After two years of global slowdown, <a href="https://www.pgashow.com" target="_blank">The PGA Show</a>, a trade-only event organized by PGA Golf Exhibitions and The PGA of America, opened with energy and enthusiasm that was felt across the nearly 30,000 attendees from more than 86 countries that included golf professionals, industry leaders, retailers, celebrities, organizations and media members. </p><p> A buzz of energy could be felt from the start on January 24th at the fitting and hitting bays of PGA Show Demo and Fitting Day at Orange County National Golf Center in Winter Haven, Florida.

Actually, 2020 saw an increase of 14% in rounds played over 2019 which translates into an astounding 60,000,000 additional rounds played, according to the <a href="https://www.ngf.org" target="_blank">National Golf Foundation</a>.</p><p> Early to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic, the PGA of America, USGA and other golf industry stakeholders developed the <a href="https://wearegolf.org/back2golf/" target="_blank">Back2Golf Operations Playbook</a>, a best-practices document that they presented the CDC in March 2020, enabling the industry to quickly get back on its feet. With a few adjustments to accommodate safety protocols, golf offered escape, exercise, entertainment, or was just plain essential. And golfers were reminded what a refuge golf can be. We could play alone, with family, with friends, with total strangers, just as we always have.</p><p> And so how strange it was to hear that the year's most well-attended golf get-together would go virtual. But the 2021 PGA Show Virtual Experience & Marketplace was a remarkable production. Combining with the PGA of America and the National Golf Course Owners of America (NCGOA), the 2021 PGA Show Virtual Experience & Marketplace provided a full slate of industry and educational sessions as well as a platform where nearly 400 merchandisers could present new products, merchandise education, video demos and buyer/exhibitor connections within virtual showrooms that industry professionals will be able to access throughout 2021 at <a href="http://Virtual.PGAShow.com">Virtual.PGAShow.com</a>.</p><p> More than 11,000 attendees included PGA and LPGA Professionals, course owners, retailers, industry leaders, manufacturers and members of the media from around the globe who connected online during 192 live and on-demand presentations and, thanks to the digital magic of this year's PGA Merchandise Show, those connections will continue to have a platform throughout 2021.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Some Fascinating Take-Aways Included ~</b></p><p><b>"So You Want To Own A Golf Course" </b>presented by <a href="http://www.ngcoa.org" target="_blank">NGCOA</a>, during which current golf course owner and PGA/LPGA Member Cathy Harbin and former golf course owner Chuck Bennell illuminated the realistic questions all potential golf course buyers should ask before they sign away.

And as Nike stepped away from golf equipment production in 2016, RZN Golf moved forward with continued innovation, building a collection of golf balls that will suit the style and augment the games of high, mid and low handicappers alike.</p><p> RZN Golf offers four ball styles, each specifically developed with internal technology to enhance play at every level. Considerate questions in a virtual "fitting" at <a href="http://rzngolf.com/balls-selector/">http://rzngolf.com/balls-selector/</a> help point the way to the optimal choice, but a close look at the surface of any RZN golf ball reveals thousands of micro dimples that reduce air drag, increase carry and still conform with USGA and R&A rules.</p><p> Thoughtful design has been applied to all RZN golf balls, starting with the <b>RZN Speed</b>, a 2-piece ball with a wide diameter core and ionomer cover for both good distance and soft feel at a very affordable <b>MSRP $11.95 US per dozen</b>.</p><p> In RZN's 3- and 4-piece golf balls, <b>3-D Lock Technology </b>is added to various core layers, maximizing contact surface energy transfer and allowing the player to capitalize on increased MOI for a piercing flight or better grab for short game spin.</p><p> The <b>RZN Distance</b>, a 3-piece ball with a resin core and ionomer cover, maximizes distance with a soft feel. <b>MSRP $19.95 US per dozen</b>.</p><p> The 3-piece <b>MS-Tour </b>delivers soft but powerful feel for medium swing speeds by increasing core diameter and layering a 3-D Speed Lock mantle under a soft urethane cover. <b>MSRP $29.95 US per dozen</b>.</p><p> The <b>HS-Tour </b>4-piece ball with an additional resin outer core and a soft urethane cover is designed to provide exceptional distance as well as tour-level spin control for high swing speed players. <b> MSRP $34.95 US per dozen</b>.</p><p> Courses here in Central Florida were quick this year to develop Covid-responsible strategies for safe play, thankfully giving us several great venues nearby to put RZN Golf Balls to the test. Compared to similarly-priced competitors, long shots with the <b>RZN Distance</b> flew on average 5-10 yards further and straighter with less side spin<b> </b>while feel around the green was definitely enhanced by the <b>MS-Tour</b>.<b> </b></p><p><b> </b>Also, with the Atlantic hurricane season peaking this week, we are glad to report that, as advertised, the MS-Tour with its anti-slip urethane cover does indeed "Grip and Control in Wet Conditions" while the RZN Distance with its high MOI and reduced air drag truly cuts through the wind!</p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJL6VkQOpJTUpQT0cNuuUv1fuWAkNiTPjTV2X6S1uiGTuI-ukjQGZEa4uEBTdn8dFTSTdBFBzujmAloHz5yORm2llYUEBbU7KQjmGvZUSGY2e6MU0ksgJKw9qtsgelI8tV7D80z9Ypn7Xb/s2048/RZN+MS+Tour+and+Distance.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJL6VkQOpJTUpQT0cNuuUv1fuWAkNiTPjTV2X6S1uiGTuI-ukjQGZEa4uEBTdn8dFTSTdBFBzujmAloHz5yORm2llYUEBbU7KQjmGvZUSGY2e6MU0ksgJKw9qtsgelI8tV7D80z9Ypn7Xb/s320/RZN+MS+Tour+and+Distance.JPG" /></a></b></div><b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> </b><p></p><p><b> </b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="157" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXgvKrP4-9X3Bu9Q3Ok374NDApW2kyZQqtOAYitHb33VoELpNUE465XzKqCRhog-6S1C9VYTV2fjuf-IcI-GDZwT5ZRZ6_Mnr63F0W1JaNTi68E_FHzhrOE0bcR3pZPoUvitUhfj-Ywq2Z/s320/rzn-golf-balls-logo.png" width="320" /></b></div><b><br /> </b><p></p><p> </p>The Garden Variety Golferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08097672084790429747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935731099237379156.post-11044687829423065072020-06-07T14:20:00.000-07:002020-06-07T14:59:23.796-07:00A Birdie Report From The Putting Porch<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Spring 2020<br />
<br />
Even here in our small Central Florida town there's normally significant background noise. But it's been turned way down since March when we and most of the world settled in until a vaccine for Covid-19 becomes available. And during our sequester, sights and sounds in our own back yard that we might have missed in springs past have become discovered treasures - like the hummingbird that's chosen to build her nest here.<br />
She caught our eye and ear in early May, gathering spider webs from a Sago palm outside of our window. We would listen for her tell-tale chitter and could watch where she took them, to the end of a low hanging oak branch not fifteen feet off our porch where over the course of the next two weeks she used them to glue tiny feathers and lichen and grass stems and moss and who know what else into a beautiful spiral, no bigger than a golf ball.<br />
<br />

