Computer Active's Excellant Webguide
PGA
Tour
www.pgatour.com |
|
Benefiting
from a recent redesign, the PGA Tour site contains the latest news and
results from all the tournaments on the European Tour circuit.
Although it covers every tournament
throughout the year, the site really comes into its own when the majors,
such as the British Open, are in full swing. With intelligent analysis
from the Golf Web team and instantly-updated scores, it's the best place
to be if you can't be lining the fairway. |
TV
Golf
www.tvgolf.net |
|
| Essentially
a news based service, this site will keep you bang up to date with the
latest happenings in the world of golf. Exhaustive and comprehensive, there's
news of the major tournaments around the world, of course, but also details
of new courses being built and developments in golf technology. The centrepiece
of the site is a RealPlayer driven television channel, which is updated
weekly. Featuring everything from tips on improving your stroke play to
the latest in golfing fashion, it's one of the best of its kind anywhere
on the web. |
The
Amateur Golf Adviser

|
| One
of the beauties of golf is that no matter how good your game, there's always
room for improvement. Everyone from beginners to good club players will
get something out of this huge site. Divided into a number of sections,
there's a huge volume of common sense hints and tips culled from books
and articles written by experts. From basic swing through to putting technique,
all that remains is for you to put the theory into practise on the fairway. |
Golf
Courses
www.golfcourses.org |
|
| If you're
a keen golfer, you're bound to want to play when visiting another part
of the country. Often, the problem is knowing which nearby courses are
best suited to you, how much it costs to play and what the restrictions
are. Fortunately, this site features a large directory of most of the courses
in the country, from small municipal ones to championship links. An excellent
search engine will lead guide you to the perfect course and you'll find
that selected courses are covered in more detail. You can also buy clubs
and accessories in the online shop. |
Golf
Online
www.golfonline.com |
|
You'll
scarcely be able to believe the amount of golf-related content available
on this well-implemented site. Operated by the US-based Golf Magazine,
you'll find all the information you could possibly require on both improving
your own game and checking out what the pros are up to.
Regular online polls and a
plethora of message boards imbue the site with a sense of community that
is lacking from other sporting supersites and you should be able to find
advice on everything from driving to putting. |
Golf
Today
www.golftoday.co.uk |
|
Concentrating
on the UK and European golf scene, the best thing about this businesslike
site is the up-to-date news and exclusive feature articles and interviews.
It's also the best place to
view regularly-updated lists of the player rankings and money lists. The
icing on the cake is an easy-to-use course directory, featuring thousands
of courses around the world. The amateur golf section, meanwhile, will
keep you abreast of all the latest rule changes. |
Golf
Tracker
www.golftracker.com |
|
A great
little idea that should allow you to say goodbye to tatty scorecards, chewed
pencils and calculators forever.
Golf Tracker, which is currently
free to anyone who registers, will record every round you play and then
calculate your handicap for you. It even analyses your game to determine
where the weak spots are - perhaps your short game needs work or your driving
could be better. |
19th
Hole
www.19thhole.com |
|
A sideways
look at the game of golf that retains its sense of humour throughout. Follow
the misadventures of 'The Duffer's' as they hack their way around the course
and groan at some of the worst golfing jokes ever committed to cyberspace.
The site is not all in jest
though, with interesting articles on the psychology of the sport and keeping
fit to play. A well-used message board will also allow you to commiserate
with other golfers after a bad round. |
