It
helped that I worked at a golf course and might play 9 holes of golf
for about $ 4. Today no one wants to fork out $ 40 for a round of golf
just to be miserable at their score, however a quick look around at
people that you might play with shows that disappointment abounds when
it comes to how golfers feel about how they have played any give round.
The most fascinating thing about the game of golf is the number of golf training aids which have been introduced in the last few years. Because beginning golfers see or think that the pro uses a particular item, they think that they will see the same results if they buy that same product. Perhaps my memory is not the best but I don't think we saw so many golf devices hitting the marketplace some 30 years ago.
Here is something new for me. I have actually downloaded an App on my wife's brand-new tablet that has some 15,000 mapped out golf courses combined with GPS. As you are playing a round of golf, this device combined with App tells you how far you have struck the ball and how far you are away from the green.
The item that I'm considering today is called a golf launch monitor. I am not looking at a single brand or model because if you check them out, you will see prices varying from about $ 150 to several thousands of dollars. Essentially what a golf launch monitor does (some people call this a ball launch monitor) is to tell you the launch angle of the golf ball off of the club. A few of the more economical models connect just below the grip on your golf club and will give you about a half dozen different data points such as clubhead speed, swing plane, tempo of your swing, face angle, and where you hit the ball on the club.
Even better, depending on the golf launch monitor that you are looking at and with the suitable App, the device records your swing will transfer information immediately to your smartphone or tablet. Thanks to the golf launch monitor you know where your swing currently stands and what you might need to do to change it for the better.
