Benefits of a Good Golf Clinic

Any serious golfer worthy of the name will take a golf clinic now and then to improve aim and stroke. You might find you learn a few surprising tricks. Don’t assume you don’t need one unless you want to stagnate in your game. Sure you can look at videos on line: 28 seconds to learn good golf swing tips just like the master’s. Or ten lessons from Hank Haney so you can play better golf in the very next round. It isn’t that simple. I wish we could believe it. Why not go to a country club in person, hire a pro, and get some real sound advise you can implement for life without kidding yourself that a few seconds instruction is all you need to be sublime at the game.  There is nothing like having the individual right there at your side. You will have more concrete interaction and a real life exchange.

Most courses have golf clinics that encourage all of its students to make their golf game a priority, which is why lessons are included in the school tuition as a result. Lessons, taught by seasoned PGA professionals, are available five days a week ideally so you can pick and choose your time. Instructors offer training in state-of-the-art swing lab, or on the range if you prefer, so rain or shine your game will only improve.

If working on your game is a top priority in your life, consider taking a clinic. Check out the facilities where lessons are given and see what there is to offer. Getting a glimpse of what life could be like if you were a clinic student, playing golf every single day, can be eye-opening.

When choosing a good golf camp, you want a convenient location so you will go often. You also want tailored instruction with hand-picked instructors based on your specific golf goals. You will want some flexibility in your scheduling to accommodate the needs of your busy life. It is all about getting your compliance so you don’t have any excuses not to attend. You want to make golf a real part of your athletic life so choose a clinic or series of classes that work accordingly.

Fitness is an extremely important component to any golfer’s game. Many Golf Academies and clinics now offers private TPI Fitness Screening sessions, giving golfers the opportunity to experience the same physical assessment and fitness training as the pros, regardless of age, current fitness level or handicap.

The assessment identifies physical imbalances, and a Golf Fitness Handicap (GFH) is established. The GFH is equivalent to a golf handicap in terms of physical capabilities. A fitness program is then designed to correct those imbalances and improve stability, mobility, flexibility, balance, posture, strength and power. Improved physical fitness levels increase endurance and injury prevention, improving performance.

TPI Fitness Screening Includes: Physical assessment, video analysis, TPI-generated workout program, and access to TPI literature and video exercises (viewable from iPhone or other compatible mobile device).

Choosing the Right Clubs

Golf is a game of hand eye coordination and consummate skill. That’s why people love it so. It is rising in popularity and not just because of the aging population. It is because no two games are alike. Choosing the right clubs give you the edge you need to beat the competition and come out on top. It is important to have your own set of clubs and to be custom fitted. A glance at a few YouTube videos will teach you everything you need to know if you don’t have a pro golfer on hand to do the job for you. First you will consider the drivers, performance on every swing. The TaylorMade M1 boasts a multi-material construction – It’s the key that unlocks performance.  This construction is highlighted by our proprietary 7-layer Carbon Composite Crown that is precision-formed and built ultra-thin, ultra-lite and high strength to maximize weight savings.  This addition has allowed us to build a weight-loaded sole and move overall clubhead weight (and, thus, the center-of-gravity) lower for a more efficient power transfer; giving golfers more ball speed.

Here are some of my favorite clubs.

The Carbon Composite Crown has also allowed us to give golfers 25 grams of multi-directional adjustability, allowing them to personalize launch conditions – fit to their swing – and optimize ball-flight, trajectory and, ultimately, distance.

Next on the list is the TaylorMade M1first Carbon Crown Fairway that lowers CG for optimal launch conditions. 30g (two at 15g) of sliding weight allows golfers to personalize trajectory to maximize performance and. The first carbon crown fairway lowers CG for optimal launch conditions and speed with every shot.  The trajectory personalization thanks to the split 30g (2-15g) Sliding Weights allows golfers to personalize their shot shape to maximize performance and consistency.

Players seeking distance and playability and shot shape personalization to dial in launch conditions with their fairway wood. The carbon Composite Crown shifts weight low for optimal launch and spin conditions

TaylorMade’s M2 irons are distance machines – engineered to fly farther AND higher.  When we set out to design M2 irons, our focus was to achieve maximum. When we set out to design M2 irons, our focus was to achieve maximum distance without sacrificing the peak trajectory. The advanced materials and technologies that went into M2 irons enable the ball to not only go far, but high as well.

Because we were able to engineer irons that fly far AND high, M2 irons can deliver dramatic distance from every iron, for all golfers. This synergy of distance and height was accomplished through a unique combination of features and technologies. Distance will get you to the green – but distance and height – will help you stay there. This is the key concept behind M2 Irons.

You can’t play without a wedge. The TaylorMade electroformed Nickel Cobalt grooves provide long lasting spin. The Tour Preferred EF Wedge now comes in a soft 1025 carbon steel body with a SatinChrome finish. the electroformed Nickel Cobalt grooves provide long lasting spin plus has

Want to know about putters? Go Bigger; Get Better… Make More Putts.Oversized heads increase stability at impact, keeping you more on line and into the hole more often. Vertical, Deep-milled insert allows for better ball gripping for improved roll, sound, and feel. Raised high contrast sight line makes it easier to aim. Skin-milled surfaces offer the ultimate in high-quality finishing.

The new OS & OS CB putters, provide a larger, high moment of inertial (MOI) design exhibiting an expanded sweet spot and improved alignment system. The latest in putter stability innovation from TaylorMade Golf comes in both OS (Over Size) and CB (Counter Balance) designations. The OS models feature slightly larger head sizes than traditional putters while also delivering higher moment of inertia. For players seeking even more stability, the OS CB models are even larger in size, deliver higher moment of inertia and feature counterbalance technology to stabilize and smooth the putting stroke.

This is the tip of the iceberg and there is a lot more to learn about clubs and strokes before you reach golf perfection. We are just suggesting some basic introductory material so you have a focus. Get a pro to demonstrate each club for you.
