<p>Is The Simple Golf Swing a Scam? Will it help you<br />
dramatically improve your golf game? Discover the truth in<br />
this Simple Golf Swing review!</p>
<p>The author and instructor of The Simple Golf Swing is David<br />
Nevogt. David claims that his hot selling e-course is<br />
guaranteed to help you become a better golfer or your money<br />
back. In fact, it is not uncommon for golfers to shave of<br />
6-7 strokes off their game after taking this course, and in<br />
my opinion that is huge!</p>
<p>Nevogt reports that his course has already helped over<br />
16,000 golfers in over 30 countries since its release 3<br />
years ago. The Simple Golf Swing website is full of customer<br />
testimonials from golfers that he has already helped.</p>
<p>So what exactly can you expect from The Simple Golf Swing?<br />
Well it will help to improve your game through a series of<br />
exercises that start from the basics of how to properly grip<br />
your club, right up to more advanced techniques such as his<br />
revolutionary method of rotating around your spine to hit<br />
straight and consistent shots every time.</p>
<p>The e-course includes DVD clips, practice drills, work<br />
sheets and assignments. You also get access to the private<br />
members only forum where David Nevogt can help you solve any<br />
problems that you might be experiencing. There are people of<br />
all different skill levels on the forum and it is very<br />
helpful place to hangout, chat, and exchange golf tips.  You<br />
will also get inside reviews on which golfing aids actually<br />
work and which ones are just pure scams. If you&#8217;re an<br />
accessory junkie like me, then this will save you lots of<br />
money right away!</p>
<p>Another included feature which I like is the break down<br />
sessions.  Slowed down video and pictures are used to<br />
completely break down the swing you are learning so you can<br />
fully understand the mechanics before heading to the range<br />
and practicing yourself.</p>
<p>Think about all the money you save too, it&#8217;s not uncommon to<br />
pay $75-$85 per hour for other lessons which don&#8217;t guarantee<br />
your money back if you&#8217;re not satisfied, or if your golf<br />
game doesn&#8217;t improve.</p>
<p>The Simple Golf Swing is proven to work and has already<br />
helped thousands! If you are ready to take the next step to<br />
improving your game I highly recommend you check out my<br />
Simple Golf Swing Review for more information on David<br />
Nevogt&#8217;s revolutionary system.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mastering The Proper Golf Swing The Easy Way</p>
<p>Did you know the average golfer&#8217;s gross score is 107 shots?<br />
You may receive all the greatest golf tips in the world,<br />
take countless lessons and get superior instruction and<br />
still may not be able to gain consistency. Even the guys who<br />
play golf for a living and get the best golf instruction in<br />
the world still struggle to improve their golf; and they<br />
practice each and every day!</p>
<p>Visualize where you would like the ball to land, as you<br />
swing. Keep the good energy flowing and don&#8217;t give in to any<br />
negative thoughts. A common mental error golfers make when<br />
driving the ball is to hit it as hard as possible.</p>
<p>Putting can become a nightmare and a condition called the<br />
&#8216;yips&#8217; has affected not only amateurs but professionals as<br />
well; get expert advice and consider a golf swing aid. Use<br />
the basic &#8216;hitchhiker&#8217; position when you&#8217;re working on your<br />
backswing. Before you swing, make sure you&#8217;re relaxed;<br />
contract all your muscles tightly for a moment and then<br />
relax them.</p>
<p>Swing slowly and steadily using a nice rhythm. After the<br />
ball is hit, the follow-through stage consists of a<br />
continued rotation to the left. Pick out a spot on the<br />
course, preferably the green of the fairway, and concentrate<br />
on hitting the ball to that spot.</p>
<p>The backswing is a rotation to the right, consisting of a<br />
shifting of the player&#8217;s body weight to the right side, a<br />
turning of the pelvis and shoulders, lifting of the arms and<br />
flexing of the elbows and wrists. As the body matures, the<br />
ability to rotate the upper torso is affected by age, and<br />
the hand action can also slow down requiring a slightly<br />
stronger grip.</p>
<p>Ask your golf pro to evaluate your posture while swinging.<br />
Try not to grip the club too tightly. Use the muscles in<br />
your legs and trunk when you swing.</p>
<p>Conditioning your golf muscles will reward you with<br />
straighter swings. Many golfers have improved their golf<br />
game by concentrating on golf fitness. Using a weighted<br />
