Golfers today are constantly bombarded with fancy marketing messages from equipment manufactures vying for their business. Amidst all the flash and hype, how can the average player know what will actually help their game? It can be difficult to differentiate the gimmicks from those products that offer a true technological advancement. One company that is absolutely the “real deal” and worth checking out is Boccieri Golf: maker of the Heavy Putter.
In order to truly value the Heavy Putter you must get to know its inventor, Stephen Boccieri. A scratch golfer and nuclear engineer, Boccieri applied the skills from his day job to his passion, spending his spare time evaluating equipment from all major manufacturers. He was puzzled by the structural inconsistencies that existed across the board and soon began modifying the equipment to improve performance, an admittedly self serving task as he was searching for ways to better his own game.

The piece of property neatly tucked between Interstate 4 and Walt Disney World is a long way from 301 Park Avenue, but the developers of the new Waldorf Astoria Orlando did their best to pay homage to the original’s historical footprint while making sure to account for the contemporary version’s more tropical locale.

A benefit golf tournament is taking place on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2009 at the award-winning Shingle Creek Golf Club in Orlando. The tournament will benefit Jyllean Williams, who was diagnosed with Mercury poisoning two years ago and has since developed Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Epstein Barr Virus.
At just 24 years of age, her life has literally been taken away from her. The symptoms Jyllean has are horrible. Her body can’t physically handle being around a lot of people or toxic smells. Thus, she is basically homebound except for her numerous doctor visits.

On your next visit to the practice putting green try this “Make your Statement” putting drill, it will help you judge slope better, read greens better, and develop a repeating stroke along a straight line.
Select a putt of approximately 20 to 30 feet. Select a putt that has slope similar to the greens you play on the course. You will need 3 balls for this drill. Set 1 ball down for the first putt with the 2 extra balls fairly close and retrievable for the next 2 putts (Figure 1).

You have to build relationships, so why not use golf? Most business professionals who are in the financial planning business, real estate business, insurance business, or any other consumer-based business cannot justify treating every client and/or prospect to a round of golf. But they need to get in front of a lot of consumers to be successful. The following are a few secrets about using golf to accomplish this objective (even if you happen to have a healthy expense account, there will be some ideas that will help).
Organize a One-a-Month Golf Outing
Once-a-Month Golf Outings are great for businesses that are geared toward local consumers such as financial planners, real estate agents, insurance agents, accountants, golf professionals, bankers, general contractors, attorneys and retailers. They allow these business professionals to spend time with their clients, prospects and friends in a relaxed setting without spending a lot of money.

The Eagle Creek Golf Course, located at Eagle Creek on Narcoossee Rd. in southeast Orlando, is hosting the Lake Nona High School golf team for weekday practice sessions and competitive matches
David Collins, director of sales at Eagle Creek Golf Club, said the season just finished for the Lake Nona High School golf team.
"This group is very disciplined and very dedicated," Collins said. "I won't be surprised if they turn into top contenders next year," he added.
Some stars may already be emerging. The girls and boys teams played seven matches each during the past season, Collins said, and one golfer, a freshman on the girl's team, shot a birdie on the first hole she played in her first competitive match.
