What’s in Your Golf Bag?

/ The Grateful Golfer / 18 Comments

I bet if you look in your golf bag, you will find a mix mash of clubs. Most amateur players are not loyal to one manufacturer and make no bones about it. Manufacturer loyalty is difficult given the plethora of choices facing anyone trying to purchase a new club.

Over the years, I have played Spalding, Ping, Cobra, Callaway, Titleist, and many knock off clubs. I have always searched for that right club to fix my game and sometimes I was lucky, but for the most part I searched for deals that I could afford.

The rate at which “new” technology is released is unbelievable. I find it impossible for manufacturers to produce all the innovative changes that are guaranteed to improve our golf game! It is just not possible. Not being independently wealthy, I also cannot afford a new driver every 4 months in the hopes that it will fix my game! Can you?

Jim and Carm at Roundel Glen Golf Course

2-Person Scramble at Roundel Glen Golf Course; I wrote the foundation for this article yesterday. It was a fantastic day and fun was had by all the players. I was fortunate my friend Carmen Stoddart was able to play. We golf regularly, but this is the first time we played in a golf tournament together.

We were in the middle of the pack for tee times and were paired with two great players. Chester and Mike are both solid sticks and have a history of placing first or second in this fun 2-person scramble. Carm and I were lucky to be paired with these gentlemen because their light-hearted approach to the game made our round very enjoyable.

Remembering What Works In Golf

/ The Grateful Golfer / 6 Comments

For some reason, I stopped doing certain aspects of my golf game that are proven to be very successful. Does this ever happen to you? It is challenging and frustrating at the same time to relearn the same golf lessons.There are many reasons for having to go back to your roots, but lately I seem to be a victim of my own foolishness.

As you are aware, I like looking at all aspects of golf and sometimes I get lost in the labyrinth of the journey! Many paths lead to a dead-end, but now and then I strike it rich. Lately, my game has not been where I think it should be, but my recent adventure with pre-round visualization has opened my eyes and I am ready, like the phoenix rising from the ashes, to re-invigorate some of my past successes.
