Golfing the Back Nine at Crooked Creek Near Lincoln, Nebraska

In a previous article, we went through the front nine on this course. The front nine was acceptable and ended up shooting 10 over par. Keep in mind this is the second round of the year for me. The first round was months ago, so a little rust was getting worked out on the front nine. My stroke is starting to come together and I usually play better on the back nine than the front nine when I golf. At this point, I am looking forward to the back and a better than the front nine nine nine.

I should mention that I use discount golf clubs, but they are custom golf clubs that were built to my specifications. I figure these clone golf clubs save me money and work just as well as higher priced name-brnd golf clubs. My driver and woods are getting a little old and I may have to start looking at some new ones. My clone golf irons are all only a year old.They are comparable in performance to the Nike Slingshot irons.

The back nine starts with a pair 4 that measures around 375 yards and is handicapped at number 12. From the tee box, the tee shot is straight south heading downhill. I used to driver off the tee and ended up about 135 yards from the green in the fairway. This is starting off the back nine in great fashion! I used to 9 iron from there that ended up off the right side of the green about pin high. I used my pitching wedge from there to within 8 feet of the pin.I putted in for a couple. Definitely starting the back nine off on the right foot!

Number 11 is another par 4 that is playing about 400 yards. It is handicapped at number 10. To driver off the tee sails down to the fairway and leaves below about 145 yards. The only problem is that it is on the right side in the rough. There is a creek that runs about 50 yards in front of the green. This shouldn ain't be a problem for my 8 iron, that I usually figure will go about 150 yards. The shot ends up about 13 yards short of the pin in front of the green in the fairway.My pitching wedge gets golf ball to within the 13 foot of the pin. One putt and I walk away with a pair. Another nice up and down!

Number 12 is a pair 3 that is about measuring 140 yards today. The handicap on this hole is 14. This hole always seems to play longer than the yardage, so I will use my 8 iron off the tee.The tee shot the leaving to 40 foot putt green lands. The putt ends up 10 foot short and the following putt leaves 4 inches. To tap in and I walk away with a bogey putt. This is the first bogey of the back nine.

Hole 13 is a pair 5 handicapped at 4th hardest on the course that is narrow and has a creek running across it about 350 yards out. It is about playing 530 yards long today. I use my driver and end up about 290 yards from the green in the middle of the fairway. My 3 wood gets me to right at 100 yards out and in the fairway. I like this hole so far.I use my pitching wedge and take a little off. A full pitching wedge goes about 120 yards. One hop and the golf ball goes in the hole for an EAGLE! My first ever eagle. I really like how this hole played.

Number 14 is a pair 4 that measures 340 yards. This hole is handicapped at 16 on the course. It dog legs left at about 240 yards out.There is water on the left and right.I use my 3 wood and place the tee shot 115 yards out in the middle of the fairway. My tee shots are finding great success so far. To pitching wedge ends up on the right just off the green and pin high. I use my pitching wedge again to get within two feet of the hole. To tap in par hole and 14 is in the books.

OK, time for another gem from one of my golfing buddies: I can always tell when you're drinking, you start to look blurry.

Hole 15 is to pair 3 that plays up to a green that slopes away and to the right. This hole is handicapped as the easiest hole on the course, but always plays hard for me.It is protected by sand in the right front and always plays longer than the distance. Today, that distance measures around 140 yards. I use my 8 iron and eats up about 25 yards short of the green on the left. The sand must have scared me. I use a sand wedge and end up about 3 feet from the pin on the high side. My putt ends up 3 inches past the hole. To tap in and the end up a bogey hole. This hole is somewhat disappointing after the round so far, but I still feel good about my play.

Number 16 is a pair 4 tees off down to an open that fairway and is handicapped at number 8.This is a slight dog leg right with the green guarded by a sand bunker on the right front. The hole measures about 360 yards. My driver finds the fairway and leaves about 105 yards left to the green. I hit my pitching wedge fat and end up in the darn sand bunker in the front of the green. This leaves another great opportunity to play out of the sand. Sand wedge out of the sand ends up my 4 foot from the hole. I am definitely gaining confidence getting out of the sand. The subsequent putt ends up 2 inches past the hole. To tap in and I walk away with a pair!

