Who Do You Trust with Your Game?

There a numerous brands within the world of golf. There are clothing brands, golf ball brands, golf shoe brands, golf club brands, golf bag brands, and brands for the other accessories needed to play the rigorous sport. People tend to cross the brands and use a little of each brand to create their personalized golf look. I wear a lot of Adidas golf clothing yet I prefer Nike hats and golf shoes. I use Tour Edge Exotics irons, a RocketBallz driver, and a Yes putter. My golf bag is a Srixon golf bag. I do not just rely any one brand for all of my golf equipment. I use Calloway, Titleist, and Nike golf balls. I cannot actually think of too many golfers that use one brand across the board, even the professionals. They get large endorsements from top line golf manufacturers yet still use other brands to play golf. So the big question is what brand do you use the most? Answer the poll on my page! See ya next week!

Some Hot Irons!

In a game of golf, golf cubs are required. You have a putter for putting on the green, and a driver for teeing off in the tee box. The in between shots are hit with a clubs identified as the "irons." These clubs typically have shorter shafts that a driver and small club heads as well. The head of the club is usually a slat of iron with grooves in the iron. Irons are the most common golf club found in a players bag. Among the limited 14 club count, about 7-11 of the clubs are irons. The clubs are numerated from 1-10, most commonly 3-9, indicating their loft in each club. Irons with higher loft are usually nicknamed wedges. Wedges are more commonly used for short distance shots that require a high launch angle.
There are four parts that make up an iron. That is the club head, the hosel, the shaft, and the grip. There are also subdivisions of irons. There are the driving irons, long irons, mid irons, short irons, and the wedges.
Some of the most popular irons are used by professionals and amateurs all over the world.  Some of the top lines are the Nike Vapor irons, the Callaway APEX Pro series, the TaylorMade PSi line, the Cobra King Forged CB/MB Combo line, and the Ping S55 line. These are just the tip of the iceberg of some of the hottest irons that are being used by golfers all over. Without irons hitting from the fairway would be a challenging task and you would only need 2 or three golf clubs for the game of golf. Love your irons and treat them well because you would be lost without them!

A Lifetime Sport

I used to dream of playing collegiate golf. It was all that I wanted to while growing up. As I got older I realized that I loved golf more and more for the personal satisfaction I got out of the game more than I enjoyed the competitive nature of the sport. I resigned after my junior year as golf team captain and decided not to play my senior year. I lost interest from potential recruits with my decision. Plenty of people in my life thought that I had given up. That was not the case at all. I simply found peace in playing the game and realized that golf was a sport that I was going to be able to play for a lifetime. Of course, I was little bummed about not playing collegiate golf but I also understood and knew myself enough to understand that this was the best for me. Golf will always be there for me and has no expiration date in my life.

Bringing Back the Good Ole Swing!

Yes it is true! Golf will be returning to the Olympics for the first time since 1904 in the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympics. Competitors will be playing at a new course that was recently built in Reserva de Marapendi located in Rio de Janeiro. It will feature both a men's and a women's individual event. There will be 4 rounds of 18 holes for each player in order to determine the three medalist for each division. For many avid golfers, this has been exciting news. The last time golf was played in the Olympics was the summer of 1904. For many years there was speculation about the potential return of the sport and now it is finally happening. It has not yet been released who has qualified for the summer Olympics but golfers all over the world are very excited to see what the summer Olympics will bring for the golf world.
