Anyone Ever Golf in Hawaii?

4:55 AM

Artist credit: warrenkeating.com

Me and my big mouth...

So a couple of years ago, my wife and I, my in-laws and my sister-in-law and her husband were on a family vacation in the Florida Keys.

One evening, while lounging under a few palm trees and sipping on some rum-based concoction, my aforementioned gigantic mouth blurts out: "Hey, next time, we should go to Hawaii!"

The next day, my wife reminded me of how crazy my suggestion was: "Hawaii? You realize I'm pregnant, right? When will we have time to go to Hawaii with a baby?" "Relax," I told her. "Your step sister is pregnant too. It was late, I had a few in me - no one took me seriously. We're not going to Hawaii...trust me."

Fast forward to present day. It's midnight and I just spent the last several hours online booking our flights to Hawaii. Maui, to be exact. Turns out my sister-in-law not only took me very seriously, but considered my suggestion a splendid idea to boot (babies or no babies).

Anyone ever try to book a vacation to Hawaii from the East Cost of the United States with a toddler in tow? Making the trip all in one day is an impossibility (our son would be off the wall by the 8th hour in). So we have to break-up our flights.

Initially, I tried to fly into LA and then catch a non-stop flight to Maui the next day, but it turns out to be much cheaper to go to San Diego first, then to LA and then to Maui. Yep - a flight from LA to Maui was like $300 more per-person than a flight from San Diego to LA to Maui (same airline). WTF?

Of course, you can't go to San Diego with a toddler and not go to the zoo. So we're flying into San Diego two days before our flight to Maui (via LA) and going to the zoo (now I know why I was saving all my hotel points...geesh).

So, when we finally get to Hawaii, we'll have seven days to lounge under a few palm trees while sipping on a Mai Tai (AKA: a rum-based concoction) - which is just enough time for my fat yap to suggest we all go to Greece next.

All that being said, I'm pleased to report there will be time for a round of golf while I'm in Maui...But where should I play? Since we're staying on the west coast of the island, I feel like Kapalua Plantation (home of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions) should be high on my list. Anyone ever play there?

How about other suggestions? I'll probably only have time for one round so I want to make it count. But Kapalua is pushing $300 and this trip is costing me a small fortune already - perhaps there's another awesome course with lower greens fees? Don't get me wrong, I'll go a bit more in debt for Kapalua, but I just wanted to weigh all my options first.

My trip is in April - any suggestions beforehand would be greatly appreciated! And I plan on posting about my experience on whichever course I end up playing, so stay tuned for that too.

Wish me luck!

Could The Future of Golf Rely On Video Games?

5:00 AM

neuve

I grew up playing video games. I distinctly remember me and my friends from the neighborhood gathering at each others houses to play Atari, Intellivision and Coleco as soon as one of us got a new game. I remember the craze when Nintendo first hit stores, and I remember being the first of my friends to have it. It was like Christmas for everyone in my neighborhood!

All these years later, things aren't so different. I still play games myself sometimes, although my Playstation 3 is used equally as much by me for Netflix and Blu-Ray movies. But my kids...that's another story.

They love the video games just as much as I did when I was a kid. I have three different gaming systems in my house right now, not including anything portable. Seems silly, right? Well, not really. Each of them serves a bit of a different purpose. Besides a game system, my PS3, as mentioned earlier, is a Blu-Ray player and Netflix streamer. The Wii is for the more "active" games and is probably the most fun of the three systems. The XBox 360 is pretty much strictly for gaming. But I'll tell you what else the games are - the Wii specifically, was used as a tool to get my boys interested in the game of golf.

People freak out and think that video games have a negative effect on kids. Many people feel if kids see violence in a game, they're going to think violence is OK in real life. Well, I'm not saying these people are wrong, but if your kids play Grand Theft Auto for a few hours, then go out and steal a car and beat up a hooker...sorry, but it's not the game. You're failing as a parent. You've got bigger problems than video games.

Me, I've used my Wii to influence my kids. No, I didn't buy Call of Duty so I can get them to buy guns...although, it seems to have influenced me a bit. Rather, it started out with Wii Sports (a "sampler" game that comes with the Wii). Included in this game is a cartoon-like 9-hole golf course. But the idea that you use the controller as a club is what intrigued my kids, as well as myself which is why I bought the system to begin with. And guess what...it helped!

My boys had no interest at all in watching golf on TV. And even though I play golf, they didn't really seem to share my interest. That is, until they swung the controller on the Wii. Somehow, that seemed to open the door. Next thing you know, they want to go to a real driving range. Soon after, my oldest uses his birthday money to buy a starter set of clubs. The next season, we're out on the course. Now, my youngest boy is interested in buying his own set of clubs! And I have to say, a golf video game is partially responsible for this.

So what could this mean for the future of this sport? Could golf video games help influence kids to pick up a real driver rather than just a virtual one? Should the USGA or PGA take this into consideration and do more to work these games into the sports promotion? I don't have any real proof or statistics to show that a video game can influence this behavior, but I do know of two instances when it has.

Now it remains to be seen if golf does continue to hold my boys interest. For now, basketball is still first on the list for both, as well as baseball for one and soccer for the other. But the golf seed has been planted. And if it's true that video games do have this "effect" on kids, then why not use it to your advantage rather than just complain about it? Get them influenced by something positive rather than some "shoot 'em up" game. You never know, you may end up with a future playing partner for years to come!

Swing 'til you're happy, even if it's with a virtual club!

These irons are the longest stainless steel irons we have ever created and provide increased distance without compromising feel or performance. The lower, deeper CG makes the sweet spot more accessible and is in-line with where amateurs most commonly strike the ball on the clubface, generating longer consistent distance and improved accuracy.

