Ball Brite WINNERS


We would like to thank all of our readers that took the time out of their busy schedules to take the time and tell us how they think a clean golf ball can help improve their game. We could also like to give a very big thank you to everyone at Ball Brite that made this contest possible. For more information about Ball Brite visit http://www.ballbrite.com

Here is what our winners had to say!

“A clean golf ball is a must! While only certain course conditions allow you to "lift, clean, and play", it's important to have a clean ball throughout play. The dirt/mud, even a blade of grass, will alter the flight of the ball or the roll on the green. Even on a dry day, you should always wipe your balls clean before driving and putting in order to obtain optimum performance.”

Jane B, Colorado


“When I play with a clean golf ball I keep the number of strokes down. When the ball is clean it flies through the air a lot better. It is also better around the greens. “

Ray C, New Jersey


“I have played golf for many years and it was within the last several months I have come to realize something that has knocked anywhere from 3-5 strokes off my score. The better the condition of the ball the better the ball grips the club face. This has cut down on the number of slices I have and reduces the severity of the slice. I have always just wiped the ball with my towel but a ball cleaner. I want one.”

Les S, Florida


“I feel that a clean golf ball can improve my game by keeping my ball flight pure and allowing my approach shots to sit and spin as I desire. As a golfer who never cancels a round due to rain, it is important to have a quick, reliable way to keep my golf balls clean and ready.”

Anson A, Georgia


“A clean ball can help your game in different ways.

B all spin increase
E nhance putting roll
S trike contact better with the club
T rajectory improve.”

Anthony B, Puerto Rico


“Although a clean golf ball radiates a special energy of it own, it is the process of cleaning the ball that has the potential to help improve your game. Golf, like life, offers the situations for the mind to do what it does best: "go and stay in the past or the future." We hold the thought of the missed three-footer or hook in the woods as readily as we imagine on the 10th tee: "I could shoot the round of my life," and then wonder: "how the hell did I get on this bogie carousel? The "Now" or "zone" is thought to be only available to the best in the world. Relief from the stress of the past and the future can be realized by everyone simply by listening to one breath at a time whenever you don't need the mind. A round of golf offers plenty of opportunities for getting in touch with your own energy as you are watching other shots, the time between shots and (I am finally getting to the point!) washing your golf ball. I share an ancient technique for finding the zone in my book, "Peace and Par - Enjoying Golf in the Now". amazon.com.”

Michael S, New Hampshire


“A Clean golf ball is the best kind of golf ball! I just don’t feel right when my golf ball is dirty. It is all mental for me and a clean golf ball gives me the best results for my game.”

Dan L, Florida


“If I don’t have a clean golf ball I never know where it is going to go. Even the slightest amount of debris can cause a golf ball to veer off course and land in a water hazard, sand trap, or even some ones house or car! With a clean ball there is a clean straight flight that I know I can count on.”
Mark T, Kentucky


“Who likes a dirty ball? Seriously…”

Larry R, Florida


“I always keep my clubs, cleats, and golf balls clean because it feels like I am playing with brand new gear every time I am on the golf course. Have you ever played with old gear? It just is not the same.”

Thomas R, Florida


“A clean golf ball can help with optimizing distance, spin, and accuracy because there are so many variables that can bog down your golf game. When you play golf with a clean ball it eliminates some of the variables that can be improved for a lower overall score.”

Dana N, Florida

Acushnet works hard to put an end to the sale of counterfeit golf merchandise.



Decrease Text Size

Acushnet Company officials have reported that Gary Bellchambers a mastermind behind a large-scale criminal conspiracy that involved selling bootleg golf equipment has plead guilty in a London court to conspiracy, counterfeiting, and other various charges.

Potentially millions of dollars worth of fake golf equipment was moved before a local Trading Standards office conducted an investigation into a fraudulent eBay business. Bellchambers and eight other defendants are all being charged with various crimes.

The 45-year-old Bellchambers will be sentenced in the near future while two of his co-conspirators, Keith Thomas, 49, and Chris Moughton, 56, also admitted guilt, have not been sentenced and six other defendants are currently on trial in Snaresbrook Crown Court in London.

An eBay official reported that this conspiracy is one of the largest counterfeit productions discovered on their web site.

Acushnet, which is the mother company for Titleist, FootJoy and Cobra brands, continues a constant presence online by monitoring multiple platforms where unauthorized dealers sell their products.

Back in 2006, Acushnet found several unauthorized dealers located in the London borough of Havering on eBay and conducted an internal investigation, and alerted local law enforcement.

London law enforcement looked into the complaint and uncovered a network that spread throughout the United Kingdom, Australia, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and the United States.

Acushnet Trademark Manager Lisa Rogan released the statement, "This is an historic case not only for the golf manufacturers, but for all brand owners who must combat the increasing global problem of online counterfeit products," and "The sale of fake and unauthorized golf products damages the reputation of our brands and impacts our customers around the world. We have a worldwide team of associates who aggressively attack this growing issue, and we will continue our vigilant commitment to protect our brands and customers by continuously monitoring internet sales and websites."

Acushnet has alerted local and federal authorities around the globe over the past several years which has resulting in arrests, convictions, and the removal of millions of dollars worth of counterfeit products from commerce.

