Golf for beginners 01-29-06 episode twelve continues with our hole-in-one series as we discuss golfblogger.com’s recent 140 yard, par-3 drop-in. No one was there to see it, he was not keeping score and it happened in the off-season. Does it count? We also like to watch the Golf Channel’s latest series of shows. The Daly Show is one of our favorites due to Big John’s lovable and zany attitude about the world and his position in it. Big Break V: Hawaii has some pretty big shoes to fill. Big Break III was loaded with catfights and memorable moments thanks to Danielle ...

Hello golfers. My husband Barry went through a big selection process in order to find the driver of his dreams so I asked him how he finally selected the TaylorMade R5 Driver and if he would share it with our audience. It was harrowing, what with the huge selection of drivers, offsets, shafts and all the salespeople that are intent upon selling you golf clubs TODAY! We hope this might help those of you who are a little intimidated by going shopping a few times and picking the brains of the sales staff at your local store but I promise, when ...

Golf for Beginners Episode Eleven discusses everything from Barry’s win against his playing partners to exercises that you can do during the week to be prepared for a Saturday round of golf. Golf Blogger’s Weekly discusses ABC Television’s decision to pull out of hosting weekend golf. We also talk about the antics of Nick Faldo and Donald Trump’s new golf course at Rancho Palo Verdes. This public course has it all from 25-foot waterfalls that have become a signature on his courses to hefty greens fees ranging from $145 to $300! Barry has a hard time swallowing that one! Email has ...

My new Titleist 905T Driver plays a starring role in my Burton golf bag. Okay, I love all of my Titleist golf clubs! In addition to my new set of Titleist 904F Fairway woods (you know, the woods I vowed never to part with) I also received a brand new Pro Titanium Titleist 905T driver. Ernie Els used to own it but he is now trying the Pro Titanium 905R 460cc prototype driver but with the same loft (9.5) as mine. At least his shaft is the same design as mine…the Titleist Speeder by Fujikura. But just look at that picture ...

Feeling a bit rusty after the off-season? I hope these tips will help you through the early part of the season. How many times have you watched a golf tournament to find a pro under the trees after a wayward tee shot? The trouble golfers have with this particular low trajectory shot is that they try too much to hit the golf ball into the air when they should focus their attention on getting the shot safely out of danger. Remember these few suggestions when attempting this shot and you will get back into the fairway and save strokes too! 1. Choose the ...

In Golf for beginners 01-08-06 episode nine we blog about the best way to practice at the driving range, talk a little about Lucas Glovers’ hole-in-one at the 2006 Mercedes Championships and ask a couple of poll questions from our listeners. For example, please respond to the following for our next GFB podcast: Have you ever gotten a hole-in-one? If so, please either post it here and tell us the details or send it to our golfforbeginners@aol.com email address. We will put your name and club on the internet for all of our listeners to hear! Our second poll question is: What is ...

“My new Titleist 904F Fairway Woods are tee-rific!” Their official name is the Pro Trajectory Titleist 904F Fairway Woods. I got mine with the YS-6 graphite shafts which are stock shafts. You can also select the Dynamic Gold S300 and the Titleist Speeder Fairway which are also stock or the several other custom shafts but the Y-6 is nice because of it’s balance of stiffness with just the right amount of “give". I seem to always hit them directly on their sweet spot. It’s almost like getting an unfair advantage when using these golf clubs on the course. I visited Titleist’s ...
