Ping prides itself as the most forgiving club in golf. Has the Ping G15 continued that tradition?Among the giants of the golf industry, PING has always remained one of the quietest in the business. You never see commercials on TV. They only have a select number of pros which they endorse. They rarely even release new clubs. It seems like the word "hype" just isn't a part of PING's vocabulary.But something felt different when PING...more

We all know that golf is not a contact sport, but that doesn't mean we can't hurt ourselves while playing it. I would imagine that many (if not most) long-time players have had back pain due to playing at some time or another. I know I have!For me, personally, my adventures with back pain were caused by not warming up properly before taking that first big swing. This is why it's important to do some stretching before you begin play. Cold muscles do not like being twisted, which is exactly what happens when you swing that club.If you have back pain often while playing, you should visit a doctor before it gets any worse, and it truly might do just that. You may have a stress fracture or you may need to use a brace in the future. Chronic back pain needs professional assessments.For other players, one of the best avenues for finding good stretching activities is the Internet. There are literally dozens upon dozens of good, reliable sources to help you get the most effective warm up before play. But do keep in mind that you (the individual) will determine the proper warm up. What I mean by that is that older players will need a warm up that is less strenous than one...more

A golf cart is a very important purchase if you are a regular golfer and like to play for long hours. Walking for such a long time can be tiresome and when you have to carry the entire golf gear with you. A cart can help save you all the fatigue while you enjoy the game. Buying a golf cart is the first step but maintaining it so that it does not deteriorate in condition is more important. The good news is that maintenance is quite easy and one does not have to put in extra ordinary effort to ensure that the vehicle remains in good condition. It is important to carry out regular maintenance every week and do a random check if all the parts are working properly. If you golf more than the average person does, then it is advisable to carry out maintenance twice a week. You also need to check the batteries, engine, breaks and tires of the golf cart for any signs of degradation and dirt regularly. Keeping these things clean will enhance the performance of the vehicle and give it a longer life. The batteries of the golf cart also need to be checked for water regularly as the battery derives power from the water source and operating the vehicle when battery is out of water it can damage...more