A lower center of gravity is more closely aligned to where most players strike the ball, improving distance and accuracy.

Callaway Golf is a leading innovator in the world of high performance golf equipment, and the Diablo Edge is the longest set of irons the company has crafted to date. Providing increased distance without compromising feel or performance, the Diablo Edge series has earned the 2010 Golf Digest Hot List Gold Medal for Super Game Improvement Irons. A lower, deeper center of gravity creates a more accessible sweet spot, and is in line with where most players commonly strike the ball on the club face, generating longer, more consistent distance and improved accuracy.

A short, straight, hollow hosel and 360-degree Undercut Channel enhance feel and performance.

The club sole is designed to mitigate the effects of heavy and thin shots, deliver smooth turf interaction, and improve the impact location on the face for maximum distance. Callaway Golf's core technologies, such as VFT, S2H2, a 360-degree Undercut Channel, and Modified Tru-Bore work together to achieve an optimal balance of distance, feel, and playability.

Warranty
Callaway Golf warrants its golf clubs, components, and other products purchased from an authorized Callaway Golf retailer or distributor to be free of defects in material and workmanship for two years.

What if the PGA Tour Went Extinct?

4:55 AM

neuve

Remember the old philosophical question: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, would it make a sound? Well ponder this: If the PGA Tour were to disappear tomorrow, would anyone really care?

A couple years ago, I wrote about the economics of golf, and how the pro tours only contribute a measly 1% to golf's total economic impact.

So from a financial standpoint, the PGA Tour could dissolve overnight without much monetary backlash to the golf industry. The golf equipment and apparel machine would still be cranking-out merchandise to supply millions of weekend hacks throughout the world.

But for how long? With the tour defunct, wouldn't the average golfer begin to dwindle in numbers? Well, I guess that depends on how popular the tour is with the golfing masses to begin with. For example, a decade ago I would have been laughed at for even suggesting a post like this one - after all, the hero on tour was one of the most recognizable athletes in all of sports.

Ah, but today he's barley the shell of his former self and as a result, the PGA Tour has taken one giant leap back into obscurity. Perhaps more detrimental is that no one has taken his place. Want proof? Turn on ESPN any given Sunday an you'll see them lead the golf segment talking about Tiger's third-place finish, rather than the poor schlep who actually took home the trophy.

With no face to the organization and television ratings that are basically nonexistent, it makes you wonder if it's all worth the effort? Rolling into a new city every week and setting up shop on some corporate sponsor's dime (could have donated that money to build a new cancer wing at the local hospital or something); trotting out a B-list of tour pros to go through the motions in front of a sparse gallery of spectators; turning on the HD cameras that broadcast to an equally paltry television audience. One has to ask themselves: Does the ends justify the means?

Sure, if the PGA Tour were no longer, some diehard fans would be disappointed (not to mention some of our fellow golf bloggers) and local establishments near tour stops would miss the boost in sales. But the top pros would head over to the European Tour (which would subsequently be broadcast more frequently here in the U.S.) and golf life for you and me would pretty much remain unchanged.

Not many golfers I know are quitting because they stink - no sir, we just keep on playing no matter what the game throws at us. And perhaps that's the most fundamental point - We don't play this game because the PGA Tour is so great, we play it because golf is great (if anything, watching the scratch players gives us more of a complex).

So, what if the PGA Tour went extinct? As long as the European Tour added a stop at The Masters, I'd be happy. So perhaps I should re-phrase my question: If the PGA Tour went extinct, so what?

Adams Golf Women's a7OS Premium 14-Piece Complete SetDesigned exclusively for women, the premium Adams Golf Idea A7OS complete set includes everything golfers need to succeed on the course. The easy-to-hit Idea A7OS clubs are tailored to your skill level and busy schedule, making the game easier and more fun than ever.

The Idea A7OS set includes a complete collection of easy-to-hit woods, hybrids, and irons.

The set starts with a sleek aerodynamic driver designed to create less drag and airflow turbulence, resulting in a faster club head speed and more distance off the tee. High launching and lightweight, the driver's 460cc titanium clubhead and large hitting area maximize forgiveness, so you'll drive the ball well even on slight mis-hits. The set's patented 3 and 5 fairway woods, meanwhile, include a low-profile clubface that lowers the center of gravity, helping golfers skim shots off the fairway with amazing accuracy. The driver and fairway woods come with ultra-lightweight Graffaloy 45-gram graphite shafts.

The Idea A7OS set also comes with 4, 5, and 6 hybrids; 7, 8, and 9 irons; a pitching wedge; and a sand wedge. The award-winning clubs will glide through all kinds of turf conditions--from fairway to rough or sand--and get the ball up in the air before landing safely on the green. The hybrids include ultra-thin crowns that lower the center of gravity, along with thin faces that increase ball speed. The short irons counter with cambered soles and weighting systems built to optimize distance, gapping, and launch conditions. The hybrids and irons sport Graffaloy 50-gram graphite shafts, while all the clubs in the Idea A7OS set include premium soft-touch Winn grips--the most popular grip on tour.

The Idea A7OS complete set concludes with a mallet putter and cart bag. The mallet putter offers a soft feel and an alignment aid that makes it easy and accurate to line up your putts. The cart bag is also a keeper, with a 14-way top, integrated putter tube, and plenty of storage options, including seven pockets, a ball compartment, and a hidden valuables pocket. The cart bag's strap and trunk handles make it easy to tote the bag from your trunk to the cart.

The Idea A7OS complete set, which comes with eight matching head covers, is available in a variety of colors, including regatta, starry night, haze, sterling, champagne, black and white pinwheel, light blue mist, and classic bronze.
