  1. Leg started killing me today during my round. I think my downswing is taking a toll on my left knee and everything below that. It definitely led to a bad round for all of you guys to see on Gamebook

  4. Zensah Compression Socks An Official MyGolfSpy Review Introduction We all get older. We're not proud about it, but it happens. As we get older, body parts start to hurt. Activities become harder, and that includes the things you love. If you are reading this review, chances are that the “things you love” probably includes golf. As we age, golf starts to give us aches and pains, and we reach the point where even the walk of golf kills our legs, especially if you are not on the course every week. Zensah, a leader in compression technology sportswear, can provide relief from that. Their products are used in running, tennis, biking, and other sports on a professional level, and now, they are cracking into the golf market. The Socks Like I said, Zensah's socks, and all of their other products, are used on a professional level. Obviously if they are used at such a level, they work. These socks are designed to do four things. • Decreased Leg Fatigue • Increase Circulation • Help Legs Feel Energized • Keep Your Legs Fresh for 18 Holes How does a sock do this? Zensah incorporates graduated compression into their socks, provide arch support to the foot, and input padding for the heel and toes. Combine that with moisture wicking fabric to keep the socks dry and silver ions for thermal regulation and you have one technologically advanced pair of socks. The combination of their design and technology allows them to achieve those goals. To reach the golf market, they have introduced a new argyle collection that would look good when you are fully in golf attire. Combine that with the normal colors and you have over 14 options to choose from. Do They Work? I will admit, I was skeptical going into this review. I had no clue whether a pair of socks would actually be able to work like Zensah said they would. Unfortunately, I have not been able to play golf due to the massive amounts of snow that I keep getting hit with. So, I put these socks through two different tests. First, I walked, and I walked for a long time. I did this for a couple of days with the socks, and then I put them through a tougher test: two basketball tournaments. I put them and on and played three full length basketball games throughout day one, and two full length games throughout day two. Now, I do not have tools at my disposal that will read the fatigue in my legs and tell me the difference, BUT, what I do have is knowledge of my body. I know how my legs have felt in the past and I compared that to what I would feel after activities with the socks on. Boy, did they work. In complete honesty, I did not even have that much trouble getting out of bed the next day after playing three full length basketball games. Did I mention that they look good too? I was unfortunately not sent any argyle ones, but the black and pink ones looked great, and they looked exactly like they were pictured on the website. Judging from that, the argyle socks that would be perfect for golf would also look perfect with your golf attire. Value This is where things get a little bit trickier with the socks. Yes, they work, but they also have a $49.99 price tag on them. This is when, as a reviewer, I have trouble giving advice to the readers. Don't get me wrong, they are the best pair of socks you will have, but there also other things that you can buy for fifty dollars to improve your golf game. So, here is the advice I am going to give. If you constantly deal with aches and pains in your legs and you have the money, then go ahead and buy them. They will help and you will not be disappointed. It is also worth the $49.99 if you play more than golf. If you are going to use them for golf, running, basketball, bike riding, then go ahead and buy a pair. Just be prepared to wash them often because you will not want to use any other sock to exercise with after wearing them. Conclusion The Zensah Compression Socks are definitely well made. They will help relieve the stress that golf and any other sport has on your legs. Although a little bit pricey for a single pair of socks, if you meet the criteria I mentioned above, then it is definitely worth the fifty dollars. You definitely get what you pay for, and that is one hell of a pair of socks. I know that I love my pairs, and I will continue to use them for all of my activities. I am even bringing them to start my golf season in Myrtle Beach this week!
  5. Hahaha thats why it was so hard to test this. Everybody goes out on the few golfing days left and I thought someone was going to hit me with AT LEAST a ball. I'm lucky my playing partners are used to me testing or they would have hit me with something too Thats why I tested this on the practice green. It wasnt to test the drills. It was for my health haha
  6. The KP Golf Tape An Official MyGolfSpy Review Introduction Many items arrive at my doorstep throughout the year. As you have seen from my reviews, either they are successful at what they do, or they are not. Whether they get a rating of a 50 or a 100, all of the items start from a good idea. An idea that is put into action so that everyday golfers like you and me can be a better golfer or perform tasks easier. One of those items is the KP Golf Tape. This product, whether you are an official, tournament director, or just an average Joe on the practice green, can make the actions you are performing much easier. What is it? The KP Golf Tape is simply a measuring tape for golfers to use to measure distances between the hole and either your ball or a spot on the green. How to Use The KP Golf Tape is EXTREMELY easy to use. It is basically a four step process. Open the clasp and then secure it around the flagstick. After doing those two steps, drag the tape to your golf ball and read your measurement. After that is done, just roll the measuring tape using the wheel on the back, and then store it. If you need to measure more than one ball, you do not even have to walk back to the flagstick and repeat the process. What makes the [url="KP Golf Tape"]KP Golf Tape[/url] so unique is the fact that you can rotate it 360 degrees. This just makes an easy product even easier to use. Does it Work? Three words come to mind when I think about the KP Golf Tape: easy, portable, and effective. Easy: As I mentioned above, it is very easy to use. The four step process may seem simple on your computer screen, but it is even simpler in person. Portable: After rolling up the tape, it easily fits into your golf bag, which I find impressive for 100 feet of measuring. Effective: It is very simple. The KP Golf Tape works. The KP Golf Tape is even more effective because of the many different things that you can do with it. It is very versatile, and I will describe the many different uses below. Uses: Tournament Directors and Golf Courses: Because of its ease of use and 360 degree capabilities, the KP Golf Tape is perfect for Closest-to-the-Pin competitions for tournaments. Not only will it be easy to measure a foursome's shots, but it will be quick because you just have the ability to go around the green with ease. Officials: This is perfect for officials too. You can easily measure the closeness of golf balls to the pin, which allows for them to quickly decide who putts first. Average Golfer: This is where the KP Golf Tape shines. Average golfers like you and me can easily benefit from having this product. On the practice green, you can set up different drills. Many golfers talk about setting up three foot circles, and drills of that nature. The KP Golf Tape lets you set up those drills quickly. For lag putting, you can easily measure out different lengths and practice from 30, 40, and 50 feet. How about the ambitious stat keeper? You can easily measure your ball on the course with it. When you use this product, you will become quicker and quicker with it. You can easily gather accurate measurements for your first putt length. By no means does that mean that you should measure when you have a foursome up your butt, but during a practice round, it can be very beneficial. I trust that you golfers who are reading this know when and when not to use it. Value The 100 foot KP Golf Tape retails on their website for $49.95. Originally, I thought that was a little expensive for a measuring tape. After seeing its effectiveness, I can tell you that I have changed my mind about that. If you are the type of golfer that likes to visit the practice green, and you visit it often, it will be very beneficial to you. For tournament directors and golf courses, you will be using it a lot and it speeds up play. Like I always say, you all know yourselves best. If you are going to use this weekly, it is definitely worth the $50. Conclusion I am going to keep this short and sweet. The KP Golf Tape is staying in my bag and I will definitely be using it on the practice green. If you are going to use it on a consistent basis, it will be easily be worth the $50.

