Harvey Morris Penick was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2002 under the lifetime achievement category for being one of the greatest golf teachers of all time. According to Penick, “Nothing is more important psychologically than knocking putts into the hole. Sinking putts makes your confidence soar and it devastates your opponent.” (Penick, H. (1997). The Wisdom of Harvey Penick. New York: Simon & Schuster.)

Let’s face it, putting is the scoring game and the right equipment can help you hear that spine-tingling sound when the ball rattles down the inner rim of the hole.

To illustrate, let’s take a look at the Carbite Golf ZG Offset Hosel Mallet Putter. As the name implies, this putter is packed with technology to help you put more putts in the hole and watch your golfing buddies cringe.

Carbite Golf ZG Offset Hosel Mallet Putter Club

But what does each part of the name really mean?

•    Carbite Golf ZG – Brand name of putter.

•    Mallet – Putter shaped like a mallet.

•    Hosel – the part of the clubhead into which the shaft is fitted and secured.

•    Offset – the distance from the frontmost part of the hosel to the frontmost part of the clubhead. This helps get the ball rolling smoothly and on line. If you read the green right you know where the ball will end up.

•    Offset Hosel – The purpose of the offset hosel is to help golfers line up with their eyes over the ball with a good line of sight. This type of club also helps keep the hands slightly ahead of the ball when the putt is struck, which is a putting fundamental.

With a full-sized, weighted and proper balanced club for the same price as a dinner at Applebee’s, you may want to add your name to the Carbite Golf ZG Offset Hosel Mallet Putter’s list of satisfied golfers.

Clear your schedule for the end of February 2009. With the upcoming birth of Tiger’s 2nd child and the rebirth of Tiger’s reconstructed left knee, the world of golf is going to be buzzing with excitement.

Will Tiger bring the same juggernaut amount of talent and intensity that has led him to become one of the best golfers of all time?

According to James Achenbach at golfweek.com, there are two prevailing points of view about his return:
1.)    In the words of Ezekiel 25:17, Tiger will return with “great vengeance and furious anger” to smite his opponents.

VS.

2.)    Tiger will concentrate more time with his wife and cubs in the homestead leading to a soft return.

In our opinion, Tiger will prey on his opponents in 2009 for a successful season. Tiger’s play and demeanor have reaffirmed his dire passion for golf over and over again. In his own words, he declared, “Well, I don’t want to be the same. I want to be better. I want to become better than I was, and this leg will help me in that process.”

With a surgically reconstructed knee, we’re even more convinced that the man who has won about 25% of all professional tournaments is a walking 18-hole cyborg.

What do you think? Will Tiger have a successful return or will he falter in 2009? Give us some spirited responses in the comments section.
