Jack Nicklaus talks about the future of "Golf"

















I recently came across an article featuring one of golf's legends "Jack Nicklaus" sharing his thoughts on the future of game.

Included topics featured in the article:

  • Modernizing the game
  • Today's golf balls
  • The disconnect between pros and the rest of us
  • The impact of the Olympics

I have to agree with "Jack" on a number of points. There definitely has been a disconnect between the fans and the players in today's modern game. I remember walking the "Canadian Open" at Glen Abbey, Oakville, Ontario in the late 70's early 80's. Players seemed more engaging with fans than they are today. Lee Trevino comes to mind.

Lee use to make a point of walking the sidelines, and conversing with fans, often telling "Jokes" etc. It really made you feel like you knew the players. Many of today's players are more reserved, and not as engaging.

I agree with Jack on the golf ball. The advancements to the golf ball have all but made many of the courses obsolete. Proof of that is "Augusta National"  who has had to lengthen the course for several years now.

Nobody knows for sure what the Olympics will do for the game, but it can't hurt.  Bringing golf to a large global audience will only enhance the sport.



Post your thoughts on the article, and on what you feel is the future of the game.


Enjoy,

Ted & Buck Golf! Bunker Play-(Ball Below Feet)




After hitting your “Tee Shot” on a short par 3, you discover that your ball has not only landed in the Greenside Bunker, but is well below your feet. There's no mistaking it, this is a difficult shot even for the pros.

With a few adjustments to your setup, even a high handicapper can execute this shot with ease.

  • Lower your center of gravity, in order to help reach down to the ball. 
  • Open the clubface just slightly, unlike for a normal bunker shot. This will help to dig down in order to get the ball out.
  • Play the ball just forward of center. Too far forward and you will likely blade the shot.
  • Pick the club up quickly in the backswing, and abbreviate the follow-through in order to maintain your balance.


Incorporate these into your bunker play next practice session, and you will hit this shot with confidence.

Tiger Woods "Wins" Chevron World Challenge


However you may feel about Tiger Woods these days, there's no mistaking the fact he electrified the crowd this past weekend at the " Chevron World Challenge".

In his first win in over two years, Tiger Woods sank his birdie putt on the 18th green to win the tournament by 1 stroke over Zach Johnson. What does 2012 hold for Tiger?  Nobody knows for certain, but you can bet all eyes will be looking forward to next season on the PGA Tour. While looking through all the articles, blogs etc. on the Internet, written about this weekend's tournament, I came across one from "The Canadian Press".

Enjoy,

Ted & Buck




Tiger Woods holds his trophy after winning the Chevron World Challenge golf tournament at Sherwood Country Club on Sunday in Thousand Oaks, Calif. (Danny Moloshok/Associated Press)


After going more than two years and 26 tournaments without a win, and after so much turmoil in his personal life and with his golf game, Tiger Woods stood over a six-foot birdie putt Sunday to win the Chevron World Challenge and felt as though nothing had changed.

Finally, the outcome was familiar, too. Woods poured in the putt to cap off a birdie-birdie finish at Sherwood, close with a 3-under 69 and beat former Masters champion Zach Johnson by one shot. The win ended a drought that lasted 749 days, and might have signalled a change that Woods is on his way back.

He swept his arm across the air, yelled through the din of the gallery and slammed his fist in a celebration that was a long time coming.

Relief? Satisfaction? Vindication?

Woods wasn't sure, and he didn't much care. "It just feels awesome whatever it is," he said. Trailing by one shot with two holes to play, Woods came up with two clutch putts. He holed a 15-footer for birdie on the par-3 17th to pull into a tie with Johnson, then hit a 9-iron from 158 yards that landed on the ridge behind the hole and rolled down to six feet.

"I've been in contention twice this year, which is not very often," Woods said. "So that's my third time with a chance to win it. I pulled it off this time." It was his 83rd win worldwide in tournaments that award ranking points, but his first since he won the Australian Masters on Nov. 15, 2009, back when he looked as though he would rule golf for as long as he played. But he crashed his car into a fire hydrant outside his Florida home on Thanksgiving night, and shocking revelations of extramarital affairs began to emerge, which shattered his image, led to a divorce and cost him four major sponsors. Since then, he has changed swing coaches, caddies and endured more injuries, causing him to miss two majors and fail to make the cut in another.

