With so many GPS golf range finders are on the market these days, it’s getting more and more difficult to know what to go for. We have tested several of these and have picked 1 out that ticks all the boxes. That’s the Golf Buddy Pro GPS. Here are some of the reasons why.

- No Annual Fees To Pay

The big difference between the Golf Buddy Pro GPS and most other systems is the fact that you don’t need to pay an annual fee with the Golf Buddy GPS. That’s less expense and more value. On top of that, you can download additional courses from the manufacturers website for free.

- 20,000 Courses Storage

One big issue that is worth mentioning, is the storage capacity of the GPS golf range finder. There are many systems out there that are good, but fail on this all important issue. The last thing you need to be doing is to always be deleting courses in the units memory to make room for new ones.

The Golf Buddy Pro GPS beats the competition hands down with it’s impressive 20,000 course memory capacity. This feature puts this system miles ahead of the competition. all courses from North America are pre installed into the system, with the added ability to be used anywhere in the world too. World courses can be downloaded to the system whenever you want them.

- Calculate Your Distance To The Whole Quickly

For years golfers have been using the more traditional method of using the sprinkler heads on the golf course to work out the yardage and thus judge the remaining distance to the hole. The Golf Buddy Pro GPS now removes the need for to do any of that. with a couple of pushes of a button, the Golf Buddy will work out your remaining distance to hole within an error range of 2 yards. Not bad.

These were but a few of the reasons why the Golf Buddy Pro GPS out performs the rival competition like it does. We have tested many GPS golf range finders in the last 18 months and the Golf Buddy Pro GPS has far exceeded our expectations. If you are considering a GPS, then look no further than the Golf Buddy Pro.

When someone refers to golf club covers they are referring to the sock like covers put on the longer golf clubs known as woods. However the notion of golf club covers can also extend to the rest of the bag of clubs as the idea of iron covers is also becoming quite popular. The golf club covers do a lot for your golf club. They protect your club in the rain and damp weather. If you lay your bag down in freshly cut grass the golf club covers will make sure the grass doesn’t cover your clubs.

The golf club covers also protect your clubs from each other as golf clubs can become damaged by banging around into each other while in your bag. It used to be that golf club covers were very basic items that looked like socks and had on them the number of the club that was being covered. A very expensive set of golf club covers would look not unlike a very basic set and they usually served the same purpose. After a while golfers started to express their personality through their golf club covers and whole new industry was born.

It has been going on for a while now. Your big burly friend from work would put a gorilla golf club cover on his driver because he felt that he projected a lot of power with his driver. Sometimes the covers would come in sets of what looked like puppets and they would have entire families of covers to use on clubs that would express a little personality in an otherwise solemn game. Then, not too long ago, someone came along that changed everything and caused a boom in the sales of covers all over the world. That person was Tiger Woods.

Tiger and His Boy Frank

Tiger Woods burst onto the golf scene as an amateur and a golfer had not been so anticipated since Jack Nicklaus. It did not take long for people to start to notice that the golf club cover covering Tiger’s driver was a tiger. Soon the sales of tiger driver covers took off and people all over the world were sporting their Tiger Woods’ driver cover and adding a bit of color and fun to the exploits on the golf course. Then we learned that the cover had a name and could talk.

Tiger Woods’ driver cover is named Frank and thanks to a series of television commercials a couple of years ago everyone got to watch Frank talk and give Tiger advice. It was all in good fun and the result was a thriving industry that has grown up around creating new golf club covers and maybe even finding the next Frank.

If you’re a golfer who travels with their clubs then a golf travel case is a must for you. Protecting your clubs with the right golf travel case is important.

Golf travel bags last a long time. So if you make the wrong choice you’ll probably be carrying it around for many years. Too big a case means extra weight. Too small means no space for shoes, hat or an extra set of clothes. Golf travel bags come in a variety of colors, sizes and styles to suit every personality. Whether you’re a basic black person or want more color in your life there’s a color and style for you.

Your travel dictates the type of golf travel case you need. For airline travelers the hard sided golf case is probably the one for you.

Baggage handling and shuttles mean more tossing and jostling of your golf clubs. Baggage handlers are rushing to unload and load the plane quickly. This means your clubs get thrown and tossed more than ever.

Soft Sided Golf Bag or Hard Golf Case?

The outside layer of the hard golf travel case with the padding protects your clubs from the world of baggage handlers.

But if you’re a golfer who travels mainly by car, then the soft golf travel case will probably be your bag of choice. With its waterproof exterior and interior padding, your clubs are protected as they ride in the trunk of the car or on the luggage cart to your hotel room.

You’ll find space to store your soft golf travel bag under the bed or in a closet. The hard golf travel case is a little more of a challenge. The hard cases won’t fit under a bed and take up a lot of space in a closet.

