Year after year the Golf Channel so called experts say that this young golfer or that young guy is the “NEXT GREAT PLAYER” or Next UP AND COMING GOLFER”. When I watch the golf channel I’ve noticed the likes of a Rory McILroy from Northern Ireland, Charles Swartzel from RSA, Ross Fisherand Martin Klimmer. These young guys are at least in contention or winning. In the states right now we take about Ricky Fowler possibly winning soon. Or Jamie Lovemark who just tied for 4th in the New Zealand Open. To me it looks like the European Tour has a leg up from the US Players. Is one tour better that the other who knows, it seems that younger players in Europe are not as afraid to win or just seem more comfortable at what their doing. Again slight edge to Europe and there young players. 

Last week was the PGA SHOW in Orlando, Florida where PGA PROS and golf vendors get together. What kicks off the show is DEMO DAY at Orange County National. Here golfers have a chance to hit the newest in golf equipment. The only one that was not at demo day or the show was TAYLOR MADE GOLF. With that said I had a chance to hit everything from Cleveland to Wilson. All the companies have made something for everyone in golf based on your playing abilty. The biggest thing I took away from both days of the show was that CLUB AND BALL Fits where the best way to go when selecting the right things for you as a golfer. If you are thinking about getting new equipment and are visiting a Dick’s or Golfsmith or Golf Galaxy always remeber that these stores take TRADE-INS. Also take the extra time to get fitted to make sure you have something that is right for you.

Hope that all viewers of my web site had a great holiday season. Lets focus a bit how we can improve our 2010 golf season. Try to come up a list when you have quiet time on things you would like to improve upon. Wether it be your Full-Swing or some aspect to your Short-Game. From there formulate how you expect this to get done (on your own or seeing a golf instructor). Time wise how much time will you have to get this done (family events, work and such). With this said, start small if you live in the northeast with SNOW maybe workout to get stronger wether at a gym or at home. Maybe buy a weighted golf club to swing and build up some strenght that way. Start to work on your GRIP or POSTURE you don’t need to hit balls to do that. Take your PUTTER out putt along the the edge of your carpet. Again do a lot of the smaller things to get going. 

Please leave us some feedback on the website or time you have spent with Kieran Mccarthy during a golf lesson.
