Do you play better golf in a group or by yourself?

Do you play better golf in a group or by yourself?

Back in my glory days I use to play golf everyday. I would say half the time I played by myself and the other half was with another golfer or a group. For me personally, I found that I shot my lowest scores when some pressure was on. Whether that meant playing with a group or in an actual match against someone. Although, I did have some low rounds by myself. I found myself more focused on shooting low when in a group, whereas when I played by myself I focused on quality shots and practice. I tend to try more shots and play less conservative when playing by myself as well.

Although their is no right answer to this question. I wanted to see what our Facebook fans thought. This is what they had to say.

DO YOU PLAY BETTER GOLF IN A GROUP OR BY YOURSELF?

Ben D. Stoneberg - By myself

Travis Campbell - I suck regardless of company

T Merck - Depends if I get to use the toe wedge with the group

Tim Johnson - Group

James Sameshima - Normally I play better on my own.

Steven J. LeJeune - With a group, if they are as good or better than me.

Ben Lampkin I play better when there's a bet!

Eddie Galvan - With a group.

Ray Kaufmann Jr. - Self, but that takes some of the fun out of it

Jeff Behounek - I tend to cheat by myself....

Jet Anthony Armstrong - By myself

Dave Raudenbush - I lose concentration by myself.

Ralph Parete - With a group

Kirby Oaks - With a group. I actually focus and also relax

Mike Hallee - Group if the talent is equal or better than me

Marty McDonald -Group

So, what do you think? Do you play better golf by yourself or with a group?

Golf Industry - Accountability

Posted by Tyler Sullivan on

Golf Industry - Whose fault is it?

Recently it seems that everyone is talking about how bad the golf industry is, whether you are a golf course, retail shop or equipment manufacturer. It appears that everyone is blaming the industry for their lack of growth and lack of success. Before I started BombTech Golf I was in sales for a variety of industries, from photocopiers to medical devices to geotechnical engineering products. I have seen it all, well until golf!

Each industry has their own challenges, just like golf. But someone is having success even in a shrinking or tough market in all those industries. So is golf any different? No, but it is the first time the large manufacturers are seeing or finally realizing the impact. The big OEM's are finding out that a new product launch ever 2 months is not the answer. Flooding the market with equipment and dropping prices, well guess what that doesn't work in any industry. Whether you are selling photocopiers or medical devices.

Golf courses are closing too. Why? Because too many were built when no golfers were demanding it. Similar to the housing bubble that burst over the last few years. Basic supply and demand.

Yes, the golf industry is not growing every year, but anyone or any company can be successful when the markets are growing. The golf market is still MASSIVE to say the least, at roughly 25 million golfers in the United States alone. It is those companies and people in golf that are accountable for their services or product that are successful. Whether you are a small pro shop, a golf pro giving lessons or an equipment manufacturer it is possible to be successful when things aren't perfect.

This accountability holds true for any industry. You can blame Tiger Woods, the golf industry, internet sales and your sales reps, but it comes down to you as the owner to be accountable for your business and not blame it on any other outside factors.

Once you do this for your business and even your golf game, you will be successful and even play better golf. Don't blame the wind, the grass length, the golf industry. Take a look at what you offer s a service or product and make it better or just keep blaming everything else.

Remember, someone is shooting lower scores than you and someone is making it in a "tough" industry.

For BombTech, it is about YOU! Because your support has allowed the company and I to grow in a down industry. Thank you for being on our team and believing in our products and services.

This video supports it well! Jon Taffer is a legend!

Step Up Your Game With Custom Fairway Woods By BombTechGolf

Posted by Tyler Sullivan on

An Overlooked Mistake Most Amateurs Make

Have you ever thought about getting your fairway woods customized to improve your overall game? Well, you should start thinking about it, and get it done with BombTechGolf before your next tee time! I've found that most amateur golfers have three myths buried in their minds when it comes to their golf clubs.

They are content with their, "Off the Rack," clubs, and assure themselves that they need to work on technique and not worry about any club customization.
They think that buying new clubs is the answer. They buy any new, brand name fairway wood, thinking it will help their slice or draw. Or maybe even give them better contact and power when trying to reach the green in two.
Most amateurs believe custom fitting is only for the pros or golfers with low handicaps. A lot of people don't even consider it!
While learning and practicing better technique is something every golfer should do, and getting a cutting edge fairway wood won't hurt you either, there's something else golfers can do that will all together help their mid-range game the most. The answer, my fellow golfers, is getting yourself fitted for custom fairway woods. No matter what level of golfer you are, BombTechGolf can successfully improve your mid-range game by customizing your fairway woods. It's actually been said that the higher handicap you are, the more in need of custom woods you will be.

