Getting fitted for golf clubs is one of the most important things that you can do when it comes to tightening up your game. Let’s be honest here. Golf is NOT A CHEAP SPORT. Oh, it’s not POLO, but you’re not Nacho Figueras (or for that matter Justin Spieth). But, that doesn’t mean that you should just grab those loaners at the driving range and hit a bucket of dead balls in disgust. You play because you enjoy the game, you enjoy getting outside in the sunshine, and you enjoy the competition with your buddies (and more importantly with yourself). But, golf is and can be frustrating and actually getting FITTED can help you improve your game in a number of ways.

For example, getting fitted for the right clubs can help you:

• Hit the ball farther and straighter.
• Improve your consistency.
• Save strokes on the course.
• Avoid injuries.

This is where Club Champion comes into play. When you get fitted for golf clubs with Club Champion, a professional will assess your swing and recommend the clubs that are best suited for your individual needs. This includes the length, weight, and flex of the clubs, as well as the type of shaft and grip.

Getting fitted for golf clubs can be a bit expensive, but it is a worthwhile investment if you are serious about improving your game. Hey, look at what you paid for that hybrid driver you just bought that didn’t do what you thought it would (yes, it’s happened to me MANY times). In the long run, the cost of getting fit will be offset by the savings on clubs you buy (and want to trade 3 games in), balls, tees, and green fees.

Here are some of the benefits of getting fitted for golf clubs:

• Increased distance: When you have clubs that are the right length and weight for you, you will be able to generate more clubhead speed, which will result in longer drives.
• Improved accuracy: When your clubs are fitted to your swing, you will be more consistent with your shots, which will lead to more fairway hits and more greens in regulation.
• Reduced injuries: When you have clubs that are the right fit for you, you will be less likely to injure yourself. This is because the clubs will be easier to control and swing, which will reduce the stress on your muscles and joints.
• Increased confidence: When you know that you have the right clubs for your game, you will be more confident on the course. This will lead to better decision-making and execution, which will result in lower scores.

After spending hours binge-watching the show and contemplating every twist and turn, I’ve come to a final verdict.

Drum roll, please!

I’ve got to say, this show is definitely worth watching! It had the perfect balance of suspense and mind-boggling storylines that had me hooked from the first episode “Frenemies” that looks into both the friendship and comptetitive spirit between Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth. The production values, including the stunning visuals will make you feel as though you are out on tour alongside them. If you’re in search for a new show to dive into, this is one I’d confidently recommend – trust me, you won’t regret it!

All in all, Full Swing is an entertaining modern take on the game of golf. The show offers an interesting look at the lives and competitive nature of professional golfers and brings a unique plot to the sports genre.

It’s worth your time to give this unique show a try!

I give it a HOLE IN ONE!

As a Short Par 4 Ambassador, I am excited to bring you “what’s in the box” each month.

The Champagne is Poured & the Ball has Dropped

And it’s time to get out that paper and pen and start writing down your resolutions. While my wife is once again (for the umpteenth time) putting lose weight (she says she has to lose 5 lbs, but I don’t see it) and getting fit on her list, I am ready to up my golf game. She makes fun of me always taking lessons, but a pro can see what you are doing wrong and correct it before it becomes a bad habit.

But, it’s not JUST the lessons that make the golfer, it’s having great gear and looking (and feeling) good on the course that helps build confidence. Having the newest and best gear on the market can be just as important. This is why I like getting the Short Par 4 Fairway membership box every month. It gives me the opportunity to wear the best golf apparel and always have new balls, gloves, towels, markers, and more in my bag. I know that when I get behind the wheel of the cart and head down the path I am ready to play and I look the part.

Unboxing the Short Par 4 Fairway Box

It’s no secret that I HATE shopping, so being able to simply open a box each month with the newest clothes and products for golf (and leisure wear) means that I never have to step foot in a store or pro shop. It also saves me a LOT of money, as the Fairway Membership is only $54.95 per month, yet I consistently receive over $110 worth of products.

In this month’s box you’ll find

Shaft n Balls Boxers

Time sure passes quickly on the course when you wear these fun boxer shorts made of 95% Modal and 5% Spandex. Shaft & Balls boxers were designed with unique technology that lets your boys dangle in comfort. Crafted with long, hot rounds of golf in mind, that shouldn’t stop everyone from enjoying their benefits, not just golfers. Not only do they guarantee that your shaft & balls will be living the dream in their ultra-tech pouch, but they will also live a life of luxury and style in any of the fun, badass designs like these with clocks.

1764 Signature Birdie Pants

Baby blue never looked this good before. Make a statement on or off the course in these full length slacks, perfect for cooler days when short just won’t do. I have a few of the 1764 polos and tops, and love the fabric and prints that they offer. These are not only soft, but move WITH you to keep you focused on you swing and NOT those uncomfortable pants that you usually wear.

Short Par 3 Divot Tool and Ball Marker

See, I told you that Short Par 4 always includes the gear you need for EVERYTIME you’re out playing a round! The ball market and golf divot tool (with ball marker included) are part of the SP4 Collection of products.

I Play Favorites

It’s a good thing I only have one child because the others would have felt left out. My son Ben (from the blog Home Food Fun) and I play golf together as often as we can. Let me put it out there…HE IS SO MUCH BETTER AT THIS GAME THAN I WILL EVER BE. I also play favorites (I am loyal to a fault) to where I play (with the exception of when I am away from home), my cars (I drive a Subaru Outback and it’s my 2nd one in 3 years), and yes, even my subscription boxes, which is why you see Short Par 4 here more than the others. They always send out top-of-the-line clothing that looks and fits great (and I am a 3XL, so not an easy task) and the golf equipment they put in each box is always the best on the market.

The Short Par 4 Holiday Box arrived

And I can’t say enough good things about it. It is chock full of great on and off the course shirts, a Callaway cap, a Short Par 4 golf towel as well as a sleeve of Taylor Made balls and Short Par 4’s signature T’s.

Here is what it all looks like

Taylor Made TP5 balls and signature Short Par 4 tees.

The necessities that you need each time you play because…ahem, I know that I lose a LOT of both of these things.

Callaway Cap

With an adjustable velcro back and great stain-proof fabric (because in Florida and with the way I shank I sweat on the course). It also comes with a Callaway ball marker!

Short Sleeve Shirt by Oxford America

This great golf shirt is perfect for year-round play. Mine arrived in a muted red color and is comfortable for play as well as everyday wear.

Graham Luxe long sleeve quarter zip

Great for fall or spring play, or as a winter shirt on a cool day. Even here in Florida, as the weather changes, not only do I find myself grabbing this great shirt or layering over another, but I like wearing long sleeves to help protect from the sun. This top alone has a $90 value which makes the $54.95 for the Fairway membership, well worth the price.

Short Par 4 is the PERFECT gift for the golfer in your life.