Directly below her sit two hummingbird feeders that she takes no interest in, rather making regular stops through the day at her favorite flowers - hibiscus, red salvia, yellow trumpet and a spreading mimosa that here in Central Florida is at about the most northern reach of its natural range.<br />

We think we had a hatching on Mother's Day - hers as well as a family of wrens. They, being house wrens, argued vehemently each time we chased them out of the garage, but finally they settled on nesting in a potted house plant on the back deck. The cardinals also had new ones to feed and we watched that evening as our resident barred owl sat perched on a grape arbor, keeping his eyes on easy pickings of lubber grasshoppers and moles to pass by below him.<br />
<br />

The rest of the birds were incensed. The wrens and cardinals sent up alarms which he seemingly ignored. But the boldest was the female hummingbird who darted at him like mockingbirds will chase off a hawk. He finally relented and moved to a different post as sun settled down. And for two more weeks she gathered more webs, more moss, in a spiral until a tiny beak and tail could be seen above the edge.<br />

Through gusts of wind and early tropical rains, she tended her nest until we noticed two hummingbirds one morning in the hibiscus. One was quite small. It must have been testing its wings for a few days, trying out flowers in the mornings and returning to the nest in the afternoons where its mother would visit with something to tempt it. Then it was gone.<br />
Like worried grandparents, we checked below to be sure it hadn't accidentally fallen. No sign, until today when we walked around the yard and there flew a tiny hummingbird - through the red salvia and hibiscus and up into the spreading mimosa, sure-winged and almost grown up!<br />

Golf presents a natural bridge from the past to the future, from one successful path to another, to second careers and transitional opportunities, to impacts beyond what we think possible. Opening ceremonies at the 67th PGA Merchandise Show celebrated the 2019 successes of the US Men's and Women's PGA Cup teams, the long career and storied successes of course designer Pete Dye, and offered a toast to a successful 2020 Ryder Cup that will land on the shores of Lake Michigan's Whistling Straits September 25-27.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A tribute to partnership followed way, presented by the Acushnet family that includes <a href="http://www.titleist.com/" target="_blank">Titleist</a> and <a href="https://www.footjoy.com/" target="_blank">FootJoy</a>. Jim Nance, voice of Titleist for the past 25 years, was joined by Dr. Condoleezza Rice, 66th US Secretary of State, as these two success stories that are bridged by golf honored longtime Titleist Staff Professional Eric Eshleman, PGA Pro at The Country Club of Birmingham, who was voted 2019 PGA Professional of the Year by his fellow golf professionals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After discovering golf during her days in Washington, Dr. Rice discovered a teacher, Eric Eshleman, back in her childhood home of Birmingham and since then has crossed a new bridge herself into charitable service as an Ambassador for <a href="https://www.drivechipandputt.com/" target="_blank">Drive, Chip and Putt</a>. This celebration of Mr. Eshleman, teacher - coach - player - mentor, and as Dr. Rice said, "a pillar of Birmingham", reminded us that there are many impacts we can make as we cross these bridges through the game of golf.</div>

Tomberlins are assembled in Leesburg, Florida and engineered with safety and security at the top of their checklist. Golf and street-legal packages are available but standard on all their PTVs are 3-point seatbelts, 4-wheel hydraulic brakes, locking storage, class-leading hill climb ability, acceleration up to 25 mph and a range of 40 miles. </div>

Up until 2005, John Iacona's wood dowel company in Illinois had also been making and wholesaling wood tees when he imagined a better product - the 3-prong <a href="https://www.zerofriction.com/" target="_blank">Zero Friction</a> golf tee. The rest, as they say, is history as he has steadily moved his company into providing products that make better sense. Their 3-D compression fit gloves can be offered in a small number of sizes as they stretch in 3 directions, then return to "new glove" feel. Mr. Iacona's focus is to deliver high quality, technically advanced sports products that evolve as technology does while keeping them simple and true to their games. </div>

