With the new year fast approaching it means that golf season and the Master's are just around the corner. The new year brings a chance for change and buying the latest, coolest equipment for the upcoming season.
If you’re heading into your garage or garden shed to find a dusty, neglected pair of
golf shoes, it’s probably the time to start looking for a shiny, new pair.
Golf shoes need plenty of care and attention to keep them at their best performance, and if yours are looking a little dated, and your just not getting the performance out of them you're looking for, you may find the new technology advances and standard of shoes could improve your game in ...
In the not-to distant future a new golf app will be launched. It's going to be very special. It allows golf fans to interact with their favorite pro golf tournaments.
It's been something I have wanted to do for quite some time now but like anything else I just have not had the time.
I really can't say too much about before it's launched. But I DO encourage you to sign up at our launch page to get early access and pleasantly infrequent updates via email and Twitter.
We also encourage you to spread the word via your social media outlets. Heck, it'll be fun to spread some golfing joy throughout the internet ...
If the Nike Lunar Control fits your foot, I highly recommend you give them a try. I'm confident after the first 9 holes you'll know you made the right choice.
Truth be told, there will probably never be a 'last word' on Ben Hogan's swing. As long as people play this game there will be speculation and unquenched curiosity about one of the game's greatest and most mysterious players. There's a new book -
Tom Bertrand's 'The Secret of Hogan's Swing' - that is the best I've ever encountered on Hogan's fundamentals.
If you are a golf swing student and/or a Hogan fan, then you need to read this book whether you ever incorporate Hogan's style into your game or not. It's straightforward and easy to read with just enough photos to get ...
It's an odd thing to be thinking about playing golf in Cape Cod in the middle of the winter but I've been planning a getaway in midsummer to play some of my favorite Cape Cod Golf Courses, most of which I haven't played in years.
See, I live in Western, Ma, which is about 2.5+ hours Southeast from here. It's not a bad ride but nothing spectacular either. But once you cross the Bourne Bridge - ah, Cape Cod awaits you.
I have a lot of fond memories of the Cape as my parents used to take my brothers and I on vacation there almost every year. This was back in the ...
Finally, there's a cure for all of this. I happen to discover a great application for the iPad when I got mine. It's called 'Everyday Golf Coach HD'. It's basically exactly what the name implies. It's having a competent human being at your fingertips to show and tell you about most every aspect of hitting a ball from the full swing to all the different shots you generally encounter during a round including putting.
Are you a golfer or a player? Here's the difference: A golfer gets up on the first tee thinking about arm angles, plane, rotation and a lot of other 'swing thoughts'. A player steps up to the first tee thinking how he is going to take whatever swing he has and use strategy and his smarts to play the best round possible.
Ok, here's an update on my recent post
The Quest for a New Driver.
I'll cut right to the chase. The
Ping G15 driver I initially purchased was sent back the day after I took it to the range. I just could not hit the club. Everything was a slice or peeled off to the left (I'm left-handed) with a severe loss in distance.
This is probably due to the wrong loft. I purchased an 8.5 degree when I usually hit a 10.5. 2 degrees is not a lot but when it comes to a flatter face club like the driver it makes all the difference. I believe the shaft ...
So I have been on a quest a for a new golf driver for about a month now. Finding the right driver can be both maddening and fun at the same time but I've made my choice.
I kept hemming and hawing about it because I did not play as much as anticipated in the last few years but I have re-dedicated myself to playing substantially more in 2010.
I have had the same Cobra driver now for 3+ years and it was just time to upgrade. It was a 360cc head and I felt like it was just losing it's pop. Maybe that was psychological, not sure, but anyway, it ...
I'm always surprised when I have a preconceived notion about something, only to discover something that completely changes my mind. Harmon's 'Four Cornerstones of Winning Golf' is just such a book. If you want a solid, simple accurate reference manual on how to play better golf, then this book is as good as any.
