My first investment other than balls, the odd wedge and a driver upgrade from time to time was a pull cart. I was tired of carrying my bag all over so I decided I needed to get a pull cart. Over the last 5 years I have not really invested in my game with the exception of the GPS which shaved strokes off my game. The guess work is gone, and it is like having a caddie in your back pocket.

If you are looking to purchase a Golf GPS you will be astonished at the number of choices you are faced with. The end result is the same in that you want to know how far you are from say the green. Not all Golf GPS units are the same however. Some offer the basics with regard to distance only; others have all the bells and whistles. By that I mean you can see what the slopes are, you can see where the flag is placed, and you can mark off hazards and hot spots where you want to put your ball.

There are a number of products on the market the most popular being Bushnell, Callaway has a nice line of Golf GPS, Garmin, Golf buddy, and IZZO also are popular. Skycaddie as well Skygolf have software that works well on a hand held device such as your iPhone, Blackberry etc. For me I went with the Callaway uPro MX, paid just around $200 for it and I am very happy with it. Came preloaded with over 25,000 courses, has hi resolution views, aerial layout of the entire hole with easy navigation to bring in specific areas of the hole, green etc. As I mentioned I have only had this for one year, but it has changed the way I play golf. It’s likely outdated this year with all of the new models hitting the market. I’ve actually heard that Callaway has recalled many of these based on poor performance. To date I am happy with mine.  If you don’t have a Golf GPS we will be discussing some of the best Golf GPS units on the market for 2012.

The SkyCaddie SGX also provides distances to hazards, how far you need to carry the hazard as well layup distances. Once you’re set up you can also maintain your scores and stat track your rounds as you progress through the season.

Overall the Skycaddie SGX has everything you need. The positives far outweigh the negatives. The only real negatives that I have are the upfront cost. $3-400, and the fact that you also need have a subscription to their server. These costs range from $25-$50 per year. The price variance is dependant on what options you choose. Overall most golfers have not taken on the technology options that are available. When you think about it, if you can hit the ball to any course marker such as the 200, 150 100 yard marker, you pretty much know what club you have in your bag that is going to get you there. Having the GPS in hand will provide you with precise numbers but are you really that good that a yard or two will make a difference? Most of us aren’t so you need to weigh your options. The cost plus membership would pay for a number of rounds throughout your season. Purchasing a golf GPS is a personal choice.  The Skycaddie SGX has everything you would want in a Golf GPS unit.

How am I going to carry so many golf clubs while playing on the ground? Yes, this is where you need to understand the importance of golf bags! Without golf bags, it would be very difficult to play and enjoy your favourite game of golf. In a golf game there are around nine or more holes and you can’t handle all golf clubs without a bag while moving around in the golf ground. Almost every golfer knows the importance of golf bags and chooses them very cautiously.

Which golf bag would suit me the most? This is another question that is very important and should be thought about carefully. Firstly, you need to ascertain your requirements and style of playing. If you are golf pro and use caddy services in the golf ground then you can opt for a golf staff bag. These golf bags are one of the largest available in the market and can guarantee you to carry all golf stuff you can imagine. You wouldn’t have to look back for any stuff with these professional golf bags!

If you are a novice or an occasional player who loves to carry his or her own stuff, then you may opt for a golf stand bag which comes with retractable legs that would keep the bag upright when you are not carrying it. These bags have comparatively less space and pockets. Do remember to check that it has a durable and comfortable strap to carry golf bag on shoulders. Off course, you might choose to carry it yourself!

Another type of golf bags that are available are typically designed to be used with a electric golf trolley. It’s bigger than the golf stand bags but a little smaller than professional golf bags. These bags have enough space to accommodate most of the golf equipment and supplies. Such bags are the best choice if you have decided not to carry your golf bag on shoulders!

So, what are you waiting for! Choose the one that suits you the best and go on!

It’s not only the quality and durability of the golf club that matters; you also need to ascertain if it suits your physique well. One fact that you shouldn’t ignore while purchasing a golf club is that it should have proper height and weight as per your body structure. There’s no point purchasing an expensive golf club that’s longer and heavier than you can hold or lift. Golf club length would determine whether you are able to easily move your body while striking the ball and take that perfect swing!

