New Golf Technology,,, Who Failed...
Posted: Apr 10, 2008 | 8:47 PM PST
Par 4 398yds
4 guys with all the newest golf stuff,
so 4 shots go off the tee, all in the fairway, OK.
each person has shots of 150,135,120,110 to the pin.
the thing now is to all get on the green, then 2 putt.
whether your the guy out 150 or in close, they still all
have to convert and putt out to make par.
so for most golfers they should be able to do that, Right...
it all comes down to getting those shots on and in.
but, guys will miss the greens, chunk the ball and 3/4 putt.
and post up a 90+ and say I think I need a new driver...lol
technology got a little better, but what never changed and
failed was the golfers... his mechanics, commitment and the
ability to hit the ball consistently and make putts.
we are a society of gimmicks, deals, and quick fixes.
just look at any golf mag from 10yrs ago till now and
it's hit the ball straighter, cut 5 strokes now, buy this.
golf didn't change and neither did you, that's what happened.
golf is not an easy game, and there is nothing you can buy
to make yourself score better, but yourself.....
you dictate how well you will play this game with your thoughts,
commitments and approach to its every facet. there are no easy
ways to get better except how the pros did it... WORK...
technology got a little better, it was us who failed to catch up.

Technology has improved the problem has been not the technology or for even some the work ethic. Most amateur golfers don't know how to use the new technologies in analytics and equipment available to them to improve their game. In that case it doesn't matter how much they spend it's not going to help.

FYI...I just came across this interesting site http://www.golfbert.com they're giving away a trip for four to Hilton Head for anyone interested. They have some interesting things happening there.