Hole 17 is a pair 4 that measures 380 yards uphill and is the sixth hole on the course according to handicapping the hardest.My driver off the tee ends up slicing novel off to the right. I estimate that I am 150 yards out and use my 8 iron. The swing and contact with the golf ball all felt good. I must have not estimated the distance right, as this shot ends up about 40 yards short of the green. The green slopes away and to the left. There is sand on the left, so that should be out of play from where I am shooting. My pitching wedge sends the golf ball to within 18 feet.The first putt ends up about 2 foot past the hole. To tap in from there gives me to bogey. This is probably a good score from off the fairway.

The last hole is a pair 5 measuring 530 yards. This number 2 handicapped hole gently dog legs right all the way to the green. My driver off the tee finds the fairway and leaves about 300 yards. My 3 wood from the fairway pushes the golf ball out to the right in the rough and about 75 yards from the green.My sand wedge ends up on the fringe of the green and about 30 feet away from the pin. I putt to within 7 foot and then putt 2 foot past the hole. (I) the last one in for a bogey putt.

As i add up the score, I end up with a 2 over for the back nine.I am very pleased with this back nine, especially the eagle on the par 5 13th hole.I would like to figure out why I shoot better on the back nine and how to do the same on the front nine.I feel like I warm up enough, but maybe I need a bit more.The total for the 18 holes is over 12.This is much better than my normal goal of bogey golf.I am really looking forward to this season.Until next week, I hope all your drives find the fairway and all your putts find the bottom of the hole.

Clone Golf Clubs, Buyer Beware!

They say that the sincerest form of flattery is to be imitated. While that may be true in other industries,
branded golf equipment manufacturers are hardly smitten with the idea that their names, designs, and colors are there to be copied. Golf club manufacturing, being a finite market, hardly has the luxury to allow for copy-cats to roam free.Unfortunately, for companies such as Callaway and consumers that may not understand the nuances in club design and manufacture, there are hundreds of knock -
offs and counterfeits in the marketplace today.

Clones

Clones, also known as knock-offs, are very easy to identify, as they are usually made of to similar design and color as the real deal but with differences that allow them to fly under the patent infringement radar. The resellers of these golf clubs will generally let you know what club they are trying to emulate. They may have a totally different name and sport may certain design and cosmetic differences.

Don't be fooled however, these clubs are anything but similar to the clubs they are trying to copy.In order to lower prices, cloned golf equipment will be made of less expensive materials; for example, they will use instead of pure steel or titanium alloys. Also, the construction of the clubs will be different with a lesser degree of tolerance. Clubs may be heavier (or lighter), shafts may be Cloned flared (or)
(softer) and swing weights will not be consistent from one club to the next.

Top-tier manufacturers spend millions of dollars on research and development tying to perfect their golf clubs.These costs are obviously passed on the consumer, thus justifying the prices. On the other hand, cloned clubs, which can be up to 75% cheaper than their real counterparts, cannot claim to have superior technology backing them up. They produce a cheap and less product and the
consumer ends up paying the price on the course.

Knock-off resellers will recommend that you purchase these clubs, especially if you are new to the game. Why spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on Callaway, Taylor Made Titleist, when you can have the same or similar in club or to clone? As a beginner, you are told, you won't be able to know or feel the difference.

Our advice is to steer clear of these clubs as they will not allow you to improve your game over time. You may learn how to master the swing, tempo, and follow through and hit the ball in the sweet spot every time. However, if you use inferior products, you will most certainly be at a disadvantage on the course as the knock-offs you have purchased are not true with every swing.

If you're new to the game, purchase used set of clubs made by one of the branded manufacturers such as callaway golf preowned As these clubs are infinitely more precise and exact in their production, they will allow you to work on your swing without having to worry about the performance of the clubs.They also sound great... ping! Furthermore, you should be able to get a great deal on used sets, some of which might look brand new. Remember, you get what you pay for.Ain't wouldn't you rather have a set of Callaway's or Taylor Made?

Counterfeits

Some clone manufacturers don't even go to the trouble of making changes to the designs of the real quoted clubs and cross over the patent infringement line. An illegal knockoff rwraz counterfeit are products that violate the legal trademarks, patents or copyrights of another company. You may notice some of these names;King Snake, Tommy Mann Bummer, The Big Burser. It is pretty obvious who they were trying to copy. Sometimes, counterfeiters will use the same names as the branded clubs and try to pass them off as the real deal.

