Back to full time golf practice. My new Nebuloni shoes are on there way from Italy – My Scotty Cameron putter is on fire – the Ping i15 Driver is finally under control. I just need some decent weather to get rounds under my belt and I am confident my scores will tumble.
Tiger Woods is making an appearance soon – it will interesting watching how he copes with the media. A few lessons to be learnt there.
Anyway today is the start of a new era in my golfing career, the old plato is history and I’m jumping to the next one.
Ping i15 driver – Granted it was wind assisted but I have just crashed a 375yd drive on a par 5 leaving a 9 iron in. It has taken over a month to adjust to the club, I changed grip, hip swing and follow through to find the flight of the ball – but as I got nearer to the the perfect ball flight I could sense the distance was there. Now that I have grooved the swing the consistency is superb, accuracy better than I expected and the overall feel is one of driver satisfaction. A good friend of mine and top international amateur found the Ping i15 out-drove his trusted driver – I could tell he was taken aback by the extra 10 to 15 yards he was getting, This guy is respected as one of the finest strikers of the ball in the game. As the Ping i15 was a gift I felt obliged to use it, had I happened upon it I would Have tested it and decided it did not fit my swing and put it back in the rack. I am glad that it is my number one driver – now i’ve just got to get my putting form back.
For those of us fortunate to witness the 18 holes played by Gary Player v Arnold Palmer last week, it was amazing. Just how good were those guys in their prime? My tender years did not allow me to witness them but they are extraordinary golfers. Gary Player was and is famous for his black attire but did you notice the shoes. Yes, the shoes. I have heard many wonderful stories about shoes, i.e. I met a golfer the other day that by a stroke of good fortune found himself on the tee with the ‘Golden Bear’ himself. Absolutely in awe of the situation the amateur golfer asked for his picture to be taken with Jack Nicklaus and Jack, ever the gentleman, asked politely of the amateur to kindly return to the club house and find a clean pair of shoes. What’s the moral? standards- never ever let them slip below perfection. The round was played the pictures taken and the amateur had a story to last a lifetime. Anyway back to the shoes. Gary Player wears Nebuloni Shoes – in my opinion the finest golf shoes in the world. I wear Nebuloni Golf shoes and without exception other golfers comment on there quality and style. Remember you heard it from me Jackson Kneeshaw, Nebuloni Shoes are the best shoe on the golf course. Check them out @ www.Nebulonigolf.com