Forums at the PGA Merchandise Show shine a light on golf's achievements and also give the industry opportunity to address issues that could be improved upon. The <a href="https://www.usaga.org/" target="_blank">USAGA</a>, United States Adaptive Golf Alliance, moderated a discussion that focused on methods of inclusivity. PGA Reach programs like PGA Jr. League and PGA Hope have been proven effective in reaching new and diverse populations and benefiting golfers with challenges by helping courses extend invitations out into the community, opening the door to new, potential and returning golfers.</div>

With a golf course closing every week in the US along with unfriendly environmental images, a hazy future for manufacturing, real estate price spikes and labor loss, challenges to course owners can seem daunting. During the State of the Game, PGA, USGA, NGCOA and GCSAA leaders offered their thoughts on stumbling blocks and hurdles that the golf industry faces as they discussed positive strides that golf is making to grow the game while maintaining its integrity. Flexibility of play and property usage, a new world-wide handicapping system, changes in course layout to reduce maintenance and water usage and support aligning with community and national lawmakers are all works in progress to build confidence in the future of our sport. </div>

And there were a couple other Superheros in the world of golf who were unveiling an initiative at the show this year. Jack and Barbara Nicklaus need no introduction and the success they have attained in their lives is only eclipsed by the good works they promote with it.<br />
<a href="https://playyellow.childrensmiraclenetworkhospitals.org/" target="_blank">Play Yellow</a> is a joint effort by the Nicklaus Foundation and the PGA TOUR to create a platform to support Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and save children's lives across North America. From a simple coin jar on a pro shop counter to fundraising with your home league members, Play Yellow has room for your help. Play Yellow Family Golf Day is June 7, 2020.<br />

According to the current <a href="https://www.pbs.org/video/autmnul-equinox-its-fall-sept-16-22nd-5-min-entpww/" target="_blank">"Star Gazers"</a> episode on PBS, today is the Autumnal Equinox when at sunrise and sunset roads like the one in front of our house become perfect test grounds for protective eyewear. If your destination is a morning round of golf that lies to the east, then home in the afternoon to the west, we can honestly say that <a href="https://www.tifosioptics.com/shwae/" target="_blank">Tifosi Shwae Aviators</a> are up to the challenge, even driving directly into the sun!<br />
<br />
Designed and tested by sports enthusiasts for sports enthusiasts, Tifosi eyewear is affordable, comfortable and backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects. Their new Shwae Aviators have glide technology and smooth nose pads for a "no-tangle" transition from top of the head to securely on the bridge of the nose. The classic tear-drop lens is shatterproof polycarbonate and provides 100% UV protection. And the stainless steel frames are surprisingly lightweight.<br />
<br />
We also had the opportunity to try them last week at one of golf's most challenging courses. <a href="https://www.bayhill.com/" target="_blank">Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge</a> in Orlando hosts the <a href="https://www.arnoldpalmerinvitational.com/" target="_blank">Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard</a> every spring but is kept in tournament condition all year long with fine, rolling greens that run about a 10 even on a normal day and long, sweeping fairways rising up to the lodge. Built along a geologic feature call the Florida Crest, Bay Hill invites swift-moving weather that can make its way across Florida in any season. Fall, especially, can present every conceivable type of weather, often all in one day! We were happy to find that Tifosi Shwae hold up and hold on during wind, rain, heat, humidity, instant cloud cover and blinding sun - all with comfort and retrostyle that we're sure Arnie, world-renowned golfer, aviator and all-around classy guy, would have appreciated!<br />

<br />
June 2019<br />
<br />
We have quite a collection of putters for our back porch putting green. Most have been flea market finds and none have cost more than $5. We probably didn't need any more but there was something about this Alex Taylor putter that said "take me home" - the smooth old leather grip, the shiny blade, the fact that the guy would take $4 for it. We did take it home and what it did was take us on an unexpected treasure hunt.<br />
We thought as first - Taylor, as in TaylorMade. But a search online led us to, of all things, <a href="http://www.classicflyrodforum.com/">The Classic Fly Rod Forum</a>, where a member had quoted a most remarkable article, "Zzunk" by Brendan Gill from the April 19, 1947 issue of <i>The New Yorker</i>. In his entertaining article, Mr. Gill interviews Alex Taylor, of Alex Taylor & Co., a sporting goods store at 22 East 42nd Street in Manhattan, at the time already entering its 50th year at that location. We hope you enjoy this classic interview, itself the treasure:<br />
<br />
In 1897, Mr. Taylor told us, the best sporting goods invariably came from England,<br />
but for the past 25 years, American-made golf clubs, tennis rackets and so on have been<br />
considered as good as anybody else's. "Different sports tend to rise and fall in popularity,"<br />
Mr. Taylor said. "Back in '97, basketball was just beginning to catch on, lacrosse and<br />
fencing were very popular, and golf and tennis, which had been rich men's games, were<br />
beginning to be played by everybody. Now lacrosse and fencing are fairly unimportant,<br />
while skiing, to which nobody paid very much attention in the old days, is one of our major<br />
sports. Styles in equipment change, too. Tennis rackets used to be more rectangular in<br />
shape, and footballs were dumpy. Since 1912, when their measurements were first<br />
standardized, they have lost a bit more than an inch around the waist. Shoe skates were<br />
practically unknown in 1897 and golfing irons were all hand-forged, with wooden shafts.<br />
The rubber-wound golf ball hadn't been invented, so we used "gutty" balls, made of gutta<br />
percha. The gutta was easier to putt with, being heavy and dead and consequently more<br />
true on the green than a modern ball, but you couldn't get much distance with it. Baseballs<br />
were also dead. They got a cork center in 1909, which speeded them up a trifle. It was the<br />
switch from American to Australian yarn in 1920 that made them really fast. Baseball bats,<br />
on the other hand, haven't changed at all. I have a new magnesium bat in my office here,<br />
but I doubt if it'll ever take the place of wood. Just doesn't feel right."<br />