Branded club manufacturers spend countless hours and millions of dollars trying to stop these companies from making and selling their product. As is the case with r + d numbers, unfortunately these costs are also passed on to the consumer. Most illegal knockoffs are manufactured in Asia and sold to wholesalers in the US, Europe and other important markets.

Sometimes it is very easy to spot counterfeit club, other times it is very difficult.Generally speaking, stay away from clubs that are not serialized. Most top-end manufacturers are placing serial numbers and other identifying marks on their clubs. If it is not serialized, chances are that the club is a fake or a cheap imitation.

The majority of older models will not have serial numbers. That's when you should start to look for cosmetic blemishes such as paint, lettering not centered, epoxy applied unevenly (glue) showing in one or more areas, misspelled names, and anything else that doesn't look normal.Use your best intuition... if it doesn't look right, it probably is not.

Am I purchasing from an authorized club retailer branded? If the answer is "no," your chances of purchasing counterfeits increase greatly.Your best protection against counterfeits is to purchase only from an authorized golf club
retailer.

Is the price for the "brand new, top of the line" clubs too good to be true? If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is and you should be extremely wary.Finally, the last test you should perform is two-pronged.Some unscrupulous retailers will have both real and clone clubs for sale.If these are available, grab the first in one hand (holding the grip) and the second in the other hand (also)
(grip).Which feels better to you?Shake them slightly.. .Does one make a rattling sound?Do they both sway back and forth evenly?You should be able to tell a difference right away.The branded version should feel much better, more balanced, and obviously better looking.

The second test you should perform, if the retailer lets you, is to take a couple of shots alternating between both clubs.Does sound better than the other one?Does one feel better than the other?Even if you are not an experienced golfer, you should be able to tell the difference between both clubs.

The last word of caution is this: if the club you're buying doesn't have a warranty, leave it aside and buy one that does.The branded companies stand behind the product that they make.They value their customers and honor warranty claims.There is always a remote possibility that your club will snap, dent, crack or chip.Do the clone manufacturers have an 800 number for customer service?Before
you spend $1000 or even $100, check out who makes the clubs and what their policy is for warranties.

Buying Discount Golf Clubs

Discount golf clubs are certainly to temptation for many golfers since the price of to complete new name brand set can be in the $1,500 or higher range these days. This article will discuss various ways of procuring discount golf clubs, and the pros and cons of doing so.

Know Yourself - Get Fitted Properly

Before laying down to chunk of cash on golf clubs, it is imperative that you know what to look for clubs. I suggest to club fitting be a certified professional club maker. That is an investment every serious golfer should make, but less than 10% actually do this. By the way, trying out a couple of different clubs at a Demo-Day And does not constitute proper club fitting. If you purchase discount golf clubs and think you have saved to bundle, what good is it if the clubs are wrong for you?Thus, if you are looking for a discounted driver, for example, you should know exactly what kind of clubhead, angle, shaft, length and grip club loft are right for you.If you know all of this, then and only then does it behoove you to purchase any clubs, be they new, used, or discount golf clubs.

EBay Auctions

I have heard that eBay is the largest seller of used cars in the U.S. right now. I don't know if that is a fact for certain, but they sell a lot of golf clubs as well. To search for "golf clubs" today yielded over 15,000 active auctions. So you have a lot to choose from on eBay. You must know exactly what you are looking for, as discussed above. If you find just the right club or clubs, be sure to check out the rating of the seller. If the seller has good ratings from past auctions, it is probably safe to assume he or she is honest and you can send them money without much worry. If there is any doubt, forget it. You must be as confident as possible that the seller is honest.Of course this goes for any eBay auction, not just for discount golf clubs.For your convenience, some eBay auctions are listed on this web page and several others on this site. If you click an eBay ad on our site and then make a purchase, we do make a small commission (full disclosure). This helps offset some of the costs to run the site and doesn't affect your purchase price in any way.