club, make rotational golf swings to improve your power.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re a seasoned golfer or just starting out, pick<br />
just one golf swing aid and go to work on your swing. There<br />
are golf swing aids that will help you with swing alignment.<br />
Keep in mind that with some golf swing aids, you may still<br />
need advice or help from an expert.</p>
<p>Golf swing aids come in all shapes and sizes including<br />
apparel type accessories to correct alignment or a golf club<br />
add-on accessory to monitor your swing. If you&#8217;re looking<br />
for an aid to improve your stance they&#8217;re not hard to find.<br />
Golf magazines often review the newest golf swing aids and<br />
are reviewed by golfers, making it easy to choose the right<br />
one for you.</p>
<p>You can find golf swing aids that will help you with your<br />
wrist and arm position. There are a wide range of golf swing<br />
aids on the market today to help the beginning and advanced<br />
golfer. If you&#8217;re a golfing novice just starting out, it&#8217;s<br />
easy to become overwhelmed.</p>
<p>There are a number of good golf swing aids on the market<br />
today. Before buying any golf swing aid, check with an<br />
expert to get an idea of what problem you need to work on<br />
first; backlift of golf swing, momentum of downward thrust,<br />
or stance for example.</p>
<p>Golfers can never get enough golf tips. Invest in a few of<br />
the newest golf books and golf ebooks; older golf books may<br />
be outdated. There are hundreds of useful golf tips to seek<br />
out in golf magazines, consumer magazines, sports magazines,<br />
in books, ebooks, DVDs, online and offline.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Golf Swing Improvement Now</p>
<p>As you probably know, you need great hand-eye coordination,<br />
balance, athletic ability and creativity to play golf. The<br />
biggest concerns of golfers today are inconsistency first of<br />
all, followed by slicing and distance. Many golfers play<br />
golf just to hack around and have some fun; more avid<br />
players are always looking for ways to improve their golf<br />
swing and their overall game.</p>
<p>Keep the good energy flowing and don&#8217;t give in to any<br />
negative thoughts. Concentrate totally on your game and<br />
you&#8217;ll get the best score. Always be aware the mental aspect<br />
of the game contributes one way or another to the difficulty<br />
of the golf swing.</p>
<p>The backswing is a rotation to the right, consisting of a<br />
shifting of the player&#8217;s body weight to the right side, a<br />
turning of the pelvis and shoulders, lifting of the arms and<br />
flexing of the elbows and wrists. Use the basic &#8216;hitchhiker&#8217;<br />
position when you&#8217;re working on your backswing. One of the<br />
problems that most inexperienced golfers share is they think<br />
too much about their swing.</p>
<p>Try not to grip the club too tightly. Trust your golf club<br />
to do the job it was intended to do. After the ball is hit,<br />
the follow-through stage consists of a continued rotation to<br />
the left.</p>
<p>Sidespin occurs when the clubface is not aligned<br />
perpendicularly to the plane of swing. At the end of a<br />
swing, the weight has shifted almost entirely to the left<br />
foot, the body is fully turned to the left and the hands are<br />
above the left shoulder with the club hanging down over the<br />
players&#8217; back. Standing over the ball for too long a time<br />
and wondering whether you&#8217;re going to swing the club<br />
correctly can easily result in a skewed shot, or completely<br />
missing the ball.</p>
<p>Make sure to use the proper technique. At the end of a<br />
backswing the hands are above the right shoulder, with the<br />
golf club pointing more or less in the intended direction of<br />
ball flight.</p>
<p>To prevent injury and improve swing speed and distance<br />
requires your body to be both strong and flexible. Most<br />
golfers don&#8217;t know there are techniques that will greatly<br />
affect swing mechanics; you can get an edge by just changing<br />
your approach. Using some simple tips, techniques and<br />
stretches, you can increase your drives by up to 20 yards&#8211;<br />
practically overnight.</p>
<p>There are golf swing aids that will help you with swing<br />
alignment. Golf magazines often review the newest golf swing<br />
aids and are reviewed by golfers, making it easy to choose<br />
the right one for you. Look for golf swing aids at your<br />
local golf course.</p>
<p>There are a wide range of golf swing aids on the market<br />
today to help the beginning and advanced golfer. You can<br />
find golf swing aids that will help you with your wrist and<br />
arm position. If you&#8217;re looking for an aid to improve your<br />
