Gen Wright asked:

ow that a full round of 18 hole golf can be exhausting enough without having to constantly throw your bag over your shoulders and lug it around. This is precisely the reason that electric golf trolleys have become increasingly popular over the past few years. Professionals and amateurs alike will swear by these trolleys and there really is no doubting the benefit they can provide. In order to improve your golf game on the whole, you need to maintain maximum focus and constantly wearing yourself down by dragging around a full set of clubs can be a detriment to the way you play. We know that electric golf trolleys can give us a huge advantage on the greens, but which companies manufacture the best of the best?

The increasing popularity of electric golf trolleys has expanded the competition in the marketplace. With more and more companies creating, designing and marketing these products, it can prove to be a very stressful job choosing the best one for your needs. Researching and trying out all the different trolleys can be a very trying process. The good news is, if you are trying to decide which trolley design or company to choose you have come to the right place. Here we will break down some of the best designers and help you narrow down your choices.

One of the newest yet brightest brands on the market is MotoCaddy. While the brand itself has only been on the market for 5 years, they have steadily produced high quality trolleys that offer the best bang for your buck. New in 2009 is the S5 MotoCaddy. It will undoubtedly be the most top of the line trolley that MotoCaddy has designed but will still fall on the lower end of the price scale in comparison to some of the other competing brands. If you are looking for top quality and certified service at an affordable price, then MotoCaddy is the brand for you.

Now, if you are the type that leans towards the more established and trusted brands, then PowaKaddy electric golf trolleys are perfect for you.

If money is not your biggest concern, PowaKaddy is the brand you should look into first.

Another well established brand that has a ton of committed supporters is Hill Billy Golf Trolley. They offer warranty backed trolleys that are some of the sturdiest available. The big benefit here is how lightweight Hill Billy trolleys are without giving up anything when it comes to durability. These trolleys are also extremely compact and come with intelligent remote controls that can allow for the product to move around to predetermined and set distances. The Hill Billy Terrain Electric Golf Trolley is the newest design from this manufacturer and has been specifically created to give you the most for your money.

Golf Real Estate: for the Love of the Game

June 29th, 2009

Cyndi Gerken asked:

Since 1456, when the first game was recorded in Edinburgh, golf has been creating some of world’s most loyal fans and devotees. But we’ve come a long way from that crude beginning where players spent their time hitting a rock around on the craggy moors with a well-shaped stick. The Journal of Sports Sciences reports that there are now 30,000 golf courses and 55 million people who play golf worldwide. Over the centuries, players traded in the well-shaped sticks for drivers, irons, wedges, hybrids, and putters. We now have professionally designed courses, state-of-the-art gear, international tournaments and celebrities. For those who really love the game however, perhaps the greatest modern golf invention is the golf community: a place to call home where the whole neighborhood celebrates the game as seriously as players do.

These communities offer the best professionally-designed courses all within a three iron/driver’s distance from your front lawn. Often attracting celebrities and professional golf players, the challenging courses will test even the most experienced golfers. Still, there’s enough variety in the courses to keep both avid and amateur golfers entertained. Residents don’t need to be semi-pro, nor do they have to dumb it down. A range of challenges will keep it interesting for everyone - so feel free to invite your favorite non-golfing friends and relatives over. They might catch the bug too and end up as your neighbors!

With expansive greens and manicured fairways, golf communities offer residents generous and peaceful landscapes, a chance to get out and get active and social opportunities not present in many modern communities. Let’s face it, getting out on the green is good for you. Whether you’re doing the whole 18 or you’re just out for a quick 9 holes before running an errand, walking the course is an excellent way to relieve stress, stay in shape and keep your mind sharp.

Fortunately for most, a huge portion of American golf real estate is found in locations where the weather’s good all year round giving golfers time on the links even in December. This is great news for most players who know that once you’ve caught the bug, love of the game persists in spite of calendars. Regardless of skill level, devoted golfers can make it out whenever the time is right for them, “hitting the greens” as much as possible without weather interference or long distances to travel.

With the enduring popularity of the sport, it’s not surprising that golf real estate is also popular. With no shortage of people to play with and all the amenities of a luxurious country club, homes in golf communities will remain a good investment for years to come. Gated security, spas, pools, pro-shops, and communal areas add to both the community spirit and luxury of the lifestyle. But make no mistake, bells and whistles aside, these communities will always hinge on the one thing residents never tire of - the love of the game.

