Introducing the Looper Membership

April 1st, 2011 — 2:39pm

Here’s one testimonial we recently received on Devils and Angels of Golf. Thanks to Shane Moore for the props!

“In 5 days I shaved 5 strokes over 9 holes by following your rules. No driving range, no grip or swing changes, most importantly no lost balls. I did blow up on two holes and each of those holes I broke at least one of your rules. On every other hole I had at least a chance at a par putt and an easy tap in for bogey.
… I will be looking toward to becoming a pro looper.
Also, I will be sharing “The Devils and Angels of Golf” with everyone I know. ”

To get on the Looper notification list – and get Devils and Angels of Golf for free (in both video and downloadable PDF format), just click here.

What can SbS do for you?

March 3rd, 2011 — 4:55pm

All hail the great Swing by Swing user!!

In our dogged pursuit of building the perfect set of golf technology, we humbly request your assistance.

In other words:

Ask not what you can do for SbS… Instead, ask What can SbS do FOR YOU??

What kind of golf technology, in a beautiful world, would help you play better, play more, and enjoy this great game to it’s fullest???

(Don’t think about just stuff on the phone. That’s all good, but I’m thinking about everything surrounding the great game of golf.)

Here are some thoughts to get you started. You can agree with these, or toss our your own ideas:

* Let me track the distance of my shots,
* Alert me when golf equipment goes on fire sale,
* Show me discounted tee times,
* Give me personalized golf instruction,
* Keep my handicap!
* Leave me alone, you ass!
* I want a golf tip EVERY DAY, not just a couple times a week…
* ????

One person who leaves us a comment will win a lifetime membership to our upcoming club.

Ask, and you may receive.

(And, thanks for your help!!)

To Master Such A Tiny Ball, Should Not Be Very Hard At All

October 28th, 2010 — 4:39pm

Howdy fellow golfer,

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been slacking on your daily golf tips email. I’m not sure why -

Maybe it’s the weather turning cold here in Colorado…

Maybe I’m just getting lazy.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been on vacation.

(yep, that’s probably it)

In any case, the silent treatment is OVER!

Let the golf tips resume!

Here is a golf poem for you, sent to us by Chris W. in New York. Hope you enjoy.

(Hey, if you have any good golf jokes, tips, pics, send ‘em our way! Maybe we’ll share it with everybody, like the poem below.)

—————————–

Golf Poem.

In My Hand I Hold A Ball,
White And Dimpled, And Rather Small.

Oh How Bland It Does Appear,
This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.

By Its Size I Could Not Guess,
Of The Awesome Strength It Does Possess.

But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell,
I’ve Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell.

My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same,
Since I Chose To Play This Game.

It Rules My Mind For Hours On End,
A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend.

It Has Made Me Curse And Made Me Cry,
And Hate Myself And Want To Die.

It Promises Me A Thing Called Par,
If I Hit It Straight And Hit it Far.

To Master Such A Tiny Ball,
Should Not Be Very Hard At All.

But My Desires The Ball Refuses,
And Does Exactly As It Chooses.

It Hooks And Slices, Dribbles And Dies,
And Disappears Before My Eyes.

Often It Will Have A Whim,
To Hit A Tree Or Take A Swim.

With Miles Of Grass On Which To Land,
It Finds A Tiny Patch Of Sand.

Then Has Me Offering Up My Soul,
If Only It Would Find The Hole.

It’s Made Me Whimper Like A Pup
And Swear That I Will Give It Up.

And Take To Drink To Ease My Sorrow,
But The Ball Knows … I’ll Be Back Tomorrow.

—————————–

Stand proud you noble swingers of clubs and losers of balls!

A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a
year.
That means, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud. Almost feels like a hybrid.

Why we really play golf…

October 5th, 2010 — 10:45am

To leave your comments, just scroll to the bottom of the page!

I’ve got nothing to sell you today – and nothing to teach – no “PS”
line – no videos – I just wanted to share a personal story.

This is why I play golf… (Is it the same for you?)

I don’t play golf for the exercise.

I mean, it’s a nice side benefit, sure.

I don’t play for the challenge.

Sure, I love a good challenge, especially with myself (as golf
provides). But no challenge is ever undertaken simply because it is
difficult…

I don’t play golf simply for the social aspect…

I play golf for the “moments”.

Yes, some of the best “moments” of my life have been on a golf course.

… others have been with my wife. (none of your business)

… others have been on a mountain stream.

I have a perfect memory of golfing with my Dad (Papa Gig in the
forums), my brother, and my best friend. As follows…

It is fall, nearing sunset.

We all hit a nice approach shot into the 15th green – 4 balls on the
short stuff. So, even before approaching the green we all have a jolly
mood, like “jeez, this game is EASY!”

The green is guarded by big, old, cottonwood trees, with a stream
flowing behind them.

The trees are shedding their cotton enmasse, it is thick in the air,
almost as if you have to wade through it to get to the green.

But for some reason, the cotton is not falling on the ground. The
green is perfect.

It is just hanging in mid-air. Not moving – frozen in time. The sun is
almost down, so everything is orange, and it looks like everybody is
moving in slow motion.

Here I was, surrounded by a lush, perfectly manicured golf course,
with some of the people I love most, in a picture perfect setting -
putting for bird.

And I realized it couldn’t last forever…

So I took a mental snapshot. I locked the feeling in my soul.

It will be one of my most treasured memories forever.

(And then, I’m sure, I screwed up my birdie putt. But I don’t remember
that part…)

And that’s why we play golf…

We play golf because there are only so many perfect moments in this
life – and for some reason, being on the golf course provides many of
them.

With friends. With family. With perfect strangers would could soon be
friends.

With business partners. With children.

Golf is a sport to love. To treasure. To cherish.

Don’t let the significance of this sport we love so much pass you by.

After all, you only have so many rounds left until you pass out of
bounds forever…

What do you think?

Scroll to the bottom of this page and leave your thoughts.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for using Swing by Swing,