Now, however, it looks clear that Woods is on an upward path. "If the man is healthy, that's paramount," Johnson said. "I mean, he's the most experienced and the best player I've ever played with. In every situation, he knows how to execute and win." Even though those situations have been rare, Woods looked as though he had not forgotten how to win. The only other times he has been in contention this year were the Masters and the Australian Open. "I felt normal, felt very comfortable," Woods said. "I've been here so many times that, you know, I just feel very comfortable being here in this position. Was I nervous? Absolutely. Always nervous in that position. But it's a comfortable feeling, and I enjoy being in that position. For some reason, it's kind of a comfort to be in there with a chance to win."

Woods won the Chevron World Challenge, which he hosts for his foundation, for the fifth time. He finished at 10-under 278 and donated the $1.2 million US to his foundation. The win moved him from No. 52 to No. 21 in the world ranking, and likely will send expectations soaring for 2012. Woods will not play again until starting his year in Abu Dhabi at the end of January.

If this win felt differently than the last one, Woods wasn't saying. "They all feel good," he said. "They're not easy. People don't realize how hard it is to win golf tournaments. I've gone on streaks where I've won golf tournaments in a row, but still ... I don't think I've taken it for granted. And I know because of how hard it is." 

He had a worthy adversary in Johnson, who had a one-shot lead going into the final round and trailed for only three holes. Johnson tied Woods with a birdie on the par-5 13th, made an unlikely par on the 14th by chipping from the bottom of the green, and appeared to seize control by holing a 12-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole.

Johnson thought his birdie putt on the 17th was good all the way until it burned the edge of the cup. Woods, running out of time, drained his birdie putt to force a tie and send the tournament to the 18th. Johnson missed a 15-foot birdie try, leaving the stage to Woods. Johnson closed with a 71 and still took home $650,000 for the holidays. Paul Casey, who opened with a 79, had his third straight round in the 60s to finish alone in third at 5 under. "Tiger can have a long career," Casey said when he finished. "We might look back in another 10 years and actually forget about the last couple of years." Johnson's chip on the third was too strong, he three-putted from about 35 feet for bogey on the fifth and he played a poor chip from below the eighth green for another bogey. They were tied at the turn when Woods began to pull away. From the right rough, Woods hit a soft sand wedge that landed in the first cut short of the green and fed down the slope to about four feet. He two-putted from long range for birdie on the par-5 11th to stretch his lead to two shots when Johnson caught a buried lie in the bunker.

Woods bogeyed the 12th from a bunker, though, and Johnson's birdie on the 13th set up a final hour that was up for grabs until Woods came through in the clutch on the last two holes. Woods' tournament, which has an 18-man field, has been a good omen for others over the years. The most recent example was Jim Furyk, who won in 2009 and then had his first three-win season the next year and captured the FedEx Cup. No one ever imagined Woods needing a boost, but that might be the case.

"I don't think we're going to see another 2011, if that makes sense," Furyk said, alluding to Woods failing to reach the FedEx Cup playoffs this year. "If he steadily progresses, keeps getting confidence and moving forward, he's going to return and be one of the best players in the game again."

The "New Tiger Woods"




" Tiger Woods " Sports a new look!


Despite 2011 coming quickly to an end, and the 2012 season fast approaching, all eyes will be looking at "Tiger". 

I found the photo circulating around facebook and other social networks yesterday.  While some of the feedback was positive, others pretty much gave the thumbs down to his new golf bag. Why? Not too keen on the whole sponsorship thing, I guess. Personally, I am excited about next years PGA Tour season, and here's why.

Tiger has seemingly sharpened up his game the last few weeks, and appears to have an overall calmness not seen in a while. He finished well in his last few tournaments, and managed to create some excitement among loyal fans. Will Tiger collect any majors in 2012? Only time will tell however, I have noticed Tiger smiling more in his interviews. Could this be a sign his confidence is coming back? We can only hope so!


I said recently, despite a great 2011 season, the PGA Tour has missed its shinning star. Tiger's less than stellar performance early in the year, left some feeling a bit empty. Nobody knows for sure what 2012 will hold for Tiger. I only hope it is a better year not just for Tiger, but for the rest of the golfing world as well.

So what are your predictions for " Tiger " in 2012?

Post your thoughts and let us know what you think of his new golf bag. 



Best Wishes,

Ted & Buck Tips: Work on your "Timing and Tempo"


Timing:

Timing in a golf swing is very important and rarely understood. Our purpose is to time the unleashing of power into the golf ball, while trying to square the club head. Not an easy task. To put it simply, if the lower hand on the club does not turn over soon enough, the club head will open and produce a slice. If on the other hand it turns over too early, the club head will shut resulting in a hook.

