I must receive upwards of 20 golf related press releases each month. Some are good and some not so good. I decided I would pick some of the good press releases and start posting them here in this New Category.
So if you are in PR, please send them along to nigel AT golflogic dot ca.

1. The Golf Pride grip come with pre-set groves showing you a proper grip.
2. Magnetic Ball. The golf club comes with a magnetic ball which clicks and unclicks based on your swing. It is very hard to describe (watch the great video) but the clicking of the ball tells you when you have done something correctly, such as properly cocking your wrists, and also tells you when you have done something wrong. After using it at home and on the range, the clicking and routine was easily transferred to my game on the course. It was completely engrained into my swing, I could actually hear the clicking in my head. When I hit a bad shot, I knew exactly what went wrong.
3. The Instructional DVD - With the Swing Setter Pro you are also provided with an instructional DVD hosted by David Leadbetter himself. I must have watched this DVD over 20 times already. Not so much to learn how to use the training aid but by watching his swing and listening to him discuss mechanics, I felt like it was being given a personal lesson.
He just never ceases to amaze us does he? Check out the entire story HERE.
Forbes magazine suggests that Tiger Woods is on target to become the first person to accumulate $1 billion through sporting prowess alone.
Forbes magazine an annual ranking of the world’s richest people in its Celebrity 100 list. It reports that Woods earned $115 million in 2007 alone and he will pass through the $1 billion mark in 2010.
The second-placed sportsman on the list is footballer David Beckham, who banked $65 million in 2007.
Forbes said: “There are plenty of billionaires who have excelled at sports like Switzerland’s richest man, and champion sailor, Ernesto Bertarelli. But there are no billionaires who accumulated their fortune by playing sports.”
Woods is reported to have earned more than $750 million in endorsement deals to date in his career. At 32, he has won 50 tournaments faster than any player in history.

Have you ever had to describe exactly what golf is to anyone? I haven’t but I was recently involved in an email exchange where someone asked for a definition of golf. The third person on the email directed her to Wikipedia, the unofficial source for all information. I couldn’t resist the urge so I clicked over and checked out the explanation.
Golf always confused me…but now even more so:
Golf is a sport in which a player, using many types of clubs including a driver, a putter, and irons, hits a ball into each hole on a golf course in the lowest possible number of strokes. Golf is one of the few ball games that does not use a standardized playing area; rather, the game is played on golf “courses”, each one of which has a unique design and typically consists of either 9 or 18 holes. Golf is defined in the Rules of Golf as “playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules.”