stance they&#8217;re not hard to find.</p>
<p>Be careful about the claims on TV commercials and magazine<br />
ads; seek expert advice before you buy because they may not<br />
live up to their claims. Golf aids are often for sale at<br />
your pro shop or local golf shop. Make sure to look for<br />
reviews and ratings online for any golf swing aid you&#8217;re<br />
considering.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a golfing novice just starting out, it&#8217;s easy to<br />
become overwhelmed. Keep in mind that with some golf swing<br />
aids, you may still need advice or help from an expert. If<br />
you apply both physical and mental workouts, golf swing<br />
improvement will be your reward. Invest in a few of the<br />
newest golf books and golf ebooks; older golf books may be<br />
outdated. If possible, just try to relax and enjoy your<br />
game.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Playing Golf With Arthritis </p>
<p>If you suffer from arthritis, there is great news for you!  You do not have to quit playing golf.  Actually, golf can help improve the symptoms of golf and add strength and mobility!  </p>
<p>Exercise has been found to be one of the best ways to treat osteoarthritis.  Exercise can help your mood, act as a pain reliever, increase your flexibility, help you to maintain your weight, improve your cardiovascular system, and make you generally healthier!  </p>
<p>Osteoarthritis normally comes on very gradually.  First, joints may be sore after working hard physically or exercising.  Any joint may be affected by osteoarthritis, but it usually occurs in the hands, hips, knees, or spine.  </p>
<p>Yes.  All of the areas that osteoarthritis usually affects are used in playing golf.  </p>
<p>Don?t let it worry you though.  Playing golf can also help increase your balance and your range of motion.  If you walk the golf course, you will benefit your health even more!  That is why golf is one of the exercises that is recommended for someone with osteoarthritis!  </p>
<p>Here is what you need to remember ? there are many special products that are produced just to make golf easier on your joints and body.  </p>
<p>The Arthritis Foundation or arthritis.org has some tips for arthritic golfers that can help you enjoy golfing and they even suggest products that can enable you to enjoy it even more!  </p>
<p>Wrist braces and gloves are a great tool to wear when you play golf.  Stabilizing the joints in your hands and wrists will help your osteoarthritis and both of these items are not very expensive.  </p>
<p>A lower compression ball is also a great training aid.  </p>
<p>Wearing spikeless golf shoes may be much more comfortable for you.  </p>
<p>Ask your local golf store associate or golf pro if there are any products that they recommend to make golf easier on your joints.  There are new products introduced all the time.  </p>
<p>It is very important to always warm up before you play golf.  Stretch your muscles and swing a few times for practice.  Swing half-strength at first and don?t try to hit the ball too hard.  Everyone should warm up and start swinging slowly.  A hard swing is not necessary, it is accuracy that is most important!  </p>
<p>Use tees when you play golf.  It will help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding An Affordable Golf Equipment Supply Store</p>
<p>Like almost any sport, if you have the best equipment then<br />
you have a good chance of being better at the sport than if<br />
you had poor equipment. This can easily be said for golf. If<br />
you have the best golf equipment, the best golf clubs, then<br />
you will most likely be able to play better. But for many<br />
people, money plays a major part in the type of golf<br />
equipment they can afford. So how can you find an affordable<br />
golf equipment supply store and buy your clubs for less<br />
money that high street stores?</p>
<p>Well, the advancement of technology has given us the perfect<br />
place to find all the golf equipment you need, without<br />
having to pay a fortune. Yes, we are talking about internet.<br />
Almost all major golf stores and golf suppliers have their<br />
own websites. The prices at these websites are always<br />
dramatically lower than you will find in your local golf<br />
store. This is because there is no middle man putting up the<br />
prices to keep for themselves. That&#8217;s why you can save a lot<br />
of money by going direct to the supplier.</p>
<p>The other major place to find affordable golf equipment is<br />
to use the popular auction websites, such as ebay. This is a<br />
great place to find not only second hand golf equipment but<br />
also brand new equipment too. In fact, many of the major<br />
retailers and suppliers will have their own ebay store. I<br />
