Golf Impact Indicator »


In a game of good golf, everyone is worried one way or another about golf swings. Articles had been written, videos had been taped, and destinies had been written, perfectly dividing those who can and who can’t do golf… or do a competitive golf swing.

To answer the pleas of the thousand frustrated golfers (me included), technology made the golf impact indicator. So what is this breakthrough science of golf impact indicator? First let’s tackle about the most horrible aspect of golf: the golf swing.

Too often we see these PGA Tour golfers swagger about and doing those textbook swings. And we try to emulate their key successes often with various results.

80% of the emulators fail, because while it is insanely easy to look at those swings, it is disgracefully hard to execute them on the field. Mind you, I can hit a ball squarely with a club; just don’t look at the results. It may be a banana for the life of me.

Golfers do need to study their shots. Because within that split second execute is the key where I did the fatal flaw which resulted the ball plunking over the nearest bunker. That’s where Golf Impact Indicators comes in.

Golf Equipment »


Golf EquipmentFor a sport that is notoriously reputed to be very expensive sport to participate in, a game Of golf surprisingly requires the least amount of golf equipment to play.

That’s saying basically about the game, since there are those who can do fairly well with just one golf club, only modifying the power and direction of the swing. What makes a golf game relatively expensive instead are those aside.

Golf Clubs

Golf equipment first and foremost needs a golf club. Golf isn’t a game where equipments can be shared comfortably, so individual golf clubs are of utmost importance. There are four basic categories for golf clubs and they are woods, hybrids, irons, and putters.

Woods – these clubs are the longest, with shafts that measure 40-47 inches, having large heads with spherical shape. Woods are often referred as driver and are most ideal in hitting off the tee, or on situations requiring definitive carries or drives.

Irons – irons are the most versatile golf clubs, some players even make do on a golf game using only an iron. They are shorter than the woods, around 36-40 inches on the shaft.

Hunting Cheap Golf Clubs »


Cheap Golf ClubsGolf isn’t a game for the wealthy anymore. Public places like the Pebble Beach G. Links is a public golf course.

Meaning, as opposed to the usual practice of the past in allowing only the club members access to the golf course, public golf course allows non membership access provided though that the green fee is played.

While it is a refreshing though, the rate to play on this public golf course is staggering expensive, it cost $425 plus $25 cart fee to play. While you do you best to scrape enough to play at Pebble Beach G.

Links (BTW, Pebble Beach is named the most picturesque golf course in Western United States), you should also scrape when it comes to buying golf equipment for your use. Always use cheap golf clubs if you can.

Most common misinformation is this; cheap items like cheap golf clubs have also correspondingly cheap quality. That is purely hypothetical and wrong. Cheap doesn’t have to sacrifice quality, there are shops that sell bargain clubs at really rock bottom prices.

These clubs are first rate but got out of production too late that more favorable versions were bought. Some of them are 2nd hand top quality golf clubs but is still in excellent condition.

Use Training Aids For Golf Putting »


training aids for golf puttingI still think that training aids are a gimmick.

Recently, however, I found myself thinking of using training aids for golf putting. It’s not that I noticed anything different or peculiar – all my game is different and peculiar!

That never stopped me from taking on a great challenge. Maybe it’s this angle that got my attention.  I’d like to be able to say that I am a good putter.

What’s In A Putt?

Long before training aids for golf putting even existed, back in the days of Putt Putt Golf (if you don’t know what I mean, that’s ok), I used to be a good putter.

I was twelve or thirteen and on Saturday mornings I would go clean all the greens and get free golf until noon.  Over and over I’d practice angle shots, over the hump shots, bank shots off the windmill, etc.  And yes, I was pretty good at it.  I almost won a tournament once.

After Puberty

When the time came to hit the real golf links, it wasn’t as a golfer.  I became a caddy as soon as they would let me on the course.  Carry two bags 18 holes and you know you’ve done something.

Strength Training Program For Golf Now »


Now, I can already hear you saying you already have a fitness program in place – fair enough. What we’re talking about here is a strength training program for golf that is specific. We’ll look at the training elements, plan strategies and try to squeeze in some golf too.

Training Elements

In order to establish a strength training program for golf, we start with the basics – health and physical fitness.  I’ll let you make your own definition of healthy but will give a working definition for physical fitness.

Physical fitness relates to the condition of the human body, in which all organs are functioning normally, with sufficient strength to endure everyday use and occasional stress without adverse effects.

Fitness also implies a healthy cardiovascular system and a good muscular and skeletal state of affairs.

Naturally, strength plays a pivotal part in fitness, but a strength training program for golf is something else.  We start with fitness and then add task specific exercises – demands for golf are unique and differing from other sports.

For example, building a strong chest, back and abs is excellent golf training.  Range of motion, flexibility and stretching exercises would be also be included in an intensive golf regimen.
