A new year - and a new website!

You know, there was a lot of news last year about how golf carts
where being allowed for street use in a lot of towns across the U.S.A.

Well, I decided that whatever my opinions were about the safety
and legal issues surrounding this trend, I might as well offer my
subscribers and website visitors a way to participate if they wanted to.

So, I’m proud to announce a new addition to the Triangle Custom Clubs
website family. It’s a site where you can get golf carts and accessories
at some the lowest amounts possible.

http://www.trianglecustomclubs.com/golfcarts.html

Of course it’s focused on electric carts, but you’ll also find pull carts
there as well.

I plan to add much more to this family of websites, such as balls, bags,
videos, etc so it can be a one-stop-shop for golfers.

Take a look and let me know what you think…

More news about Golf at the Olympics

The push to get golf in the Olympic games in 2016 is moving forward and gaining
a little traction due to both Jack Nicklaus and Annika Sorenstam being
named “Global Ambassadors” for the International Golf Federation.

==============================
Speaking of the Golden Bear…

Jack Nicklaus shot a 66 in November on his home course in Jupiter FL. It was
the first time that the Bear shot below his age. In case you’re wondering,
he’s 68.

Can Daley smash my camera too??

The camera that John Daley smashed a few weeks ago in the Aussie Open was
sold on Austrailia’s Ebay site for $1,075. There were 34 bids for the camera
owned by Brad Clegg that Daley smashed against a tree.

PGA Player of the Year

Congrats to Padraig Harrington on being named 2008’s PGA Player of the year.

But the money goes to V-Jay, who is now the top money winner.

And, no surprise, Tiger remained the number one player.

If you are a beginner golf player who has decided to take up the
challenge of learning the game with the hopes of enjoying the sport
for many years to come, you might want to consider taking a few golf lessons.

With someone teaching you the ins and outs of specific golf instructions,
you will have an extra set of eyes which will help you get some of the golf
swing positions right, which is not very easy to check on by yourself, even if you had a mirror.

What Makes A Good Golf Instructor?

Finding the right golf teacher that is best suited to your learning style is important. 
A good teacher should be able to demonstrate his lessons to you in a clear
and easy-to-understand method.

A decent teacher will be able to take stock of your current skill level and then break
down your swing in order to make the proper adjustments needed.

A good golf instructor will be able to position you with the golf club so that you can
truly understand how a certain swing should feel in your hands. He or she will be able
to analyze your shots and make a proper diagnosis of any problems that exist.

Are Golf Lessons Worth It The Price?

Taking golf lessons is not mandatory. However, consider taking a few lessons early on
in your learning experience as a wise investment. Not only will your skill level increase
at a rapid pace, you will save money which would otherwise have been spent on a
new driver or damaged clubs.

Other benefits of taking lessons for beginner golfers include:

1. Having all of your questions about golf answered by someone who knows the game.
2. The benefit of having good habits ingrained in your game from the start.
3. Your self-confidence will increase.
4. You will learn techniques and efficient practices which would normally take months
or years to learn on your own.

Even The Pros Take Lessons

Just to give you an idea of popular players that still brush up on their game with professional coaches,
here is a small list to get you motivated:

1. David Leadbetter is a golf teacher who has worked with Charles Howell III, Ernie Els,
Nick Price, and Nick Faldo.

2. Butch Harmon is an instructor who has worked with Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, and Justin Leonard.

3. Hank Haney specializes in distance and flight of the ball and has worked with Mark O’ Meara.

LPGA = Language Prohibits Golfers from Asia

It’s been a rough few weeks for Ms Bivens and the LPGA.

First, she decides to that lady golfers must have better communication skills…

…which to the LPGA meant that golfers from Asia had to speak English.

…Then they implemented a “plan” which was probably the worst bit of management I’ve ever seen…

..,Speak English or don’t play. That’s not much of a vision statment to me :-0

Anyway, before I could get out another What Do You Think post on the blog, Bivens and the LPGA reversed their decision to implement the language plan.

But that’s OK, because I have another (and better) What Do You Think question anyway. You can check it out below…

Spiderman finally wins, and V-Jay ignores the press?

All Vijay Singh needs to do is make the cut at the Tour Championship in two weeks and he gets a nice little $10 million paycheck. So why did he disc the press after the BMW?

Maybe he’s feeling the pressure of the next event and the big payoff?

Or was he upset at his 44th place finish?

Only time will tell, I guess.

In the meantime, Camilo Villegas was certainly smiling after winning his first PGA event and a respectable $1.25 million.

It appears that Tiger’s bad knee hasn’t affected other parts of this anatomy…

He and Elin are expecting child number 2…

Should Golf be in the Olympics? You make the call…

As you probably already know, get top leaders in the golf world are lobbing the Olympic Committee to put golf in the games of 2016.

What you may not know is that there seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether or not that would be a good thing for golf.

Golfers like Phil Mickelson are all for it, while others like Ernie Els oppose it.

So what do you think? Should golf be included in the games? And why?

===================================
Is this the golf channel or animal planet?

First there was the bear, then the gopher. And now it’s “the bees”

Seems that Anthony Kim got in the path of a few bees while searching for his ball at the Barclays tournament.
===================================

He got what he deserved…

If you’ve been a subscriber to our free golf tips for a while you may remember a story I told you about a few months ago;

A pro golfer named Tripp Isenhour, was charged with killing a protected hawk while filming a golf video back in December. He killed the hawk by hitting him with a golf shot.

Well, he finally got his day in court, and pleaed no contest to the charge.

He agreed to one year probation, 100 hours of community service, court costs, and he has to attend an anger management class.

Now I know who Tiger can use for target practice when he starts swinging a club again.

So, who do you think should be player of the year?

Should be be Padraig Harrington, who won two majors? (and then missed the last two cuts in the FedEx cup…)

Or should it be Vijay Singh, who will (probably) win the FedEx Cup? (so long as he makes the cut at the Tour Championship…)

Or should it be Tiger? who won wounded at the US Open?

Or maybe even Greg Norman? (OK, that was a stretch… )

Put your comments in below and let us know What You Think.
