After borrowing your playing partners Range Finder for the past seven Saturdays you realize it’s time you look into one for yourself. All your friends have them, they are beating you by a few shots every round (has to be because of the range finder right?), and its just time to invest.  The problem becomes, just like all things golf-related, there are so many choices.  There is a large range of pricing and features as well. Some things are going to matter for you and your game and others are not. Here are a few important factors that all golfers...

Remember when all that was out there was a white stake? A white stake and you had to kind of guess if it was the Out of Bounds Marker or the 150 marker?  Then there was the phase of those large plastic dome-like things buried at the 150 and the 100-yard range.  Then most courses just decided that the sprinkler heads were the way to go.  There are plenty of them out there (except they are never all marked) and you can get lots more information than that old white stake.

You never know until you try if your game will thrive or crack under pressure.  Tournament golf and leisure golf are two completely different things.  Some of the best players out there can’t play unless there is something “on it”. It has to matter in some way, it’s a natural competitive drive that some will discover through the game of golf.  A true competitor or not it’s always good to know...

One of the most intimidating factors about being a new golfer is all that there is to learn. There are rules, and swing techniques, etiquette and lingo.  The equipment seems foreign and there are hundreds of options to choose from. The scoring can be tricky and the Handicap system is way more complicated than you can even imagine. It’s enough to make even the most dedicated new golfer decide boating may be a better choice.  The good news is that you don’t need to learn it all right away, you don’t even need to learn it all the first year....

After your Saturday morning round, it’s always nice to relax and watch the pros play for a while. It’s great to watch the competition but let’s face it we are all hunting for the clues.  The one thing that can take your game to the next level. The things the pro’s do that the amateurs don’t.  As your handicap lowers you will find yourself learning more and more from the professionals, just by simply watching. Swing techniques, pre shot routines, equipment preferences, shot types are all part of those secret clues, the things that set the Professionals apart. If only...
