Swing into Golf Shape

28 May

I have been using the Momentus Swing Trainer for over 10 years and wanted to give a shout out for this incredible training aid.  I am not sponsored by Momentus, I wholeheartedly just believe in the product and the guys behind the product.

Jim Sorenson, President and Founder of Momentus is a first class guy and has built a dream team of people around him.  They are based in a small town in Iowa and have that warm midwest hospitality. They also have Freddy Funk (another 1st class guy) endorsing the product. The MOMENTUS is a revolutionary swing trainer that incorporates a patented technology, whereby the clubshaft embodies most of the weight which is evenly distributed throughout the length of the shaft.

The reason this is so beneficial in a practice club is because as a golfer swings the MOMENTUS, the evenly weighted shaft generates momentum. The momentum causes the club to swing along a balanced and proper swing plane. Through repetitions with the MOMENTUS, a golfer ingrains the feel for swinging the club on-plane. This leads to a drastic improvement in consistency and clubhead speed. The momentum of the shaft swings the club, so a golfer’s muscles are stretched by swinging the trainer. Additional flexibility and strength are benefits also gained from swinging the MOMENTUS. It is an excellent club to use for warming up prior to playing a round of golf.

Let me know what your favorite training aid is in  your bag.  Love to hear your comments.

I look forward to seeing you on the course.

In His Grip Golf Retreat

18 Mar

This weekend, 12 of us are swinging down to Limestone Springs Golf Club, one of my favorite public golf courses in Alabama.  We have 18 holes scheduled Friday afternoon and 36 holes on Saturday.  The weather is looking good, sunny and highs in the 60′s.

Limestone Springs Golf Club

How many of you have been on a 2-3 day golf retreat?  What did you like about it?  What would your ultimate golf retreat look like?  Our In His Grip golf retreats include a lot of golf but after an evening meal, we all settle in and talk about life from a Christian perspective.  We talk about our faith, our families and even have a time of praying for each other.

I will give you an update next week with pictures and and of course a story or two.

Until then, be sure to keep it in the short grass.

In His grip,

Scott

“March to the Masters”

15 Mar

I absolutely love this time of year.  March Madness is upon us which triggers the March to the Masters.  How many of you have been fortunate to stroll the fairways of Augusta National?

I was blessed to receive 4 tickets for M-W practice rounds in 1997 which was the year that Tiger won by 12 shots.  This was a dream trip for me and I haven’t been back since.  That is all changing as I am humbled to share with you that I will be in Augusta from Monday through Friday this April.

I have been asked to share my “In His Grip” story at the Masters Prayer Breakfast on Tuesday, April 6th at 7am.  This great event is hosted by FCA and will be held again this year at Warren Baptist Church located 1.6 miles from the front gates of Augusta National on Washington Blvd.  They are expecting over 1000 people in attendance.

The week kicks off on Monday, April 5th from 7:00am-7:30am as I will be on WAFJ 88.3 with John and Cleve In The Morning as we talk Masters and about the Master, Jesus Christ.  Later in the day I will be joining Dr. David McKinley, Senior Pastor of Warren Baptist Church on WBPI Channel 49 for an hour show as talk faith and fairways.  Be sure to join us if you are in the Augusta area.

My Augusta trip wraps up on Thursday evening as I have been asked by Lifeway Christian Retail Store to be available for an in-store signing of our new “Master Your Short Game DVD” at their Augusta location from 6pm-8pm.  I have been told that they will have a bunch of giveaways and the golf cart will be parked in the front of the store.  Feel free to stop by I would love to meet you in person.

I will be sure to keep you posted as we get closer to Masters week but for now, I ask you to pray me through this spring season that leads to Augusta National for Masters week.

I hope to see you on the course!

In His Grip,

Scott
