Arizona Golf Carts

admin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 10:09:19 +0000

Golf is one of the most fun and relaxing games that we could possibly play. Regardless if you’re just driving balls alone or playing with a group of friends, there are a lot of things that are fun about the sport. This is why thousands of people flock to the links every year, and there seems to be more people becoming infatuated with the game day after day. With this being the case, there is definite need for the equipment to be produced, and every year, we seem to be surprised with what the manufacturers have to offer. While having some pretty good clubs are nice, a lot of people feel as if they should have a good golf cart. Transportation on a golf course is very important, as the links are pretty expansive, giving need for a person to have something sufficient that they could get around in. Golf carts are a big industry, and there are simply a lot of options for a person to choose from if they want to get the best out of their money.

If you’re looking for good Arizona golf carts, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to find them with the help of a good resource. We’ve been known to point people in the right direction if they’re on the hunt. We offer some pretty good deals on new and used golf carts, those that have been thoroughly tested and approved by people who are in the industry. We also have had the distinct honor of working with many different golf carts, from gas to electric, and from those that are on the links to those that are street legal. We understand that a person may need a golf cart for any number of uses, and we consider everything when we are bringing our options to the consumer. As avid golf cart users ourselves, we don’t believe that anyone should have to deal with one that won’t hold up to even the most discerning client’s expectations.

Golf Clubs For Sale Get You Into The Game With Less Fortune

Golf Clubs For Sale Get You Into The Game With Less Fortune

Let me tell you a secret that golf clubs for sale are in abundant supply, particularly in the winter. Do not look down upon these people who use discount golf clubs, essentially there is absolutely nothing wrong playing with golf clubs for sale.

Golf is one of those sports that can have a very high financial threshold to get in. If you buy new clubs, bag, shoes, glove, balls, towel and all the other paraphernalia you can easily be looking at ,000. Or you can get an entire set and a bag for less than 0. Find a deal on golf shoes, get a discount golf glove and play Top Flite golf balls and you’re in business for less than 5.00 total.

So where do you find these clubs, cheap golf drivers for example? Yard Sales Rock…If You’ve Got The Time!

Checking your local paper for yard sales may or may not help you in your search for discount golf club sets. The reason being is that golf clubs are rarely featured in the yard sale ads. However, it’s a safe bet that one out of four will have clubs for sale. The advantage of yard sales is two fold.

First, if there are golf clubs for sale there probably is a bag for sale as well. If you have to buy a new bag for your cheap clubs you could spend another to 0. Getting one as part of a used set is almost a steal.

Another reason yard sales are great is because they’re usually held on weekend mornings. Where is the husband on a weekend morning? Not at the yard sale but out playing golf. That means that you negotiate with Mom, whose primary motive is to clean out the garage, for the price of those clubs.

Other good sources are the free online classifieds like CraigsList and USFreeads. Unless you really think you’ve found a buy, don’t offer full price. Send an email and offer something less.

Retailers, particularly online sites like mygolfclubsforsalee.com can offer some great deals on brand name used clubs. Better still, they offer free shipping to almost all countries.

Should You Join A Golf Club?

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:42:56 +0000

Should You Join A Golf Club?

If you are a newcomer to golf or even just thinking about taking up the game then you are probably not sure where to start. I strongly believe that the easiest and best way to take up golf is to join a golf club and enmesh yourself within it.

Golf can be a difficult game to pick up on your own. Even if someone introduces you to golf and decides to become your “trainer” you had better check their credentials before you pick up their bad habits. There are many golfers out there who are only to keen to give you advice. Advice on which club to take, how to grip the club, how to address the ball, how to swing the club, how to aim, you name they will want to give you advice. However, you need to check how good they actually are. Many golfers here tips at the bar and it is these tips that are being told to you as a newcomer and as a newcomer in case you are not careful you will end up with so many tips and many of them which are complete nonsense that you can put your game back months.

That is why I tell you to join a golf club. Most golf clubs have a resident professional with their on site golf shop. These people are professionals and the advice they will give you will save you much heartache over the years. They can advise you on club selection if you have not already bought clubs. If you already have clubs they can check that they are properly set up for you and if not they can carry out any adjustments required. Professionals will also offer lessons, usually as half an hour or an hour time-scale. If you buy a batch of lessons you will most likely get a discount. During the lesson the professional will be able to teach you the correct grip, how to address the club and how to complete your swing. By starting out with professional lessons you will learn correctly from the start. If you were learning to fly a plane you would check that your instructor was qualified to teach you and not just select someone from the bar to teach you how to fly. Treat golf as learning to fly, get the correct training up front. The other plus of joining a golf club is the camaraderie If you are going out for a game of golf you will find there will always be fellow golfers who will join you for your 18 holes. Most people enjoy the social side of golf and playing a round with a fellow golf enthusiast should be a pleasurable experience.