      I thought so too but I figured there is constantly at least 4000+ using it. It won't even turn on sometimes.

  17. I had a very interesting 9 hole round today. First off, I found out why I need to warm up before I go on the course. My threesome had to either tee off cold or wait 30 minutes. We decided to go out cold because we would have been behind three foursomes. So, my opening tee shot with my 4 hybrid was hooked (I never go left). My ball landed in a terrible lie with the ball way above my feet. I aimed right and it went dead straight where I was aiming. I ended up behind tree had to pitch lateral, pitch on and 2 putt. (+2, 6, 0 penalties) Second hole, I hit a perfect hybrid dead straight with a lower trajectory (I didn't know if I was going to hook again so I decided to keep it low). The fairway goes downhill (not a dramatic downhill) and rolls that way as well. I hit a 3 hybrid thinking I would not even come close to the hazard. Well the low trajectory with the downhill and no wind resulted in a 270 yard 3 hybrid (it must have hit a sprinkler head or something!) that landed in a terrible lie right before the hazard. I had to chop out and landed in more rough, hit on to the edge of the green, chipped, and two putted. (+3,5,0 penalties) Third hole, awkward par 3. Hooked my 6 iron (I NEVER HOOK) pitch lateral because of trees, pitched it perfectly but it spun back, caught the downhill and went into the bunker. Caught the bunker shot clean and it went OB. Then hit a good bunker shot and one putter for a triple. (+6, 6, 1 penalty) Thats 6 over through 3 holes. I was getting EXTREMELY frustrated. Even at my handicap I get pissed like that. Fourth hole, guess what, Sliced my 3 hybrid into a lateral hazard! I was PISSED. Dropped at nearest point. Pulled a 9 iron (LEFT AHH). I had 15 yards and i pitched in! I thought that would be my spark. (+6, 4, 2 penalties) FIfth hole. Perfect drive over water left me 75 yards to the pin. Hit my 62* which spun back to pin high. MIssed the 7 foot putt BARELY. Tapped in for par. (+6, 4, 2 penatlies) Sixth hole, I expected more slicing with my hybrid. I aimed left and it went straight. I was 95 yards out with a crappy lie. Left it just off the green, chipped to 4 feet, but pulled the putt. Thats a bogey. (+7, 5, 2 penalties) 7th hole, hardest par 3 on the course. Hit my 7 iron just off the green.Pitch ALMOST went in, but it didn't bite enough, it the downslope and trickled off the green. Chipped to 2 feet and bogeyed. (+8, 4, 2 penalties) 8th hole. Hit a perfect drive down the middle which left me 195 yards left on a par 5. I decided to play to the front left of the green instead of trying to carry the bunkers. I ended up hooking my hybrid (I NEVER GO LEFT). Hit the cart path and went OB. My next shot went left too, but left me on a tight lie. pitch and two putt for a bogey. (+9, 6, 3 penalties). 9th hole. Hit my 4 wood into a fairway bunker. Since it was too high of a lip I had to just get out. Then hit a 8 iron to the fringe. Chipped to 4 feet and one putted for a bogey. (+10, 5, 3 penalties) I have learned my lesson. Always warm up before a round, even if it is only for 9 holes. It was just awkward going left when I am so used to pushing the ball to the right. Oh well. I thought I'd share since I haven't posted one in a couple of weeks.
  18. Congratulations RP! Thats incredible! When I am 234 yards away, I am just trying to get it close to the green, while you are pin hunting haha.
  19. GolfLogix partnered with GolfDigest and made the GolfLogix clubhouse (the website where I enter all of my scores) so much better. Everything is very detailed now and it gives great feedback!

      Looks to be a great idea on their part. Have not looked in depth at it, but in theory it is a great concept.

      They have added some extra features including a Post Round Analysis where they give you a PDF with information on what to improve on that round, but that costs $19.99 a year (which is not at all expensive). I just started my 30 day trial to see if it is worth it and I will probably type something up if that goes well.

  20. Great round Rev! I don't know how you made that 20 footer. At that point I would have 3 putted, but I guess that what separates you and me. You being a 3 and me being a 17 haha