Once you understand the importance of timing, and that it is impossible to hit a straight shot every time, and if your timing is a little ahead or behind, you will see the variance in ball flight previously discussed.

Tempo:

Tempo refers to the speed of your swing and is the key to good timing. When you are swinging well, and in balance your tempo will be smooth and rhythmic. Tempo effects timing, if you swing too slow or too fast, your timing will be thrown off.

Remember to work on both your Tempo & Timing next time you visit the practice range, you will be amazed at how much better the results will be, and how easily you will control your shots.

See you next week!

V-Groove Tool Golf Shoe


Product Review: V-Groove Tool Golf Shoe "World's first multifunctional golf shoe"

I came across this short Youtube video explaining some of the features and benefits of the V-Groove Tool Golf Shoe. TAKE A LOOK!






Here is a more in depth product description of the V-Groove Tool Golf Shoe.
  


The new, all in one V- Groove Tool (VGT) Golf Shoe is making the game of golf flow smoother for golfers on the golf course.


The Purpose of the New VGT Golf Shoe

Golf shoes have changed little in their design over time. The new V-Groove Tool Golf Shoe is bringing about a radical design change and making a difference in how a golfer carries his/her golf tools and transitions through a game of golf.

The V-Groove Tool Golf Shoe allows golfers to keep two ball markers, a divot repair tool, and three tees accessible at all times located directly on the golf shoe. The invention offers a supportive fitting shoe with great style and fashion. The new golf shoe makes the golf round less stressful and allows the golf game to flow better by providing every tool a golfer needs during a round within easy reach.


Advantages of Using the New VGT Golf Shoe 
 
When preparing to play a round of golf, some golfers carry a bag full of clubs and all the gear they need to play their best. However, many of their smaller tools may get lost in the side pockets or fall to the bottom of the bag. Griffin Athletics International, Inc. is introducing the "first multifunctional golf shoe" that will be every golfer's "personal caddie."


The advantages of using the new V-Groove Tool Golf Shoe are as follows: 
 
. The golfer's tools are available and easily accessible on the golf shoe.
. Ball markers are not placed on the golfer's hat to impact his/her line of vision and their golf shot.
. The golfer does not have to store and retrieve their golf tools from their pockets or their hats resulting in dirty pockets and unsightly stains on the golfer's hat.
. Because the golfer's tools are readily available, the proper tools are used during play to mark balls and to repair divots. In addition, the golfer does not have to locate the proper tools to use, so the pace of play is not slow.


Detailed Description of the New VGT Golf Shoe

The V-Groove Tool Golf Shoe is designed to hold the tools and tees that golfers need while playing a round of golf. The invention resembles a standard golf shoe with the exception of the secure compartment pockets that hold all the golfer's tools and tees directly on the outside of the golf shoe.

On the right shoe, there is a secured pocket for a divot repair tool and a separate pocket for a ball marker. On the left shoe, there is a secure support pocket that has three individual slot compartments that hold three tees and a separate pocket for an additional ball marker.

The golf shoe has a full leather upper and all stitching is double-stitched. The sole of the shoe is made with molded rubber material fashioned in a unique v-pattern design and is equipped with Champ brand soft spikes. The shoe is available in a variety of colors that will suit any golfer's tastes.

It’s the little things that can make a difference between having a good golf round and a bad golf round. We believe that this new all in one golf shoe, which gives you quick access to your golfing tools, will allow you to play a more enjoyable and a more efficient round of golf.

Available in many colors, as shown in the image below.

Here are a few thoughts on "The V-Groove Tool Golf Shoe".

I was first introduced to this product in an email I received from creator, President/CEO, Anthony L. Griffin.















At first glance, it looked like every other golf shoe. It came in a variety of sizes, colors and was available to both men & women. But after taking a closer look, I noticed that there was something entirely different about the design. IT HAD POCKETS!

The unique difference with the shoe, is you can carry most of the essential tools needed to play a round of golf right on the side. You can carry tees, ball markers & even a divot repair tool, eliminating the need to constantly dig into your pockets, or fish around in your golf bag.

I can't tell you the number of holes in my pockets made by tees, or divot repair tool, not to mention the grass stains left behind on my pants. Anthony's V-Groove Tool Golf Shoe certainly tackles those issues with ease, while still making the shoe stylish.


This is a product well worth the investment, and with all the innovations in golf, I am surprised it has taken so long to come up with a uniquely different design for the golf shoe.




GREAT JOB ANTHONY!
