Golf Clinic for Kids

This past weekend I gave a Power Clinic for some kids and I have to tell you, I had the best time. They come from all walks of life ,each different and unique but the one thing they all shared in common was their thirst for knowledge. I was impressed. They were possibly the best group of kids I have worked with in a long time. I may have learned far more from these kids than they did from me. A big thanks to USTMamiya for providing the golf grips we gave away to each child & of course Horsepower Golf for sponsoring the ProForce V2LD long drive shafts.
Here are a few photos sharing that fantastic day.

Can 12 be the new 18 in golf?

Twelve-hole golf courses are becoming a hot topic, especially after Jack Nicklaus told Golf Digest in 2007: "We should consider the possibility of making 12 holes the standard round. ... Eventually it would be accepted because it makes sense in people's lives" and users of the Proforce V2 LD

There are already some fantastic 12-hole golf courses in the world. On Scotland's Isle of Arran, Shiskine Golf and Tennis Club is a 19th century links gem that had 18 holes for a short time until World War II and has kept its current 12-hole route since. Just a few miles north from Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon, the mysterious course Sheep Ranch, designed by Doak, boasts 12 holes that can be played in a variety of different routings.

Shiskine and Sheep Ranch are two of the world's best 12-hole designs, but they're also in the middle of nowhere. The 12-hole concept may work most effectively around larger cities, where land is at a higher premium but golf demand is high, too.

"A nine-hole course works great until you have about 100 golfers per day," noted Doak, who recently redesigned historic nine-hole Aetna Springs Golf Course in Napa Valley, Calif. "In a big city, you can hit that number pretty quickly."

A 12-hole routing offers more flexibility than nine-hole courses and can get more golfers around with the possibility of two or three starting tees, not just one. Get creative with the tee boxes, such as at Sheep Ranch, and you could easily create 18 different holes out of 12 holes worth of acreage and maintenance -- and keep golfers satisfied knowing the shot values will be as good as any 18-hole course.

"We've never assumed that because a course has fewer holes, it's not as good," said Zimmerman. "That doesn't matter in our minds. You could make some extremely good holes and almost dial the design up a bit."

ProForce V2 LD will be Back with Vengeance at the 2010 Re/Max World Long Drive Championship in Mesquite, NV

Producing dominating distance and world-class consistency for the world’s biggest hitters, the popular ProForce V2LD ‘Long Drive’ graphite shaft manufactured by UST Mamiya® has captured the spotlight at the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship in the past and is looking to dominate again at this years world long drive finals beginning Oct. 27 – Nov 6 2010.

The fast-paced RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship attracts big hitters from more than 125 countries every year in a quest for the longest drive title and a chance to win more than $500,000 in total earnings.

Notables such as former NBA superstar Rick Barry, who won the inaugural Grand Champion Division title back in 2007 in a tight battle with LDA Hall-of-Famer Fred Hooter. Barry used a ProForce V2LD2 shaft in his driver and prevailed with a 349-yard blast down the grid and he plans on doing it again. California firefighter Sheila Kelliher unseated defending champion Phillis Meti in the Women’s Division with a 338-yard drive which was powered by a ProForce V2LD graphite shaft.

Patrick Dempsey, owner of Horsepower Golf of Sunland, Calif., No stranger to hitting the long ball, Dempsey is the 2002 RE/MAX senior world champion and he co-designed the V2 LD shaft with the UST Mamiya engineers. Pat will be suited up with the V2LD3 (a 2X flex) competing in both the senior & super senior divisions.

“I’ve competed in long drive events for many years and the Proforce V2 LD performs unlike any other shaft I’ve ever played. It provides an entirely new level of performance, especially for hitting the long ball,” says Dempsey. “I designed the shaft so the average weekend golfer with a swing speed of 90-105mph could use the shaft as well. It comes in 4 flexes so if your swing speed is 90mph or 150mph, the ProForce V2LD has got you covered.”

“The ProForce V2LD Series is an entirely new shaft concept and UST Mamiya engineers have created a graphite shaft that is easy to load. It has an explosive release of energy at impact that is like a bullwhip.” With the new black & pearl white color scheme, the ProForce V2LD is not only an explosive shaft – it’s great looking too.”

The ProForce V2 LD (at 48”), features a longer-than-standard length to target golfers looking for an explosive release of energy in a longer shaft. The parabolic shaft design —made two inches longer than standard with an increased parallel tip section — provides a perfect release for all golfers.

Overall, the ProForce V2LD is engineered to optimize performance with today’s 400cc to 460cc driver heads. Larger driver and fairway wood heads have increased hit-ability for many golfers, but in most of these larger heads, the head’s center of gravity (CG) has been moved further away from the center line of the shaft, a factor which places more stress and causes more twisting on the shaft. The V2LD’s low torque design provides the power and control needed, plus it prevents club heads from twisting open on impact, decreases the amount of back spin imparted onto the ball and enhances shot dispersion.