Once you have learnt the basics you will recognise the good golfers who can help you with your game. To be honest some of the best advice I have ever had on a golf course is from two sons who are both category 1 golfers. They understand better that I do my level of ability on the golf course and when they see me trying to hit a Phil Mickelson wonder shot they are quick to bring course management to my mind and advise me on what is probably a more suitable shot for each situation.

Join a club, get some professional training and go out there and enjoy what must be the best game on the planet.

Choosing the Right Golf Driver for You

Choosing the Right Golf Driver for You

With so many golf drivers available in the market today are you are left clueless short listing the right kind of golf driver for you? Right now it turns out that you need not necessarily go hunting around in discount golf equipment shops to get good value, since even the branded drivers are currently available for very reasonable rates. So when you have the option to choose between many top notch golf drivers, how do you make up your mind which one is the right driver for you? The answer to know the different aspects of a golf driver and how the variations would suit your personal style as well as meeting the demands of a having great performance in the actual game.

Experts have a lot of experience and thus have come up with certain dos and don’ts when it comes to buying the right kind of golf driver. You have plenty of informational resources on the internet that provide you with exclusive golf driver reviews. Such testimonials on golf drivers might be of some help to help you purchase the right one. Golf drivers review is essential so that you have an idea built in your minds ahead of deciding which model to purchase for your personal use.

If you could sum up in a single sentence on the factors influencing your purchase of the perfect golf driver to suit your needs then it would comprise of size of the driver, material of the driver, loft of the driver, shaft flex, length of the shaft and grip size. Considering carefully all of these factors put together would lead you into knowing that your confidence in the game is boosted just by the look and feel of it. The last thing you want is to find out that you have spent good money on an ill-fitting golf driver while you are in the middle of a game!

Gone are the days where the golf driver could cover only 250 yards. With modern technologies in place many golf courses are being revamped in the last decade due to the added length of the tees these days. You must take into consideration size and try and opt for the biggest of them all. Because the larger the club, the larger the sweet spot, increasing the chances of hitting the ball at a greater length. The longer your first shot, the shorter your second, thus larger golf drivers facilitate a lower score. You could opt for the trendy titanium heads that are lighter in weight thus giving you higher club head speed. It is also long lasting and highly durable.

The next criterion is the loft of the club. It should essentially be within 7.5 degrees to 13 degrees. The angle decides on how well you get the ball high into the air. If you are an amateur go for a lower value, if not go for the higher angle. As far as the shaft length factor, the longer the shaft the more is the speed. So you could opt for lengths between 43-46 inches. As far as the material of the shaft is concerned you have a plethora of steel, graphite and other materials available. For the modern times, graphite should suit your putting needs. Lastly you need to finalize on the grip size, which should essentially be smaller because larger grips reduces the swing of the club.

Now that you have a good foundation to make the right decision when you buy yourself a new golf driver, go ahead and have a ball shopping for it!

Let’s talk about buying ladies golf clubs! (Part One)

Let’s talk about buying ladies golf clubs! (Part One)

As a woman you will probably find that your choice is somewhat limited when it comes to selecting most types of golf club that you might want to buy.

This really puts you at a disadvantage when you want to put together a whole set of clubs because you actually need each one to fit you and be comfortable and easy to use so that you will get the most out of your game(Wholesale golf).

The situation does seem to be getting better, but buying golf clubs for women is still not an easy task!

Why are there so few Ladies Golf Clubs for sale?

This problem is due to the simple fact that the number of golf clubs designed and manufactured specifically for women golfers is quite small. Although the golf club market itself is huge the part of that market which caters just to the needs of female golf players represents only a small percentage of total sales (Callaway golf).

In fact it is probably too small in comparison to the number of women who now play golf. The number of sales seen on ladies golf clubs is often considered just too small for a golf club manufacturer to justify spending a lot on research and design to provide the ultimate ladies golf club.

However some companies are making an effort and things are getting better, but even so the choice of club style, flex of the shaft, swing weights and lofts that you will currently find available in most golfing shops is going to be quite small.

Fortunately there now some good new golf club lines that are designed just for women golfers, including golf club sets purpose built for women.

Chronicler of Golf Is a ‘Legend’

Chronicler of Golf Is a ‘Legend’

There have been so many thrills and accomplishments in Bob Thomas’ 25-year career with the Southern California Golf Association, it would take hours to reminisce about them after his retirement this month.

The regrets? Few, although he certainly would have liked to pare his handicap. Working for the organization that tallies every golfer’s handicap in Southern California, Thomas can’t fudge when you ask him about it, and his index number right now: a hearty 24.3.
“One of my retirement goals is to get a little bit better, which would imply actually playing and practicing,” Thomas joked.

It’s a truism in the golf industry. The higher you rise in the business, the less time you have to play, and seldom has a golf index number been more irrelevant when measuring a person’s contributions to the game.