When you decide whether you’re a car or airline traveler you’ll have the information to make the choice for the best golf travel case for your needs. If you plan ahead you can even find a case where you can pack your shoes, hat and clothes. Then it’s just a matter of changing your clothes, grabbing those clubs and heading to the course.

Online shopping is an easy way to find a variety of golf travel bags. No matter your choice, hard golf travel case or soft golf travel bag you’ll find one to match your needs and protect your clubs.

Travel and golf are a fantastic combination. Enjoy your travel as you discover new courses. Don’t forget to protect your investment in your clubs with a golf travel case.

Once you start looking for gift ideas you may be overwhelmed by the amount of options available. So to help you out, I have prepared my top 4 ideas for great golf gifts.

Practical Golf Gifts

Normally, the safest golf gifts that you can buy are practical ones. Things like golf balls are a good bet. If you can find out which type and brand of golf ball the golfer uses then you could buy a box of the same ones or perhaps buy them more expensive golf balls. Make sure you know the golf ball specifications the golfer likes - high spin, distance, soft feel, etc.

A different idea for choosing practical golf gifts is to buy brand name replacement head-covers. If the golfer uses Adams golf clubs, for example, and the head-covers are scuffed and worn or mismatched, then you could buy some Adams replacement head-covers.

A Personalized Golf Gift

As an unique golf gift you can’t beat personalized golf gifts. There are several options of personalized golf equipment or accessories. Probably the most popular are personalized golf balls, where you can have up to three lines of text imprinted on the golf balls of your choice.

Some more golf accessories that can be personalized are embroidered golf shirts, golf towels, and golf caps. You can also find personalized golf bags with two lines of customizable text from the likes of Nike and Callaway Golf.

A Golf Memorabilia Gift

If you are looking for an unusual golf gift then you can’t go wrong with golf memorabilia. You will want to make sure that the item is certified and authentic golf memorabilia. Look for a guarantee and that every autographed product comes with a certificate of authenticity (COA). You will surely find that unusual golf gift you were looking for and something that any golfer would be pleased to receive.

Exclusive Corporate Golf Gifts

Most business persons that own their company and are also golfers have probably made some business on the golf course. Or, maybe you work for a company that needs to supply corporate golf gifts for clients. In either case, your best option is to order some custom logo golf gifts. Custom logo golf products are a fantastic way to endorse your company. Again, the most popular are custom logo golf balls which can even be ordered with their own custom logo packaging.

These are my top 4 golf & gifts ideas - there are others which you can check out below. With these ideas, you should be able to find the ideal golf gift - whether it is for a loved one, a friend, or a business associate.

Whether it is a used set of golf clubs that you just picked up at a garage sale or a set that you purchased brand new and have been playing for years, re-gripping your golf clubs is a terrific idea. After all, your grip is the only direct contact that you physically have with your golf clubs. Just a very minor twisting of the grip will be magnified many times over in the inaccuracy of the shot result.

If you play many times a week you should re-grip your golf clubs more frequently than if you play twice a month. The re-gripping of your golf clubs must be done correctly or the problem could actually get worse.

Core Size

Proper re-gripping of your golf clubs requires you to know the core size of the grip that you require and the size of the grip that best fits your hand. Grips come in standard core sizes of; .520″, .560″, .580″, .600″, and .620″. To determine the core size, simply measure the diameter of the butt of the shaft that you are going to re-grip.

It is critical that the diameter of the shaft match the core diameter of the grip. The next step in the re-gripping process is to determine what size grip best fits your hands. Grips come in a variety of sizes; small, medium, large, and jumbo.

Grip Sizing Your Golf Clubs

To accurately determine what grip size fits your hands, measure from your wrist (base of hand) to the end of your longest finger. If the result is less than 6.5 inches you should use a small grip. Use a .560″ if the distance is 6.5 to 7.0 inches, .560″ if 7.0 to 7.5 inches, and .580″ if 7.5 to 8.0 inches. For anything over 8.0 inches, select a jumbo grip.

Materials Required to Re-Grip Your Golf Clubs

You will need grip solvent, two sided, two inch wide grip tape, a container to catch the unused solvent in, a vise and a special rubber shaft holder. Many of the golf club re-gripping experts use Coleman camp fuel because they claim no residue is left over and it does a great job. These same experts caution against using WD40 because it leaves an oily residue and as a result the grips could come loose.

Re-Gripping Steps

Put the shaft holder over your club shaft and tighten the vise. Cut a piece of tape 8.0 inches long. Place it along the butt of the shaft leaving a half-inch over the end of the shaft. Wrap the tape around the shaft and push it slightly into the shaft to seal the end of the club. Squeeze solvent along the tape, fill the grip about three quarters full of solvent, put your finger over the hole in the end of the grip and then squeeze the grip opening closed.

