Hand Grip

This post is not about using which type of grip for your golf swing or your putting grip. This grip is about sports equipment that is equivalent helpful for our game of golf. Perhaps most of you all have seen this and have use this golf.



As the picture above shows, it is just a simple item that probably you saw it not only in gym, perhaps in a lot of homes. A very portable tool to used. The reason why I post this up is because I have this tool back in 1998, when I started golf not long. But I didn't use it, it was my brother's self-exercising tool. It was up to recently when I found it nearby my bed frame, which is ten years since then, and I started gripping and thought it will be an exercise tool for me back in college. I brought this things back to my apartment and started exercising daily for doing 30 - 60 grips on both hands for 3 times a day (usually do it while relaxing from studies, or after school, or just merely studying and gripping it). I didn't know the results not until I recently went back to range to hit some balls, and I started to feel that my grip ain't that tense as like last time. I get to feel more in control of my clubs and of course, usually after a long break you wouldn't expect too much power when delivering a shot. I was truly wrong, I get to whack a ball far and yet it seems effortless. And as I'm a lefthanded, I have the problem of hooking, and I had great superhooks that I never tried before. WOW..remarkably, I took up my driver and give it a blow. Seriously, you just have to swing it like normal, and your arms will do all the workings. But there is warning signs, for guys and girls, using this tool you would make your arms bigger. It's not a bad thing for guys, for me especially, but girls might not prefer it. And you have to coordinate more of your power with your swing. It is not a superior tool but it is a complement tool for your games. So do try it and give it a try. go to any nearby local shops should probably get you with pretty cheap price.

Request

I've set up this blog for a purpose of sharing the golf and opinions from various people. However, recently due to pack in study schedule, I couldn't update just as much. But I'm back again and this time I will be happy if anyone could suggest more topics for me to elaborate more in this blogs. Especially comments and topics you wish that I can elaborate more for you all. I'm not out of topic, just that sometimes when things got caught up, you might be lost of ideas.hehe..

Tiger is Out because of Injury..

As to everyone's knowledge, Tiger Woods, the current World Number One golfer will probably be out of this season. This is because of having his knee injury up to 4 times in half of the season cause the upbeating best player in the world having to rest and recover his surgery recently. After missing his major for the first time, and this time missing twice the major..the World Number One said he will be starting his game back probably early next year..just wait for his latest news..hehe..all the best to the world number one..

Golf Swing..

In a game of golf, a swing is definitely very important. And of course I have once blogged bout this where I talk about each authentic swing that one might have. On the other hand, talking about this swing stuff, have you ever wonder why people say Tiger's swing is so nice? Of course this is normal, because all his fundamentals and body coordination is at one piece just like Tag Heuer watch. But do you know that in previous times, people mentioned about how pretty Niklaus and Player's swings are. I guess most of you all do not know this as when you pick up golf, is already in Tiger's era. Me too in Tiger Era but I like history a lot, so much just like liking golf history. Not to mention that those swings are not as nice as Tiger, but the word 'nice' in their context is the swing plane, the fundamentals and how complete they look in their swing. Authentically, perfectly and superbly just their swing. If you ever get to watch back all those past majors or History's swing, be sure to catch see how smooth they swing. The smoothness is that point that determine how nice their swing.
But not how your swing looks like Tiger or Adam Scott, is how your swing fit your body and how you swing it. That's the biggest difference and that difference is significance for your game.

Trevor Immelman - AUGUSTA 2008 WINNER!!

The every exciting competition in this season's first major tournament in Augusta last Sunday, saw the grueling and splendid performance of lots of stars. And stars definitely included Tiger Woods on the prowl for victory, but it doesn't come his way this week. And Tiger finished with a 5-under, 3 behind the champion of this year Augusta Winner. I won't disclose his name first..but just for you all to guess this young South African, Nike Sponsored stars. I have always like his mediocre short powered punch swing. And last few years when I'm still actively playing golf, I have always thought that this guy will stand a chance to excel better. Though he fumbled his career a little here and there, in European Tour, the name of TREVOR IMMELMAN had actually emerge in a couple of championship. And this time, Trevor Immelman once again proved that he is not gone, he is just waiting for the right chance, and seizing this GREEN JACKET proves everything he had work for, everything he had wanted for and everything his fans is waiting for. And with all due respect, I'll LIKE TO CONGRATULATE TREVOR FOR HIS WINNINGS. And he had a really very cute daughter..hihihihi..Hope he got a Cosy Green Jacket right on top of his body now..hihihi..

