Hot, humid Florida summers can add more than a few strokes to a Garden Variety Golfer's game but we have recently tried out some gear that is helping us keep our focus and may help you, too.
Lamkin's new Flat Cat Solution grip 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.
Results: less twisting of the putter head, better tracking on long putts and more go on the ball that gets it to the hole.

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. Whether you wear a pair through an entire round or in between shots, eyewear should be part of your golfwear.