bet you didn&#8217;t even know that did you? Just go and have a<br />
quick browse online and you will clearly see that there are<br />
huge savings to be made.</p>
<p>The main thing when looking for affordable golf equipment is<br />
to always do your research first. See how much an item is<br />
selling for in the local store, then look online and see how<br />
much you can save. It is almost guaranteed that you will be<br />
buying almost all your golf equipment online from now on!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How To Achieve A Full Golf Swing</p>
<p>A full golf swing is the desire of every golfer. You know that a full golf swing is needed to produce maximum clubhead speed and ultimately distance&#8230;but do you know how to accomplish it effectively? You&#8217;ve probably heard your golf teaching pro say, &#8220;you&#8217;re not getting a full golf swing&#8221;, but has he told you how to get it? It&#8217;s easy to analyze, but much harder to come up with a solution&#8230;until now.</p>
<p>You see&#8230;a full golf swing is impossible to achieve if you do not have a higher level of golf-specific strength and flexibility. Let me say that one more time.</p>
<p>&#8220;A full golf swing is impossible to achieve if you do not have a higher level of golf specific strength and flexibility&#8221;.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at these so-called &#8220;requirements&#8221;, for you to see I&#8217;m not just blowing smoke.</p>
<p>A full golf swing is considered a 90 degree shoulder turn, with a 45 degree hip turn. This is what we read in all the analysis&#8217; of the golf swing.</p>
<p>Achieving the above physical components in your golf posture proves almost impossible for the senior golfer who has declining physical abilities.</p>
<p>Are you in this category?</p>
<p>Are you a 50-70 year old golfer who has lost a ton of yards off the tee and watched your scores get higher and higher?</p>
<p>If so, don&#8217;t you think if you did a simple, &#8220;in-home&#8221; golf performance program you&#8217;d see dramatic improvements in your body&#8217;s ability to make a bigger, even &#8220;full golf swing&#8221;?</p>
<p>To achieve this doesn&#8217;t mean hitting more balls at the range or taking more lessons. In fact, you can eliminate hitting balls altogether for a short time while you get your body back in tip-top shape.</p>
<p>When you do, the next time you go out to practice or play, you will be shocked!</p>
<p>That full golf swing you&#8217;ve dreamed about will happen without you even thinking about it. Your body will do it because it has been &#8216;trained&#8217; properly.</p>
<p>A Quick Tip - you&#8217;ve got to focus on your rotational strength and flexibility to make a full golf swing! You can even do this sitting in your chair. Reach around the back of your chair and rotate your upper body, while leveraging your opposite arm against the chair. This is a simple, yet very effective rotational stretch you can do all day long.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need fancy, expensive equipment to improve your physical abilities, but a simple and effective program will do wonders for achieving your full golf swing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Golf Swing Videos</p>
<p>Golf swing videos are a source of golf instructions for all golfers who seek to improve their golf swing. Luckily, the internet is an abundant resource for finding information on anything you can imagine and more.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why You Need A Golf Fitness Program</p>
<p>Most people think that you do not need to do any exercises<br />
to be good at such a leisurely and laid back game as golf.<br />
But they&#8217;re wrong. Golf may look easy to those who do not<br />
play it, but golf, surprisingly, is a sport that requires<br />
the same degree of athleticism that other sports demand of<br />
their players.</p>
<p>This is reason why you need a good golf fitness program,<br />
especially if you are looking to play this game seriously.<br />
Any good golf enthusiast knows the importance of strength,<br />
power, flexibility, stability, and body awareness when it<br />
comes to playing a good game, and there&#8217;s no better way to<br />
achieve all these than to follow a golf fitness program,<br />
preferably one that is specifically made for you.</p>
<p>Most golf fitness programs start off by identifying your<br />
weak points and physical limitations through a thorough<br />
fitness evaluation and as soon as this is done, a plan to<br />
overcome said limitations are made so that you can get a new<br />
and improved swing to inspire the awe and envy of your<br />
golfing buddies.</p>
<p>A good golf fitness program should cover these main areas:</p>
<p>? Strength exercises- Strength is a major factor in your<br />
