Weather certainly plays a huge role in a good golf game. Obviously, if it is raining, you aren’t going to be able to golf as easily as if the sun was shining. While summer golf provides great weather conditions, you also won’t want to be on the course when it’s 110 degrees in the shade (which makes it hotter on the fairway!)

Monitoring the weather is something avid golfers do faithfully. Ideal golf weather is about 70 degrees with clear skies and a soft breeze. (more…)

When it comes to golf apparel, there really are many choices available.  What to wear isn’t always the first thing on a golfer’s mind, but choosing the right golf apparel can make a difference in playing well and playing not so well.  It’s true!

Many of the nicer clubs have rules as to what golf apparel is acceptable on their course.  This usually means no tee shirts, tank tops or short shorts, shirts must have collars, and no jeans are allowed.  Other courses are not as restrictive and you can choose what you want to wear as long as it is tasteful.

Generally male golfers will wear (more…)

Hybrids are Hot! And we’re not just talking about automobiles. The hybrid golfclub is often referred to as the utility club and is a somewhat recent addition to the line-up of clubs that golfers can choose.  They are increasing in popularity since they are designed to be easy to hit for the recreational golfer.  Actually, they are easier to hit for any golfer and most touring pros now carry at least one hybrid golf club in their bag.

Hybrid golf clubs  combine elements of both irons & woods in their design.  This characteristic creates (more…)

Taylor Made Golf is one of the largest companies that manufacturers golf club, balls, and accessories for the serious golfer.  Founded in 1979 by Gary Adams, an entrepreneur who also started Founders Club and McHenry metals, Taylor Made has grown into a name synonymous with golf greatness.

While working as a salesman for Witteck Golf, Adams noticed that the new two piece balls performed better on irons than on true woods.  This led him to develop the Taylor Made metal wood.  The driver caught on quickly and Taylor Made has been a leader in hollow metal woods ever since.

Taylor Made continues to make innovations in the area of golf club design.  They have come out with new hybrid golf clubs that are lighter and easier to swing.  The drivers that Taylor Made produces are made of materials that make them easier to hit and as the club faces get larger and larger, Taylor Made has also joined in on the craze.

Many golfers, amateurs and professionals alike, swear by Taylor Made clubs.  Their constantly improving design and performance have made them favorites on the pro circuit.  Golfers are finding that they can get some real distance with Taylor Made drivers and their irons perform very well too.

Besides some of the greatest golf clubs in the world, Taylor Made also (more…)

We are a unique breed of person; we are obsessive; we are passionate; we are golfers.  Golfers are different than other sportspeople because we often take the sport way more seriously than we really should.  But golfers don’t care.  Golfers love the game of golf and we won’t apologize for it.

The average casual golfer doesn’t give much thought to picking the right golf ball. They think of the ball as part of the game that really isn’t all that important. After all, you’re just wacking it around the course, right? (more…)

Like other people, many golfers require corrective lenses in order to see clearly. In golf, like most sports, good vision ensures the best performance. So for the lowest score you must ensure your eyesight is top quality.

Many golfers wear specialized eyewear in order to improve their game. For example, some golfers prefer copper tinted lenses since they can enhance the contrast of a golf ball against the sky and also the green background of greens & fairways. However traditional glasses present many disadvantages to the golfer. Glasses can slip, fog up, or even fall off. They offer no side (peripheral) vision. And the frames can be distracting during a golf stroke.

A product available from Nike: Maxsight, is now available for golfers who want to get rid of their glasses and improve their golf game at the same time. The golf version enhances the red and green part of the visual spectrum. This makes it easier to see the ball & read the contour and details of the putting surface. These contacts also reduce glare from the sun and the contrast between shade and non-shade.

MaxSight Contacts are available at up to a 50% discount from 1-800-Contacts. Take advantage of a 1800Contacts coupon or LensWorld coupon and save extra when you order online.
