Awesome Plastic Golf Tees!

When it comes to golf, I am particular about what tools I use for my golf game. I have a specific type of tee that I like to use. Those were once the Zero Friction 3 prong tees, but not anymore. After playing with the Hyperion Golf 5 prong golf tees, I am switching. Here are my reasons:

1. More Durable
• The Hyperion Golf tees lasted longer than the Zero Friction tees. Usually when I played with the Zero Friction tees, they would start to get a weak and bend after a few holes. These stay strong and I couldn't notice any sort of weak spot.
• Much more economical than wood tees. It seems like wood tees always break every hole. These last for a long time.
2. Stable
• They are very stable. You can get the ball on the tee much easier, and have it stay, than the 3-prong tees. The wind doesn't blow it off the tee. 
3. Longer Distance

• The Hyperion Golf tees also seemed to go farther than the average tee. 
4. Reduces Friction and Side Spin
• Due to the 5-prong design, it reduces the amount of friction on the ball during the shot. It also decreases the amount of side spin you get with average tees. 
5. Great Price

• These tees are a great price! You get 30 per pack for only $9.95. That's like 3 for $1.

Overall, I would definitely recommend these tees. You can get them on Amazon. Click here to get yours now. Have fun on the course!

Great New Golf Ball!

If you've ever wanted to get the most out of your golf game and haven't been satisfied with the results, you may be playing with the wrong ball. Most golfers struggle with a slice and spend most of their time searching for balls in the weeds and bushes. One reason for that is the ball they play. If you don't know how to control the golf ball, which most golfers don't, and you play a Pro V1 or other high end golf ball with a urethane cover, you're asking for a slice. The reason is that they're designed for spin, which average golfers can't do.

Here's a great solution for that problem. There's a great new ball available on the market that gets you the best performance. It's rated currently at 5 stars and plays straight. It still offers you control and a soft feel, but keeps the ball from spinning off of the club. The only real way to slice it is to have an extreme out to in swing. Other than that, you're good to go.

Better yet, they have a 20% discount always available to those who purchase it. You just have to click on the Buy 1, Get 1 20% OFF button on the main page to get the code. I've played it myself and am extremely satisfied with it. I've spent much less time in the woods chasing balls, and have felt a greater deal of control over my game. At the listed price of $24.95 before the discount, it's a great deal compared to other high performance balls. After the discount it's $19.96 per dozen!

  So if you want to give it a try, just go to Amazon and search for Hyperion Golf balls or just click here. I think you'll really like what you see when you play with them. They're definitely my go to ball now.

Hyperion Golf also provides tips to improve your golf game. They've got videos on their Facebook page that are super helpful in playing a better round of golf. As of the date of this post, they've also got an offer currently for 70% OFF of the balls, so it's a must buy. Good luck to you in your golfing game!

How to Easily Hit out of the Rough

Many of us probably struggle with being in the rough a bit. If you've ever noticed, those types of shots are much different than fairway or even sand shots. The rough grabs the club, slowing your swing down and actually turning your club in the process. So a well hit ball often goes the wrong way! Here's a great video that gives three easy tips to get out of the rough successfully.

How Long Would it Take You?

So golf is now getting to the point where drives range anywhere from 350 - 400 yards. If I could hit like that, my local course would be a piece of cake! With all of the advanced technology in the drivers and new swing methods, it's not too difficult for these pros to be hitting it like that. As a result, courses are now extending the length of some of their holes to increase the difficulty.

At the Slovakia Challenge at Penati Golf Resort, they've got a Par 6 hole, which is the first ever on the European Tour. There are many people who are quite optimistic about this whole though. Ricardo Gouveia had this to say about it:

"It is a birdie opportunity, definitely. If you don't mess it up there's going to be a lot of low scores there this week." - EuropeanTour.com

 Obviously with the distance these pros can hit the ball, it shouldn't be too hard to get it there in 3 and then 2 putt. That's what most seem to think anyway.

My personal opinion is that the courses should just make it more difficult by adding some doglegs or other features that make it a game of skill rather than sheer driving power.

Let me know your stance on these incredibly long Par 6 holes by leaving a comment down below.

How to Fix Your Slice and Hit Straight

So most golfers worst enemy is the slice with a driver off of the tee. You know, those of us who are scared that we're going to smash through the window of someone's house on the right side of the fairway.

Most of us know how to line up the drive, making sure that the line from the tips of your shoes is pointing right down the middle of the fairway. The part that often throws people off though is how to turn with the club and make solid contact with the ball.

Even if you don't tend to slice the ball bad, most golfers will at least have a minor slice that still goes off of their original line to the right. That can often lead to being in a sand trap or in the deep stuff (hopefully not behind a tree or rock). The good news is that with a little correction and practice, you can fix your slice and start to find the fairway everytime!

Rickie Fowler and Butch Harmon give some great tips to help straighten the swing out in this video.

Have you Ever Made a Birdie Putt with Your Sand Wedge?

Golf is a hard enough game with using the correct clubs for your shot, nevermind using a wedge for a putter. That's exactly what Robert Streb did at Greenbrier. He damaged his putter after the front nine when he threw it to his caddie. As a result, he ended up making 3 birdie putts and 1 par putt with his sand wedge!

Check out this video to see to see him sink a 26 ft. putt with his sand wedge.

Putting Made Easy

If you're anything like me, you hit pretty well with the driver and irons...well, maybe just the irons, but you can't make a putt to save your life. Thankfully, there are people who are amazing at putting and have shared some valuable tips to help us not so good putters sink the putt.

Watch this video by Dave Stockton as he breaks down the correct steps to a putt, and teaches how to make putting like a pro a breeze! By the way, Dave is the guy who has worked with pro golfers like Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, and Justin Rose...just to name a few.

Can Spieth Make a Grand Slam?

All of the talk in golf these days seems to be about Jordan Spieth, and for good reason. There are very few people who have been able to win the first two major championships of the year. According to Neil Paine on fivethirtyeight.com,

"It’s only the fourth time since 1958¹ that the same player has won both of the year’s first two majors, and just the 13th time any player won back-to-back major titles."

With so few people accomplishing what Spieth has, it's no wonder that he's the talk of the town! Neil also shares a list of golfers who have accomplished this feat, but there is only one who has ever made a grand slam...Tiger.

So the real question is, "What are the odds that Spieth will make the grand slam?" According the Neil,

"After adjusting for the house edge built into betting odds, the sportsbook Bovada.lvassigns² McIlroy a 13 percent probability of winning the British Open and an 11 percent chance of winning the PGA Championship; the site gives Spieth a 9 percent shot at winning each tournament."

"No matter how you cut it, the odds of Spieth finishing off the Grand Slam are still fairly low — about 1 percent, if the probabilities above are any kind of guide."

 With McIlroy in the picture, as the number one golfer in the world, it's going to be quite a challenge for Spieth to pull off a grand slam. It sure would be cool to have someone up there with Tiger though!

Palmer, Nicklaus, Player, & Trevino to Build US Open Course

I don't know about you, but with names like Palmer, Nicklaus, Player, and Trevino building a golf course targeted at hosting a US Open, I can't expect anything short of amazing! Here is part of the article.

The Greenbrier owner Jim Justice has retained golf legends Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Lee Trevino to build a course in West Virginia meant to attract the state's first U.S. Open.

In the vein of Chambers Bay, which was designed with the U.S. Open in mind and with consultation from the USGA, Justice, who is also running for governor in West Virginia, aims to build a course near The Greenbrier property in the Allegheny mountains.

Ground is scheduled to be broken in the next 30 days with the intent of opening the course in Fall 2016.
