Eidolon Golf's Terry Koehler will be on Golf Smarter's podcast

VICTORIA, Texas -- Eidolon Golf President/Founder Terry Koehler will bring his short-game expertise to Golf Smarter's podcast, www.golfsmarter.com beginning on a weekly basis Wednesday, July 2. Koehler’s appearance on a Golf Smarter podcast in June was among the highest downloaded podcasts in show history.

Koehler will appear on Golf Smarter podcast each Wednesday with tips and ideas on the short game. Every other Wednesday visitors can send a question to Koehler at www.golfsmartertips.com. The visitor whose question is read on the podcast will receive an EIDOLON wedge of his or her choice.

“This is a great way to get listeners involved and get them critical information on the short game,” Koehler said. “Golfsmarter.com listeners are dedicated golfers who want the best advice in how to improve their games. That’s what I’m going to give them every Wednesday.’’

Koehler joins such golf industry luminaries as former U.S. Golf Association Technical Director Frank Thomas, two-time Masters Champion Phil Mickelson, and noted instructor Stan Cooke of World Woods Golf Club in Florida as a guest on the highest-rated golf show podcast in iTunes.

During the 30-minute program, Koehler will discuss such topics as the importance of custom-fit wedges and wedge shafts. Koehler also will share his highly-respected thoughts and tips on short game play and improvement.

The Golf Smarter podcast is produced and hosted by Fred Greene, President of Greene Creative Services a San Francisco Bay Area-based new media and communications agency. The weekly podcast can be heard or downloaded by visiting www.GolfSmarter.com.

EIDOLON GOLF continues to build a strong reputation for designing and crafting the finest wedges in golf. Its Money Back Guarantee return rate of less than one percent stands as proof that no other wedges on the market today can match the patented V-SOLE wedges' ball-stopping spin, extraordinary feel and versatile playability.

Koehler, a former director of marketing at the Ben Hogan Company and co-founder of Reid Lockhart Golf, founded EIDOLON GOLF in 2002 and introduced the EIDOLON Wedges with patented V-SOLE Technology in 2003. Since then the company has steadily grown to become a leader in the custom wedge marketplace, at retail and through sales from its Web site, www.eidolongolf.com. Koehler’s blog, www.thewedgeguy.com, has become one of the most popular golf blogs on the internet, as it is filled with practical advice and tips that lead to lower scores.

EIDOLON V-SOLE wedges provide shotmaking versatility not found in other wedges. With EIDOLON GOLF’S V-SOLE Technology, the leading edge of the wedge’s sole — about one-quarter of an inch — has an aggressive bounce (15 degrees on the 48-degree pitching wedge, 18 degrees on the 52-degree gap wedge, 30 degrees on the 56-degree wedge, and 25 degrees on the 60-degree wedge) that ensures that the leading edge never digs into the turf. The primary rear portion of the sole features minimal bounce — three degrees on the 48 pitching wedge and 52 gap wedge, seven degrees on the 56 mid-wedge and six degrees on the 60 lob wedge — for improved playability from tight lies.

In addition to its patented V-SOLE design, EIDOLON Golf painstakingly CNC-mills the face and every individual groove in each wedge, a revolutionary extra step that is a cut above most mass-produced wedges. This precision milling achieves nearly 100 percent of the groove specifications allowed by the USGA, as compared with as low as 60 to 70 percent of allowed groove volume common to standard production wedges.
