    Thank You for purchasing the golf industry’s state-of-the-art TourGAUGE Putter Machine. You should find it simple to operate. Please follow the instructions in this manual. If you have any questions, please call 1-800-437-1314. Your TourGAUGE Putter Machine is a percision gauge. When measuring a particular golf club in your TourGAUGE Putter Machine, the angle readings are correct. When these angle readings are compared to the published standards for that putter and are found different, then that particular iron does not meet those standards. If you compare the loft/lie angles of a particular putter measured in other machines to a TourGAUGE Putter Machine, there may be a difference. That is because some machines do not adjust for offset, progressive offset, non-offset, or face progression hosel positions and therefore give inaccurate and inconsistent readings. You can measure any putter in a TourGAUGE Putter Machine accurately. All products manufactured by Mitchell Golf are guaranteed against defects and workmanship. Replacement or repair will be at the discretion of Mitchell Golf.

A square-dimpled ball Bill Geisler, a past president of the Society of Hickory Golfers, sat down for a discussion about his passion for old golf clubs at Winter Park Golf Course, a short nine-holer that has drawn critical acclaim since its renovation in 2016 and proved an ideal setting for the hickory players. Geisler was there to run the Winter Park Hickory Classic, in which most of the two dozen competitors dressed in period clothes. As Geisler explains, the hickory mindset is not just about which clubs to play. It’s more of a lifestyle choice as an estimated 3,000 hickory aficionados in the U.S. embrace the gear and methodologies enjoyed by players before the introduction of steel shafts in the early 1900s. 60 GOLFWEEK ISSUE 1 . 2020 JAMES GILBERT/USA TODAY SPORTS TODAY GILBERT/USA JAMES + FOR MORE GOLF NEWS, VISIT GOLFWEEK.COM 61 LEFT: Natalie Wells of Winter Park, Florida, tees off in her hometown hickory tournament.

  • A Three-Dimensional Forward Dynamic Model of the Golf Swing
    A Three-dimensional Forward Dynamic Model of the Golf Swing by Daniel Johnson A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Systems Design Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Daniel Johnson 2015 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) predictive golfer model can be a valuable tool for investigating the golf swing and designing new clubs. A forward dynamic model for simulating golfer drives is presented, which includes: (1) a four degree of freedom golfer model, (2) a flexible shaft model based on Rayleigh beam theory, (3) an impulse-momentum impact model, (4) and a spin rate controlled ball trajectory model. The input torques for the golfer model are provided by parameterized joint torque generators that have been designed to mimic muscular inputs. These joint torques are optimized to produce the longest ball carry distance for a given set of golf club design parameters. The flexible shaft model allows for continuous bending in the transverse directions, axial twisting of the club and variable shaft stiffness along its length. The completed four-part model is used for examining the following parameters of interest in club design by performing simulation experiments: clubhead mass, clubhead centre of mass location, clubhead moment of inertia, shaft flexibility, and clubhead and shaft aerodynamics.

Aggregate score See "total score". Albatross See "double eagle". Approach shot The last shot that lands on or around the green, or in the hole, that does not begin on or around the green. Apron See "fringe". Back nine Holes 10 through 18. Backspin A reverse spin naturally imparted on the ball by a club (other than a putter) when a stroke is made, which can cause the ball to stop quickly when it lands and often move in the opposite direction. Backswing The backward portion of the swing prior to making a stroke at the ball. Birdie A score of 1 under par for a hole. Bogey A score of 1 over par for a hole. Bunker A hazard consisting of a prepared area of ground, often a hollow, from which turf or soil has been removed and replaced with sand or the like. Also unofficially referred to as a "sandtrap".