Our lunch partner, Ramon, also confirmed what many have told us through the years - that what draws him to this show is the opportunity to network with colleagues that he wouldn't ever get a chance to see in what is always a very busy year. And that network expands exponentially when you walk into the Orange County Convention Center. <br />

January 22-25, 2019<br />
Orlando, Florida<br />
<br />
The crossroads of golf converge each January at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida where the <a href="https://www.pgashow.com/">PGA Merchandise Show</a> presents 10 miles of merchandise aisles, equipment testing, training seminars and fashion, travel and fitness pavilions. Golf's leading trade-only event hosts nearly 1,000 top golf companies and more than 40,000 golf industry professionals and media, giving them first look at new equipment and products, access to improvements in best practices, and an exponentially expanding network through the business of golf.<br />

Since its start in 2003 as a producer of innovative, scientifically-designed golf tees, <a href="https://evolvegolf.com/">Evolve Golf</a> has been making "Better Products For Player, Course And Planet". The <a href="https://evolvegolf.com/epoch/">Epoch</a> tee's radial points of contact have been independently tested to minimize ball/tee resistance and maximize ball flight distance and accuracy, while the durability of material creates a tee that will outlast many wood tees per round, reducing golf tee litter. <br />
A company small enough to put customizing at the heart of customer service, Evolve has benefited from its North Carolina home base where wood products and textile industries have both deep historical roots and modern visions of the future.<br />

No one debates the importance of 100% UV eye protection these days, a feature that is standard across almost all sunglasses. And then there are eyewear manufacturers like Tifosi that rise through their own sports experience to fine-tune the details of sport-specific eyewear. Known for decades among runners and bicyclists for durability and value, Tifosi is making fans of golfers with their terrain-defining Enliven <span style="font-size: xx-small;">TM</span> color-enhancing lens. <br />
<br />

Built of shatterproof polycarbonate to withstand the harshest of athletic conditions, Enliven <span style="font-size: xx-small;">TM</span> lenses are optically decentered, minimizing distortion and magnification, and adjust the greens, blues and reds of the landscape like a sound engineer adjusts the musical layers of your favorite track.<br />

Tifosi Crit sunglasses with Enliven <span style="font-size: xx-small;">TM</span> lenses prove themselves against the glare and ever-changing shadows of Florida golf while integrated side vents prevent fogging and the hydrophilic temple inserts and nosepieces hold them securely in the humid, sometimes torrential, conditions of our tropical climate.<br />

With over one million square feet of interactive exhibits and 10 miles of showcase aisles at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, the 65th <a href="http://pgashow.com/" target="_blank">PGA Merchandise Show</a> brought together golf businesses, professionals, associations and products as it does each January in an industry-only event that celebrates and elevates the business of golf.</div>
<div>
There is a generosity of spirit in golf that is especially apparent here where legends of the sport merge with retailers and manufacturers, innovators and new generations to move us forward. And some of the most satisfying reflections we have of the show are from following the threads where golf leads.</div>
<div>
With its huge stretch of hitting bays, putting greens and short game challenge, the Indoor Equipment Test Center presented great opportunities to continue our tour of wedges that started at Demo Day and to talk over the new technology with club manufacturing representatives.</div>

Hank Haney, who alongside Suzie Whaley, Debbie Donniger, Larry Rinker, Michael Breed, David Leadbetter and Jim McLean participated in the Teacher Town Hall presented by Sirius XM, is often heard encouraging a student to play a ball that feels good around the green. <br />
We like the feel of the <a href="http://oncoregolf.com/" target="_blank">OnCore</a> Elixer golf ball with its high density polymer mantel and the idea of their risk-free E-Consign program for retailers and clubs. Keep your "i" out for their GENiUS golf ball, the next gen in putting analytics, due out in time for Father's Day!<br />

Amazing interview opportunities occur at the PGA Merchandise Show and the stories of Gianna Rojas and Wesley Hobbs Bauguess will inspire you.<br />
Gianna Rojas, Founder of <a href="http://adaptivegolfers.org/" target="_blank">Adaptive Golfers</a>, told us that she only had to ask and the PGA Merchandise Show organized a new Adaptive Golf Center within the Golf Fitness, Wellness and Instruction Area of the Show floor. Featured products included adaptive clubs, accessories, programs, grip devices and single rider golf carts specifically with this rising segment of golfers in mind.<br />

Gianna, a March of Dimes "spokeskid" in the 1960's, who was born with an under-developed left hand, is a woman today with an infectious spirit who has never let her physical differences be a barrier. Golf was a sport she wanted to learn to be able to play with her husband and so she developed a way to play. More than that, she saw that golf could help her realize her vision of building a resource coalition for adaptive golfers. And so she has.</div>

