Practice, Practice, Practice!

If you want to improve your game you just need to practice. You need to go to the range, get a bucket of balls, and just start swinging. The more intense your practice is, the better results you'll get on the field. Information you learn from your swing and how far your ball travels will make your practice even more efficient. Technology is allowing every practice to become so much more fun, efficient and productive that it's making a trip to the range a whole new experience.

There are thousands of products today that help golfers improve their swing. One of these products is called V1 Golf Swing Analysis Software. It gives you a variety of services that will help improve your swing. The product includes encyclopedic information about the golf swing, physics of golf balls, recording your swing and identifying your faults, and a guide to improve your mistakes for a better golf swing. This product is perfect for recreational golfers who want to make their swing perfected.

Golf ranges are becoming more advanced. Chelsea Piers Golf Club in New York City wanted to increase their throughput time so that more golfers can hit more balls. The way they did this was creating an automatic tee system. After you hit your ball a tee will come out from the ground with a new ball already in place ready to be hit. This golf club also allows golfers to play on their favorite course with their Simulator Play. It takes place like a virtual game; like an advanced Wii. TopGolf is also using more technology to create an entirely different experience at the golf range. They use a system called the I.D. Ball System where a micro chip is installed into the golf ball. This chip measures how far the ball travels and how close it is to a certain target. The closer you are to the target, the more points you get. They also have a leader board that is displayed to all the golfers to make the environment more competitive and fun. They are trying to capture more of the market by attracting leisure golfers and giving them a whole new experience at the golf range.

With advancements in golf products and golf ranges, practice is becoming fun and efficient. You don't even need a personal golf trainer any more because technology is becoming your personal trainer. Golf ranges should start implementing the use of more technology. They should start combining precise real time information with golf swing advice. Every stall you walk into should be your own personalized coach that knows all of your mistakes and faults and gives you personalized feedback on how to improve your swing. Every stall should give you a reason why your ball only traveled 'x' yards, give you a video analysis of why your swing is making each hit slice, give you tips from the pros, suggest products that match perfectly to each individual's game, and give you a whole new golfing experience. Technology can transform golf ranges into a practice haven. Hopefully, all golf ranges will start becoming more advanced so that I could start improving my game!