How To Turn Your Golfing Pastime Into A Ticket To College

June 29th, 2009
golf news
Gregg Hall asked:

Do you love the game of golf? Is being out in the sun trying to capture that elusive hole in one, a dream come true? Why not put your skills to use and gain a scholarship to the college or university of your choice?

Did you even know that many colleges and universities offer golf scholarships? You are not alone. Few realize that a passion for golf can help gain affordable entry into a college or university that meets and exceeds many dreams. It is not hard to receive one of these scholarships, but it does take a little marketing.

Golf scholarships are usually only partial scholarships. They will not cover the entire cost of your education, but every little bit helps. The good news is that because they are only partial, there are more of them. It is easier to get a golf scholarship than it is a baseball, football, or hockey scholarship. Odds are high that you can nab a partial scholarship to the school of your choice.

There are more than 280 colleges for men and around 215 colleges for women that offer golf programs at a division one level. For division two, there are around 185 colleges for men and 90 colleges for women that offer golfing. This means there are more than 3,500 scholarships available for both men and women.

Not every school offers a golfing program, so you will need to check carefully to see if the schools on your list have them. If not, you may need to be adaptable to where you get your college education.

The most important trick is to make yourself know to golfing scouts. Play golf in high school if possible, some schools offer golf as an extracurricular sport. Get to know the different coaches. Be subtle, but charm them into knowing and remembering your name. Play well and make sure they know you are excelling.

To gain a golfing scholarship, you will need to contact the colleges that make your list and then ask them for information on the program. You will need to pay attention to the rules of the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) and the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.) They have strict rules that must be followed, but they also keep detailed lists of all available scholarships and offer information for both students and parents.

When applying for a golfing scholarship, you will need to prove you excelled at both golf and in school. Read all applications carefully and provide all of the necessary forms. Failure to do so can lead to a declined application. If you have questions, always ask first before sending in your forms.

You can use your passion for golf to receive a scholarship that will help you gain a college education while enjoying your sport. Take time to thoroughly research your options and then enjoy the ride!

Refining your Game With a Golf Net

June 29th, 2009
golf news
Alex Bezborodko asked:

A great way to improve your golf game is to buy a golf net. Golfers invest in golf nets for a variety of reasons depending on their skill level, their ability to practice, and their own goals for their golf game. A golf practice net is a great way to improve your accuracy, your swing, and even your stance. A golf net will allow you to practice all of the elements crucial to your golf game in just about any space, big or small. A golf cage net will also allow avid golfers to have a place to practice their swing even when they can’t get to the course or the driving range.

Because golfers will use their golf nets in a variety of areas, one can find a variety of golf ball net solutions. When you go to any golf shop or even shop online you’ll find that there is a golf hitting net in just about every price range, which is good news because you’ll typically be able to find a quality product that will help you achieve the desired results and changes to your golf game. If you aren’t necessarily shopping for a golf net to improve your game but just to have the ability to practice anywhere at anytime, you’ll also find that there is golf practice net that will fit your needs as well as your budget.

If you are shopping for a simple golf training net you’ll likely find something like the Chip Shot Pop UP Chipping Net. This is a very simple net that will simply act as a stopper for all of your golf balls. While this product does not have a target in the rear of it, it does offer one the ability to see where their ball will land after each and every swing so you can still practice your swing, your stance, as well as your accuracy. This type of net will usually cost about $30.00 and can be used as an indoor golf net as well as an outdoor net.

If you want something a bit more upscale you can always go for the P-Net Golf Practice Net. This golf net offers a target as well as small sides to help keep the balls in the net even if they go off to the sides a bit. The target at the back of this golf net will help improve accuracy and build confidence with a new stance, a new swing, or the beginner that just wants to get a grasp of all of the fundamentals of golf. This type of golf practice net will run a bit more, costing about $110.00 but is well worth it for those that want a professional quality golf net at their disposal.

A wrap around golf net is a great idea. This type of golf net almost looks like a little dome. This half dome like construction helps to catch miss-hits for the golfer so that chasing down balls does not take up all of ones practice time. The wrap around golf net is actually a three sided net or tent like structure and is one of the most useful golf nets that you can buy. Many of these products simply pop right up and golf down quickly so that it can be taken anywhere at a moments notice.

A golf net really is a great tool for any golfer and you’ll find that most experts have their very own golf net to further their skills. A great golfer is one that realizes he or she must always improve their game to stand out, and a golf net is a great way to practice your golf game in the comfort of your own home or backyard. When you consider how much a net can help you improve or gain confidence in your golfing abilities you’ll find that it is a necessary investment for any golfer.