Meeting Wesley Hobbs Bauguess, author of <u><a href="http://godcountrygolfbook.com/" target="_blank">God, Country, Golf - Reflections of an Army Widow</a></u>, was an interview that we could never have prepared for. Wesley, a mother, golfer and Army veteran, is also a spokesperson for <span id="goog_1192485391"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/">Folds of Honor<span id="goog_1192485392"></span></a>, a charitable foundation with 10 years of service to families of fallen or disabled US Service Members by providing scholarships to their children and spouses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Folds of Honor was begun by Maj. Dan Rooney, an F16 fighter pilot and PGA golfer who started with the first Patriot Day Golf fundraiser on Labor Day Weekend, 2007. By asking golfers across the country to add an extra dollar to their greens fees, they raised $1.1 million that weekend. They are honored by the generosity of their donors who have since made Patriot Day Golf the largest grass-roots golf fundraiser with those dollars totaling over $14 million in 2017.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had heard Wesley speak 2 years ago. After losing her husband, Maj. Larry Bauguess, US Army, in 2007, Folds of Honor changed their lives by partnering in her children's future. It had lifted a huge burden from her shoulders. Speaking to her in person this year, it was also evident that the ability to participate in other families' recoveries had returned her to a place of service that she had missed so dearly since serving with the Army. Lives changed because of golf.</div>

Hall of Fame College Football Coach Lou Holtz surely needs no further introduction to most sports fans. In a heart-warming conversation during the Sirius XM "State of the Game" discussion, Pete Bevacqua, CEO of the PGA of America, asked him what his mantra was, in a nutshell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Be successful," said Coach Holtz. "Then be significant."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
His football success has opened many doors, including the door to Augusta National where at age 81 he is an ambassador for <a href="http://drivechipandputt.com/" target="_blank">Drive, Chip and Putt</a>. Each spring he puts on his green jacket to welcome and encourage a new generation of athletes at Augusta - girls and boys stepping up to the tee and getting a good grip on golf and life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's what we enjoy so much about covering the PGA Merchandise Show. It never fails to remind us how richly textured the fabric of golf is.</div>

Being recently retired from long-standing careers in outdoor recreation, we have discovered both more time for golf and new requirements in our equipment. A better short game can help make up for that ever-shortening drive and so wedges were high on our agenda at the 42-acre practice facility that encompasses the <a href="http://www.pgashow.com/" target="_blank">PGA Merchandise Show Demo Day</a>. With over 100 companies across the hitting stations, practice greens, a vendor village and numerous vehicle test tracks, Demo Day provides a unique opportunity for PGA members, conference attendees and invited media to test equipment and engage with professionals.<br />

We spent some time at the <a href="http://www.epongolf.us/" target="_blank">Epon</a> booth with Trevor Sauntry, a Master Custom Fitter with <a href="http://www.impactprecisiongolf.com/" target="_blank">Impact Precision Golf</a>, who pointed out that Epon utilizes steel forged by Endo, one of the oldest foundries in Japan, creating excellent weight distribution and momentum in their quality wedge.<br />
The new <a href="http://www.vokey.com/wedges" target="_blank">Titleist Vokey SM7 Wedges</a> go through a spin milled process producing sharp, consistent grooves that are distinct between lofts and are available in 6 different grinds.<br />
The <a href="http://www.clevelandgolf.com/" target="_blank">Cleveland CBX</a> with laser and micromilling has channel grooves to clear debris away through the swing and a microcavity in the hosel that moves the center of gravity closer to the center of the face, adding more feel to that Cleveland bounce.<br />

Sometimes it just takes a few degrees. That is the difference in loft and lie and cut and grind between my last set of clubs and the <a href="http://precisegolf.com/club-sets-ladies-clubs/Ladies-Full-Golf-Club-Set-1" target="_blank">M5 Ladies Clubs by Precise Golf</a> that I've recently been playing. But that was all it took to get at least 10 more yards with every shot and fine-tune my aim.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_JMp1hBYChD-tUyFgSrg3vmaeaqyD6Xtz3qZRQNvgC6sVkYu1jCOTtrSv7lZ7gd8MUldkzPriD5d3AJu34_lkvFDw-1dvANud2S5N788RDmgcjJcq06ztYIPLHJN0hy5YFjuMLAcTnfEp/s1600/m5-IRON-L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1563" data-original-width="908" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_JMp1hBYChD-tUyFgSrg3vmaeaqyD6Xtz3qZRQNvgC6sVkYu1jCOTtrSv7lZ7gd8MUldkzPriD5d3AJu34_lkvFDw-1dvANud2S5N788RDmgcjJcq06ztYIPLHJN0hy5YFjuMLAcTnfEp/s200/m5-IRON-L.jpg" width="115" /></a> Thoughtful details include tactile finger/palm pad designs that instinctually remind the hands of correct grip positioning. Clubs glide smoothly along the cushioned fabric dividers on the bag, quieting and protecting the shafts and heads. Extreme heel/toe weighting on the oversize irons really creates a larger sweet spot.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5QrjYLDzCdMheQMewS17ASr0yykBXFslBTJrtivKUDNKWz9kqUCdo_NRU1N68vOkUHe2T5qjT4zg_2TZHrkBja1oYZ-aR688CwpDjVIY6tEUmIRPLY2JZgczVzVOxRxsuMp4_iCQ3koZf/s1600/m5-DR-L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1135" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5QrjYLDzCdMheQMewS17ASr0yykBXFslBTJrtivKUDNKWz9kqUCdo_NRU1N68vOkUHe2T5qjT4zg_2TZHrkBja1oYZ-aR688CwpDjVIY6tEUmIRPLY2JZgczVzVOxRxsuMp4_iCQ3koZf/s200/m5-DR-L.jpg" width="141" /></a> The 460cc driver is incredibly forgiving, resulting in 15 more yards for me on almost every drive. And the high M.O.I. mallet-style putter is very like some I was recommended to try at several PGA Merchandise Shows. It sits comfortably in the hands and putts are very accurate.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also realized how much I missed a stand bag. Most of our walking days may be behind us but the backpack straps are so co<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5QrjYLDzCdMheQMewS17ASr0yykBXFslBTJrtivKUDNKWz9kqUCdo_NRU1N68vOkUHe2T5qjT4zg_2TZHrkBja1oYZ-aR688CwpDjVIY6tEUmIRPLY2JZgczVzVOxRxsuMp4_iCQ3koZf/s1600/m5-DR-L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>mfortable and the bag is so light that I might be tempted to hoof it more often.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Precise Ladies' M5 Set includes a 460cc driver, 15 degree 3-wood, 21 degree hybrid, 3 head covers, 5 through PW oversize irons, mallet-style putter and stand bag with rain hood and ample storage.