swing and the distance that your ball is able to cover. But<br />
aside from this, strength together with flexibility work<br />
together to give you a more consistent and reliable golf<br />
swing. Strength training should be foremost on your mind<br />
when considering a golf fitness program since it lays down<br />
the foundation for stability, balance, power, and<br />
coordination. Strong tendons and muscles, the result of<br />
following a regular and effective golf fitness program, also<br />
reduces the risk of injury because they have an improved<br />
ability to distribute the stress brought about by the gold<br />
swing uniformly throughout the body.</p>
<p>? Stretching exercises- Strength training is the way to<br />
improve your flexibility. It also reduces the incidence of<br />
lower back pain which often comes after a long of hitting<br />
the balls.</p>
<p>? Cardio exercises- Cardio exercise are a great way to boost<br />
your endurance and stamina, which you need to stock up on<br />
especially because you &#8216;ll be doing a lot of walking if you<br />
do not have a golf cart to take you from one hole to<br />
another. The less tired you are while playing, the better<br />
your concentration and swing will be.</p>
<p>? Nutrition plan- Playing golf requires you to be out under<br />
the sun and walking from one hole to another.   To keep<br />
yourself from getting tired all too soon take a  meal rich<br />
in protein and carbs before a golf game, and try to take<br />
small snacks of fruit or nuts to keep  your blood sugar at<br />
levels that will keep you playing until the 18th hole and<br />
beyond.</p>
<p>To prevent injury, develop a superior swing that will be the<br />
source of envy  of your golf buddies and to enjoy each and<br />
every game, start with a good golf fitness program now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Super Golf Swing Tips That Work For You Now</p>
<p>Even the guys who play golf for a living and get the best<br />
golf instruction in the world still struggle to improve<br />
their golf; and they practice each and every day! It&#8217;s<br />
important to remember, your golf swing is what drives your<br />
score; not your clubs or ball. You need great hand-eye<br />
coordination, balance, athletic ability and creativity to<br />
play golf.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been proven that thinking positively about bettering<br />
your golf game will benefit you more than playing to compete<br />
with your partners and trying to win for winnings sake.<br />
Overall, you generally want to play golf with confidence.<br />
The positive energy you send out will influence your game,<br />
just as negative thinking and therefore negative energy will<br />
affect it also.</p>
<p>At the end of a swing, the weight has shifted almost<br />
entirely to the left foot, the body is fully turned to the<br />
left and the hands are above the left shoulder with the club<br />
hanging down over the players&#8217; back.</p>
<p>The backswing is a rotation to the right, consisting of a<br />
shifting of the player&#8217;s body weight to the right side, a<br />
turning of the pelvis and shoulders, lifting of the arms and<br />
flexing of the elbows and wrists. Putts and short chips are<br />
ideally played without much movement of the body, but most<br />
other golf shots are played using variants of the full golf<br />
swing.</p>
<p>At the end of a backswing the hands are above the right<br />
shoulder, with the golf club pointing more or less in the<br />
intended direction of ball flight. After the ball is hit,<br />
the follow-through stage consists of a continued rotation to<br />
the left. Make sure to use the proper technique. It&#8217;s<br />
difficult for a golfer to practice hitting shots longer than<br />
short pitch shots unless one pays to play golf or pays to<br />
practice at a driving range or indoor golf training<br />
facility.</p>
<p>Putting can become a nightmare and a condition called the<br />
&#8216;yips&#8217; has affected not only amateurs but professionals as<br />
well; get expert advice and consider a golf swing aid. When<br />
you swing if you have problems with your left knee buckling,<br />
imagine you&#8217;re holding a soccer ball between your knees.</p>
<p>Use the muscles in your legs and trunk when you swing.<br />
Accomplished golfers purposely use sidespin to steer their<br />
ball around obstacles or towards the safe side of fairways<br />
and greens. Most golfers don&#8217;t know there are techniques<br />
that will greatly affect swing mechanics; you can get an<br />
edge by just changing your approach.</p>
<p>Workouts with straight crunches won&#8217;t improve your swing or<br />
driving distance; concentrate on weighted rotational<br />
exercises instead. You can get rid of shoulder problems with<br />