Golfsmith

I've always liked Golfsmith and have built a good number of clubs using components purchased from them. They have an excellent web site with tons of information. You can certainly save money buying from Golfsmith components and building the clubs, if you are up for that. Golfsmith has a lot of good instructional information as well regarding club building. If you have had a proper club fitting and know what to purchase, this is a good option.It's really not that difficult.Golfsmith also has a trade-in service, and you can get a discount on a new set of clubs by trading in your old ones. This also means they have lots of pre-owned clubs for sale. Check out the pre-owned section of their site, and you can find some pretty good deals. You can pinpoint what you want by using the search box on the site. You have two levels of protection here, the established integrity of Golfsmith and the brand of the clubs your are buying.

Discount Golf Clubs at Pro Shops

I recently was in a local shop and they had a new Cleveland pro hybrid for sale for half price. The reason it was half price was because it was last year's model.Golf pro shops have outdated equipment on sale all the time because they want to get rid of old inventory. The company, Cleveland Golf in this case, experience made a few tweaks to the clubs from one year to the next, but there probably isn't anything close to revolutionary (unless you believe the marketing pitch), and last year's model will work just fine. But, as always, that's only the case if the clubs you fit.

Discount Web Sites

Watch out here.Many discount clone or knockoff clubs look good, but if you don't know better they were probably made in a low quality factory in China using less materials and workmanship.Unless you can be certain the clubs were made in a factory with high quality materials and manufacturing processes, it's best to pass on the deal.What we are looking for here are discount golf clubs, not garbage golf clubs.

And remember, get yourself a serious club fitting by a certified clubmaker.You'll get more out of your game whether you are buying the most expensive set of brand name or a set of discount golf clubs clubs.I have can also probably get you into an excellent set of custom made clubs along with the fitting for about the price of just buying a brand name set without any club fitting.I also recommend reading Tom Wishon's excellent book "The Search for the Perfect Golf Club".

Golf Club Clones - What Are They And Are They Legal?

Golf Club Clones

What are they and are they legal?

Golf Club Clones are called knockoffs, pirated golf clubs and other nasty things. Many people think they are made in some impoverished country less from shoddy workmanship and materials.

Some even think they are illegal. In most cases, that's not quite right.

Clone golf clubs are marketed under their own name and are promoted as similar to a specific brand name club.

True clone golf clubs are manufactured from similar premium materials used by brand name golf club manufacturers. They are similar to the brand club style, but do not infringe on the brand company's design patent. They are manufactured by legitimate companies, many located in the United States and sold for a much lower price than their brand counterpart.

And, it's all about price. In a recent article, Golf Digest ® analyzed the manufacturing cost of a brand name $500.00 driver. The club head was the most expensive part. It cost about $55.00.The graphite shaft was $15.00 The grip cost $3.00 and about $4.00 went into the assembly process. That's about $77.00 for a $500.00 golf club.

Where did the rest go? Well, nobody is going to buy a brand golf club until the holy grail of golf, the professionals, endorse and recommend it. In today's world, promotion and endorsements golf are the life blood of the industry.Companies like Acer, Callaway, Cobra, Nike, Ping and Taylor Made spend millions of dollars on advertising and promotion of their excellent golf clubs.

As you can see, it's a very expensive proposition and somebody has to pay the bill. Guess what, it's the everyday golfer.

Clone golf clubs are like generic drugs. The brand drugs are expensive because all the research and development costs for that and a few that need to be recovered while the new "hot drug" failed drug is dominating the market.The real cost of manufacturing the drug is a tiny fraction of R & D costs, so once the drug is available in a generic formula, the price drops substantially. Think about that the next time you watch to commercial for your blood pressure drug or for a golf club.

However, without the research and development by the drug and brand name golf club manufacturers, we wouldn't have our life saving drugs and those high tech golf clubs. The question of who to support is up to the individual golfer. The decision to use clone golf clubs is strictly up to each golfer.We are here to provide information that can help you decide for yourself.

Like most manufacturers, the big golf equipment companies buy materials from suppliers. These are the same suppliers that sell to the clone golf club manufacturers. The clone golf club engineers analyze branded clubs to determine how they are made and then design to clone club that closely fits those specifications, without violating existing patents.

Do not confuse clone golf clubs with illegal knockoffs. These clubs deliberately try to fool the consumer by claiming to be the name brand, right down to the often actually logo. These are not cloned golf clubs and people who purchase them are actually violating the law.Since they are not what they claim, these illegal clubs can adversely affect your game.Many clubs like Callaway's Big Bertha, the King Cobra, and the Tommy Mann Bummer were knocked off by these rip off companies.The golfers that purchased these lower paid to stiff price in performance and durability club knockoffs.