golf blog

A day to come back to blog, a day for an underdog who truly misses his way in golf to blog..and a day for history to turn back time. hehe..Sorry a thousand times that I have been truly busy with all the works here that I have now. It's not that I have no time to maintain this blog but I'm at the same time busy doing assignments and updating only one blog that is ~my life~. However, it is definitely fun to be busy in such stage that you will know what Uni life is all about. I truly got no time for golf definitely, but I did brought my golf set up here. hehe..To play some driving range which I recently found nearby my campus. But of course what I mean by nearby is 10 minutes drive. If you were to walk, probably I'll lose my belly in a month just to walk there and hit a bucket or two. How's everybody..nobody is reading my blog already I guess. hehe..Anyway, you all are free to ask or message me whenever you all wanted to. I'll be able to reply or write a post according through your request. Cause sometimes, I'll probably need some great ideas too to blog. Anyway, Augusta is coming on the way..let's wait for the excitement. How I wish I can watch live telecast here..hihihi

OMG!!!

Hehe..in fact if I lost the crowd of my blog readers, there is no surprise. Seriously, I nearly forget about this blog of mine. So sorry guys. And today I kinda think of it and in fact yes, there is the reader who post up to me saying..please update.

Hmm..I don't know how long will I take before I update my this blog again, because I'm now in my most hectic week ever. But I'll get back to you all ASAP. sigh..really sorry guys..

in fact I didn't update since Garcia lost his bout up until Tiger have won the PGA Championship. Congrats, Tiger. Anyway let me post up today entry with something about mental golf again.

And this is seriously very applicable to me right now because it's been like 2 months since I last went to the driving range as there is no range of golf courses around Cyberjaya. Even if there is any, I don't have any car to drive around to have a couple swing. That ain't important..today's entry will be all about players who still play golf, but really rare probably due to studies, laziness or whatsoever. And how mental affect the game.

Okay..Many of us sure have a period or time when you feel like just give up the game of golf and pursue on other sports or just sick of playing badly. If you ever think about it, all I can say is you are not a good golfer enough. And seriously, you are not a GREAT SPORTSMAN as well. I, however, hmmm..can't be consider as someone who give up golf. I still have the passion in golf, the enjoyment of playing and winning if possible and of course the challenges in golf that taught me so much things. I still enjoy reflecting on how last time I used to play golf. I'm still keen on playing golf but then when go back to my hometown, I rather stay at home and relax. Not a good sign but definitely, I'll touch back all my stuff when I'm working next time. Study in University now, hmmm..really don't give those ample time to think about golf. hihi..

Alright, let's put it this way. You have been absent in golf for months and feeling wanto get back to the game. You feel like brushing up your game by going to driving range first. You think overnight to plan how you want to be a golf enthusiast again. But when it comes to the time like 4pm for you to go to the range, you are too tired to do it. What I can say is, flap your butt, get your set and HALLELUJAH..driving range, here we go. The first step of trying to go to the range is important, as it builds something in your brain that I want to pursue something. And in range, don't force yourself. Try to get back our swing and swing comfortably. A lot of players who return to the game will find it even more discouraging are mostly because of their high-expectation to play well. That shouldn't be the case, as we should know that humans ain't perfect and definitely, we have very very rough edges around here and there. So just be patience and you don't have to whack 200 balls just because you think it can helps you get back to your performance..NO!!! Hit sufficient balls like 100 probably, just to get your routine started. If you feel like you want to achieve more, then go ahead with 50 balls stacking up. Don't just go there and hit a ball blindly. I once read from Tiger's book of How I Play Golf..that Tiger mentioned that 'one of his most effective training may only require him to hit 20 golf balls'. What he is stressing on is about the QUALITY..not the quantity. So for people like me who nearly lost touch in golf, we should learn to train more quality short than hitting so much that turns out no results. Be patience in golf, and let the time do the job..
