Ty Daniel’s Golf

A hearty congratulations to Bryan for a wonderful finish to a strong year on the Asian Golf Tour. At one off the lead going into the final day Bryan got a birdie on the first hole to take the lead. He never looked back from there finishing with a -17 for the four rounds for a 3 stroke win. On the 18th hole of the final day he had a 4 stroke lead.

Before signing his score card and accepting the trophy…

Saltus dove into the nearby water hazard to celebrate !

Jokes are just jokes so you can’t get offended. This golf joke was emailed to us, so we figured we should share it !

It is a really funny poke at Tiger !!

God asks Arnie first : "What do you believe ?"

Arnie thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says : "I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I believe in giving. I was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my fans."

God can't help but see the essential goodness of Palmer, and offers him a seat to his left.

Then God turns to Nicklaus and says : "What do you believe ?"

Jack says, "I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the fundamentals of life. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I've always tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing fields.'"

God is greatly moved by Jack's high-pitched eloquence, and he offers him a seat to his right.

Finally, God turns to Woods : "And you, Tiger, what do you believe ?"

Tiger replies : "I believe you're in my seat." :-p

Are reusable golf tees worth the extra money ? Or are they just a gimmick !

Compaired to "Old Reliable" the standard wooden golf tee that is a dime-a-dozen.

Above are three different types of reusable golf tees, ranging from the Brush Tee, Zero Friction Tee, and the newer Flexie-T.

We wanted to see how they compare to the standard wooden golf tee; in veristilaty, use, and reliablitly.

We took time to play with all of them and we have seen that there are differences. The tees biggest differences were in their versitility, not being able to accomidate for difference club head sizes, from irons and woods to drivers. Even though you can buy different size reuseable tees, it just means spending more money.

But, we also can't fully base our opinion on that only, so we are breaking it up in to two seperate results.

• Best over all tee - category covers all tee box situations irons, woods, hybrids, and drivers.
• Best driving tee - category is only covering driving tees. (coming soon)

Reusable Tees	Usability		Reliability		Versatility		Longevity
Zero Friction Tee
Brush Tees
Flexie-T Golf Tee
Wooden Tee

After everything

There are benifits form all the tees we reviewed here, and we do plan to review other reusable tees to compare to these as well. Some of the beifits include, more reliable tee heights, last much longers, and can limit the "fiction" of the ball leaving the tee.

We will be adding more tee reviews soon, make sure to keep checking back !

"You drive for show and putt for doe !" This just about covers it, just missing the fairway, ruff, and bunkers and water that make up the round. But the quickest way to lower your score is "lowering your putts".

Getting down to 2 putts max per green is key !

If you could only putt once each hole, well anyone would settle for that. It's the greens that end up with 3 or more putts that will keep you struggling to lower your handicap.

When you are practicing putting alone you can gain confidence with this tip, or even try to only use one ball, you might pay attention more and concentrate on each putt since you know you have to walk and get it.

But if you are practicing with others or at least one other person, you can try these three putting practice games.

1. Closest short to win : So you try and work on control of your distance and leave the ball short but still trying to be as close as possible.
2. Closest past to win : Again working on your control of the ball you want to pass the cup and leave it long, staying as close as you can.
3. Make the putt to win : Well this one is pretty obvious, just make the putt first to win, you can play "Best out of 5" and loser buys drinks or snacks
