Question by Kristin C: question about golf rangefinders?
My husbands golf friends were using laser rangefinders at the course last weekend. He casually mentioned that they were nice so I picked up on it as a great fathers day gift. The thing is I didn’t know there would be so many choices. He said his friends were using the ones that you look into, not the gps type. What one should I get? Nikon, bushnell? My budget is less than $ 250.

amzn.to Golf GPS Unit amzn.to The Garmin’s Approach G5 is a rugged, waterproof, touchscreen handheld GPS system. It is packed with thousands of pre-loaded golf course maps. The G5 uses a high-sensitivity GPS receiver to measure individual shot distances to show the exact yardage to fairways, hazards, and greens. Guesswork is eliminated as you can keep score on your G5, get accurate yardage readings and more. Weighing only 6.8 ounces with batteries, it is featherweight. A transflective color 3-inch touchscreen makes it readable under any lighting conditions. It is also waterproof and can withstand accidental immersion, but hopefully you’ll be avoding water hazards! The Approach G5 displays and updates your exact position on stunningly detailed, preloaded course maps throughout the United States. A highly sensitive GPS receiver pinpoints your position. As you move, the Approach G5 automatically updates your position, so you’ll always know your yardage. There’s no subscription or setup fees. The unit is also compliant with USGA rules. Need to measure distances for your next shot? Touch any point on the sunlight-readable display, and Approach shows the precise distance to that exact spot–fairway; hazard; landing area; or the front, middle, and back of the green. Approach doubles as a digital scorecard for your foursome. After the game, you can save and review the scores on your computer at home. Having a golf GPS unit in your bag is a bit like playing with your very own PGA

Telemedicine and Parkinson disease: Improving Care and Clinical Research http://golfnewsnet.com/the-elite-golfer-resources/telemedicine-and-parkinson-disease-improving-care-and-clinical-research/ http://golfnewsnet.com/the-elite-golfer-resources/telemedicine-and-parkinson-disease-improving-care-and-clinical-research/#comments Sun, 21 Aug 2011 07:25:51 +0000 golfnewsnet http://golfnewsnet.com/the-elite-golfer-resources/telemedicine-and-parkinson-disease-improving-care-and-clinical-research/

Google Tech Talk March 22, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Kevin Biglan, MD, MPH and Ray Dorsey, MD, MBA, University of Rochester. The cost of clinical trials is rising, recruiting participants is increasingly difficulty, and monitoring safety is increasingly important. Home and patient appropriate technologies like the Marvell Plug computer and Google products can help address all of these issues. We will discuss our efforts to monitor blood pressure remotely using these technologies in a Michael J. Fox funded Parkinson disease clinical trial. Telemedicine using simple web-based video conferencing using, for example, the Marvell Plug computer and Google’s services can also address large unmet needs in clinical care. Chronic conditions account for 75% of health care expenditures and affect over 140 million Americans. However, many have limited access to physicians, especially specialists, who can improve their care. We will present results of a pilot, randomized controlled trial of increasing specialty access using telemedicine to individuals with Parkinson disease residing in a remote nursing home and remote communities. We discuss future directions, including providing care directly into people’s homes (‘virtual house calls’), and ways that Google’s services can provide additional value. A new variation of the Marvell Plug computer in planned as an interactive television server for the virtual house calls in a upcoming study.

Question by bladz1454: How many different brands in a good golf club set?
I have for the most part a full set of Taylormade clubs and I wanted to keep it that way, but now I am realizing my set may be a bit scattered. My set is:
-r5 driver
-r7 3 wood
-TM Rescue “TP” 3 hybrid
-Burner XD 4-PW

But here is were I want advice… my wedges. I have a Burner XD Sand wedge, RAC OS2 Lob Wedge, and Tour Burner Gap wedge… three completely different clubs. Should I get rid of all of them and get a nice set of 3 which are all the same type? I was looking at Adams Tom Watson wedges which are only like 100$ , but I am not sure if I would be losing too much money. Does any one know where my wedges stand in compare to performance of other cheaper ones? Any advice?

Answer by Riptide
titliest bob vokey spin milled are hands down the best wedges on the planet.

Answer by glen j
I’ve had a Bushnell for about 5 years and I recommend it, altho, don’t be fooled by some of the readings. If it looks like 150 yds. but the reading is 200 then you’ve probably picked up some object other than the pin.

Question by whitneyko_2010: So I want to make a girls golf team, is that so bad?
We have a boys golf team but no girls team and I talked to my guidance counselor about it and she said just join the boys golf team. Well I don’t want to be the only girl on the boys golf team. That is really embarrassing!! But she didn’t really give me an answer on letting me make a girls golf team. What is your opinion on this?

Best answer:

Answer by weatherization guy
Back when I played on my boys high school team (30+ yrs ago), our cross-town rival high school had a girl on their boys team… she was the #2 player on a 6 player squad. I was the #6 player on my team, so I never got a chance to play against her, but I know she beat our #2 guy (who became a club pro after graduating from high school). She could shoot +3 or +4 for 9 holes hitting from the men’s tees. Also, I know several of the ladies on the Duramed Futures Tour had to play on the boys team when they were in high school because their school had no girls team. Most of them said it motivated them to play better because they didn’t want to get beat by boys. I’d say not to worry about being embarrassed, just play !!!
