Training Aids

Let’s face it, practicing your short game (wedges) in the winter is not an option for most golfers unless you live in a part of the country where you can golf year-round or have access to a golf dome. The key to any good short game is practice and ingraining the proper feel and feedback [...]

At the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show, I got a tweet from ZENIO asking me to stop by their booth and check out the ZENIO Putting System. I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard of this company and I was really curious.
