Golf Ball in Space
The big day is right around the corner! Wednesday November 23rd, Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin will hit a golf ball in space. As you may recall, we first wrote about this story back in March, where Canadian Golf Company Element 21 dreamt up this great idea to draw awareness to their new golf clubs. The clubs are made from Scandium which is supposed to help create more distance and better feel.
We were fortunate enough to get an interview with Element 21 CEO Nataliya Hearn last March as well and stay tuned as Bill Dey, the new Executive VP and General Manager has also agreed to an interview.

Here we are at the spectacular 12th hole a 45000 mile par5, dogleg left around the rings of Saturn. Not many try to reach in 2 because if you don’t clear those outer rings with your drive you’ll be hitting 3 from the tee.

DId you see the Compleat Golfer from South Africa – May 2008 with Tiger Woods purported to be using BioGraph Infiniti, Biofeedback /Neurofeedback to prepare mentally? It turns out that Dr. Wes Sime worked with a Ryder Cup winner and Dr. Tom Harkness, the author mistook that Golf Champion for Tiger. But the mental side of golf is equally, or more, important than the club. ProComp Infiniti is for Sports Psychologist to work with their athletes. Mind Over Muscle uses a small GSR2 hand held skin conductance biofeedback monitor, the size of a mouse, to teach deep relaxation, which is the necessary precondition for visualization to work. Ten thousand Olympic athletes have used this over the past thirty years, in Japan, Korea, China, Canada and the USA.