<a href="http://www.lamkingrips.com/shop/flat-cat-solution-putter-grips.html" target="_blank">Lamkin's new Flat Cat Solution grip</a> is designed to align the hands with the putter face and instantly brought us back to better posture. Its flat shape takes away some of the tendency for the guiding hand to over steer. A patented balance weight feels like it increases the MOI. The oversized cushion of soft polyurethane takes away a lot of hand tension. And it feels good in rain or shine.</div>
<strong>Results</strong>: less twisting of the putter head, better tracking on long putts and more go on the ball that gets it to the hole.</div>

Aging eyes, or any eyes, for that matter, will benefit from protection against the sun's damaging UVA, B and C rays, whatever latitude you play in. This summer took us from Florida through the Rockies and into the high Southwestern deserts of the United States, and we made sure to take sunglasses along for the trip.

And as fabrics blend new levels of chemistry with technology, we'll mention unmentionables here because a comfortable swing begins with comfortable clothing. Celebrating a new association with The President's Cup by providing the wardrobes for both the US and International Teams, <a href="https://www.lacoste.com/us/homepage" target="_blank">Lacoste</a> showcases its full complement of design on the golf course. The iconic crocodile appears on their traditional polos as well as classically tailored jackets, sweaters, chinos and bermudas. But at the very core of a man's wardrobe are those undergarments that can make all the difference. Lacoste's L.12.12 Pique Boxer Brief blends Pima cotton with Modal fibers for a smooth, soft fabric that is absorbent, breathes and is cool to the touch. A seamless waistband completes the smooth look.<br />
<strong>Results</strong>: cool, classic and comfortable.<br />

September 25, 2017<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I didn't play golf as a kid. Or in High School. It was not until we were in our 30's that my husband and I picked up a club outside of a miniature golf course. But I knew Arnie.<br />
Like someone knows a distant relative, Arnie felt like family as I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, watching him on those 1960's Sundays when Dad would be kicked back with his feet on the couch, sun and shadows coming in through the windows, quiet hushes on TV until Mr. Palmer turned on the electric.<br />
Mr. Palmer shares his birthday with my husband, September 10th, and the more auspicious anniversary of his passing, September 25th, happens to be Dad's birthday. He looked like my Dad.<br />
We had the pleasure of attending Bay Hill in 2014 and will always remember the one time we've seen Arnie, on the driving range speaking with Brandt Snedeker. You could see their connection, the young man and his idol. But surrounded by camera crews, spectators and players, Mr. Palmer's charm made us all feel as if we were part of the conversation.<br />
We were home in June 2016 for the US Open and passed by the entrance of Latrobe on our way to play a little Laurel Highlands golf that week. Arnie was there as well, was home at Latrobe, unable to partake in the celebration down in Oakmont and as we drove past I whispered a wish for him to get well. If anything could have healed him, the Laurel Highlands would have.<br />
We had Dad with us that day. He, like Arnie, was everyman. When he took a job with Alcoa in Pittsburgh, he was a young man from Iowa, part farm boy, part chemical engineer, having attended Iowa State on an NROTC scholarship that would also make him a Navy Pilot. As we drove past Latrobe that day, he told us his own Arnie story.<br />
He told us how a group from his department at Alcoa met with Mr. Palmer in the early 60's to see if aluminum shafts might hold up to his swing. As the new guy in the office, Dad mostly hovered by the door, brought coffee and listened in while Mr. Palmer was surrounded by business partners, chemists and engineers who talked with Palmer about metallurgy, tinsel strength and new fabrication methods. Dad says he was just a bystander but he clearly remembered Mr. Palmer's charm making him feel as if he were part of the conversation.<br />
At the time aluminum was deemed too soft a metal for a swing like Mr. Palmer's but it would only be a few years before aluminum alloys were making their way to golf club manufacturers. And Dad would have an Arnie story that he remembered for the rest of his life.<br />
<br />
<br />
For an interesting look back at the beginnings of aluminum shafts, go to Roger Ganem's article in the February 1968 issue of <em>Golfdom</em> entitled "The Aluminum Shaft Dilemma":<br />

