Friday, May 24th: The Importance of Upper Body in the Golf Swing

Topics: Slicing, Ball Flight, Extension
Time: 8pm – 9pm
Where: Haggin Oaks Driving Range
Cost: FREE

The Upper body is super important in any golf game. To hit the ball a long way, the shoulders ought to play an important role in the swing. Long Drive duo, Heather and Damien will explain what this means and why a golf ball doesn’t go straight. Many factors could be in play, such as head movement, poor weight shift and swinging a club that is not on plane. Join Us!

Who are Damien and Heather? 

Damien and Heather are the dynamic duo. These two provide things that no-other guy/girl team can provide. As two of the longest competitors in their sport, they tackle days on the course together, they entertain crowds and they help charitable organizations.

Damien was born in Santa Rosa and raised on the military base in Oahu, Hawaii but San Diego, CA, is where he calls home, because he went to high school there and then on to accept an intercollegiate scholarship at San Diego State for their basketball team. He is currently settled in Sacramento CA, and he is the proud owner of his Rottweiler named Diego. Memories of his great grandfather’s golf stories have helped to inspire Damien’s accomplishments and future goals. He’s only been in the sport of Long Drive for four years.

In 2011, Damien finished in the top 24 in the Aldila International World Match Play Championships. In 2012, he again advanced – finishing top 20 in that same event. Damien’s longest ball of 2012 was 457 yards. With an immeasurable amount of strength and the fastest hips in Long Drive, Damien is the next up and coming star in Long Drive so watch for him as his career launches and his talent explodes in 2013!

His partner, Heather, has been a golfer all of her life. This Sacramento Native attended Sacramento State on a full ride scholarship in 2004. In 2008, she graduated with a degree in Organizational Communications, and she continued playing as a competitive amateur golfer for two years. In 2008 and 2009, she qualified for the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championships. In 2010, Heather competed in four mini-tour events as a professional with a second place finish in one event.

After only two years of being a long-driver, she has accomplished quite a bit. She finished 2nd internationally in 2011, and she also had two international wins in 2012, and placed 2nd in the world. In 2013, she plans to help spread the word of women’s Long Drive and win the World Championship. “The best part of working together are the extra days we get to spend to ourselves, meeting new people, traveling to different countries, trying new foods and beverages and competing at a world class level in the same sport.”

Beer, BBQ and Balls is the place to bring your friends and family every Friday and Saturday night! The Haggin Oaks Driving Range is located at 3645 Fulton Avenue in Sacramento, CA.

At a minimum, we should be switching out our grips at least once a season. According to Shepherd, “For those guys that are really pounding a lot of balls and maybe playing once or twice a week, they might want to consider doing it twice a season.”

You can also clean your grips. For tips on how to properly clean your Winn polymer grips, go to www.Winngrips.com.

Your golf grips are your only connection to the golf club, and you need to ensure yours aren’t too slick or you may be sacrificing strokes on your golf game! Check out this video to see the latest Winn Grips on the market.

Building upon the success of last year’s TW’13, Nike Golf brings enhancements and a modified look to the new Nike TW’14 footwear. Nike Athlete Tiger Woods debuted the new Nike shoe in a dramatic fashion with his 78th PGA Tour career victory at The Players Championship. The new iconic shoe is also the first Nike Golf shoe to be made available on NIKEiD with previews beginning May 20, 2013.

The original Nike TW’13 was created through insights from the athlete himself, Tiger Woods, who stated, “I train with Nike Free technology all the time. I love training in it, running in it, lifting in it. So I asked, why can’t I play golf in it?”

With that, Nike designers set to work creating a Nike Free-inspired golf shoe tailored to maximize Woods’ game.

Nike TW’14

Woods first debuted the TW’13 on Tour late in the 2011 season and the game-changing shoe took the marketplace by storm in 2012. Through his inspiration, hands-on testing and detailed feedback, Nike Golf has continued the collaboration with Woods on the new Nike TW’14, further enhancing the fit, feel and function.

The natural motion engineered outsole of the Nike TW’14 is designed to mimic and conform to the natural motion of the foot, and still deliver all the protection and traction of a lightweight performance golf shoe. This innovative outsole allows the athlete to keep contact with the ground longer, better harnessing the energy of the foot to the shoe and, therefore, the shoe to the ground.

“These shoes provide freedom of movement and allow me to release more power through my swing,” said Woods.

The new upper features improved ventilation that delivers increased breathability and comfort. This was achieved through strategically located perforations and a more comfortable mesh tongue providing athletes the ventilation they want without compromising the waterproof protection they need.