some simple techniques.</p>
<p>Overall, investing in golf swing aids will greatly improve<br />
your golf swing and your golf game. If you&#8217;re a golfing<br />
novice just starting out, it&#8217;s easy to become overwhelmed.<br />
Golf swing aids will improve your golf game.</p>
<p>Before buying any golf swing aid, check with an expert to<br />
get an idea of what problem you need to work on first;<br />
backlift of golf swing, momentum of downward thrust or<br />
stance for example. Golf magazines often review the newest<br />
golf swing aids and are reviewed by golfers, making it easy<br />
to choose the right one for you. There are a number of good<br />
golf swing aids on the market today.</p>
<p>Golf swing aids come in all shapes and sizes including<br />
apparel type accessories to correct alignment or a golf club<br />
add-on accessory to monitor your swing. Golf swing aids can<br />
be found online and are often cheaper. You can find golf<br />
swing aids that will help you with your wrist and arm<br />
position.</p>
<p>In any case, stick to just one golf swing aid at a time;<br />
don&#8217;t load up on them. If you&#8217;re looking for an aid to<br />
improve your stance they&#8217;re not hard to find.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve hit with your golf driver perfectly once, you can<br />
do it every time. Practice, practice, practice! Having a<br />
plan and working on specific aspects of the swing or game<br />
should be your goal.</p>

<p>Golf has been around for ages. The most accepted fact is<br />
that it came from Scotland in the 1100s. Although it is a<br />
very popular game, it is not as popular as basketball which<br />
was just invented in the 1900s. Probably, the game is not as<br />
physical as sports are expected to be. Also, golf as a sport<br />
appeals to the upper-income class only, simply because the<br />
equipments are expensive and there are not much golf courses<br />
where everyone can play on for free. And with this income<br />
bracket of players, it is only normal that businesses<br />
involved in the sport offer several personalized items like<br />
custom golf balls, customized golf clubs, and etcetera.</p>
<p>Since the balls are small-no heavier than 1.620 ounces and<br />
no smaller than 1.620 inches-golf balls have become<br />
accessories, too-from key chains to bag tags to alarm<br />
clocks, to mementos and keepsakes, and so on.</p>
<p>The golf ball of today has undergone a metamorphosis and is<br />
much different from the golf balls used in the early<br />
thirteenth century. The original or ancient golf ball was<br />
made wood. In the 17th century, people used feathers for<br />
golf balls and the golf ball was called a featherie.</p>
<p>The featherie was hand sewn and was made of leather. Inside<br />
the leather are goose feathers enough to fill a top hat. The<br />
leather and feathers are then boiled so the feathers would<br />
expand and the hide would shrink during cooling. The<br />
downside of this type of golf ball was that it was not<br />
durable in all weather conditions. If it got wet, the<br />
stitches cut loose and the golf balls burst when they hit<br />
solid pr hard surfaces. However, the combination of the<br />
feather and the leather and their properties when boiled and<br />
cooled gave satisfactory ball flight characteristics to<br />
players so it lasted as the standard golf ball for more than<br />
two hundred years.</p>
<p>Now, the golf balls we use are made of several materials<br />
from titanium to surlyn and urythane to hybrid materials.<br />
Golf balls have several numbers of layers and each type has<br />
a name apt to how many layers it has. A single layer golf<br />
ball consists of a single core, and a two-piece has two<br />
layers, and so on. This is because each has a characteristic<br />
that will suit the needs of who ever will play the<br />
ball-amateur or professional.</p>
<p>Custom golf balls are very popular to golfers who want to<br />
have something personal printed on their golf balls. Other<br />
companies also order custom golf balls as giveaways during<br />
conventions or meetings of corporate executives. Some people<br />
customize theirs for the sheer pleasure of it, just about<br />
the same way you customize your car plates.</p>
<p>You can print practically everything-your name, company<br />
name, date, a one-liner, just about anything that you want.<br />
Custom golf balls are not recommended for play, though,<br />
because you do not know if these balls are refurbished. If<br />
they are, they will certainly affect the spin of the golf<br />
ball once hit. The big players in golf ball manufacture are<br />
brands like Titleist, Callaway, Nike Golf, Bridgestone, Ben<br />
Hogan, Dunlop, Precept, and Top Flite.</p>
