GOLF TIP: Staying connected
GOLF TIP: Staying connected
As most golfers swing, the arms move too fast and thus get ahead of the body motion. A good drill to practice is to swing the club in slow motion trying to keep the grip end of the club pointing toward the center of your chest.

Industry Retail Group Supports Folds of Honor Foundation and Calls for Retailers and Retail Professionals to Join the Cause
Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) March 20, 2012
Industry Retail Group, Inc. (IRG) (http://www.industryretail.com), a leading provider of retail-centric, broadband-based applications and services, has selected Folds of Honor Foundation as its charity of focus beginning in 2012.
Through scholarships and other assistance, Folds of Honor Foundation gives back to the spouses and children of soldiers killed or disabled in service to our country. It provides healing, hope and an opportunity for dreams to be realized. The Folds of Honor Foundation was founded in 2007 by Major Dan Rooney, a former F-16 pilot, golf course owner, PGA Professional and USGA member. A major in the?Oklahoma?Air National Guard and a decorated military aviator, Rooney has served three combat tours in Iraq. Since its inception, Folds of Honor has awarded more than 2,600 educational scholarships.
Gabe Martinez, CTO of IRG and United States Air Force veteran said, Were financially supporting Folds of Honor Foundation because we value their work, and they are clearly making a difference. Were taking it a step further though, and asking retailers across America to join us in this effort. This includes both retail companies and retail professionals – everyone can do their part. Im proud to support this fine organization. The greatest impact would be if retailers collectively supported Folds of Honor Foundation as an act of giving back to military families. I have full confidence many retailers will join us.
Retailers and retail professionals can donate directly to Folds of Honor Foundation on their website, at http://www.foldsofhonor.org/join-mission. For more information on how to partner with IRG in this cause, please visit http://www.industryretail.com/folds-of-honor-foundation.html.
Folds of Honor Foundation states that over 700,000 soldiers have been killed or wounded in the ongoing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan–Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom and Operation New Dawn. These service members’ families exceed the national average of 2.5 dependents per household. As of January 1, 2012, over one million dependents have been adversely affected by multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. More than 87% of the dependents affected by the recent wars do not qualify for federal scholarship assistance. While the federal government provides some support for these families, it cannot succeed alone without proactive civilian organizations to?assist.
About the Folds of Honor Foundation
More than one million dependents have been affected by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and 87 percent of them do not qualify for federal scholarship assistance.?Folds of Honor, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a mission to empower deserving military families with educational support and opportunities, is helping fill that gap by providing educational scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving our great nation.
?
Major Dan Rooney, a PGA Professional, USGA member and former F-16 military pilot with the Oklahoma Air National Guard, founded the Folds of Honor Foundation in 2007 following his second of three tours of duty in Iraq. While a passenger on a commercial flight, Major Rooney witnessed an event that would profoundly change his life. As the plane landed, the pilot announced, Ladies and gentlemen, we have an American hero on board Corporal Brock Bucklin – and his twin brother, Corporal Brad Bucklin, is accompanying him home from Iraq. As a sign of respect, please remain seated while Corporal Bucklins family receives him in his final homecoming. Major Rooney watched through the window of the plane as the flag-draped casket was lowered. He saw a family waiting for Brock, and a little four-year old boy waiting for his father. This tragic homecoming inspired Major Rooney to create the Folds of Honor Foundation.

Buying Someone A Golf Gift
So you’re thinking of buying someone a golf gift. Well this is more of a plea than an article because I am going to ask you to consider a few things before you go out and buy a golf gift for a friend.
In this article I am going to explain three different types of golf gift that you can give to a golfer.
Obviously the golf gift that you ultimately buy will depend on your budget but whatever your budget is there are still three categories of gifts. These are:
Trash Golf Gifts.
Golf Gifts that are absolute rubbish and that the golfer will neither appreciate nor use. Don’t waste your money on this type of golf gift.
Perfectly Acceptable Golf Gifts.
These are the golf gifts that are practical will be appreciated and will be used but are not long lasting. These type of golf gifts are very acceptable and inexpensive. They are also very safe to give if you are uncertain.
Special Golf Gifts.
Unusual golf gifts that are both welcome and sought after fall into this category. Usually the more expensive type items which for some reason the golfer won’t buy for himself (ladies are included in that “him” but for the ease of this article I shall simply refer to all golfers as “him”).
Trash.
As a golfer I simply cringe when I receive these well intentioned gifts from friends. Please do not misunderstand the golfer in me. Yes the thought does count, and for that reason is appreciated, but seriously what am I going to do with a gimmick golf ball that explodes on impact?
I mean these things don’t even look real and after one shot my gift is no more!
Or the golf ball that squiggles all over the place when you try to putt it. It’s not funny for even one putt.
Other items that fall into this category are those golf gifts that are sold by the large discount houses. You know the ones – there are 6 golf pegs, one cheap golf ball and a cheap pitch repairer and stroke counter presented on a cardboard based wrapping with some sort of brand name like Pro Golf or something just as silly.
Perfectly Acceptable Golf Gifts
Most people should buy gifts that fall in to this category and you will never go wrong. These golf gifts should be purchased from your local pro shop. Why the local pro shop? Well because the Pro shops don’t usually sell gimmicks or rubbish.
What to buy?
What’s your budget?
Just about anything in the shop will be more than acceptable. Golf balls are always acceptable golf gifts but please, please find out what type of ball your recipient plays with. One ball of the preferred type is better than a sleeve of three balls that the player doesn’t use. If he is a new golfer and has no preference then fine just go ahead and buy a perfectly acceptable golf ball. Let your budget determine which one. In fact if he is totally new to golf buy as many cheap ones as your budget will allow as they will probably all land up in the water anyway.
Golf shirts also make great golf gifts as do pegs, pitch mark repairers, pencils, club covers for woods and irons and a lesson with a pro.
Ask the pro for advice and if he happens to know the person you are buying for all the better.
Special Golf Gifts.
Golfers are strange animals and will often want something desperately but not buy it for some obscure reason. This gives you a golden opportunity to get that special golf gift and be remembered forever.
Items that fall into this category are usually slightly bigger ticket items – but not always. Anyway the phrase “big ticket item” is relative and what may seem expensive to some is quite acceptable to others.
Special golf gifts would include a specific golf bag, a set of clubs, an individual club, a specialty club (rescue irons are the rage at the moment), a golf cart, a golf “trundler”, and all weather gear.
These are just a few of the things that would be treasured and of course you will be remembered and thought of every time the player plays uses your special golf gift.
What prompted me to write this article?
As a keen golfer I have received thousands of golf gifts over the years – most have fallen under the “Trash” category from well intentioned friends who have no idea about golf.
My golf buddies invariably give me the odd golf ball and a bottle of wine (red please and always appreciated!).
But recently I was given something that I was not even considering and, to be honest, would never have bought for myself – a wooden putter. At first I thought my wife had gone crazy but once I started using this beautiful golf gift I was over the moon.
It is without a doubt the most treasured and useful golf gift I have ever received.
So there you have it – three different categories of golf gifts that will help you buy the type of gift that will either be thrown away, or cherished and used with fond memories of you. If you are ever really stuck for a golf gift then golf balls are probably the safest bet.
As a keen golfer I would prefer all my gifts to be golf related. To see the best gift I ever received go to this page and see why I am so ecstatic.
