Stop me if you’ve heard this before
There’s new equipment on the horizon
PING will be formally introducing the Glide 3.0 Wedges in July for early August release. Pictured is the updated version of the iconic Eye2 wedge that used to be available in a full set back in the 1980s. Famously, Phil Mickelson used one in a tournament and was the impetus that Roger Cleveland used to create Callaway’s PM wedge. “Rumor” has it that TaylorMade created the Hi-Toe as their answer to the Callaway offering. This is the design that started it all.
However, the 3.0s will also be available in traditional designs as well. Personally, I cannot wait!
Tips and tricks
Or real coaching?"I keep reading all the magazines that give tips and tricks to improve my game. I’ve tried many of them, but they really don’t last. Is there something I can do to make the tips last longer?" ~ C.Anything that you read or see needs to be put into practice often. However, tips and tricks are usually quick fixes. They’re there to get you out of trouble, in my opinion. I’ve used many of them in tough spots, but as soon as I was done, the tip was out of my head. I was left looking for another tip or searching for where I found the previous one. But I’ve discovered that true instruction is what sticks long term.
Individual lessons and packages are available at The Golf Station, and we’d be happy to get you on the path to long term success.
Putting problems?
Rick Wright is the best putting coach I’ve ever worked with.
There I said it. Rick is and has worked with Touring Professionals, and his approach is not only novel but basic. Professionals are using his tools to improve their putting. Our juniors who have taken lessons from him have benefitted from his instruction.
Moreover, selfishly, my three-putts are down dramatically, and it only took 45 minutes for me to get better and he didn’t have even his complement of training aids to include the Putting T-Bar to get the full impact of what he was doing. I told my son only a bit of what I was taught, and he started putting more putts around the hole. I’m sold and need another lesson soon.
If you want to get better, Rick is your guy. Period. If you’re ready for a putting lesson, give us a call in the store at 817.595.4653, and we’ll let Rick know, and we’ll work to schedule another event. |