Of sincere volunteers wishing you a good day as they manned their posts and grounds crews working as diligently as ever, patrons quietly respectful, as if he might appear at any moment, on any fairway or tee box or green, at the Nursery, in the Pro Shop of The Lodge that he could have just as easily folded into the Laurel Highlands of Western Pennsylvania as here at the edge of the limestone crest of Florida that runs down the center of the state. It certainly feels like the end of the ridge that connects the two homes of his heart - Latrobe and Bay Hill.</div>

Bay Hill is a beautiful place and if I were Arnie I can imagine spending a </div>
little extra time in a few favorite spots. After the driving range where he could be among his players and in reach of his fans, he might have stopped along the left side approach to the 18th green where the houses are still that 1960's size and style, sitting in that mini bleacher with the gentleman who looked as if he were missing his friend. <br />

Not the largest bird of prey but with strong wings and against many odds, once in a while losing its trophy catch to a larger hawk or majestic eagle, it's as blue collar as the man who built this place. Hovering, working and fishing a waterway, it's much like watching a master at golf. </div>

According to the <a href="http://www.aoa.org/" target="_blank">American Optometric Association</a>, the chances of long-term eye damage like cataracts and macular degeneration increase dramatically with exposure to UV-A and UV-B radiation, particularly prevalent in outdoor activities like golf. Good quality sunglasses will block out the 99-100% that is recommended but there is much more to the science of eye protection than that.</div>

The shape of sport lenses and frames has developed to wrap side to side and top to bottom, blocking pollens and irritants, drying wind and side glare. New coatings reduce fog on the inside as well as water and smudges on the outside while frames merge strength and flexibility with the safety needed in sporting conditions.<br />

<a href="http://www.bolle.com/" target="_blank">Bolle</a> boasts a Trivex lens which offers clarity closest to glass while still rating very high in impact-resistance. Their origin in the French Alps and then post-WWII growth into the nylon industry gave them early entrée into the sunglass business with first finely-worked frames for ski goggles, then après ski wear and now sport and eye protection for customers the world-over. Bolle uses an anti-reflective coating that keeps side-glare from building between the face and lens and they offer a large variety of lens and frame colors as well as a prescriptive program and their Modulator lenses with photochromatic technology. </div>

Lens color has a science all to itself. For years Dad field-trained his labs with yellow-tinted lenses- good for long-distance depth perception, he says; they used grey or brown to reduce glare when he flew for the Navy. And it works for golf, too. Browns and ambers enhance terrain contrast and grey is comfortable in extremely bright conditions. Recently support has been building for violet when it comes to reading greens by filtering out a higher percentage of blue light that blurs grass definition in high light. And by the way, leave those polarized glasses in the boat - they'll take the sheen right off the grass and you'll miss an important break component!</div>

Alan Maloney at <a href="http://www.ireland.com/en-us/" target="_blank">Golf Ireland</a> felt like both - so warm and welcoming, assuring us that we're all Irish, especially if we come to Ireland! Definitely on our bucket list, his <a href="http://www.mountfalcon.com/" target="_blank">Mount Falcon Estate</a> sits in the heart of the western counties within an easy drive of courses like Enniscrone and Rosses Point. But we may never want to leave this restored manor with its salmon and fly-fishing, clay shooting and tale-telling to enchant us at this 100 acre estate on the banks of the River Moy.</div>

The Fuchshumer Family of <a href="http://www.easy-pitch.com/" target="_blank">Easy Pitch</a> travelled to their first PGA show with an excitement and enthusiasm that comes from having a new patent and strong family bond.

A sleek design that is well-engineered and well-made, our lower back complaints appreciate this new product!</div>

Their focused foundation brings rehabilitative golf clinics and opportunities to post-9/11 U. S. service members who are recovering from severe injury and PTSD. SMGA was started by <a href="http://jimestesgolf.com/" target="_blank">Jim Estes</a>, former PGA tour pro whose teaching career centers around Olny Golf Park near Walter Reed Medical Center. He saw the need and knew the life-changing potential that golf could have in rehabilitative programs at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval Hospital. They have since served over 2,000 Veterans across the country through their Warrior Golf Clinics and American Golfer Program.</div>

Clearly, sports can be an integral part of a team commitment that can be missing in an individual's rehabilitation, particularly for our military.

And with one last stop at an unassuming booth toward the back of the textile pavilion in the giant convention hall, we gave our regards to the folks at <a href="http://www.arnoldpalmerapparel.com/" target="_blank">Arnold Palmer Apparel</a> whose logo,</div>