For the past quarter century, Thomas, 63, has been an instrumental part of the SCGA as its director of communications and publisher and editor of FORE Magazine. As the longest standing employee, he has been a roll-up-your-sleeves participant in the enormous changes that have come to the game and the SCGA.

The 110-year-old SCGA had 90,000 golfers as members when Thomas came over from a corporate communications job in September 1983; it has 150,000 today. There were 425 member clubs; now there are 1,100. There were nine championship events; now there are 24. Thomas grew FORE Magazine from a quarterly to six times a year, and he inaugurated the valuable SCGA Directory in 1992.

He has taken thousands of photographs and written millions of words about amateur golfers who played for the love of the game, not for money. The best part is that he shared his golf equipment importance.

“The word ‘legend’ is a big word, but to the Southern California golf community, and to amateur golfers, that’s really what he’s become,” said Katie Denbo, a protege of Thomas who succeeds him as the editor and publisher of FORE.

Frank Moore, 42, has arrived from media relations at Northrop Grumman to be the SCGA’s new director of communications and marketing.

“Hands down, I think he’s one of the most talented communicators in the industry,” Denbo said of Thomas. “He just has that knowledge of how to interact with players, golf courses, the media, advertisers, all of these different levels. Everybody really respects him.”

Said Thomas: “I care passionately about the game, passionately about the SCGA. We do great work here. The people I work with and work for, the members are uppermost in their mind.

“With the magazines, the directory and Internet site, we spent a lot of hours trying to do the best we could to bring knowledge to people. We wanted people to understand that there was more to golf than hitting a ball around a course. There is so much more to the game.”

Kevin Heaney, the current executive director of the SCGA and the fourth under whom Thomas served, chuckled when he thought of the hours and energy expended by Thomas, who’d send e-mails at 4 in the morning and make phone calls late into the night.

“High energy,” said Heaney, who worked with Thomas for 24 years. “The guy burned through a lot of Diet Coke. It kept him going.”
Some of Heaney’s favorite memories about Thomas’ dedication are from watching him work the State Amateur when it was held at Pebble Beach. The weather sometimes turned nasty in June.

“And Bob’s out there running around with his camera. It was like a bad scene from ‘Caddyshack,’ ” Heaney said. “Bob’s going crazy, trying to stand still in the wind to get a shot. It was classic Bob.”

Through the years, FORE Magazine has been dedicated to covering the top-level amateur events in the state, and Thomas attended nearly all of them in his 25 years. It was easy when there wasn’t an Internet and people dutifully waited for the magazine to come out. In recent years, fans and families of players have wanted instantaneous results, and the SCGA was one of the first organizations in the United States to offer live scoring. He has wide experience on golf clubs

Thomas remembers first going live at the 1996 U.S. Amateur at Pumpkin Ridge, won by Tiger Woods. There were more than 50 Californians in the field, and Thomas went to elaborate lengths to update each player’s card, hole by hole, on the Web.

“Two of the longest days of my life,” Thomas said.

Of course, this was the same guy who years ago brought, every day from home, the first computer into the SCGA’s Studio City offices.

“It was supposed to be portable,” Thomas said, “but it weighed 25 pounds.”

Thomas has seen an amazing array of talented players and quirky characters compete in SCGA events. Some of his favorites: Craig Steinberg, Scott McGihon, Pat Duncan, Mark Johnson, Ed Cuff, Jason Gore, Kemp Richardson and Todd Demsey.

There also was the guy who drank beer during events and teed his ball up on a beer can.
“Hard to believe, but I watched him do it,” Thomas said.
Not surprisingly, Woods stands out, too.

In 1994, Woods was a national star, and he jointly entered for the only time the SCGA Amateur and State Amateur. “Tiger was well beyond us at that point, but he took the time to play,” Thomas said. “I never asked him, but I think it was his way of saying thanks for us being there when he was a kid. That is the most special memory for me.”

Woods fired a 62 in one round of the SCGA Amateur at Hacienda Country Club and won handily. In the State Am, he reached the semifinals, but was upset by Cuff, the San Diegan who went on to win.

Thomas has seen the ups and the downs of the golf industry. He believes it takes too long to play a round, that courses have been made too long, too difficult and unwalkable. The prevalence of golf carts is a blessing and a curse, he said.

His gravest concern? “Water will be the biggest single issue over the next 20 years,” Thomas said.

Thomas will keep his hand in some golf marketing, and he’ll now have more time to enjoy his other interests – classical music, church activities and public transportation.

Maybe he’ll get more time to enjoy himself on the golf course, made freer with no camera over his shoulder. He can pick some sunny days to play.

“Golfers are unique,” Thomas said. “The overwhelming majority of them are solid, wonderful people. That’s been the greatest thing working for the SCGA, the people I’ve met.”
