Am I Good Enough For Custom Clubs?

Yet another misconception within the minds of the general golfing public. Many players don't think they have the skill level necessary to benefit from custom fit golf clubs. The truth tells a much different story!

Most professional golfers have such refined swings that they would be able to play well with ANY club you handed to them. Now, they may not like the club you give them, but they still have their swing mechanics to rely upon, which are basically second nature to them.

For the rest of us, an ill-fitted club is a receipe for disaster in the long run! We DON'T have the deeply engrained swing mechanics to offset the ill-fitted equipment. For us, using clubs that are built around our swings is an absolute must! There are very few amateur players that can pick up "any old club" and hit consistent, solid golf shots with it time and time again. There is a certain mix of golf club characteristics (ie: length, total weight, swingweight, grip size, clubhead design, shaft flex, etc) that gives each of us the best chance to hit consistent golf shots over and over. If we stray too far outside of the boundaries of those certain characteristics, our ability to hit the ball well dramatically decreases.

Yet, the majority of golfers today have done just that! Without realizing it, they are already playing with equipment that strays way outside their "optimal mix of golf club characteristics". That is what mass-produced, off-the-rack golf clubs give you. A mix of club characteristics that doesn't fit your swing or your game.

You need custom fit golf clubs MORE than a touring professional needs them. You stand to gain much more then they do.

Below, you'll find extensive information on leading custom fitted golf club articles and products to help you on your way to success.

Purchasing Golf Cart Covers
By Chuck Brusser
If you're going to purchase a new cart, then you'll probably want to consider purchasing one of the many types of cart covers that are available. Golf cart covers not only protect your cart investment, but offer a range different features and purposes depending on which type of cart cover you choose.

If you will be storing your cart indoors, such as in a garage or other covered area, you may not need a whole cart cover, as your cart will be protected from the elements. However, even if your cart will be stored underneath a structure of some type, if it is not fully enclosed you may still wish to get a cart cover so that your cart is protected from the wind and sun.

Even moderate amounts of wind and sun exposure can age your cart more significantly than you may imagine. If you'd like your cart to stay bright and keep the fabric and paint from getting faded, one of the best ways to accomplish this is by protecting your cart with a cart cover.

Though quality cart covers can be somewhat expensive, at a couple to a few hundred dollars for nicer covers, it is well worth the price if you'd like to keep your cart like new. In addition to cart covers, there are cart windshields, cart rain covers and cart rain hoods to meet every weather condition and golfing need.

Golf cart windshields are see-through sheets of durable plastic that attach to the top, front portion of a cart and hang down to cover the entire front of the vehicle. Golf cart windshields attach along the top and bottom sides. Some models of cart windshields attach to the side supports as well. These can be handy devices for cutting down on the amount of wind that passes through the cart.

Golf cart rain covers can be used as covers for parked carts, or as extra protection from rain while operating the cart. These are a nice way to keep rain off of passengers if it starts sprinkling. Golf cart rain covers can be folded and stored in a compartment of the cart for easy application as the need arises.

For your clubs, there are bag rain hoods that can keep your clubs from getting wet. For the most part, these are simply durable plastic bags with elastic at one end, similar to a shower cap. The elastic holds snugly to the top of the club bag and keeps your precious clubs fro being ruined by water damage.

For a list of cart cover retailers, try doing an internet search for cart covers, but be sure to include some additional information so that your search results are as relevant to you as possible. For example, if you already know which brand or model of cart cover you want, be sure to include the information in your search of the internet.
