Average Joe Long Drive - What is your current baseline average driver distance and what is your personal maximum distance you can control ?

I have recently started on my own personal journey to my maximum average driver distance. My current baseline after 2 days of swinging with 3 months off previous is 312 yards. My goal average driving distance is 350 yards, and I hope I can get there within the next 6-12 months.

I will be documenting this quest on my YouTube Channel.

As I go through this process, I am looking for ways to get YOU involved. In an ideal world, everyone would just have a launch monitor to document progress. But since this is not possible, I need to find another way to get everyone involved.

The launch monitors (Ernest Sports Es12 and Es14) I use are solid and not outrageously expensive at $199 and $600. Other launch monitor units sell for $5 to 10k and up. As I continue to train for distance and accuracy I will think of ways we all can hit our max distance together!

4 Strategies That Can Help You Enjoy Your Golf Game

When the sun is shining and you're hitting par on every hole, having fun comes naturally. Yet when the game is not going as well, can you still enjoy your golf game? We think so, and we want to offer you four strategies that we use to enjoy the links even when we may not be shooting at our best.

1. Remember, every game prevents a challenge - Every golf game has a challenge for the golfer who is listening. One day you might be great at putting; the next day, you might overshoot. Take your challenge for the game, welcome it, and work with it. It will teach you to be a better golfer.
2. Trust yourself - If you get frustrated by poor performance, you will only continue to perform poorly. Instead, take a step back and trust yourself that you have the skills to execute the shot well. You on't have control over everything -- for example, wind can take your shot in a different direction -- but you do have the skills to make the shot. Trust in yourself.
3. Detach from the final outcome - Of course, you want to win the game. However, if you are too attached to the outcome, then you will not enjoy the game if you think you will not win. Try to remain detached from winning and instead do the best you can to play well. You'll have more fun when you do this, and it can improve your score.
4. Commit to each shot - Golf is a game of trust. Don't second guess your shots. Commit to each and every one, and then follow through with your body. When you are confident and committed, your aim will improve.

What strategies do you use to relax and have fun when you are not golfing your best? Contact us and let us know. Thanks!

New Shock Wave Golf Polo Now Available!

There are thousands of places where you can buy a polo shirt. And I could have just thrown our logo on a standard polo shirt and called it a day. But, I wanted to offer a performance polo shirt that is comfortable, breathable and wearable. Most golf polo shirts I would only wear on the golf course, because they just don't work off the course. The Shock Wave polo is a BombTech golf private label polo shirt that is designed to maintain a relaxed but classic look that would fit for any activity.

It is my hope that the clean and stylish design gives you confidence on the tee and when you are out with your friends in town.

This design will be first of many!

Finding New Customers And How To Use Golf For Business

There is nothing quite like an early morning golf game on a workday. You get to enjoy the smell of fresh cut grass and putt around on a golf cart while enjoying a game you love. The slower pace of a golf game compared to other sports allow you time to talk with your opponents and build friendships. If you could just improve your golf score, you could make a living playing professionally. There are ways to play more often and make it part of your workday. Here’s how to use golf for business.

Getting Your Client’s Time

You might think the only way to find new business is at a customer’s business with a fancy presentation and flashy video. It is not. You can invite a prospective customer who enjoys golf out for an early morning game. When the two of you spend a morning golfing, you have this person’s attention and time. You will not want to make the entire game an extended sales pitch, but you can certainly bring up business over a snack at the club before returning to the office. Golf is a great way to get a hard to reach client to give you some of their valuable time.

Building Relationships

As a business owner, you know that price and quality are only part of the reason you do business with one company instead of another. In some cases, it is about the personal relationship you have with another firm. Playing golf with business associates is a great way to find new customers. You will find a lot out about each other and the things you have in common. This makes them more likely to business with your firm.

Trust Building

You do business with people you trust to come through in a pinch and act ethically at all times. You will learn a lot about each other’s ethics, integrity and sportsmanship on the golf course. On the golf course, it is your time to show a prospective client what a good sport you are and how much integrity you have. Never forget, you are a reflection on your business.

Before heading out to the course, you will want premium clubs and equipment. At Bomb Tech Golf, we offer the top-quality clubs and accessories that are sure to impress. When you are ready to put golf to work for you, contact us for the best products available.

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?
