a profound impact on my understanding of the biomechanics of the golf swing. Most golf pros NEVER talk about this fact yet it is the determining factor in creating effortless power in the golf swing.
Only 20% got the answer right!
That’s only 1 in every 5 golfers!
And these golfers ranged from scratch golfer to high handicapper.
Curiously this figure relates to another golfing statistic - Do you know that only 20% of golfers have a handicap of less than 18?
I believe these same 20% of golfers understand this crucial biomechanical aspect of the golf swing.
Which part of your body do you think contributes the most to club head speed?
Is it:
- Shoulders
- Arms
- Hands
- Hips
- Legs
- Torso
- Wrists
The answer:
***THE HANDS CONTRIBUTE THE MOST TO CLUB HEAD SPEED!!!***
High handicap golfers usually “hold on” through the impact area causing a weak hit resulting in a slice or a push shot.
The reason High handicappers “hold on” through impact I believe is because they do NOT have a clear biomechanical understanding of what creates club head speed…
Let me make an illustration that will “hammer home” (excuse the pun) this biomechanical concept in the golf swing. Try to hammer a nail without breaking your wrist…just use your arms and body…keep your wrist rigid…not much power, huh?
Now hammer the nail by only breaking or releasing your wrist, no body, no arms…much more power huh? You are using biomechanical angular and centrifugal forces to create much power with very little effort…
Much like golf!
Have you ever seen that trick shot golfer on the golf channel? He can hit a golf ball 275 yards while kneeling on the ground. This totally blows the cover off the notion it is the lower body that contributes most to club head speed…don’t ya think?
Do you think all his power still comes from his lower body?
Effortless power comes from a full release of the hands through the impact area…have you ever watched pro golfer Sergio Garcia’s hand action through the golf ball? This is how a 150LB person can crush 300 yard drives…they have mastered this move.
By far the most important force in the biomechanics of the golf swing is a full hand release through the golf ball…
Once you learn a full release through the golf ball you will be on your way to great golf…
Hit ‘em Long and Straight!

Sign S asked:
The re-build of The Sarawak Club at Jalan Taman Budaya, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia should impose the restricted for none drinking zone club. Muslim member drinkers high intoxicated to the extent of provoking and insulting other club members drinking. Not to be spared is the Sarawak Club by allowing easy access for the Muslim Club members into the lobby, Main Hall, Hornbill Bar, Badger Bar, Rajah Room, Hornbill Restaurant, Snooker Room and etc…. The awful management of the said club is simply ignoring the fact that drinking is forbidden among the Muslims. Usually weekend, you will be awestruck to find Muslims during the whole night away to their hearts’ content drinking with The General Manager / Annie Sim.If action is not taken against it, you will see the statistic of muslim drinkers escalating before your very eyes. Instead the club ban muslim drinker, they ban smoking. The Council should not issue the F & B Liquor licences to Sarawak Club and The new UNIMASClub (Golf Course). Left unchecked these ‘black sheep muslims’ will tarnish the image of the Well-preserved Muslims in the society. Ala……..Can someone in West Malaysia help the sick Sarawak?

