Choosing the Right Clubs
As you can imagine, purchasing the wrong golf clubs can be almost as bad for a golfer as purchasing

Just a few shots taken this morning at the PGA Pro Am in the fantastic surroundings of Galgorm Castle Golf Club. The sun was shining and the course was in great condition (speaking as a non golfer). I have just nipped back home to download all my cards and here is a very small selection of photographs from this morning. Over the next few days I will be uploading more from the actual Euro Pro tournament whiach starts tomorrow Wednesday 23rd June.
Oklahoma State golfer Victoria Park tees off from a shed atop the driving range at Karsten Creek Golf Club.
I woke up at 7:30 this morning and headed to what I argue is the most beautiful place in Stillwater and maybe the state.
Karsten Creek is a world-class golf course tucked in the woods.
This is the third time I’ve been to the course. The first time was for the Big 12 women’s golf tournament.
During the tournament a Kansas golfer was in the backswing of a shot from the fairway when two turkeys darted out right in front of her from the coppice.
Despite the frustrations of the golfer, it was hilarious.
Even better than the beauty of the place, is its serenity.
When I’m walking or carting around the greens, its impossible to have anything else on my mind.
When I leave Karsten Creek and get back on highway 51, it feels like I’m departing from a different country and heading back into the real world.
I’ll be headed back out soon. Expect another post detailing my love for the links.
P.S. Extras for Adam.

Does what it should

I am a golfer working on lowing my handicap (high teens currently) and purchased this as I have problems determining the depth of the pin on the greens as I play a variety of courses and they all have different flag theories on green locations and some of the courses do a good job on distance marks and others not so much. This rangefinder does exactly what it is supposed to do and with the “pinfinder” aid, it is very simple to use and gets me a very accurate reading very quickly.

The joys of the holiday season are upon us. With them come beautiful holiday feasts, enjoyable time spent with family and friends, and the perennial question: what do you get the golfer who has everything? Does the golfer on your list really need a new personalized, initialed golf shoe bag? Is he or she laying awake at night hoping someone will give the gift of an executive putter travel set? How many new sets of golf clubs can one golfer receive before the enthusiasm wanes? This year, perhaps the golfer who has everything would welcome the gift of improvement in the form of golf lessons.
California Golf School is a professional organization that offers Palm Springs golf lessons at Trilogy Golf Club. Set at the base of the beautiful Santa Rosa mountains, the Trilogy Golf Club course is the perfect setting for professional, patient golf lessons. Students of these small, three day classes can expect to receive thorough instruction on the fundamentals of golf and, with no more than four students per class, the personal attention of a professional golf instructor. Students also receive on-course instruction, swing improvements to practice after leaving the school, preparation and tips for self practice, and a video to review. Most importantly, students will walk away with a much better understanding of their own personal golf swing and how to improve by building on their strengths.
The founder and president of California Golf School, Bruce Baird, developed an innovative technique for instructing golfers on their swing. His technique involves the analysis and improvement of a golfers natural rhythm and swing, instead of trying to force a golfer to adapt to a textbook swing. It has been ten years since Mr. Baird developed and shared this short swing teaching technique with his instructors offering Palm Springs golf lessons. His team has since proven the effectiveness of this method many times over, as evidenced by the many success stories of their golfing students.
Well respected in the golf world for his golfing and teaching abilities, Bruce Baird developed his signature teaching method after observing that every golfer has a unique and personal style of swinging a golf club. Beyond the fundamentals of golf, each person evolves their skills according to their natural strengths, coordination and abilities. It is the goal of the professional instructors who teach Palm Springs golf lessons at Trilogy to build on each individuals strengths and make natural, remarkable improvements to a golfers swing.
Giving the gift of Palm Springs golf lessons is easy. California Golf School offers gift certificates starting at $275 and, especially for the holiday season, enrollment in a 3-day golf school for 25% off the regular price. The golfer on your list will appreciate the opportunity to spend more time practicing on a beautiful, sunny day on the links.
