PGA Championship…Wow What A Roller Coaster

How many of you watched the PGA this last weekend? What a roller coaster, with Dustin Johnson getting a 2 stroke penalty for grounding his club in a bunker ?

How do you feel about the ruling? He was SO classy afterwards being interviewed. I’ll guarantee you he picked up a few more fans after how he handled it with the media.

And how about Bubba’s shot on the 18th hole of the playoff ?

What was cool was what he said to the media afterwards, which was basically he would have done it exactly the same if given over. I love that?

What’s your thoughts on this year’s PGA Championship?

Mindi's Golf Fitness Centre blog (rant)

What goes on in the world can see the golf sport, to be taken seriously athletic event, instead of "cute little game", which may be made by any, if you want to do?  Golfers workout programs were not new.  Gary Player at the beginning of the 1960s was one of the first people ever thought that perhaps the physical ability to add a golfer success.  Now is a huge organisations, such as the Titleist Performance Institute, who are spending millions of dollars (and made millions) study shows that the more complete body of this high-speed, asymmetrical move, you can play better unless you play years longer!

  You can get to the point, I'm very disappointed by the US leading golf magazines: Golf Digest (GD) and Golf Magazine GM.  The date on which the "" golf I sat July issues of these magazines in the Sun and decided to read them cover the lid.  I was very impressed with the photos, pictures, and write the articles quality.  I was very happy to work on page 124, GM when I saw "show Fit!" at the top of the page.  My excitement on disappointment pretty fast.  Whether you come for me?  It was the club fitting … nothing, the least body, taking into account, or as to the suitability of the compensation.  I decided to check the www.golf.com.  There was no!  Of course, is the table of contents of an entire series of tabs across the top News, equipment, instruction, training courses, Travel, blogs, pictures, videos, tools, and special features.  But right in the middle of the golf fitness centre there is no column/tab related articles.The slap in the face!, could not be included in the fitness centre at least "advanced issues? 

  So it is www.golfdigest.com I went to check it out.  The same thing!  It was all these tabs/columns to choose from at top, but …. oh wait … … I FOUND IT!  The help tab at the bottom of the "Health & Fitness".  Find fantastic article, and it has been clicked "Health 101: @ 50-agreed;  It is written by Greg Rose and Dave Phillips, co-founder of the TPI.  Yep … I remember this article.But here's the kicker, … it is November 2007! Again is you come for me?  All fairness I Find the article written by a well-known Athlete's performance in Phoenix, AZ Mark Verstegen titled "Get To the core Of Your swing", but I had to search for it hard in February 2009. 

  Imperialeen July 2010 of Congratulations go to Don Saladino, Drive 495 Golf in Manhattan sekoittuisivat somehow how magazine.  He was in fact one page. But what is funny (or, depending on how you can look at it sad) is the very next page is dedicated to the shoes article that makes Fred couples back to feel better.  The title is "Has Gotta Be Shoes!"   Shoes?  It is all it takes?  What does that tell the world?  You have back pain?  Whether the feeling tired and sluggish?   Well, do not waste time and effort to stay focused on your health … just for new shoes!  Again you come for me?The average golfer while reading the GD does not know if Freddy went his back to heal or change his swing extreme physical measures. But we know GM, where he is actually from a nice "laid-back" clothing and GD pointed out in his shoes.  Fantastic!  Now we know where the fitness centre prices fashion.

  David Fehrety in a spirit of which I have to get in bed with in order to receive some support for golf fitness magazine these days?  Ya know what … I stay true to my beliefs.  Junior one at a time, Gateway Tour player at a time, nationwide player at a time. 

  Thank you so much Golf Digest and Golf Magazine.  We get it. You try to sell magazines.  We all know that golf population show that those who play in the most are the ones with the money and are baby boomers.  You have shown that you have done your homework.These "more than" mountain players are hopeless and do not work.  Certainly not sold fitness centre articles in magazines. or they are?Titleist is a philosophy that injured golfers is golf and, therefore, not to buy balls.So, to challenge the client (GM & GD) to think outside the box, and does not correspond to those who you think will not occur and you just want a fast repair. have the header and future golfer best role model.Dare you!

Chuck Cook-Texas, # 5 ranked Golf Digest America's Best Teacher, really thought outside the box, click the tennis Racquet golf swing (page 157) physics.He showed how the topspin forehand low to high face down and create a Draw from high to low turn creates a Fade with face. Hmmm … tennis, ping pong, racquetball, paddleball, hockey … .. all side-is somehow related sports and golf.

How Chuck to Golf Digest? Oh …. that's because he Golf Pro first with some sports and physics experience. how to take Sports/team Pro about golf experience are included in each issue? one is obviously not yet but many of us out here.

Play golf with Annika Sorenstam video contest

The Annika Academy announced today the “Play with Annika Video Contest.” If you’ve ever wanted to play golf with a LPGA professional, now’s your chance.

Starting today, September 8th, 2010 running through October 14th, 2010, you can submit a video, up to one minute in length, expressing why you should get to play golf with Annika Sorenstam. The video must be uploaded to a social media site like youtube or facebook and send the link with the entry form.

The winner will meet Annika for a photograph and autograph session and then play nine holes of golf with Annika at one of the three courses at Reunion Resort, Orlando, FL.