Maximize Your Golf Dollar!

Creative thinking is the key to maximizing your dollar golf! Opportunities abound for you stretch your budget golf.

Yeah, the economy has gone into the tank & most people I know are hurting financially - some real bad and others bad enough where they have to make changes in their lifestyle. But if you've been searching for an article like this, I assume that you haven't decided to give up golf! Rather you're looking for a way to continue to enjoy the game, but cut down on the expense.I like to call it "becoming to frugal golfer"!

Frugal means little, inexpensive, and marked by economy in the spending of money costing.Even though golf is inherently an expensive game, opportunities exist in numerous places to save money - sometimes big bucks! As you might expect, the internet is your best friend for exploring most of these.

1. Discount Greens Fees - There are a multitude of national, regional, & local discount golf pass programs that cover reduced greens fee at courses close to you. Google "discount golf pass programs" plus "(your State)" & you should come up with a number of possibilities.Check your local newspaper's sports section for coupons (Monday's edition is popular in my local area). Subscribing to your local course's e-mail listing (check course's website) can result in coupons. Many courses' pro shops will gladly share this type of information with you if you just ask about it!

2. Online Greens Fees – Many internet companies sell online teetimes for specific dates & times at reduced rates. Some sites ask you to name your own price, and even auction sites like eBay are getting into the act. Do an internet search & surprise yourself at what's out there.

3 New Golf Equipment - Retail stores, driving ranges & golf courses are the only way to go when you need to try out equipment to see if it is right for you, but eleven you've identified what you want, you have to check the internet. Low overhead of itself gives the big price advantage over the brick and mortar stores online facilities.EBay & Amazon can be the source of big savings! Timing your purchases (January & February in many areas) to just before the new equipment comes out can take advantage of overstocked inventories.

4 Used Golf Equipment - in the search for the new driver, iron, wedge, or putter that will magically lowers their scores, golfers are constantly abandoning perfectly good & in many cases, virtually new equipment. That driver that the golf manufacturers were Tevez about just last year didn't just lose the 20 yards it promised you, did it? Used equipment can be found just about everywhere because there is simply so much of it!

5 Clone Golf Clubs - Many clone golf clubs perform quite well, so check them out, but be careful to distinguish clones from knockoffs. Knockoffs will try to fool you by imitating brand name clubs to the extent that it can be hard to tell the difference. Clone golf clubs will level with you up front with phrases like "compare to" or "similar to" a brand name club.

6 Recycled, Refurbished, Reconditioned Golf Balls - Whatever term you prefer, these are used & there is a big market out there.Golfers lose millions of balls every year, many of which have only been hit eleven or twice. Golf ball recycling companies clean these up & resell them balls. The highest grade of recycled ball looks & plays perfectly (your playing partner will never know unless you decide to brag about how little you paid for them - typically about half price).

7 Sell or Donate Your Used Golf Equipment - If you decide to sell your used equipment, be prepared to swallow hard - you are likely only to get pennies on the dollar for them! A better way to go might be to donate them to charity for the tax deduction.Some charities won't accept golf equipment, but others like The First Tee Program (for kids) will be delighted to take them!

8 Get a Part-Time Golf Related Job - Just a couple of shifts as a starter, ranger, attendant, or pro shop attendant at your local course is usually enough to get you abundant free golf cart (although generally with some time restrictions).Work to shift or two at a retail shop can result in significant discounts on everything they carry golf.

Trade specific brands of balls with your buddies, shop the coupon sites on the web, and forget the more expensive brand names for the non skill items like gloves & grips.There are so many ways to save if you put your mind to it!My passion over the years for this expensive game you have led me to find whatever I could to way reduces the expense, but you know what?Besides saving the money, becoming a frugal golfer has been really satisfying & yes - fun!

Lee Triplett retired from a government job on a Friday in April 2005 & on the following Monday started a part - time job at a golf course 5 minutes from home.Years of trying to stretch his budget, combined with his golf job experiences, and golf to natural affinity to exhaustively explore the internet before buying anything, led him to build his website http://www.frugalgolfer.com