Problems that Arise by Using Clubs that Aren't Fitted

With your regular or brand new fairway woods that aren't fitted to you, a lot of variables come into play that you may not think about. The shaft may be too long, making your stance at address automatically more upright or further away from the ball. Before you even swing the club you have already hampered your chances at making a good golf swing.

Another issue is shaft stiffness. Your regular woods, or newly purchased ones, may have the stiffness you think you need, but without getting custom fairway woods, you are just guessing. This incorrect stiffness of the shaft again will stifle your golf swing before you even take the club out of the bag.

What to Expect When Getting Custom Fairway Woods

Besides the fact that a lot of golfers think that only the pros should get custom fit clubs,(which is absolutely not the case), they also don't want to spend the time it takes to customize, or know how to go about getting this done for themselves.

BombTechgolf utilizes a state of the art manufacturing process, using a C455 carpenter maraging face plate plasma, that's welded to the body. This alteration will allow better hits out of the rough, and bad lies. Another great thing is if you're not 100% satisfied they will exchange your product for a better fit, or return for your money back.

Now that you know what custom fairway woods can do for you, do yourself and your golf game a favor, and get your woods custom fitted. To get started, check out BombTechgolf's website, or you can contact us here.

Think you're not good enough for custom golf clubs? Think again!

Posted by Tyler Sullivan on

"Why would I get custom clubs? I'm nowhere near good enough to justify that..."

Maybe it's not your game that's the problem! Maybe it's your clubs. If every swung a club exactly the same way, picking out golf clubs would be easy. But if you've watched more than 9 holes of golf in your life, you know everyone's swing is different. You wouldn't pick golf shoes that are two sizes too small, would you? So don't pick an off-the-rack set of clubs that aren't made for you.

A lot of golfers end of slicing or hooking because the length, grip size or shaft flex don't fit them. Length and lie angle are easy culprits of a bad game. They determine how you hold your body before you even take a swing. But even things like shaft flex can mess with your game. If a shaft is too stiff, some golfers will end up favoring their right side in order to give the ball some lift.

A regular club fitting takes about an hour. Yes, it's a little long. But that's the only way to address all the variables in your clubs. think of it like a physical for your golf game. The only way to know what's wrong with your equipment is to check it all out.

Golf is not just a game. If you're even considering custom golf clubs in the first place, golf means something special to you. Custom clubs are a long-term investment. You spend hours playing...do you really want to do it with clubs that make your game worse?

Check out our line of custom clubs, you'll be glad you did. Play better, guaranteed. We hand-make all our clubs and sell them directly to you, with no middle man. that means better materials without the price markup. Contact us to find out how we can help you get the most out of your game.

Five ways to improve your long distance golf game

Posted by Tyler Sullivan on

Five ways to improve your long distance golf game

If you've been trying to improve your golf game, you'll get a lot of mileage from learning how to improve those long distance drives. There are a number of ways to improve your long game, including these 5 tried-and-true tips.

1. Maintain a relaxed posture - Keeping your body and mind relaxed can be the key to getting more distance out of your shots. When you are relaxed, you can get more speed in your swing. This leads to greater distance. When your muscles are tense, you cannot derive the same speed and thus your shots will not have the same impact.

2. Widen your stance on long shots - Taking a slightly wider stance on long shots gives you a wider base of support. This can increase your stability and balance, two essentials for getting in a really good strike on the ball.

3. Swing rhythmically - A rhythmic swing, which opens up on the backswing and closes at the point of impact, is the key to achieving a long drive. Practice this move until you develop muscle memory and you will see it pay off in play.

4. Get the most power from your long distance golf drivers: A good driver will do wonders for your golf game, but only if you know how to maximize its power. Work on moving the club with your whole body, and not just your hands, to increase your power.

5. Make driving range time really count: Get the most out of your driving range time by switching between your long range clubs every few swings. Instead of aiming for the same spot each time you shoot, vary your target. This will improve your ability to drive the ball down the green.

With regular practice, these tips will improve your long distance game.