Another fact that you should not overlook is the grip size and fitting. If you can grip a golf club properly, then you will surely be able to take great shots and won’t do that obvious mistake of yours. Shaft in golf clubs is extremely significant when we talk of the type of shot you would want to play. The material and design of shaft and the way it connects to the golf head could be determining factor in how well the golf club might work for you. Make sure that the one you purchase suits your requirements the most!

Even if you have to shell out some extra dollars for the golf club that meets your requirements, then you should go for it. In the long run, it would help you improve your game and enjoy even more. You may even try out various golf clubs at your nearest store or check them online on websites.

So, next time when you plan to purchase any golf equipment for yourself make sure that it fits in well!

The looks and aesthetics are appealing .Speedline Fast 10 fairway woods can be the choice of any golfer ranging from a novice to an experienced player. An increase of 57% in the sole camber helps to promote consistency in ball striking from all lies. Moreover the speedline clubs come with two options: One is Aldila Wasabi for mid-high launch and other is Matrix HD for mid-low launch. These clubs are one of the easiest and longest and can be a good choice if you are looking forward to buy some new golf equipment.

The Wilson Staff Shockwave: This is a high performance driver; the lightest ever produced by Wilson and is specifically designed for golfers who wish to bring greater swing speed in their game. This speed is then well translated into more powerful hits which in turn help in covering large distances. Shockwave can be put in the ultra-lightweight category. Weighing just 265 grams, it is 10 % lighter than standard drivers commonly available. As known to every golfer, lighter equipment leads to an increase in swing speed and helps in hitting the ball far and straight. Each gram of weight in Shock wave is said to be scrutinized specifically to improve the design, by the designers of Wilson Staff. The thickness of clubhead walls is less than other clubs and minor details like paints and unessential designing has been done in such a way, so as to keep the weight minimum. Though, ultra light shaft weighing only 50 grams is the most unique feature of this club. The low density compounds included in this club create a grip 8 gram lighter than other shaft grips.

The tungsten screw is designed to promote a better and higher flight of ball and pulls weight deep into the head. People with some technical knowledge about the sport will understand how this helps in maintaining the moment of inertia which in turn keeps the clubhead stable when the impact is made. Hence in spite of the light weight of Wilson Staff Shockwave, it is a driver which can give a strong competition to its other heavyweight, high impact rivals.

To list a few uses of these aids, the ball retrievers are a kind of telescopic poles that with some sort of a device at the end. They are used to scoop up or trap golf balls, especially from a water hazard.

Rangefinders are incredible devices that help a golfer to find his or her exact distance from the hole. They are common in recreational golf but are illegal in tournaments. A typical rangefinder is an optical device that uses a complicated process to estimate the distance. It uses a calibrated focus control where the user sights the target, brings it into focus, and reads the distance mark on the focus control. Latest rangefinders operate by focusing on any target and then pressing a switch to obtain a very precise distance reading via radar. Also, newer golf carts include a GPS tracking device which in combination with an electronic map of the golf course, serves a similar function.

Stroke counters are literally counters which keep a track of the number of strokes a player has played. They can be used for counting them in a hole or an entire round, or both. The simplest ones are known as thumbwheels or “clickers” in which a player advances the wheel by one after every stroke. It provides the total number of strokes for scorecard after each hole. Latest and advanced variations, called as electronic scorecards, have various degrees of computational power added and can keep score for multiple holes, total scores, and keep track of over/under par statistics.

Positional guides help in improving a golfer’s stance or swing. A few lasers are attached to the shaft of putter which projects a “putting line” onto the ground. Also, specialized tapes are attached to the club head which provide information about how the head is hitting the ground or the ball. This is helpful for future correction or club adjustment. They are also illegal in competitions.

A proper attire enables a player to feel more comfortable both weather and adjustment-to-stroke-wise. A ball washer, as its name says is used to clean golf balls. Special care needs to be taken while using these aids because a few of them are illegal for competitions but are invaluable in practice sessions.
