Golf News & Reviews

Golf training aids, golf fitness training aids, and golf practice aids can all be useful tools for any golfer. There are many of these golf aids available, but you have to know what you really need before buying any of them.

Golf training aids are designed to help you cure a specific fault in your game. So, if you know you have a fault with your golf grip, you can check which of the grip training aids might best help with your problem. With a swing fault, you should narrow down your analysis of your swing to find out which of the golf swing training aids you need.

Golf fitness training aids should, in my opinion, be used by all golfers. Golf is a sport, and as such, only the fittest golfers can get into the top 5% of golfers that have handicaps in the single digits or better.

As a casual golfer or amateur, you need as much distance of the tee as possible because the closer you are to the green, the more chance you will have of making par. Without the skill and touch of the professionals, the casual golfer will find it difficult to hold the greens when forced to hit long irons into every par 4.

There are many different options when it comes the time to replace your golf clubs. You could buy the latest top brand name clubs, if you have the money, or you could look for discount golf clubs, or even check out a clone club manufacturer.

You have all heard about custom built golf clubs, where you can choose the length, flex, different grips, etc. when ordering new golf clubs. Now this might seam like an expensive option, but it isn’t – see my review on Pinemeadow Golf.

But, if you want top brand name custom clubs, are you willing to pay up to $500 for a driver or $200 for a putter? No? I will let you into a “secret”, the one that the golf club manufacturers don’t want you to know! I now know how to get new, top quality golf clubs for hundreds less than what they’re asking for in the pro-shop and golf stores.

You could be soon heading out to the golf course with a new driver, hybrid club, set of irons, or putter and amaze your golf buddies with your new clubs. The best part is that your clubs will be even better than what you can buy in the store!

First of all, for those that don’t know what a clone club is, here’s an overview.

Today, some of the most popular top brand name companies in golf are Callaway, Titliest, TaylorMade, Ping, and Adams, with several others that sometimes come in and out of fashion. These companies try to out do each other with innovative new product concepts, materials, or fashion statements.

A golf clone is similar to the concept of a PC Clone. If you remember in the mid 80’s, PC clones were introduced into the personal computer market. Some of them, like Compaq, eventually became brand names. But the objective of clones, in golf or computers, is to provide all of the performance features of a top brand name product, but with a better value to the customer.

You should not confuse clones with the brand name products they may seek to emulate, but they are manufactured from basically the same materials and design principles, use many of the same grip and shaft suppliers, and perform similar to, or sometimes better than, the name brands.

Today, more than ever, golf is all about making a statement. For some golfers, it could be their colourful golf apparel, the latest top brand name golf clubs, or personalized golf equipment.

Many business owners, that like to do business on the golf course, are also realizing that there is a great opportunity to promote their business with the use of corporate logo golf equipment. After a round of golf with a potential client, a good way to have your company name remembered is by giving them a set of corporate logo golf balls.

Where do you find a reliable company to print your corporate logo golf balls or your personalized golf balls? One of the best companies that specialize in custom logo, corporate logo, and personalized golf equipment is GolfBalls. They are recognized as the # 1 supplier of custom logo golf balls.

What makes GolfBalls stand out from the rest? For a start, even though they are suppliers of all sorts of golf equipment, their speciality is customized and personalized golf equipment; everything from imprinted logo golf balls, embroidered golf shirts and caps to monogrammed golf towels.

In the beginning, books and music CD’s were about all that people bought online. Today, I don’t think there is anything that you can’t buy online; from computers to vitamins and everything in between. When it comes to golf equipment, more and more golfers are realizing the benefits of shopping online: more choice and cheaper prices.

So, today I will be reviewing the best online golf shoes store. It is true that there are dozens, if not hundreds, of golf equipment stores online that sell every item of golf equipment that you could need. But if you want to buy golf shoes, it makes sense to shop at a online store that specializes in golf shoes. One store that stands out is Golf Shoes Plus.

Golf Shoes Plus has been selling golf shoes since 1984, and began their online sales in 1996. They have customers in all 50 states and 30 countries so their purchasing power means they can offer incredible savings on top name brand golf shoes.

When we think about golf clubs, Ping and Callaway come to mind, and with golf balls it is usually Titleist. So, when we talk about golf shoes, the number one brand that comes to mind is Footjoy golf shoes. Why? Let’s take a look at the company and their products.

Footjoy have been around for a very long time; it all started in 1857 with the Burt and Packard Shoe Company which soon became Field and Flint Company. In 1927, they brought out the Footjoy line of golf shoes and they became the official golf shoe for the American Ryder Cup team, which was captained by Walter Hagen.

By 1945, Footjoy golf shoes became the number one shoe on the US PGA Tour, but it wasn’t until 1970 that the Field and Flint Company became known as Footjoy, Inc. They later branched out to produce their now famous golf gloves and then they introduced golf socks and outerwear.