“With this shoe, we worked diligently to take every detail to a new level,” said Tobie Hatfield, Athlete Projects Innovator in Nike’s Innovation Kitchen. “Tiger’s relentless focus on getting better makes us better. His insights force us to never stop innovating and delivering technology that will enhance a golfer’s performance. In the TW ’14, he wanted more stability with mobility and we’ve accomplished that by using Nike’s Dynamic Flywire technology which moves with him, but stabilizes his foot when he swings. We also increased breathability of the shoe by using a full mesh tongue.”

The new TW’14 footwear stays true to Woods’ signature colors, White, Black and Red, and also adds a new colorway to the mix, Cool Grey with Vivid Blue and Venom Green accents (available 8.1).

Nike TW’14 on NIKEiD

With the fully customizable TW’14 iD version, consumers can create the perfect combination of breathability and traction for their playing conditions. In addition to choosing a wide-range of color combinations, golfers can choose between two distinct uppers: waterproof and breathable. The waterproof upper is made of multi-stretch synthetic leather for weather protection and durability, and the breathable upper (available exclusively with NIKEiD) features lightweight mesh to keep feet comfortable on hot days. The TW’14iD is available in two outsoles, either the Spike version or the Integrated Traction option (molded rubber). Consumers can also personalize their shoes by adding their name or an inspirational message to the inside tongues.

PUMA Golf has officially announced the release of the Faas Lite Mesh – the lightest shoe in golf.

“Weighing in at only 6.5 ounces, the Faas Lite Mesh is lighter than other golf shoes in the market,” commented Tom Manthe, Global Marketing Manager, PUMA Golf. “The new, spikeless footwear style is designed to take you from the street to the course in lightweight, maximum comfort and trend-setting style.”

Inspired by minimalist running, the zero heel-to-toe drop gives golfers a barefoot feeling and allows for a more natural stride and posture during the swing. The zero heel-to-toe drop refers to the sole of the shoe staying the same height, much like a foot would stand if wearing no shoe.

Strategically placed corrugated flex grooves move with the foot for a more natural movement. The grooves provide optimal flexibility and increases ground contact throughout the swing for improved traction and stability.

Additionally, the Faas Lite Mesh features SmartQuill® traction technology that provides directional grip elements to enhance ground contact for improved stability and traction. Evertrack® carbon rubber in the forefoot and heel provide long lasting durability and an OrthoLite® sockliner provides long lasting comfort and enhanced fit, so golfers can rock the Faas Lite Mesh comfortably round after round.

In addition to the lightest shoe in golf, PUMA Golf will be releasing the Faas Lite, an extremely lightweight and waterproof golf shoe. A combination of FaasFoam+ (a proprietary blend of foam and rubber that is 25% lighter than previous foams) and lightweight materials in the lining package and tongue create an extremely light and comfortable shoe that weighs just 8.7oz. Microfiber leather with stormCELL provides super lightweight performance and waterproof protection. Like the Faas Lite Mesh, zero heel-to-toe drop, corrugated flex grooves and SmartQuill® traction technology is found in the Faas Lite to deliver a lightweight, performance golf shoe.

The lightweight technology is packed with unquestionable style in three colorways for both the Faas Lite and Faas Lite Mesh. The Faas Lite Mesh is available in Brilliant Blue/Limeade, Vibrant Orange/White and White/Black and the Faas Lite is available in White/Vibrant Orange, White/Black/Brilliant Blue and Black/Castle Rock. All styles come with two laces, one tonal and one pop color for golfers to customize their footwear look.

The Faas Lite Women’s and Faas Lite Mesh Women’s have all the same features and benefits as the men’s versions but weigh in even lighter at 7.0 oz and 5.5 oz, respectively. Women can choose from two colorways: White/PUMA Silver/Virtual Pink and Black/White/Virtual Pink in the Faas Lite Women’s and Black/Virtual Pink and White/Brilliant Blue in the Faas Lite Mesh Women’s.

PUMA Golf will also be releasing a limited edition version, the Faas Lite Splatter. Taking inspiration from Rickie Fowler’s ‘Golf Art’ in 2010 and the graphic designs on COBRA Golf’s AMP CELL line of products, the Faas Lite Splatter features paint splatter designs on a white outsole with an orange formstripe.

Faas Lite MSRP: $100
Faas Lite Mesh MSRP: $90

Faas Lite Women’s MSRP: $90
Faas Lite Mesh Women’s MSRP: $80

Faas Lite Splatter MSRP: $110

Callaway Golf RAZR Fit Xtreme Drivers
RAZR Fit Xtreme has combined Extreme Distance and Extreme Adjustability to create our longest driver. The Forged Composite crown helps us achieve the lowest CG of any adjustable driver and OptiFit Technology allows for a greater range of face angle options, CG bias options and CG height differences than the RAZR Fit. Speed Frame Technology produces fast ball speeds for longer, more consistent distance across the face.
