So Much More than a Golf Ball

2023/12/04

I talk about the golf ball roll back, and how it will effect golfers. There are so many angles to look at this from. Changing the golf ball will have a effect on driver sales, wedge sales, but more importantly it is giving golfers a negative topic to rant and complain about. "Golf is hard enough" is the general consensus, and people haven't looked at it from any other angle than, "this only hurts me and my scores." It will have an effect golf course maintenance, and

I got this question often when fitting. I've gotten it a few times since starting this podcast. I understand being a single male with no children my opinion on the importance of amenities might differ from yours. To the most recent golfer moving to a new town, and wanting to know where to join, go play the muni track for a few weeks. The golfers there will tell you whats what.

I was sitting around eating breakfast and figured I'd take a minute to answer a few listeners fitting questions. Before I knew it I was 20 minutes in and I had an episode. I talk about how body type and swing, has more to do with an iron fitting than height. I use the Fujikura Venus Black, Graphite Design AD Iz, and Aldila Rogue, to show how companies use advertising and descriptions to sell their products. All 3 of the shaft I use claim to do the same thing, but have huge differences in cost
