The USGA and PGA of America initiated a new program last year and have carried it into 2012. Named “Tee it Forward,” this relatively new “program” is really no program at all. It’s common sense. And it requires virtually no math skills or imagination to implement. As the name suggests, the idea is to encourage most golfers to start playing a course that is more suited to the distances they actually hit the ball and the skill level they possess by teeing off from a set of tees forward from those they customarily use. The object is to shorten courses to a more realistic level of playability for the average golfer. The only hard thing about this idea is tossing aside your ego.
We all know the guys who insist on playing from the tips, no matter the slope or course rating. I know those guys. I used to be one of them. The Tee it Forward concept suggests that most of us have no business playing from the same set of tee blocks the pros play. The PGA and USGA tell us that playing a 7200 or 7300 yard course is equivalent to a professional playing from 8100 yards, or so. The pros don’t do that and neither should we. Most of us simply don’t hit the ball as far and certainly not as consistently as professionals.

Are you playing Aldila, or just graphite?
There is good reason why Aldila has led the golf shaft

industry in the last year. It’s continually on the edge of design and innovative technology. As of last week, Aldila has won both wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts on the PGA Tour 26 times in the past 30 weeks. According to the Darrell Survey, Aldila had 17 more wood shafts and 5 more hybrid shaft than the next leading shaft manufacturer at the Reno-Tahoe Open, led by the RID’d NV golf shaft.
Aldila has become the choice of many PGA professionals. Perhaps, thanks to Reverse Interlaminar Placement Technology™ (RIP). It transforms the shaft design from the inside out to maximize the high performance carbon fiber properties to lower torque and increase hoop stiffness for greater accuracy and shot control. Plus, its deadly accurate in driving distance.
Most golfers that have tried Aldila will say how it changed their trajectory, redefined how a power swing should feel, and overall improves the game. Its great for those trying to create a higher launch angle or increase swing speed because they come a full range of shafts and weights for the strong hitters or average golfers.
Aldila also won the hybrid shaft count at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and at the Cox Classic on the Nationwide Tour. At the end of major golf season, Aldila has 104 wins in the PGA Championship and the next closest competitors are at 91 and 79 for second and third places.
So, you decide. But the Tour numbers help speak for themselves…Aldila is here to stay and engineer golf shaft technology for the best success in your game.
UPDATE
It’s official — Tiger Woods announced that he is switching to the Nike Method Milled 001 Putter because of greens conditions at St. Andrews for the British Open tournament. According to Nike Golf tour field manager Rick Nichols, the Nike Method putter for TW matches the specifications of his old Scotty Cameron putter, with identical lie angle, a single alignment dot on the head and a blacked-out PING grip. The only difference in specs is a 1° less loft of 2.5°.
The Nike Method 001 Putter was designed with Tiger’s input two years ago, and has been a backup putter if the Scotty Cameron got damaged or wasn’t suitable for course conditions. Check out the links below to learn more about the Nike Method Putters and how it can change your game for the better!

You remember the 1987 R.E.M. song “It’s the End of the World As We Know It“? Well for today’s golfer, December 31, 2010, will be the end of the world as we know it in regards to wedges. What? Why? What are you talking about? I’m talking about the USGA decision to change the rule regarding the grooves on wedges. As of December 31, 2010, golf club manufacturers will no longer be able to produce wedges with large square grooves that most golfers have grown to love. The new grooves must be smaller and much shallower in comparison; about 30% smaller to be exact.
