Which Golf Grips Golfers Should Consider?

However, that is not the entire story. There are more reasons for you to consider using them and a few reasons you should not use them. Let’s take a closer look.

One of the axioms for gripping is — don’t put a “death grip” on the club with your hands. A tight grip with the hands causes tension in both the hands and forearms. Tension impedes a nice relaxed swing with discount golf clubs and can prevent you from making good contact with the ball. We don’t need any of that.

One reason people grip a club too tightly is that their grip size is too small for their hands. A grip that is too small makes a golfer feel like they could lose control of the club if they don’t grip it tighter. If that is you, you might be a candidate to consider larger grips, including jumbos.

There’s more reasons to consider jumbos. As golfers age, many can get some arthritis in their hands or just the fingers. If so, the hands and fingers have trouble closing on average or standard size grips. It can be painful.

Larger grips allow good contact with the club, but the hands/fingers don’t have to close down and can be slightly more open during the swing. If your hands aren’t hurting, a nice relaxed swing is more likely.

One more consideration. Going to jumbo grips is not without consequences. In general, the size of your grip can affect your golf shots (discount golf) and how you strike the ball.

In sports that require participants to hold an object in the hands, (tennis, golf, hockey, baseball, etc.) it is well known that grip size matters. A smaller grip size tends to promote good hand and wrist action. To the contrary, larger sizes tend to inhibit wrist action.

In golf, if you inhibit your hand and wrist action during the swing, you could find any number of problems to overcome. One problem is that the club is not released very well at the ball. The result may be a weak shot or an open clubface that can produce a slice. Not good!

So, before you run out and get your clubs re-gripped with jumbos, think about what you are doing. Jumbo grips are a natural for golfers with large hands, of course.

Golf Club with Explosive Head


The primer faces the ball and upon impact the ball ignites the explosive cartridge secured in the club head, sending the ball into orbit. I’d buy it if the price was right.

The Dad Saddle

Life Expectancy Watch

With the buttons on the face, you can set the functions of the watch according to your age, lifestyle, weight, and bad habits which in turn give you a count down to your own funeral. I’d buy it if it came in black, and the price was right.

Shin Skis, or Shkeez

It’s the new Skiboards!

First post from Fynn Valley

Welcome to Fynn Valley Golf Club’s blog.

As this is our first entry, you may have to bear with us . . . as newbies to this, we may make some errors!

We thought a blog would be a great way to keep the World up to date with the comings and goings, triumphs and tribulations, and general snippets of information about our Club.

My pondering for this post . . . .

Last week I read in an article that golf clubs should consider themselves part of the Entertainment Industry. I can’t say I agree entirely, but I suppose the underlying message was that customer service and providing an enjoyable experience to all should be our main focus. There is no doubt the golf industry is currently experiencing some testing times, and improving accessibility and an alteration of the sport’s image away from that of the somewhat traditional, staid, male-orientated one can only be of benefit.

What do you think? Are we here purely for entertainment? Do we need to up our game?

Discount Golf Clubs From Used Sale Auction

Buying Discount golf clubs is better if you are a starter or someone who does not get to play golf often. As a professional golf player you can really invest in good branded golf clubs as they are sure they will be playing very often and they know the game so there is very little chance to cause damage to the golf club while playing. On the other hand if you are learning golf and are just a starter you don’t know whether you will like the game and continue to play and also you still are not proficient in using the golf clubs so you could damage the golf club while playing. So instead of spending a fortune in buying golf clubs it’s better to go for Discount golf clubs.

There are branded golf clubs that are sold at discount and that could be one of your options or there are branded used golf clubs that are sold at a discount. Buying Discount golf club first hand is a good deal but such deals are always not there. There are some websites who give you good deals of used golf clubs. Buying used discount golf club you need to keep certain tips in mind so you don’t end up with a very bad and worn out golf club, which would mean you have paid for something you cannot use. Paying for a bad used golf club is like just throwing away your hard earned money.

The Thing that you can look for while buying used golf club

1. Check the Club heads if the club is used for long time then it will have a shiny worn spot right in the centre; you don’t want these as clubface will not hold the ball as well.

2. Check the shaft that is of graphite doesn’t have worn areas or indentations which could cause weakness. For steel shaft you need to check if they are not bent back into shape.

3. Check the grip for cracks, splits, and worn areas. If you have to re-grip immediately then you are only adding to your cost.

4. Check current price for new clubs of the same model.

5. Play a few shots outside to get a demo of the golf club to tell how well the club will perform.

Director of First Impressions

“Director of First Impressions” is the title now given to many receptionists or front desk personnel. But did anyone mention that the goal is to have a good first impression?

I laugh because I was visiting my local private city club for lunch the other day and the young ladies behind the front desk seemed less than enthused about their job on that particular afternoon. I hadn’t been to the club in awhile and so I presented my membership card upon arrival to make the greeting less uncomfortable for them. (I have worked in the private club industry for eleven years and always hated asking members for their names. I always felt it was part of my job to know their names. In fact, prior to club events my colleges often found me flipping through the photo directory matching up the faces of members with the reservation sheet so I was prepared to greet them by name. This was always much appreciated by the member.)

When I arrived, the club was not busy being as it was after the lunch hour. I took a seat in the bar area just 20 feet away from the front desk. When the server finally made his way over to me he had to ask for my member number. I thought to myself…being as the young gal sitting behind the desk had nothing else to do, shouldn’t she have gotten up and walked the ten feet over to the bar to let the server know what my name and member number were so he could greet me by name? It didn’t even cross her mind. Instead, she sat there with the other young lady and a gentelmen from the dining room (all employees) deeply embedded in some personal conversation.

Nice first impression.

On my way out I noticed her placard emblazoned with her title on it and I commented, “Director of First Impression, what a title!”

She didn’t even smile.

Ha! I thought to myself. Someone forgot to mention that she was expected to make a good first impression. I meant to send the General Manager a note about this experience. I shall do so this afternoon….

Don’t feel bad local city club, its the first impression that I believe most clubs fail at. I phoned a professional acquaintance of mine just yesterday to discuss business at his golf club. I wanted to offer my services as I heard they were down nearly 15% for the year and perhaps needed some help with generating new memberships.

The voice that came over the phone when it was answered on their end was less than enthusiastic. She must have been having a bad day. She seemed irritated and was short with me. Hmmm…could her attitude be making a difference in member recruitment and satisfaction? May sound simplistic, but I do believe it could have something to do with it, even on a micro scale.

Let me offer you the opposite end of the scale…

A beautiful high end private club in Gladstone, New Jersey. When you call their club you get no recording, no auto teller, just a friendly voice on the other end of the line that answers with, “Good Afternoon, Thank you for calling X Golf Club, this is Melissa, I can help you.” Her tone is welcoming, friendly, upbeat and ready to help with whatever request I might have. Simplistic? Perhaps. Impactful? Most definitely.

Looking to grow your dues line? Trying to stop the bleeding of member attrition? Start with an unbiased critique of your ‘Director of First Impression’. For a lot of clubs, the person in that role has been there for years and knows the members names well, but are they making a positive impact on the daily visit to the club for both members and guests alike? Are they courteous over the phone? Do they represent your organization in a positive light to prospective candidates for employment? If not, I’m not saying ‘fire them’ just find another position for them.

At the end of the day, the success of this position is just as much about personality as it is about training.  So be sure you have the right individual in the position and then train them on the importance of their role within the organization.

The Ping Golf Club

Yet another advanced mobility for the ping golf club seemed to be the applying involving investment sending your line within the make with the Nited kingdom Series Irons. Karsten Solheim seemed to be the main one who created the ping golf club by using different motives.
