New Swingless Golf Club Enables Anyone To Enjoy a Day On the Golf Course
The golf industry has long known that about 3 million people a year try golf and each year almost as many give up. Frustration and physical limitations or pain that make the long drive difficult are amongst the commonly cited reasons for giving up or not even trying golf. The Swingless Golf Club eliminates the long drive as an obstacle by driving a ball from about 25 to 200 yards without swinging.
(PRWEB via PR Web Direct) December
3, 2004 -- Now more than ever, a golfing experience can be enjoyed by anyone,
almost regardless of skill level or physical restrictions, thanks to the
“Swingless Golf Club”. Golfers using the innovative Swingless Club can hit the
ball from about 25 to 200 yards, with little or no practice, getting them close
to the putting green without strain or disappointment. The Swingless Club uses a
plastic strip of five small charges called a Power Strip. Energy from the charge
drives the striker in the club head forward to hit the ball and an adjustable
range control enables shots of varying lengths. The “short game” near and on the
putting green remains the same using conventional wedges, chipper and putters.
Swingless Golf is not without “game” as players must still plan their shots and
consider sand and water traps, distance and direction, wind and loft, the roll
of the ball, and other variables that make golf a game.
This is a
wonderful advancement for those who thought they had to give up on golf or had
no confidence they could ever master the skill needed for the long drive.
Although 25 million people are already addicted to the game, an industry study
revealed that 19 million more would like to enjoy the golfing experience but are
reluctant to try. And while 3 million people a year actually do try golf, almost
as many give up annually. The three most commonly cited reasons are: 1)
frustration or intimidation associated with the long drive, 2) physical pain or
conditions aggravated by the full body motion associated with the long drive,
and 3) the time-intensive learning curve in traditional golf.
Traditional
golf targets those who want to enjoy PGA-style play as well as the satisfaction
of mastering a competitive golf-swing. Swingless Golf will target anyone who
simply wants some good clean fun in a pleasant outdoor environment. It is a
parallel sport, sharing the golf course with conventional golf, unique in its
ability to help more people enjoy the fun, fresh air and exercise of the golfing
experience. Just as snowboards enabled many more people to enjoy a skiing
experience, the Swingless Golf Club will stimulate the golf industry, increasing
the number of players and reducing the number who quit. Some who might benefit
from the advent of the Swingless Golf club include:
A. Persons of all ages
looking for a fun activity, but having limited time and/or skill to learn the
game.
B. Conventional golfers who have developed physical problems
aggravated by the full body motion of the long drive, who might otherwise have
to give up golfing.
C. Non-golfing partners and friends of conventional
golfers.
D. The growing senior population, which looks to golf as exercise
and entertainment.
E. Meeting and event planners, as well as fund-raising
tournament planners who can use Swingless Clubs to increase participation.
F.
Groups of any kind looking for activities for members.
G. Some of the
nation’s 4 million disabled individuals seeking outdoor activities.
The
Swingless Golf Club won the “New Product Showcase Award” at a past PGA golf
merchandising show in Orlando, Florida and has been featured on CBS and UPN
evening magazine TV shows as well as Paul Harvey News Radio.
