Want to know what this year's dumbest golf product is from the
2012 Boston Golf Expo golf show? Well, here's who gets highest honors.
I'm always surprised at how really dumb some golf products are. Keep in mind, it's only my opinion, and I apologize in advance if someone thinks this is the coolest thing since sliced "organic" bread.
Drumroll please . . .the product that gets highest honors is something called a "Teecil." It's a golf tee that has a pencil at the end you put into the ground - hence, the Teecil name.
So what am I missing here? I just don't get why the hell ANYONE would want this ...
If you have never used a foam roller on your muscles you're in for a real "tortuous" experience. I almost guarantee you'll be wincing, cursing and feeling pain like you haven't in some time. Fun, fun.
So why on Earth would you do this? To get the damn knots and adhesions out of your muscles and bring your tissue back to it's original length.
See, your muscles, in some way, represent a rubber band. It has a certain length to it, so, for example, if you tie the rubber band in a knot it only gets tighter and more uncomfortable. Then you have to use your hands to really work out the ...
Well, thank God LeBron has a new home now (Miami Heat) so we can be less distracted with his circus and on to more exciting things - like what's going on in golf!
All sorts of stuff! Yesterday 46 year old tour veteran Paul Goydas threw up an amazing 59 on his first round at the
John Deere Classic - That's 12 birdies! and get this - Steve Stricker shot a 60 with the chance to tie his 59 on the last hole! Talk about throwing darts! There were lots of low scores so this tourney looks to be super low scoring and extremely fun to watch.
Of course, the ...
I know what you're thinking, if there was really 'A Way' to get better in golf, some guy or gal out there would be richer than Tiger. You couldn't build a practice facility big enough to hold all the people who'd be throwing money your way.
In spite of that reasoning, I do believe that major improvements for golfers are just around the corner. We, or at least the golfing scientists among us, are really starting to understand what goes on in the golf swing thanks to high tech analysis tools.
But it's going to take time for it all this knowledge to trickle down. New younger pros are going to have to ...
So I added a new section on our blog which I think is pretty cool. It's called the
GolfDash Hot List.
It actually aggregates all the "hottest" golf items being auctioned on Ebay. Really some fascinating stuff. I mean, check out the number of bids (and the amount of people watching)!
The auction changes continuously so be sure to check back often to see whats HOT.
Note: in interest of full disclosure I am NOT an Ebay affiliate and make nothing (that's right, zilch!) if you purchase something via this section. Who knows - maybe that will change in the future - and if it does you will be the first to know. ...
I suppose it's not glamorous to review golf tees. It's certainly more attention getting to talk about the latest in drivers or putters. But don't be fooled because a golf tee seems so innocuous. It's an important part of the game and golf tees are not all created equal.

If you're like me, your are always on the lookout for good, interesting golf dvds.
I love golf movies, golf instructional videos, golf historical pieces, golf documentaries, you name it I will watch it. Of course, not all are exceptional but many are.
Recently I ordered a Johnny Miller instructional dvd. In his day, Johnny was one of the premier iron players on tour. He had this uncanny ability to just throw darts at the pin. Now like him or not, he had game and knows a thing or two about swing a golf club. So why not check out what he has to say?
Even ...

I walk most of my rounds of golf and I play on a lot of hilly courses. By the time I'm finished my feet can't wait for the moment of ecstasy when the shoes come off. I've worn a lot of different brands of golf shoes in my day and I can't say I've ever found one that's as comfortable as a good sneaker or walking shoe.
It must have something to do with those spikes on the bottom. It feels like most of my weight is being supported by those little ...
