Where I Would Love to Have my Birthday at!

So I was surfing around at golf stuff on the internet looking for golf tournaments in my general home area (more on that later) and I found a place where I would love to have my birthday party.  I know I'm a little old to be having birthday parties but this place just looks plain sweet.  It's called Inside Edge Golf in Eden Prairie Minnesota.  This place looks just plain sweet.  They have tons of indoor golf simulators and an indoor putting green with a bunker!  If you live in the Twin Cities this should be your winter golf place.  The prices seem O.K. for both the putting green and simulators.  The simulator prices are per the hour not per person so grab some friends and the price is fair.  You can play all the famous courses you would never get to play in real life due to exclusivity and of course price on the simulator.  I really wish I lived closer to the Twin Cities over the summer or during the school year, because this place has me excited.  So yeah if you live or travel to the Twin Cities area check this place out.  I hope I get a chance to see it soon.

Pro-Am

Photo from pgatour.com

Well I got to watch part of the Pro-Am today, and it was pretty interesting.  D. A. Points came away with a pretty stress free first tournament win due to Steve Marino choked away his chance of winning which is sad but happens and I'm sure he'll spend quite some time working on keeping his composure.  Pebble Beach looked beautiful as always and remains one of my favorite courses to watch on T.V.  The main highlight for me of watching the Pro-Am was Bill Murray.  He played some really good golf for a guy his age and was entertaining to watch the whole time.  I think I might need to go watch Caddyshack now to finish off the day.
Reminder to all the guys out there:  Valentines Day is tomorrow go get your special lady a gift!
P.S.  I also wondered what D. A. stood for.

SUPERBOWL TIME!!!!!

It is Super Bowl time and my favorite team is playing so I will be out of the news of golf all day like I have been all weekend, but I encourage you all to watch the Super Bowl.  May the spirit of Vince Lombardi be with the Packers today.
The moment we have all been waiting for!

Golf Lesson: 3-Step Instant Slice Killer, by Jason Carbone

3-Step Instant Slice Killer, by Jason Carbone | Videos | Golf.com

This video is amazing.  I had this problem and it was so bad I actually got one swing lesson to correct this, but he didn't show me this way to correct my grip.  He kept making me twist my right hand counterclockwise more (I'm left handed).  Doing it this way does the exact same thing and makes the grip feel a lot less awkward.  Go ahead try it out if your having this problem.  I wish I would have seen this video before I paid that money for a swing lesson.
