How to find golf club discounts

When you are able to take advantage of golf club discounts, you will be saving money and feeling terrific about your recent purchase. There are so many stores, including both retail and wholesale, that offer golf clubs. You may be asking yourself a number of questions. How will I ever find the best price? Who is telling the truth when every store claims to have the lowest price? What if I don’t have a lot of cash, but I really want to purchase a set of golf clubs for myself or someone that I know? These are all good questions and they can be answered very simply. Shop around.


The first place to search for golf club discounts would be a clearance sale at your local department or golf specialty store. Throughout the year, especially during the close of golf season or outdoor recreation, many stores begin to offer special deals on their golf clubs. The reason behind this method is that everyone knows, during winter, it becomes more difficult to take that trip to a golf course.


If there aren’t any bargains at the local department store, stop by the local golf course and ask if they have any used golf clubs that they would like to sell. A golf course must constantly keep the newest, most innovative pieces of golf equipment available to their customers. If they are in the process of replacing old golf equipment, or simply have some extra clubs in the back, they may be willing to sell them for a bargain price. When using this method, be sure that you don’t buy a product that is broken or badly damaged. If done correctly, this is a terrific way to get terrific golf club discounts.


If you’re still in the market for golf club discounts, but just cannot seem to find the perfect items, check out the classified section of your local newspaper. This a terrific place to find almost anything, so don’t overlook the possibility of finding the perfect golf club discounts in your own neighborhood. If the classifieds aren’t working in your favor, check out internet auction sites but be on the lookout for shipping and handling charges. Because golf clubs are heavy, you may be faced with a hefty shipping bill.


If all else fails, shop around at flea markets and garage or yard sales. Many people are looking to clear out some previously used golf equipment and you may just find a terrific opportunity for golf club discounts right before your eyes.

The magic of the right forearm

"In essence, bending and straightening the Right Elbow will raise and lower the left arm and/or cock and uncock the left wrist without bending, flattening, or cocking the right wrist. Right elbow action either powers and/or controls all three elements of the Three Dimensional Impact, (downward, outward, and forward)." Homer Kelley


But when combined with the bending backward of the right wrist the clubshaft and right forearm fall into line with one another. This is absolutely crucial in delivering a fully supported club into the ball.


"With this "inline" relationship of loading the club and Right Forearm it is mandatory that Hitting or Swinging it is the Right Forearm - not just the right hand and/or clubshaft - that must be thrown, driven, into Impact. Always, for all procedures, the Right Forearm is positioned "on Plane" - pointing at the Plane Line as the Angle of Attack." Homer Kelley


"The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the Clubshaft must make throughout the Stroke. The "Angle of Approach" position of the Right Forearm show the precise Cross-Line direction the Forearm must take through Impact. So the Right Forearm must leave - and precisely return - to its own Fix Position." - Homer Kelley


For a drill, take a club in your right hand and hold it horizontal to the ground. Now lower the Right Forearm and clubshaft to a table top. You'll see that both the Right Forearm and clubshaft are in one line. Now move the Right forearm back and forth making sure that it does not leave the table. This is called Right Forearm tracing.


Now bend the right wrist backward and you'll notice that the clubshaft and Right Forearm are once again in line but this time they form a "wedge". Move this assembly back and forth on the table. You now have a precision assembly and the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.


The goal with this drill is to make you aware of what the Right Forearm and clubshaft should do during the stroke. When the clubshaft and Right Forearm are in the same alignment you have a positive force into Impact, lag pressure, and a sound that is unmistakable!