TaylorMade Performance Labs Now on Facebook and Twitter

TaylorMade Performance Labs Now on Facebook and Twitter

Fans and Followers to Receive News, Updates, Fitting Tips, and Special Offers from Golf’s Ultimate Fitting Experience

SAN DIEGO, CA. (September 21, 2009) – TaylorMade Performance Labs, the premier custom golf club fitting company, announced today that it has joined popular social networking sites Facebook and Twitter in an effort to keep golfers abreast of company news, updates and provide fitting tips from their certified PGA professionals. In addition, the company is offering 50% discount on the standard fitting fee through the end of September at any of the six U.S. locations when consumers sign up to follow TMPL at both sites and mention this special social network discount.

TMPL’s twitter name is “taylormadepl” and its Facebook page can be accessed by searching “TaylorMade Performance Labs.”

“Our goal is to streamline our company news and make interesting content specific to custom fitting readily available to the consumer,” said TMPL President Herb Meistrich. “We will also be offering special promotions for discounted fittings and leverage the experience of our master club fitters to provide golfers with instructional and fitting tips to improve their game.”

Since 2004, TaylorMade Performance Lab’s certified professionals will fit men, women and junior golfers of all ages and abilities to a custom set of TaylorMade® golf clubs using an exclusive technology previously available only to Tour professionals.

To date, TaylorMade Performance Labs has six U.S. locations: The International in Boston, The Four Seasons Resort in North San Diego, The Desert Springs Marriott in Palm Springs, The Hyatt Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, Olympia Fields Country Club in Chicago and Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, GA. There are also two international locations in South Africa and Dubai.

Using motion capture technology – the same technology used to make today’s video games and movies – 34 reflective markers are placed on strategic points of the golfer’s body as well as on the shaft and head of the fitting club to capture a number of swings with the driver, iron , wedge and putter. Six special high-speed cameras detect the reflectors and display a three-dimensional computer-animated image of the customer viewable from every angle, allowing the pro to make accurate critiques and recommendations. The two and one-half hour custom fitting experience includes recommendations for a driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, putter and even the correct golf ball.

Following the swing analysis and club recommendations, demo clubs are built on-site with the customer’s correct swing specifications and the player can then validate the system’s recommendations on the driving range.

New custom TaylorMade clubs built to recommended specifications are shipped directly from TaylorMade’s headquarters in as little as 24 hours.

GREG NORMAN COLLECTION DEVELOPS EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY SET TO LAUNCH SPRING 2010



Greg Norman Collection's new polo will...
improve performance
&
promote an overall sense of physical well being
The revolutionary ION 75 Titanium technology is a result
of the popular "minus ion" belief.
As standard, the new Ion 75 Titanium
GNC polos are made from superior performance fabric,
designed with added luxury and style.


GREG NORMAN COLLECTION DEVELOPS EXCLUSIVE
PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY SET TO LAUNCH SPRING 2010


NEW YORK (September 17, 2009)--Greg Norman Collection, a leader in golf-inspired sportswear, introduces a brand new technical advancement, ION 75 Titanium, available in two of the company's performance polos from the Spring 2010 line.

"ION 75 Titanium is a technology that generates negative ions as a result of a specially designed knitting process, "says Michael J. Setola, CEO/President. "Golfers and non-golfers alike will benefit from a polo that actually balances the ions in the human body and unsurpassed benefits available from a garment."

ION 75 Titanium is unique to the industry largely due to its benefits, which derive from a development process that begins with liquid titanium magnetic crystals. Crystals are naturally embedded into superior microfiber yarn by way of an exact spinning technique that produces a beneficial amount of negative ions, which in turn will balance positive ions in the body-similar to the popular ionic magnetic bracelets. The end result is a performance garment that actively promotes a healthy and natural flow of balanced ions in the human body resulting in increased serotonin levels and overall wellness. Additionally, ION 75 Titanium has moisture-wicking, UPF and anti-microbial characteristics.

While a 100% performance, the technology creates a luxurious garment as well. The new ION 75 Titanium polos are designed with a refined sense of style, available in a solid pin dot and bar stripe. The entire Spring 2010 line, including ION 75 Titanium, will be on display at this year's PGA Merchandise Show in Las Vegas.

In other company news, Greg Norman Collection's Sales Rep Mark Ziminsky was recently named the 2009 Salesman of the Year by the San Diego Chapter of the PGA of Southern California.

Built upon a unique combination of performance, luxury and style, Greg Norman Collection is a leading worldwide marketer of golf-inspired sportswear for men and women, influenced by one of the world's leading golf professionals.

The excitement never ends!

Vinnie (on the right) and his team.

A few days ago I received a call from the host of CBS's sports radio show The Sports Explosion, Vinnie Munoz and he asked if I wanted to go on the air as a guest and talk about Golf Capital Magazine. Needless to say I was a little nervous but also excited. Vinnie and his co-hosts were great and very supportive and everything went very smoothly. Before going on the air with Vinnie and The Sports Explosion I never listened to that particular station but now I have it dialed in and am now a frequent listener so I can stay informed on other sports news. If you are in the St. Pete/ Tampa area you can listen on radio station 1010am and if you are located somewhere else but want to listen you can listen live on their website www.thesportsexplosion.com Link
