With a full time day job, a full MBA school schedule and a wife and son at home, it's hard for me to get to the driving range during the week. If I get one range session per week, then I'm actually doing well. My weekends are really the only time I am able to play 18 holes because of my busy workweek. It's no wonder I can't seem to get over that hump and break 80 as I have set out to do. If I ever want to get better at the game of golf then I will need to practice more, period. This is all … [Read more...]
Yardage Book Holder in Augusta Green from Ace of Clubs
I recently received a yardage book holder from Ace of Clubs Golf Company and over the last couple weeks I've had several chances to test it out. At first, I was curious on what I would do with my yardage book holder because the golf course that I play at normally has GPS on the carts and I thought I'd never use it. Boy was I wrong. I have several yardage books already in my collection from over the years playing in several competitive tournaments around town. Luckily, I still had … [Read more...]
Golf Product Review: Tee Claw
If you're lucky enough to have a local driving range that allows you to hit off real grass, then I envy you. But if you're like most golfers, it's likely you're forced to hit off beaten down mats with flimsy, plastic tees sticking out to hit driver from. There's a new product on the market that's really taking the driving range experience to the next level. The Tee Claw is a revolutionary concept that allows you to ditch the two inch plastic tee sticking up from the hitting mat and use the … [Read more...]
Golf Training Aid Review: The Navigator by Dirty Larry Golf
I must admit, I use a lot of golf training aids and I'm also a stats geek when it comes to my golf game. I track my golf stats for every round and chart them out. (It's fine, make fun of me now.) For most of my rounds, I track three main categories; fairways hit, greens in regulation and number of putts. I always want to figure out if a golf training aid is working for me or wasting my time. These three statistical categories are among the most basic and easiest to track. As the end of … [Read more...]
Range To Go is a Portable Driving Range I Can Get Used To
Wednesday and Thursday of this past week it rained 4 ½ inches at my house. Look, San Antonio needs the rain; it’s great for the golf courses. Problem is, I was off those two days from work and had big plans to play some golf. I think you’re going to like what I chose to do instead. I busted out my Range to Go and set up a sheet in the garage and hit some 6-irons into the sheet off the fair way lie. You see, the Range to Go is a pretty cool portable driving range that has three different … [Read more...]
CarveOn Custom Leather Scorecard Holder Adds Much Needed Class to My Golf Game
I spend most of my time on the golf course riding in a golf cart. Whether I'm driving the golf cart and keeping score for the group or riding shotgun while someone else drives, I always keep my own personal scorecard to track stats throughout the round. Things like number of putts, fairways hit and GIR’s are important to me so I can figure out my golf improvement opportunities. I normally just keep the extra scorecard in my back pocket or in the cubby on my side of the golf cart and fill it … [Read more...]
Sunfish Sales Impresses With High Quality Wool Headcovers
For about three years now, I’ve been rolling with an Oscar the Grouch headcover for my driver. Yes, that’s right; Oscar the Grouch. It’s an inside joke between my wife and I, but she bought it for me a few years ago and I’ve been using it ever since. (You can make fun of me now. It’s okay.) For the last few months though, I’ve been looking at adding a little class to my golf bag and incorporating a set of knitted headcovers to swap out Oscar, along with the stock Ping i15 3-wood and hybrid … [Read more...]