Playing golf is expensive; you have to buy all the essential golf equipment, golf accessories, and pay membership fees or green fees. Many will also need to invest in professional golf swing lessons and other golf learning supplies. Unfortunately, you will find that there is always something else that you "must" invest in - like golf bag accessories.
The following top 3 golf bag accessories are not necessary for everyone. Untidy golfers won’t want the first one, golfers that don’t travel to play golf in other parts won’t need the second one, and for those that play golf in cold climates might not need the third one.
A Golf Bag Organizer
If you do find that you have no where suitable to store your golf bag and equipment, then you should get a golf bag organizer. Apart from keeping everything in one place, a good golf bag storage unit will protect your valuable golf equipment. When you go to play your next round of golf, you can just grab your golf bag of the rack and you are ready to go.
You will find that most golf bag organizers are sturdy, functional, efficient, and even stylish. They are either designed to be hung on the wall, or sit on the floor, and hold one or two golf bags, along with various shelves for shoes, towels, gloves and whatever other gear you might want to keep in one place. There are many styles and materials to choose from, like hardwood finishes, tubular metal, and even plastic.
Golf Travel Bags
If you do indeed travel with your clubs, whether it's for a business excursion, or an extended golf vacation, it's important to know that you've got everything you need to make your round pleasurable. To make sure all your gear arrives safely and intact, you will need a golf travel bag.
There are basically two types to choose from. The first is an all-in-one combo golf bag and travel bag. Many golfers like the ease and practicality of a special golf club travel bag that doubles as a travel case. The other type is for golfers that don't want to un-pack their everyday golf bag and relocate everything into a travel bag. Alternatively, you can buy a quality travel case, and simply store your bag and golf equipment inside the case for travelling.
Golf Bag Coolers
A golf bag cooler is the last of my top 3 golf bag accessories. If you find yourself playing golf when it is over 100 in the shade, and you’re far from a beverage cart or water fountain, you can get an insulated golf bag cooler. These handy items are insulated, waterproof, and soft-sided, so they can be stored in any large opening in your bag.
Golf bag coolers come in different shapes and sizes that can keep cool 6 to 12 cans of your favorite cold drink. You can pack these watertight bags with ice, or you can use cooler packs that can be re-frozen for repeat use. Because coolers come with a handy shoulder strap, they can also be carried as an all-purpose travel cooler.
So, depending on whether you want to get your golf gear in order, enjoy more golf trips, or keep your cool on the golf course, I am sure you will find a golf bag accessory for you. By the way, if you play golf in Scotland or Ireland, you will need another golf bag accessory - a golf umbrella!

Custom Golf Clubs Video
Before you make up your mind about buying custom made golf clubs it will be to your advantage to consider buying a set that has golf clubs that will exactly fit with your style of play. Yes, custom golf club sets can be a big advantage over the ones that you will get from a golf store because they offer many benefits including allowing a golfer to play to his or her best abilities.
Every golfer must per force have to face the challenge of striking the golf ball long and hard down the fairway and it is therefore vital that they choose their golf club driver with great care to ensure that they achieve their goals. Of course, one must also practice long and hard in order to achieve consistency with striking the golf club with a golf club driver, and so, it is not enough to have a good driver: learning how to strike it with consistency is also very important.
It is entirely up to you whether you are able to master the art of driving the golf ball long and hard and it can make your golf club driver a personal best friend, or in case you cannot overcome your inconsistency the driver can easily become your worst enemy. It is obvious that you can improve your golf game only if you have the best quality golf club driver and so, you should, at the very outset, learn and know how to choose one that will help you improve your game.
In case you do decide on buying a custom golf club set, you should then ask the builder to ensure that there is nothing lacking when it concerns the lie, loft, flex and length as well as type of club being made for you. What’s more, the clubs must be constructed so as to complement your golf swing and in this regard you can even get your clubs made to have their own slice or draw built into the clubs.
Another aspect to buying custom golf club sets is knowing which clubs are absolutely necessary and which you can do without. Most certainly, there should be a putter, a driver, three and five woods, and perhaps a three iron as well as nine iron and either a wedge or a two iron or some other combination of irons and wedges.
The shaft too must be chosen with care and it is better to keep things as simple as possible and in fact, using shafts made from steel or graphite will suit a vast majority of golfers very well; though, titanium ones that are more expensive can prove to be very effective as well. Another aspect to golfing equipment is the golf club irons and here you have the option of buying a complete set of golf irons or you could pick and choose irons that you feel will serve you well.
Buying your golf club driver can be a very important decision and if you get things right, you should be able to lower your handicap; however, if things don’t work out right, it could mean regretting your purchase and being frustrated with your game.