There will be two rounds of judging,

Initial Round. A panel of expert judges from ANNIKA Academy will evaluate videos properly entered in the Contest. Videos will be judged based on the following criteria: (i) creativity and originality; (ii) relevance to theme; (iii) persuasiveness and passion for golf. The entrants whose videos have the ten (10) highest scores will be deemed Finalists and will advance to the Final Round of judging as per Rule 5B below. Finalists will be notified by e-mail on or about October 21, 2010.

Final Round. Sponsor will post on the Contest Web Site links to the ten (10) Finalists’ videos for purposes of public voting; see also Rule 4E. (In the public vote, persons who register at the Contest Web Site will have the opportunity to rate one or more Finalists’ videos from 1 – 5 stars, with 5 stars being the highest possible rating. There is a limit of
one (1) vote per video per registered person per day.) Public voting is scheduled to take place between October 25, 2010 and October 31, 2010. The Grand Prize winner is the Finalist who has the highest composite final round score
based on average (mean) number of stars in public voting (25%) and Annika Sörenstam’s personal evaluation of the
Finalists’ videos as per the criteria set forth in Rule 5A (75%). The potential Grand Prize winner will be notified by
e-mail, phone and postal mail on or about November 5, 2010.

GRAND PRIZE
The opportunity to play nine (9) holes of golf with Annika Sörenstam at the ANNIKA Academy in Reunion, Florida on a date to be determined. Approximate Retail Value: $5.000.00 (USD).

That’s a pretty intense retail value, if you do the math, they’re billing out Annika at $2000 per hour.

A couple things to be aware of prior to submitting your entry..

Transportation is NOT included in the Grand Prize and will be the sole responsibility of the winner.All expenses related to acceptance or use of prize which are not specified in these Official Rules as well as all applicable taxes on prize are winner’s sole responsibility. If winner is from the U.S., winner will be issued an IRS 1099 Tax Form for the fair market value of the prize.Golf outing with Annika Sorenstam will not exceed two and one-half (2 ½) hours in duration, regardless of whether nine (9) holes of golf have been completed.Annika Sorenstam’s participation in the Grand Prize is subject to her professional commitments and availability; in the unlikely event that Ms. Sörenstam is unavailable for any reason, entrants understand and agree that Sponsor will fully satisfy its obligation to winner by selecting an instructor from the ANNIKA Academy of its sole choosing to play golf with winner in Ms. Sorenstam’s place.

That would COMPLETELY suck if you went through the effort to create and promote a video and were selected as the grand prize winner only to have Annika Sorenstam bail to attend some prior commitment, especially since you’d STILL be stuck with the tax liability.

It’s pretty lame that they’re not footing the bill for transportation, I think it’s going to negatively impact the number of entrees into the contest.

Your thoughts?

Choosing Golf Equipment

Buying golf equipment can be like dumping money into a

money pit, but armed with some knowledge you can save

time and money in selecting the right clubs for

yourself. As with most things in life, you can spend a

lot or you can spend a little several times before you

get what you really need.

If you are first starting out and not completely sure

you want to commit to this addictive game, you should

either rent clubs at the golf course, or buy a starter

set of clubs.

Buying a set of started clubs enables you to become

accustomed to them; enabling you to concentrate on

your swing instead of wondering how this set of

miss-matched clubs you just rented are going to work

out.

As you become better at the game, you should invest in

a better set of clubs, fitted to you.

Generally, a set includes a driver, one or two fairway

woods, 4-9 irons, a wedge or two and perhaps a putter.

As you become more experienced and start thinking

about new clubs, you may want to consider buying your

driver separately. Some players want a driver to give

them more accuracy; some need the distance.

There are numerous balls available and the box will

usually have a chart on the back and direct you to the

right ball for your needs. As you learn the game and

get better at it, you should experiment with different

balls which could improve your accuracy or distance.

Having the right equipment is an important aspect of

USA wins the Orange County National Ryder Cup Event

Last Friday, September 10th, was the much anticipated Orange County National Ryder Cup Event. This event pitted 16 US players vs 16 UK Soldiers from 1st Bn Coldstream Guards, who just came back from Afghanistan and were down in Orlando for a week of “adventure training.”

Below are the tournaments combatants.

The format was two-man better ball match play with 100% handicaps, playing off the lowest handi in the group. Three points are awarded per foursome, one point for the front nine, one point for the back nine and one point for the overall outcome.

I played in a foursome with fellow golf blogger John Duval (+2), writer of intothegrain.com and two really cool dudes, John(10) and Lee(10).

From the Left, Lee, OGB, John, JFD

In our foursome, we won the front nine, halved the back nine and got the overall, contributing 2.5 points.

Team USA, showed up in stereo-typical boisterous national pride sporting the LoudMouth Golf Stars & Stripes shorts and swept the field with a final score of 18.5 to 5.5 points.

In the UK teams defense, however, they haven’t had a whole lot of time to work on their golf game, fighting for freedom and all that..

The greatest shot of the day came from “the Major.” His approach shot went through the tree on it’s way to the green and after searching for his ball for a couple minutes, the foursome realized that the ball never came out of the tree. It had become tangled in some spanish moss and “the Major” showed us his super secret fairway wood chop technique.

The festivities concluded with lunch and quite a few rounds of beer in the clubhouse. By “quite a few,” I mean they probably sold more Guinness on that day than they had the entire year leading up to it.

Every last one of them were stand up guys who have my total respect for the sacrifice they make for their country. It was a great event and thanks to everyone who took my advice and participated!
