Karsten Solheim is the Ping golf club’s inventor. The story has it that Karsten was unhappy with his progress as a golfer, and with the way he was hitting the ball. So he began experimenting with his own putter design, hoping he’d be able to putt better than he had been up to that point. He had no idea that his design would eventually be known worldwide!

By 1959, his putter experiments had evolved into his first available design. He came up with his brand name after listening to the sound it made when hitting the ball, hence the name “Ping”. Later the same year, Sports Illustrated published an article in their August issue regarding the Ping putter, dubbing it the “musical” putter.

This was the beginning of success for the Ping golf club. At present, the clubs are manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona by Karsten Manufacturing Corporation. There are more than 400 patents registered for the Ping clubs, and each of their designs are innovative and original, creating clubs that are beneficial to every golfer. Here are some of their key patents and products:

In 1962, the ‘Heel-Toe Weighted‘ Ping club was granted patent. This design revolutionized golf club design and had an influence on many clubs available in the market today.

In 1969, the ‘Perimeter-Weighted, Investment-Cast‘ Ping irons were introduced. The significance of these irons is that the perimeter weighting is able to increase the moment of inertia – the tiny space of time between contact and flight – making the Ping iron more ‘forgiving’ if the club face isn’t quite square to the ball when striking it.

Another patented technology used in Ping clubs is the Cushion Selective Filtering Insert. This insert reduces and disperses the unwanted frequencies of vibration that can affect the muscle, bone, and connective tissue in the golfer’s hands, arms and shoulders. Through this invention, the golfer receives less vibration with greater feel on each shot.

These design innovations – and the game-improving results they provide – are the reason for the popularity of Ping clubs. These clubs are widely used because of their ever-changing yet reliable design. Furthermore, the improvements they can make to your game are likely the reason for occasional ‘battles’ between PGA pros who want to use them and those who consider them an unfair advantage!

If you do buy a set, or individual Ping clubs, record the serial numbers. If you ever need one replaced, its serial number can be used to identify the specs used in the manufacture of your club, no matter how many times its design may have been changed since you bought yours. The company can make you a new one to those original specs, so your set will be complete and fully compatible again.

EFT is a meridian-based therapy, similar to accupuncture or accupressure. You simply “tap” on a few “clearing points” on the face and body, while focusing on the negative emotion, in order to “clear” it. Sure, it sounds a bit unusual, but so are the results!

Gary and his team achieved “astonishing results” while working with war veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These men had recurring nightmares, phobias, paranoia, shame and guilt, among other socially crippling conditions and feelings. EFT was able to give them peace and hope in a matter of hours, where more traditional therapies had failed for years. So what does this have to do with reducing your golf handicap?

Well, if EFT can help a war veteran with PTSD then your first-tee jitters, yips, or anxiety about hitting over a water trap don’t really stand a chance! Try it for yourself and track your golf handicap over a period of four weeks.

Try This EFT Exercise Yourself…

The next time you are faced with a shot that is causing you any sort of negative emotion, step away from the ball. Identify the negative feeling and focus on it while calmly performing the “tapping” as described below.

1. Using the tips of your index and middle fingers, tap on the boney area about one inch directly below one eye – approximately 10 times.

2. Tap 10 times on the boney area just outside the same side eye.

3. Tap the insides of your wrists together approximately 10 times.

4. Finally, take a deep breath, step up to the ball and swing away.

Yes, it really can be that simple to eliminate the mental and emotional barriers between you and consistent peak performance!

The above demonstration is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the enormous potential inherent in these techniques to reduce your golf handicap and increase your enjoyment of the game.

Golf requires more equipment than many sports; golf equipment spans an entire industry and you can find anything from clubs to gloves that promise to improve your game, and they usually come with a nice price tag.

So here’s Tip No.1: Keep it affordable. Don’t spend all your kids’ college money on equipment until you know how to play and whether you want to keep playing. Go for mid-range sports manufacturers that sell $100 clubs.

Tip No.2 will be: take golf lessons. You’ll find group lessons with golfers in your skill range and you might make friends to golf with. There are also individual lessons with a private instructor or your town’s pro golfer. While private lessons focus on your individual skills, they can be quite expensive and take more time than group lessons. Remember that after you get the basics, the real lessons are on the course.

Tip No.3 is to continue learning at home. No, not in your back yard. Golf has much to do with technique and watching instructional videos can help a lot. You can also go online and find many tips and clips that can improve your game.

Tips No. 4, 5, 6 : Grip, posture and stance. The three essentials of golf. Grip means how you hold the club, and the better your grip the better you’ll play. Posture leads to a proper swing and maintaining balance is essential. Having a stable golf stance and footing will help you control the ball and get it where you want it to go.

Tip No.7: understand and follow golf etiquette. This covers the basic golfer’s code that will ensure everybody is having a pleasant time whether they are pros or amateur golfers. Golf etiquette urges you to be patient and respect your fellow golfers; speak in normal voice and don’t shout or laugh too loud; check your ball number to avoid winning (or losing) someone else’s game; don’t stand too close to the swing zone of other players and the list goes on and on.

Tip No. 8 is to simplify your golf learning process and get the reinforcement you need to sustain the positive advances you make. Dive deep into your mental game, shoring up any weak links you may have found difficult to overcome with previous instructional techniques.

Most important of all, enjoy yourself out there! Through all the frustration and education that’s yet to come, golf can be a lot of fun and very satisfying as you improve. If you make the most of every opportunity to play, that improvement will come.