Now shake the grip so that solvent covers the entire inside and pour the solvent along the tape. Push the grip up and over the shaft butt then hold the grip by the front and back and push applying equal pressure with both hands. Clean up any excess solvent from the grip and let it set for an hour. Good Luck re-gripping your golf clubs!

If you’re a golfer then you’re one of 61.1 million people worldwide who enjoy the game of golf. Lots of company for those of us working to improve our game. Unfortunately most of us have a short season in which to play during the months of April to October. At least in the northern hemisphere. The rest of the time the weather isn’t as nice with the cold, rain or in some cases snow.

Warm weather golfing is still available during the off season in places like Florida, Arizona, or Nevada. Unfortunately most of us can’t run off for a quick round of golf and hop on a plane. But that doesn’t mean your golf skills will get rusty during the off season.

Even if there’s snow on the ground, you can still get some quality practice time. Find some open space and you’re ready to go.

If you want to practice during the “off” season you’re going to need some tools to help out. A good golf net is important. This way you can work on your swing without having to chase the ball across an open field or in your garage.

Pair the golf net with a golf practice mat and you’re ready to go. Many of the golf practice mats let you use your own tees so you’ll have the same feel as being on the course. Some mats have fibers, which act like grass so the feel will be similar as if you were using your driver or irons on the golf course.

By combining a golf practice mat with your golf net or cage and you’ll have the best practice set-up. A specialty mat can mimic the different positions of the ball. You can practice with your wedge in uphill, downhill or side of hill positions. With the combination you can best use your time. No ball chasing but stroke practice.

What Do You Need To Know Before You Buy A Golf Cage Or Golf Net

A stationary net gives you the ability to practice your drive as well as your chip shots. With a golf net or golf cage you spend your time and effort working on your game, not on running around picking up golf balls. Durability and ease of use is the key for a golf net or golf cage.

The best designed golf cages and golf nets are easy to use. This means they fold easily and pop up when opened. You don’t want to have to hire a mechanic to put up the cage every time you want to practice.

If you want increased protection for those around you when you are practicing, then a golf cage is preferable to a golf net. With the design you will have increased durability and a protected space in which to drive and chip your golf ball. Don’t forget to check for UV and mildew protection. Since many people leave their golf cages outside, your cage will be protected from the rain and the sun. That way you’ll be ready to practice as soon as you grab your clubs and golf ball.

Find a golf cage which is easy to put up. That is unless you want to spend your practice time putting something together. Many of the better golf cages uses snap in poles and easy twist eye bolts. Make your choice an easy to set up golf cage and you’ll find yourself practicing your shots frequently. Otherwise you’ll find excuses not to practice.

So when the weather turns cold, you can still get in your practice time with your golf cage and practice mat. This way when the weather turns sunny and warm again you’ll be ready to show your game off.

Golf carts are an indispensable part of golf and nowadays almost all golf clubs try to keep an acceptable amount of golf carts on hand The first golf carts made their entrance on the golf scene in the 1950’s, and since then have undergone a lot of innovations. The first golf cart that was introduced to the world operated on electricity and nowadays you can find both gas and electric run golf carts.

The first golf cart was created by a person named Merle Williams in the year 1951. During those days many car companies were coming out with electric cars as getting gas was difficult. Merle tried to utilize the ideas that he had about electric cars in trying to come up with the first electric golf car. Merle started manufacturing his golf cart with the help of his Marketer Company and started its production in California. The very first sets of carts were two-seaters, and these days carts can seat up to six people. Merle’s first electric golf cart spurred other companies to start manufacturing their own versions of the golf cart. Nearly twenty years later the first gas powered golf cart was made in 1971.

The first golf carts that were introduced into the market used to be very simple but with each passing year golf car manufacturers tried to outdo the last years model with new and innovative modifications. The innovations have reached to such a stage that now you can even make your own customizations to the golf cart you want to buy for your own use. You can not only add to the luxury of the seats, but also can make other additions like integrating television into the backs of the seats. You can even add neon lights, though not necessary, if you want. There are a large range of customizations you will be able to add to your golf cart. You could also make them look more attractive by adding great graphics and vinyl to the body of the cart.

Golf carts were introduced to help golfers get around the course easily. It made carrying the heavy golf bags quite easy and on top of that people did not have to tow them on their backs anymore. The golf cart still has its functional use, but the thing is, it rode on the back of many innovations and now it is made into more of a luxury item that upper class indulge in and try to add their innovations to it as much as they can. It is hard to say who exactly started the golf cart trend but whoever it was it surely has caught on.