"LOOK GREAT. DO GOOD.", finishes with these words:</div>

So after a stop at <a href="http://www.skinsunscreen.com/" target="_blank">SKIN</a>, whose sunscreen is designed by golfers for golfers and is the favorite among tour players and Demo Day attendees, we aimed toward the waving flags of <a href="http://www.foldsofhonor.org/" target="_blank">Folds Of Honor</a> to say hello and pay respects to one of golf's rising stars in the world of charitable foundations. Formed just 10 years ago by Major Dan Rooney, USAF, a former PGA Pro and fighter pilot, Folds has taken off like the F16s that he has flown. With its purpose to provide scholarships for the children and spouses of fallen and disabled U. S. service members, Folds Of Honor started with a simple golf tournament and has grown to be embraced by the PGA of America, Nascar, and major corporations like Anhueser-Busch and Cobra/Puma. Its logo, a folded flag, made surprise appearances on several products that we saw this week from companies like FootJoy, Tee Tree, Bushnell and Bolle but Folds Of Honor is just one of many charitable foundations to benefit from the heart of golf.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyCCcx1qqdUcRCycbBtMl_GfyjHDLVU0JSlvz4c6lYzcPT_Kd-yklqFPMdkMW5hX4KsLz1cgY5gP6PNPT7Ibg0Wcu3BnfkwDcG8ffF0sRuo1uduludpA5_CzDrUkF1qDtplHriIWyDEyH6/s1600/DSCN1155.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyCCcx1qqdUcRCycbBtMl_GfyjHDLVU0JSlvz4c6lYzcPT_Kd-yklqFPMdkMW5hX4KsLz1cgY5gP6PNPT7Ibg0Wcu3BnfkwDcG8ffF0sRuo1uduludpA5_CzDrUkF1qDtplHriIWyDEyH6/s200/DSCN1155.JPG" width="200" /></a> The driving theme behind this year's PGA Show was the far-reaching charitable impact of golf. Annually in the U. S. players, sponsors and fans raise more money than football, baseball, hockey and basketball combined, and they raise it with a generosity that comes from participation. In 2016, 84% of golf facilities in the United States hosted events for a charitable cause but perhaps the more important stat is that 50% of golfers in America participated in a charitable event. The magic of golf is that it is played by an individual but through it we can do such bigger things.<br />
<br />
The media coach had let us off at the <a href="http://www.golfrange.org/" target="_blank">Golf Range Association of America</a>-sponsored 2nd tee pavilion, where the GRAA hosts a huge village of merchandisers that support golfers and courses with everything from teaching tools to range finders to aerification equipment.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gamegolf.com/" target="_blank">Game Golf'</a> 's hands-free device has moved shot-tracking up another notch with a teacher portal that can record each shot, collect stats from every hole and even send them to your teaching pro. It's also Smart Watch enabled and oh, it's got a huge community of skills challenges for those who don't get enough pressure in their own foursome!<br />

The 500-yard distance across the circular range at Orange County National is the perfect opportunity to test the features that elevate <a href="http://www.bushnellgolf.com/" target="_blank">Bushnell</a> and <a href="http://www.nikongolf.com/" target="_blank">Nikon</a> in yardage-seeking. Bushnell's Jolt system locks in and lets the player know when the element is targeted and provides a slope feature that can be disengaged for USGA-sanctioned play. And Nikon's new Photographic Stabilization takes precision to the half yard even against wind, adrenaline or shaky hands.<br />

A piece of ground-breaking grounds-keeping equipment that drew quite a crowd was the <a href="http://www.air2g2.com/" target="_blank">Air2g2</a>, a mobile pneumatic aerator that injects greens with air, improving compacted root zones, drainage and turf health while eliminating the need for punching and sanding, hole closures and unhappy players.<br />
<br />
Offering varied terrain options to the often flat landscape of many practice ranges, the <a href="http://www.toughlie360.com/" target="_blank">ToughLie 360</a> platform is durable, stable underfoot and easily rotates to re-create real course conditions on the range. <br />

Gone is the tininess of yesterday and some of our favorite sounds came out of drivers like <a href="http://www.callawaygolf.com/" target="_blank">Callaway</a>'s new Epic, <a href="http://www.epongolf.us/products.html" target="_blank">Epon</a> (celebrating 40 years of custom-fitted clubs forged by Endo) and <a href="http://www.xxiousa.com/" target="_blank">XXiO</a> (long an Asian best-seller that Dunlop Sports is bringing into the U. S. market), all with a feel of heavier heads and lighter shafts.<br />

And the <a href="http://www.cobragolf.com/f7-family" target="_blank">Cobra King F7</a> ladies' driver and 5-6 wood fired the balls off like rockets.<br />

We stopped at <a href="http://www.footjoy.com/" target="_blank">FootJoy</a> where we complimented their shoe life (one of our favorite pairs is pushing 15 years old) and were rewarded with a step challenge and pedometer to wear for the rest of our 3 days at the show. Attendees' badges declare name, affiliation and home town and the three young men behind us listening to our story were from the <a href="http://www.jekyllisland.com/activities-category/golf-club/" target="_blank">Jekyll Island Golf Club</a> in Georgia. We let them know of our fondness for Jekyll that goes back to our golfing roots. Their historic 9-hole Great Dunes Course (then called Oceanside) was our very first round of golf almost 30 years ago. When we finally made our way after at least 100 strokes to the top of the 5th green and looked out at the Atlantic Ocean and both one-putted, we knew we were hooked for life!<br />

Clubs continue to show technologic advances as face thinness is drawn even thinner, allowing for the movement of weight to interesting counterpoints, increasing ball jump and maximizing the sweet spot. <a href="http://www.clevelandgolf.com/" target="_blank">Cleveland</a> may have perfected this, redistributing 9 grams of mass inside the RTX-3 wedge and shortening the hosel, small but large adjustments that make a noticeable difference.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As we finished the circle at the end of the afternoon we slowed down to watch what looked like a lesson at <a href="http://www.kbsgolfshafts.com/" target="_blank">KBS Shafts</a>. <a href="https://michaelbreed.com/" target="_blank">Michael Breed</a> had tossed his backpack down and stepped in to give some pointers to an older gentleman. No script. No cameras. No hurry. He spent 15 minutes helping someone find his comfort zone that straightened his swing, got him some extra yards and made a friend for life. That's a PGA Pro for you.<br />
