TaylorMade 14-degree SLDR driver The introduction of the 14-degree SLDR driver has presented one of TaylorMade's biggest challenges, because most golfers identify 14 degrees with a strong 3-wood, not a driver.

Train Like an Olympian: What Olympic Athletes Do That We Don't The Winter Games are just around the corner. We’ve asked the Olympic trainer to fill us in on taking our workout to the next level… Nathan Mellalieu has trained a number of Olympic athletes over the years.

He’s trained his fair share of movie stars too, and we can only imagine which training sessions are more intense. As that rare season rolls around when we’re all thinking of the Games, we knew we had to hear from Nathan about a few of his own experiences. The Olympics are here once again and most of us will be inspired by the dedication and determination these athletes show us. Dos and Don’ts To Train like an Olympian:Do set goalsOlympians have clear, ambitious and inspiring goals.Do enlist an expertOlympians seek out an expert to develop a personalized bullet-proof plan, unlike so many of us who just walk ambiguously through fitness without a goal worthy of inspiring us out of our funk. Mi blog de golf » ¿Juego sucio en el Masters?

Los veteranos del Masters de Augusta saben de las numerosas “trampas” que los greenkeepers del campo preparan a los jugadores. De lunes a miércoles, durante las rondas de prácticas, el campo está preparado de una determinada manera…..pero, mientras se celebra el torneo de pares 3, los trabajadores del Augusta National se dedican a intentar añadir mayor dificultad a un campo en el que los mejores profesionales ya sufren de lo lindo. Cortes cruzados en el green, corte y peinado de los antegreens hacia el exterior de los mismos o el peinado de las calles a contrapelo son algunos de los “trucos” que se utilizan para hacer la semana más “agradable” a los profesionales de nuestro deporte.

Un operario trabaja en un green del Augusta National No obstante ello, este año me ha parecido que el Augusta National ha ido un poco más allá.

By Ron Kaspriske You can only swing the club as fast as you can slow it down. Think about that for a bit. I'll get back to that statement. We're all looking for 10, 15, 20 more yards off the tee and to hit 8-iron where we once hit 7-iron.

But how do you get it? A new driver? You might squeeze a few more yards out with any of those suggestions. Swing the club faster. I recently spoke with Tom House about this topic. The sobering reality is that as we age, we lose the flexibility and muscle mass needed for speed, House says. You can only swing the club as fast as you can slow it down. When House first said that to me, it took a little time for me to believe it. Your body works the same way. House explains about training these areas in the October issue of Golf Digest (look for Rickie Fowler on the cover). Read below to see his suggestions for how to train your body to decelerate the club at faster speeds. 1. 2. 3. Ron Kaspriske is the fitness editor for Golf Digest.
